after this huge piece of marble was
| dragged from the side of tho mountain
| H Was found that al llneightlv senm
| ran through it. AMI it was cast aside.
! Many sculptors came and looked nj its
| white surface, but rejected il ms use
! less. One day young man, not yet
| twenty five years OF age, named Mich
! aeI Angelo came and looked at the
| stone and ordered II taken to his
| studio Then Will, mallet and chisel
! he began to work on It day in and day
| out. He cut in and around this ugly
| seam until ct last the greatest Of his
early masterpieces took form aud that
! stone became the marvel Of the age
as David the Shepherd preparing for
his battle with the mighty Goliath. So

In the sight Of the world q little baby
does not amount to much Rabies are
born by the hundred every day. That
| baby does not know anything but to eat
and sleep when he is well and cry When
he is in pain But to his mother that
baby Is no ordinary child. She hovers
over him: she cares for him; she has
beautiful visions of what that baby in
the future may become. And when, as
time passes on. the baby grows into II
boy and the boy into an intellectual
giant and becomes n leader of men the
mother sits svectly by and says: ooh.
am not surprised. Even when he
was little boy | thought all this sue

when he was little baby sleeping in
NV arms or when | was rocking his

Then God gees you learning to love
men aud women and children. no mat

/ God sees you bringing the humblcst
aud the weakest of his children to his
mercy seat Then God sees you
ascending into glory to sit by hs side
Oh. my friend. will You not let this
divine idea come true? 1t can and II

heart TO Jesus Christ. You cnnnot
honor men unless you allow yourself
TO he honored by the cleansing and
purifying blood of Jesus Christ. Get
