MY only consolation ON this subject is
that foreign capitalists are buying np the

into the hands of the people living on
the other side of the sea our political
parties will cease to be afraid of the

| bear down on YOU to-day with a
mighty comfort. Mary and Joseph
said, ''Where is our Jesus?" and you
say, ''Where is John? or where is
Henry? or where is George?" Well, I
should not wonder if YOU found him after
awhile. Where? In the same place
whore Joseph and Mary found their
boy-in the temple. What do mean
by that? [ mean. YOU do your duty
toward God and toward your child and YOU
will find him after while in the kingdom
of Christ. Will YOU saw, 81 do not have
anv way of influencing nv child?" Ian
swer you have the most tremendous line
of influence oDen right before YOU. AS
you write a letter, and there are two or
three routes by which it may go, bat you
want it to go the quickest route, and YOU
put on it, .svia Southampton" or ''via
San Francisco" or 'syia Marseilles. - put
on YOUR wishes about YOUR child, s'yia
the throne of God" How long will such
a good wish take to get to its destina-
ton? Not quite so long as the millionth
part of a second, / will prove it. The
y promise is, ssBefore they call will an
swer." That means at your first mo-
tion toward such prayerful exercise the
blessing will come, and if the prayer be
made at 10 o'clock at night it will be
answered five minutes before 10, BE
fore they call will answer"
Well, you say, l am clear discouraged
about my son, and / am getting on in
years, and fear will not live to see
him converted. Perhaps not. Neverthe-
less think you will find him in the tenn
pie, the heavenly temple. There has not
been an hour in. heaven the last 100
years when parents in glory had not had
announced to them the salvation OF
children whom they left i'll this world
prohigate. We often have to say, Il
forgot" but God has never yet once said,
Il forgot" 1t may be after the grass
of thirty summers have greened the top
of your grave that your son may be
found in the earthly temple. 1t may be
fifty years from now when some morn
ing the towers are chi ding the mathis
of the glorified in heaven that you shall
find him in the higher temple which has
''no need of candle or of sun, for the
Lord God and the Lamb are the light
thereof"
Cheer up. Christian father and mother!
Cheer uni Where Joseph and Mary
found their bov YOU will find yours-in
the temple. You see. God could not af-
ford to do otherwise. One of the things
| He has positively promised in the Bible
is that He will answer earnest and be-
lieying PRAYER. Failing to do that He
would wreck His own throne, and the
foundations of His palace would give
wav. and the bank of heaven would sus.
pend payment. and the dark word of ''re.
pudiation'' would be written across the
sky, and the eternal government would
be disbanded and God himself would be-
come an exile. Keep on with your
prayer, and YOU will vet find your chilC
in the temnln either the temnle here OF
