If the grown-ups of this town mani- j fested as much interest in religious . work according to their ages as com- ! pared to that of the little children, great would be the religious renaissance of this villa.

The contributions altogether amount to ?11.68. This is only a reminder of those words of tie bieosed Bible, "And a Little Child Shall Lead Them." i The Albert Hotel.
