They try to live as if there were no

The Love Of Mother and Son.

Who has not witnessed the unfailinI
and uncOnqucrable strength of Il moth
er's love for the son of her heart and
her VOWS, clcaving to its object through
prosperity and adversely, through hon
or and through shame, with Il tenacity
that never relaXes, and with consistency
that never waivers until the last pulse
of life is hushed in death ? And what
son, especially after the uShtlessness
of youth has given place to the retlec-
ton of maturcr years, and bitter eX-
perience has taught him the incincerity
and seltishncss of the world-what son
has not turned back and fingered, with
the most grateful emotions, over the
pleasing memories of mothers care
-pOndered with the most heartfelt adj
miratiOn over the deep, pure, and I'M
dying nature of il mothers love-real-
lied more and more the priceless value
of sentiment so fraught with moral
beauty, so exalted, so proof against all
those considerations of self, those tempt
atiOns of interest, before which all
other ties are seen to give way ; and,
while thus realizing, found his yearning
bosom Oftener and Oftcner prompting
him to cXclaim with the poet
''Where'er l roam. whatever realms see,
My heart untraveled fondly turns to thee"
Such Il mother, reader, and she made
us all we are-such IL mother was once
ours and scarce Il day of our life pass
es, in which we do not find our atten-
ton arrested by the power of that tic
still pulling away in our bosom, and
causing our heart to gush with its no
liest incense to her memory.

Never Give Up.

Successes are often born of failures.
When Lord Baconsfield made his first
speech before Parliament and was Missed
for his failure, he gained courage and Il
persistency that did much to make him
win. Curran, the famous Irish orator,
trembled at his first speech before Il
small company, and became panic
stricken and dumb. Months afterwards
he charmed all with his eloquence.
Thackery carried his ''Vanity Fair to
nearly score of publishers before it
was accepted. He used to say laughing
", that it was amusing how little he
earned when in his early days he wrote
carefully, and how much he received for
work when he had acquired a name.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" was declined
again and again, till finally it was pub
lished by John p. Jewett, at the earnest
solicitation of his wife. Tom Hoods
"SOng of the Shirt" was thrown into the
waste-basllet. Will Cartoons cover

same fate. The Fools Errandn was
refused by many publisher. Nosuc-
cess has ever come without repeated

Christ Carries the Keys.
REVELATION /. IL.

John was overwhelmed with terror
when he hehcld the dazzling glory of
one like unto the Son of Man, on the
isle that is called PatmOs. ''And, when
| saw him. fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me,
saving unto me, Fear not | am the
first and the last | am the living one,
and became dead and behold, | am
living unto the ages of ages and have
the keys of death and hell"
How blessed it is to see that our Ed
or Brother, who passed triumphantly
through the dark realms of death, has
absolute control of the bodies and souls
of His people As Il victorious war
rior who has stormcd and captured II
citadel receives the keys in token of
surrender. so Christ is the cOnqueror of
death and hell and the two strong
holds of the enemy that seemed to us
invinciblc, are now entirely subject to
His imperial command.
Let the afflicted Christian, who wea-
rily walks in the shadow of great and
abiding sorrow. take comfort i'll the
thought that the beloved one, whose
long absence makes home so dcsOlate,
could not have gone down into the
grave except at the bidding of the risen
Jesus. Butt holds the keys of death,
and nothing shall disturb the slumbcr-
er there until the shout of the returning
Jesus is heard, calling those who sleep
in Him to meet their Lord in the air.
Let the douhting and timid Christian
know that his soul cannot descend into
the prison house of despair, because
the hand that was nailed to the cross
holds its keys. He has locked the gates
of hell behind you, believer, and it is
impossible for yOu to enter the gloomy
portals. while He that shuttcth and no
man opcncth, Rcv. iii. y sits upon
the throne John saw many wonderful
and awful visions after he heard the
words of Jesus, but he never feared
again. Can those who are saved pre-
ciscly in the same way John was saved
trcmblc ut the thought of death and
hell. when they know that Christ car
ries the keys ? The Truth.
