Griffin. care you that mani" Eyes, l

like to have you pray for me. I have
committed murder, and I must die.
But l don't want to go out of this world
until some u prays for me. You are
my fathers friend, and I would like to
have you pray for me-"
Mr.. Griffin went from judicial au-
thority to judicial authority to get that
young mans pardon. He slept not night
nor day. He went from influential per-
son to influential person until in some
way he got that young mans pardon.
He came down on the dock, and as he
arrived on the dock with the pardon
the father came. He had heard that his
son, under a disguised name, had been
committing crime and Vas going to be
put to death. So Mr.. Griffin and the IA
ther went on ships deck, and at the
very moment MI. Griffin offered the
pardon to the young man the old father
threw his arms around the sons neck,
and the son said: Father, I have done
very wrong, and I am very sorry. l
WHO'LL L Auu AONO1 blOhOA yOuI ACol 10 !
am very sorryl'' "Oh," said the father.
"don't mention it. 1t won't make any
difference now. 1t is all over. I forgive
you, my SON." And he kissed him and
kissed him and kissed him. Today I
offer you the pardon of the gospel-full
pardon, free pardon. ! do not care what
your crime has been. Though you say
you have committed d crime against
God, against your own soul, against
your fellow man, against your family,
against the day of Judgment, against
the cross of Christ-whatever your crime
has been, here is pardon, full pardon,
and the very moment you take that
pardon your Heavenly Father throws his
arms round about you and says: "My
son, I forgive you. 1t is all right. You
are as much in my favor now as if you
had never sinned." Oh, there is joy on
earth and joy in heaven. Who will take
the Fathers embrace?

THE A G OF A SMILE.
By ELLA WHEELER w1Loax.

Smile a little, smile q little,
AS you go along,
Not alone when lite Is pleasant,
But when things go wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning,
Loves to hear you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame Will fly.
smile a little, smile q little,
All along the road;
Every life must have its burden,
Every heart il load.
Why sit down in gloom and dark
With your grief to SUPP
AS you drink Fate's bitter tonic
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom You pass and meet;
Browns are thorns and smiles are blossom
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
BY a sullen face;
Smile a little, smile a little.
Brighten up the place.
Smile upon you undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Der his task, waits wealth or glory:
lie who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years;
Smile a little, smile a little.
Even through your tears.
