These l«ilx.*s in Christ actually
become “ chilled “ and their young
life is dwarfed, perhaps crushed
out.forever. Then we hold them,
up to the world as examples of un­
stead fastness.— With more proprie.-
ty might they hold up those who
have the care of souls.
They are “ fallen from grace,”
says one. Well, it surely was not
much of a fall. If they had not
attained any of the graces they
surely did not fall iar. But the
words of the spirit are, “ If ye do
these things ye shall never fall.”
Then see that these “ children of
the kingdom ” grow and there will
be little likelihood of their falling.
