SCRIPTURE.

Luke 15:1I-2O.


And he said. a certain man had two
sons:
And the younger OF them said to
his father. Father, give me the portion
Of goods that falleth to me. And he
divided unto them his living.
And not many days after the young
er son gathered all together, and took
his journey into a far country, and
there wasted his substance with riot
Gus living.
And when he had spent all, there
arose a mighty famine in that land;
and he began 10 be in want.
And he went and Joined himself to
a citizen Of that country: and he sent
him into his fields 10 feed swine.
And he would fain have filled his
belly with the husks that the swine
did eat; aSd no man gave unto him.
And when he came to himself, he
said How many hired servants Of my
fathers have bread enough and to
spare, and I perish with hunger.
I will arise and go ITO my father,
and will say unto him. Father, I have
sinned against heaven and before
thee,
And am no more worthy to be called
thy son; make me as one Of thy hired
servants
And he arose, and came to his
father. But when he was yet a great
way off, his father saw him, and had
compassion. and ran and fell on his
neck, and kissed him.
