Children whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy, happy hand.
How loudly they sang it. and when I
Iht-y cane t.V the line. "Sinning
'Glory, glory, glory!" well, the cap
tain had to smile, such tremendous
energy did they put into it.
Little Alice's voice piped high and
clear above the rest. She was poor
ly but cleanly clad. At heart she
was a little lady. Even in her pov
erty garments Alice looked a dear
little Cinderella. She was as straight
as a lily, and as graceful of move
ment as a little princes.
"Perhaps Alice will sing the sec
ond verae by herself." said the cap
tain, smiling." Come on, little heart"
she said oaxinglr.
The child's lily-like face flushed
a :osy red. Not without a tremor,
she began, gaining strength, how
ever, with every word:
In flowing roDes ;of potless white.
See every one arrayed, :
Dwelling in everlasting light.
And joys that never fade.

There was a sweetness in the song
which the captain had never realised
before, and. acting upon swift im
pulse, she said, ''Shall we have a
little march tonight, children?"
"Oh, yes, captain, yes!" they cried
joyfully. !
Now, it is not a custom to march
children through the slums in this
way; but tonight was an exception
to the rule. So. with a flag, a con
certina and a timbrel, the strange,
sad little procession of rag-tag chil
dren parsed out of the tinv hall into
the street. How lustily the bullet
headed boys sang! The girls, too.
inarched along as though walking
on air, awaken'ed the echoes. While
they marched and sane, tousled
heads looked, out from high windows
and untidy women and unkempt men
came from the court pn and
out through the doorways, for the

fome of the women were remin
ded of all but forTotten days, and
when the ragamuffin procession had
got out of earshot they went Indoors
with the old song humming through
their minds.
In fron; of the "Bull and Gate' the
captain marched her little singing
crmtingent round and' round, and
then went straight for the open door
of the saloon, which was half full
of men and women. The procession
was brought to a halt within a few
yards of the now crowded doorway.
For a moment the captain was lost
for an idea, when little Alice, look
ing wistfully up into her fare, with
those wonderful eves of hrs. said:
"Please. Captain, may I sing my lit
tle song?"
The child was very white, and she
was ttembiin?) yet strangely enough
she wanted to sing.
"Yes. dear.- said the Captain,
breaking one of her own rules for
once.
There, in sight.' of gome of the
worst men and wwmen of th dis
trict, little Alice stood forth, the
clear notes of her- son!? reaching all
ithin the notorious tavern:

Thousands of children stand

At the sound cf the voice, the
bloatM faros ofa'man and woman
peered furtively through the fcauze
window lilind.
Alice, with her face now lit up
ith an ethereal light, continued her
solo:
On earth they sought the Saviour's
grace. .
On earth they loved lllz name;
So now they see His blessej face.
And stand before the Lamb.
The woman behind th gr ute win
dow-blind, leaned her h1rchy face
upon her dirty, bare anu and began
to sob. The man swo: j a civat oath.
which broke half way into a groan.
