ting the talk in very effective manner
by taking three small walls and filling
them about two thirds full of pure
water, those he said represented the
little boys and girls with pure hearts.
Into one of the walls he put one drop of
ink which he said represented sin, and
showed how all of the pure water was
colored, or how sin contaminated the
whole of the person. Into another of
the bottles he placed one drop of clear
liquid which looked as pure as the
water but when it came into contact
with the water in the bottle all was dis
oolored again, this he represented as
being the little secret sins known only
to ones self but which were as detri-
mental as those known to the world.

ground.
