poor old soul, she has lived to cXpcri- .
ence what solomon said, "A foolish
son is heavincSs to his mother"
ON! what funeral 1T will Uc when
that boy is brought home dead! And
how mYthcT will sit there and say: lis
this my boy that l used to fondle and
that | walked the floor with in the
night when he was sick? is this the
boy that held to the baptlSmal font
for baptism? Is this the boy for whom
! toilcd until the blood burst from the
tips of my fingers, that he might have
Il good start and Il good home? Lord
why hast thou let me live to see THIS ?
Can 1T be that these swollen hands arc
the ones that used TO wander over my
face when rocking him to sleep? Can
1T he that this swollen brow is the one
mat ! once SO rap;urOuSly kissed ?
Poor boy, how tired hC does lO0N. |
wonder Wh" struck linn that bio "
across the temples? l wonder if nc
uttered a dA ing prayer? Wake up, my
son; doh't You hear me? wake up. Oh,
