Into the Fearful Whirlpool.—

By Editor

It was an awful spectacle to see two lads, nine and ten years old, on June 22, swallowed up by the great Niagara whirlpool. They were utterly beyond the power of man to help. They had been playing in a flat-bottom scow which broke loose from its moorings. Just a little before the end they shook hands, and braced themselves for the final plunge. Men and women looking on prayed and cried to no purpose. But, friends, there are thousands and thousands of boys as good and as brave rushing on to the far more fearful whirlpools of vice and sin. Yet we are not alarmed; and so many never call even for preventive measures, by which many might be saved. And the boys may be yours!
