DEVASTATION

What a pity it is to see a garden given over to a herd of swine

that tear up the beds, trample on the seeds, wallow among the

flowers, spoil the fruits! This is the spectacle that is offered

our eyes every day by that beautiful and divine garden of

Youth when it is occupied, devastated, pillaged, by the lower

instincts, the coarser appetites.--CHARLES WAGNER, “The

Gospel of Life.”
