playground. Often he has come into
my house and thrown himself down on
the floor in an exhaustion of boisterous
mirth; and yet he was Christian con

right out from world of s;n and su
fcring to world of joy. How many
sorrows they escape, hoy many trIGp.a-
tions, how many troubles, Children
dead are safe. Tho - that live are IA
peril. We know not what dark path
they may take. The day may come in
which they will break your heart: but
children dead are slfc-Slfe forever.
Weeping parents, do not mourn too
bitterly over your child that has gone.
There are two kinds of prayer, made at
Il child's sick bed.
One prayer the Lord likes: Tie other
prayer lie does not like. When n SOal
lsncels down at Il chili's sick bed AMI
says: 20 Lord, spa-r this little one; he
is very near to my heart: | don't want
to part with him. but thy will br done"
that is the l,inl of IL Trav,r
the Lord loves. There is anuta-
cr kind Of u prayer which | have
heard men make In substance when
they say; 20 Lord, this isn't right; it
Is hard to take this child; You havs no
right To take this child; spare this
child; ! can't give him up, and won't
give him up" The Lord answers that
kind of u prayer sometimes The child
lives on, and lives on, and travels OF in
paths of wicliednesS to perish. At the
end of every prayer for a child's life,
say; Thy will, o Lord, be DONE
