Snow teaches purity. IT. IS illus.

the Christ.!ife. There is only one
thing IN the world that Is more beau
tifu than the driven snow. 1t is a
soul whom God has cleansed. ''Come
now and let Us reason together, saith
the Lord; though your sins be as
scarlet, they shall be white as snow;
though they lie red like crimson,
they shall be as wool. :" lsa l:lS).
And David's plaintive plea after his
fearful fall was purge me with hys'

has cleansed, pure is the life that
