When he looked at the clothes as

Like young lady. She wanted
20 20 TO a place one time and her
father questioned the advisability of
her going. she said: Papa. / have
great desire 10 so and after have
gone and gratihed II. / will have no
arm bitiop to Ro again" and he was
amazed and he said:
mo, l don't want You 10 70. It
won't do you any good TO go and
II may iniure you. 1t win leave Its
mark at least"
She begged and while she sat in
front OF the fireplace, a burned out
coal dropped out and rolled near the
edge OF the rug He said to her. after
II laid there while: Throw ii back
in"
She tossed II back in and ne said.
Did 1t burn you T''
No"
Well" ne said, 'Tooh AZ your
black and srnutty fingers
He said; why so to that placet
II will leave it's mark on you II 1t
doesn't burn you and ruin you. II
II don't injure you IT win leave It's
mark. You won't be as good after
you go AS you would have been IL
you hadn't gone. You may see and
hear something that will leave Its
mark and you'll wish that you'd never
seen or heard it"
You cant trife with sin, for II
win leave tts mark as sure as you
live. Some years ago a United States
congressman from distant state went
to New Yosk. His daughter had
gone away from home and the mother
for he had every belief that she was
there. He went to the Salvation
Army and said: Find her,
And then he described her. How
fair her face, how beautiful her hair.
how red her lips. how perfectly form
cd her body. how white her teeth and
how sweet her voice
He said: Never mind the expense,
When you locate her. wire me-"
Two months went by and ono day
they found her and wired him and
sss.id: We've found Nina"
He Jumped on train and went to
New York and when he looked at
that piece of human 0riftwood. he
said: That isn't Nina"
They said: Yes. that h Nina as
sin has left her.
He said: Nina had the CLINT Of
gold in her hair. Nina had the blue
or The sky In her eyes. the pink OF
the roses In her cheeks and a voice
that was like the ripping waters"
and so they cared for her. They
combed her hair. dressed her and
nursed her back to health and
strength and then, n few week Las CT.
when he returned and when he looked
upon her. why. the CLINT of gold had
returned to her hair, and the oius
OF the sky was in her eyes. and the
pink of the roses was back In her
check. and her voice was like music,
and he took her in his arms and
look her. my friends, back to their
home and back to the mother. Sin
will leave It's mark. no matter who
you may be.
And then sins presume upon the
grace of God Now. the grace OF
God can do wonderful things When
