Yes, children, the mother is the last
to give up her child, through evil ie

always in her iteurt.
And does not the blessed Savior
show the same patience ami love to us
all, His children, for whom He died ?
Does he not wait "vet this year," that
iliey may bring forth fruit ? He inter
cedes for us, sends blessings ami mer
cies and trials, all to Ming us back to
Him. He will not let us go until we
prove wholly recreant. Let us play
