THE PRODIGAL SON

BENJAMIN F. GLADDEN

Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight,
and am more worthy to be called thy son.
But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe,
and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand,
and shoes on his feet:
For this my son was dead, and is alive again;
he was lost, and is found.

(Luke 15:21, 22,24)
