VOICE OF CONSCIENCE DEAD

AU the Fault of Nurse That Small Giri Could Not Walk, in the Straight Path. Maria had been naughty and mother, seriously remonstrating with her, thought ’to press home a needed suggestion. f "I can’t think why you persist in doing wrong, my dear,” she said, solemnly. “It always makes us unhappy when we do wrong." “But—but I often don’t know It’s wrong tin I’ve done it,” sighed the small culprit. “But," mother urged again, “you should know, my darling. Your conscience will tell you if you listen." "What is my conscience and how will it tell me?" wide-eyed and eager. "Your conscience is the little voice Inside you that says ‘No!’ when you shouldn't do things and makes you feel sorry when you’ve made mistakes.” "Oh, then I’ll never be good!" mourned the troubled sinner. "I had a voice like that once, but nurse said it was indigestion and she gave ms some medicine and it died."
