OUR LITTLE HEROES.
Children Of San Francisco Proved
Worthy in Tire of Trial

"oiAity III ifFc OF IEtdi.
There is much aork for these
hcmeless children by the sea. Mothers
find it hard to keep their families

SO big sisters must help tend the lit

keep the camp fires burning. Indeed

of brightness and cheer into the midst

and the boys and girls did their
share of this work.
Yes, the children of San Francisco
have been tried and have proved
themselves worthy of their descent
from the men who crossed the plains
in the days Of '49 when gold was dis
covered in California. With their
cheer and courage they are helping
fathers and mothers to commence life
anew. While the rain beats upon the
tents of the homeless, there is the
prattle OF child voices and the laugh

on a round of calls Even in that
bitter cold rain of the first Sunday
after the fire, when tents were few
and frail and fathers stood all night
in the storm holding fimsy shelter
over their dear ones, the children did
not complain. In days to come, when
the new city rises strong and beauti-
full out OF the ruins of the old, when
men point with pride to this broad
avenue and that fine building, they
will not forget that in those days of
trial it was the mothers and children

There are certain tendencies manifest

which are at least suggestive, if not
prophetic, of great advancement in the
Kingdom of our Lord in the world. The

had his attention drawn to the facts by
which this statement is sustained. TheI9

the exercises, and was assisted by the
brethren, making service that was most
impressive and greatly enjoyed by the
congregation. The sermon was preached

conditions existing then and now.

all the families of the earth" Youngest
in the family of nations, she has easily
outstripped all, and is the envy and des-

world, with unlimited natural resources.

development of its resources has lust be-

Great Britain. "The dew of her youth"
