YOUNG NEW ZEALAND.
A friend gives a writer in Auckland paper an example of how the youth of Auckland are growing up in respect to moral and religious training. He was passing along a street when he saw several children come through a hole in a fence, laden with plums. He said, ‘ What have you been there ?’ ‘ Getting plums,’ was the frank response. ‘ But are they your plums.’ ‘ Oh, no ; they are ’s plums.’ ‘ Well, do you not know that you are stealing, and that it is wrong to steal ?’ One little girl, who acted 3,3 spokeswoman for the party, said, ‘ Perhaps we will be told that when we get into the third standard.’
