not seen you for year, and somehow it took all

The early morning train bore John
Williams on and on, through the hours
of the forenoon. nearer and nearer the
old place; and then, getting off at the
little station, he walked two miles
along the old familiar roadway, and to
the little brown farmhouse, and then
through the low gateway and along the
walk, and as his mother heard his we'll
known step upon the porch she ran to
meet him at the door.
Then there was the joy of meeting
the father, the relatives and friends,
young and old, gathered at the old
homestead for the great family festival
of the year. Then the delightful meal
prolonged until late in the day, and the
happy evening around the hearthstone.
That night John Williams slept once
more in the little, 1ow-roofed chamber
of his boyhood; and as he dreamed the
ambitions and hopes of his pure and
innocent youth came back to him and
stayed with him ever after, and though
in later years evil visions and false
hopes and ambitions might assail him,
they never gained power over him
again. Amid the care and responsible
ity of an upright business life he often
looked back with thankfulness to the
night he was saved from a downward
course by his mothers Thanksgiving

Union
