THE PRODIGAL GIRL.
We all have a heart for the prodigaboy Who was caught in sin’s mad whirl, And we welcome h»m bark with songs of joy; But what of the prodigal girl For the prodigal boy there’s an open door, And a father’s bounteous fare, And though he is wretched, sick, and poor, He is sure of a welcome there. But what of the giri who has gone astray. Who has lost in the battle with sin? Say, do we forgive in the same sweet way We’ve always forgiven him? 1 Hies the door stand ajar, as if to say, "Come, enter, you need not fear; I’ve lieen open thus since you went away, Now close to the second year?” t) Christ! it seems we have never learned The lesson taught in the sand, For even yet is the woman spumed, And stoned in a Christian land. We all have a heart for the prodigal boy, Who was caught In sin’s mad whirl, And we welcome him hack with songs of joy: And what of the prodigal girl?
