The mother brought her infant into the
room to show him to some of her friends
who were visiting her. She calls him her
little missionary.
The grandmother, who is particularly
attached to the child, began playing with
him, and says, "Before great while

this boy will make the senate Gambler

I hope you will lbe minister plenipotentiary

took up the word-"A minister, hope to
a higher court" The old lady continued;
II hope you will be 10 earthly minister or
preacher" "No,' says the mother, "a
very heavenly minded one, hope" The
Grandmother, still playing with the infant,
says;-"Soon these little hands will be ex-

Time only can show whether the conf

one question to ask mothers, after reading
the above. When you stand with your

There is often, in men who are terrified

of trusting in their own righteousness for
another, which is less obvious. Very often

it is no real submission, but arises from
