How Grace Spent Christmas Day.
II got her TO sit down. and in few
minutes I was through. Then. as She
started up to get ready to go home.
she fell over in dead faint We
brought her around after little-and
then. I'll never forgive myself for what
happened. But it was Christmas Eve,
and there was so little time left that
I let her persuade me to let her 60
home without me. as couple of men
from the store offered TO see her home
safe. I'd ought to have gone. as
Grace's parents were both dead and
she was boarding alone. 1t seems like
she tainted again on the way; and
when 1 went TO see her on Christmas
Day she was in bed and very sick. She
had been foolish and spent all her
money for Christmas things. and 1T

BACK TO CHILDHOOD

"After childhood comes a knowl-
edge of evil, or sophisticate and
unhealthy mode of life; or one pro-
duces the other. and both are embit-
tered. Everything tells us to get back
TO a state of childhood-pain, pleas
ure, Imagination, reason, passion,
natural affection or piety, the better
part of religion. If knowledge is sup
posed to be incompatible with it
knowledge would sacrifice herself, il
necessary, to the same cause, for she
also tells us to do so. But as a little
knowledge first leads us away from
happiness. so a greater knowledge
may be destined to bring us back
into q finer region of it."-Leigt
