That it is only step from the sublime

the following amusing incident that
happened few Sabbaths ago IN we'll
known church, and caused no little mer-
riment among the teachers. The super
mtendent was telling the wee small
folks of the custom in certain countries
of claiming the prisoners hands and
feet together. "And, - she asked, don t
you suppose that if some one came and
released them they would be very happy
and grateful?"
1t was unanimously agreed that they
would.

coming to her point, Jesus was sent to

sins. Are any of you here bound with
the chains of sin?''f No" piped the
