Does God, our Mother, want to set forth
what a foolish thing 1t is to go away from
the right, and how glad divine mercy is to
take back the wandererp How is it done?
BY n picture A good father. Large farm
with fat sheep and oxen. Fine house with
exquisite wardrobe. Disconnected boy.
Goes away. Sharpers fleece him. Feeds
hogs Gets homesick. Starts back. Sees
an old man running 1t Is fatherl The
hand, torn of the husks, gets ring. The
foot, inllamed and bleeding, gets sandal.
The bare shoulder, showing through the
tatters, gets robe. The stomach, gnaw-
ing itself with hunger gets full platter
smoking with meat. Tue father cannot
eat for looking at the returned adventurer.
Tears running down the face until they
come to n smile-the night dew melting
into the morning.
No work on the farm that day, for when
a bad boy repents and comes back promis-
ing 20 do better, God knows that is enough
for one day, And they began TO he merry"

had fall. He has never got over it. The
scarlet fever mut1ied his hearing. He is
