Innocents.

Jer. 11:34, 19:4.
INNOCENCY, Innocents, and Innocent occur nearly forty times in scripture. Children are often spoken of (in a comparative sense) as innocent; thus it was used in the article “God Knows” in the August number. The Editor had not forgotten what the Psalmist says, “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity,” &c., or the words in the Ephesians, “Children of wrath even as others.” Psalms 51, Ephesians 2:33Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. (Ephesians 2:3).
