Work For the Hopeless.

The hooting mob, bounding the
outcast woman into the Masters
presence, that he might add his
scorn and condemnation, are not
alone in their treatment of those
who fall.
By their sin and shame, they
seem to many, even today, to place
themselves outside the door of hope
and even of any expression of
sympathy, The fall from virtue
is so deep and dark and shameless,
society finds it hard to forgive and
to offer the hand Of restoration.
Yet a very human heat beats
underneath that life of shame, and
a soul on it's way to eternity, with
more possibilities of whiteness and
beauty and blessing, than Angelo
discovered in the dusty block of
stone by the roadside And if the
change from filth to purity, from
vileness to whiteness, is to be
wrought, the first outward instru-
ment in the Transformation will be
some tender, loving word Of SYM
pathy. the warm Outstretched hand
of the love that thinketh no evil. .
The lowest down can be saved
and are worth saving, by as much
as heaven is better than despair.
The example of the Christ when
the sinful woman was brought be-
fore him. is ours to follow in it's
loving forgiveness and sympathy:
Neither do | condemn thee; go
and sin no more"
The grace that renews knows no
limit to its transforming power.
And it is for men and women
whose feet have not slipped into
these dreadful ways, to make them
selves channels for that grace.
With one warm hand of sympathy
touching the poor outcast, and the
other touching the mighty Re-
deemer: they can become the
instruments in lifting broken
hearted hopeless ones out of their
shame and misery. into the purity
and gladness with which Heaven
clothes those, who are one day to
walk its streets. Chatfeld VeUS.
