WATCHING THE BABY.

1  

WHAT can be prettier than a little baby asleep? We forget that it ever cries, or keeps awake at night, or tires our arms with its weight, and only admire the calm sweet face, with sometimes a smile flitting over it, and are almost impatient for the pretty eyes to open. The children in the picture look very lovingly at the occupant of the cradle. Although it looks so innocent now, if it should live it will certainly show angry temper and want its own way. This is because all children have sinful natures, and they need new hearts and right spirits, so that they may become Christians.
