There are tousands Of pink-cheek-

of ours who say their prayers nightly
in concert; and the only place for a
child to pray is at the knee of the
woman who loves it.
Certainly a founding is a risk. For
that matter, Iife is one big lottery.
Everything in it is more or less Of
gamble. one may not be suSe Of
the future of the child who inherits
traits from parents who forsook their

what the woman with the dog could
do for such a child-it is what the
child could do for her. Such child.

tiny Moses of the world wilderness
that can strike with its dimpled pink
hand a heart Of stone and make it
