TILE pRoPIGAL GIRL.

We all have heart for the prodlgal
boy,
Who was caught in sins mad whirl,
And We welcome him back with songs
of joy,
But what of the prodigal girl?
For the prodigal boy there's an open
door
And a fathers bounteous fare;
And though he is wretched, sick and
poor,
He is sure of welcome there.
Rut what of the girl who has gone
astray,
Who has lost in the battle of sin J?
Saw, do We forgive in the same sweet
way,
We've always forgiven him?
Does the door stand ajar, as if to say
"Come, enter, you need not fear;
I've been open thus since you went
away,
Now close to the second year,"
Or do we with hand of hellish pride,
Close and bolt the door,
And swear, "While heaven and earth
abide
She will enter here no more!'
O. Christ! It seems We have never
learned -
The lesson taught in the sand.
For even yet the woman is spurned
And stoned in a christian land.
Down. in to the slough we hurl her
back,
Then turn around with smile
And welcome the boy from the sinful
track,
Though he may have been more
vile.
We all have heart for the prodigai

Who was caught in sins mad whirl,
And we welcome him back with songs
