The gates ajar. By Elizabeth Stuart Phelps.

148 The Gates Ajar. "' But I never thought it was anything like that,' interrupted little Clo, presently, her cheeks flushed with excitement.'Why, I should like to go, if it is like that! I nevef supposed people talked, unless it was about converting people, and saying your prayers, and all that.' "Now, were n't those ideas* alluring and comforting for young girls in the blossom of warm human life? They were trying with all their little hearts to'be good,' too, some of them, and had all of them been to church and Sunday school all their lives. Never, never, if Jesus Christ had been Teacher and Preacher to them, would He have pictured their blessed endless years with Him in such bleak colors. They are not the hues of His Bible." * Facts
