IN his efforts to get an honest living
he said he knew he had been bad
enough, but it was because no one
had ever trusted him, and just as he
had found one man who was willing
to give him a trial, it aroused all his
worst passion to be turned out again
upon the wide world vagrant at the
door of ruin.
So Boy became one of US after that
we trusted him and he gave US an un-
divided service that money never
could repay. He did not become at
once a shining example of Christian
influences, and after taking him to
Sabbath School, and doing all we
could, We left him to Annie; she
taught him by flowers and stars, and
a child's happy theology, the way to
God, easier than we. with our doc
trines and explanations, could have
possibly done; and he repaid her by
long devotion during her years of
studied youth and hourly suffering
and it was on him the sweet eyes look
ed their last, as she pointed upward,
and passed away from our weeping
gaze to the endless summer of the
spirit land, there to complete her
beautiful, unfinished life. We have
no child now but the Boy on whom
our declining years rest, and who is
the comfort of our household, whom
once turned from our door; to re-
deem him was Annie's mission
where she laid down her work he took
it, and carries it on to completion
he is our Boy now.
