counted for nothing, soom of ot be

eenaattou, provoked by eonsdsaor.
Ho mellow, it doesn't teem as if la tbs

the Mft answer had not been offered
orutu enough, sad as if tbs year itself
had been one lu which there wars fsw

row, there a Sin; hem s weakness,
there a worry, but only a fsw, a fow of

Kings. Taka a bead glass and look at
yourself. You ere Ilka must other

haven’t on earn It ted murder, or been
guilty of theft, or dons any of those
dreadful things that all tba world calls
slut. No, you ere not a murderess,
nor a thief. Perhaps, though yoo are
just as guilty. Perhaps that one who
killed his brother saocnmbed to a
momentary temptation, and commit
ted the one awful act. But there are
many ways of killing beside murdering
tbo (lash. Have you. by word or
omuUi. murdered the faith lu any
human sonl? Killed In any young soul
its belief, either In God or mao? That
ia worse Uan material murder.
