saw one in a desolate home. Her merci-
less companion had pawned even the chill
dren's shoes tor rum. From honorable an
cestry she had come down TO this. The cruise
of oil was empty and the last candle gone
out. Her faded frock was patched with
fragments OF antique silk that she had worn
on the bright marriage day. Confident i'll
God, she had strong heart to which her
children ran when they trembled at the
staggering step and Quailed under a fathers
curse. Though the heavens were filled with
fierce wings and the thickets gnashed with
rage, RiZ pan watched faithfully day by day
and year after year, and wolf and cormorant
by her God-sJrenCthened arm were hurled
down the rock. You pass day by day along
streets where there are heroineS greater
than Joan OF Arc.
Now, ask il mere natural courage can do
so much, what may we not expect of women
who nave gaZed on the great sacrifice, and
who are urged forward by all the voices of
grace that sound from the Bible, and all the
noies of victory that speak from the sky?

the shipwrecked? That there are wounds
TO be healed and broken hearts to be bound

Abuse Not a Mothers Kindness.

What If she does sit without talking much;
she watches you for many months when you
knew not how to talk at all. What if she
has many ailments to tell about. During Is
years you ran to her with every little
scratch and Druise, and she doctored your
little finger as carefully as a surgeon would
bind the worst fracture. You say she is
childish now; l wonder if she ever saw you
when you were childish. You have no pa
thence to walk with her on the streets, she
moves so sIoS Wy. wonder Ii she remem-
Oers tile time when you were glad enoagh to
20 sloN u. You complain at the expense of
providing for her now. 1 wonder what your
financial income was from one year to ten
years age. Do not begrudge what you do
for the old folks. / care not how much you
did for them, they have done more for you
But from this weird text or the morning
that overpowers me. This watching by
RiZpah was an after-death watching.
wonder II now there is an after-death
watching? l think there is. There are
Rizpahs who have passed death, and who
are still watching. They look down from
their supernal and glorified state upon u.s.
and is not that an after-death watching?
Oh this tremendous thought of NV text
this afJer-deatn watching! What an uplift-
thought! Young mother, you who have lust
lost your babe and who feels the need of a
nearer solacc than that which comes from
ordinary sympathy, your mother knows all
about il And SO let US walk rs to be worthy
of the supernal companionships and IL to
sny of us life on earth is a hard grind let us
understand that if we watch faithfully and
trust FULLY our blessed LORD there will be q
corresponding reward in the Land of Peace.

The Power of Maternal Love.

Again, the scene of the text impresses
upon US the strength of maternal attach
ment. Not many men would have had
courage or endurance for the awful mission
OF Rizpah. To dare the rage of wild beasts
and sit from May to October unsheltet ed,
and to watch the corpses of unburied
children, WAS work that nothing but the
maternal heart could have accomplished.
1t needed more strength than to stand be-
fore opened batteries or to walk in calmness

There is no emotion so completely unsel-
fish as maternal affection. Conjugal love
expects the return of many kindnesses and
attentions. Fliial love expects parental
care or Is helped by the memory of past
watchfulness. But the strength OF moth
er's love is entirely independent of the past
and the future, and is, OF ali emotions, the

pust to earn kindness, ana in the future it
may grow mp to maltreat its parent; but still
from the mothers heart there goes forth
lncOnsumable affection. Abuse cannot Of

words it has gentle Guiding. for the blow it

Care in Sowing Seed.

The Importance OF care in the pre-.
