A LESSON FOR MOTHERS.
Said the old man, my mother taught me
what a parents love is, and when / heard
Gods love was greater still, that meant
something ind 81. l remember when she
died" he continued. "She died in the early
morning, aud the woman who was nursing
her, when she saw she was going, took me
out OF my little bed. and carried me to her
for last kiss. did no! understand all /
was losing, else, msJbs, should not have
taken such a clear notice of what happened.
| heard the nurse tell afterwards that she
could not hear what Mrs. Orme said when
she saw her little boy. Bat heard and so
did God. She said. I'm leaving my darling
with you. my Father. Nobody bsside. But
Thou art enough. In Thee is al else. What
give Thee, Thou will no. lose. Whatever
be may want, Taou csust Supply"
"Ah," the old man used to add, the tears
standing in his ruddy cheeks, 'often and
often, when G cd has sent me good things
that never dreamed OF aiking, I've thought
that's all through Mothers prayers. What.
ever he may want Does anybody say my
mother left me unprovided for? l cay nc.
The legacy of tha. prayer was richer for
tune than thousands in the Bank of England
without it. Yol can't provide for your chi d
by any other means ia the world. You
may leave ii money, and land, and guar.
diars. And banks may break, and law suits
IA j, and death remove, and dishonesty cor.
rupt, until your child may have nothing lett
oot the disheartening feeling OF loss. Bat il
you put your child into Gods hands wneth-
er or no there is any thing else to put with IL.
He'll manage it all for the best. It's grand
thing that prayer will keep hold OF the body
any where. A boy may run away from home
and lose himself in the Australian bush. or
the American gold fields, or girl may fl lat
off in that terrible tide that rushes through
our great Cities bat they can't get away fro n
their cd mother while she kneels down at
her bedside and puts the Lord in mind of all
his presious promises. Prayer JOINS mortal
love with divine strength S.

eis natures. The ''remonstrants" had put
forth extra efforts, and had hired csnvassers
