Many marvel how the worm got into
the apple, so fair without, and within
SO foul. The fly deposited the egg of the
larva In the blossom, and the fruit grew
around it. "Faolishness is bound up
in the heart of n child" and sin is eat
ing up its core, while there may be a
fair semblance of innocence without.
The parent cannot be too careful as
to the influences that light on the flower
OF child's life. In the nursery, and on
the playground, the moth of sin is seek
ing a nest and bin for its offspring.
The core OF, childlife may be destroyed
ere the presence Of evil is suspected.

OF all England's mobiles of our day, the

This man, great with the greatness of
goodness, wrote his name deep in the
hearts of England's poor. Yet he said
that all he was and all he had done was
due to his nurse, Mary Minnice, who
died before he was seven years old. She
had given him her faith. How far a
