The agencies, grand In their conception
and powerful IN their results. that have
been created for the purpose Of reclaim
Ing man from the evil communications
surrounding him, have fought Tor u
noble cause and In this have accom-.
plished an excellent mission. This has
cost heroic work, and while Christian
influences have sought TO undo the work
OF evil Vaccinations. thousands have
persisted because such influences have
not been brought to bear upon the ten
der age Of childhood. The kndcrgar.
ten takes the child when his mind Is In
a formative state and gives the character
an uplit that under ordinary circum
stances places HIM above alluung
temptations Incident TO early manhood.
The child enters upon life a bundle OF
possibilities
