again to Katie.
And now she believed this was the
Lords time, and knowing that He ever
usesinstTumcnts to accomplish Hispur-

an instrument to bring about a recon-
Citation between this father and
daughter. She clasped Der hands in
prayer and said: lord, help me" and
felt as sure He would do so, as the little
child who goes to its earthly parent
asking help.
She tapped little call-bell, and her
one woman servant brought in light,
"Hand me my WFiting-desk, Mary.
There, that is all I want tonight. Thank
you" and the servant withdrew.
She wrote 2 letter and addressed it. 1t
was to Mrs. DR.. Wellman, asking her to
come with her two little children
as soon as possible and stay uH-
til after Thanksgiving day with
her. She also wanted the doctor 10
come on that day, too, and earlier, if
he thought it prudent to leave his pa
tients, he would know best. Having
thus arranged things to her own sat
isfaction, she drew forth her Bible and
lead again the precious promises that
had so long fortified her for life OF
faith and works, after which she lnelt
down and committed all to the Lord.
Then, retiring to rest, she slept as
soundly as an infant might in its low
ing mothers arms.
With the early mornings dawn Mrs.
Morton arose and felt refreshed. Al
though several years before, the grave
had claimed the loved husband of her
youth and her two beautiful children,
yet she felt that but a little while at the
longest and she would be with them, to
know no more parting.
Quite early she posted her letter, and
Dn her way home called in at Farmer
Granville's; for now having undertaken
the work of reconciliation, she bent
every thought and purpose of her heart
to accomplish it. The family were dis
cussing the merits of the breakfast
table, and Aunty Morton, always a well
come guest, was ushered directly into
their presence. They were also dis
cussing the approaching Thanksgiving
dinner which had been celebrated from
timeimmemCrjal at the Granville home
stead. Mrs. Granville was urging its
discontinuance the present year on ac-
count of her health having failed so
as to render her unable to
the necessary prepare
tions. Farmer Granville was unwilling
to forsake the old-time custom even
for one year, and now that Mrs. Nor
ton had come in the idea at once pre-
scented itself to secure her services to
fill his wife's place. in which the dear

There was much work to be done; for
out-of-the-way inches were to be con-

closets were to be looked through and
renovated, and the pantry and larder
to be replenished, all of which Aunty
Morton entered into with spirit and
impressment. Several hours each day

After a few days, when Aunty Morton
came to facilitate the arrangements,
she brought with her the brightest
and dearest little boy the Granville

kissed him to her hearts content. Mrs.

"Thls is Franhe's grandpapa," said
the little boy, just as his mother had
always said to him when abe showed
him the picture; and he ran mis- fingers
more vigorously through the lo1g,
thick beard, and passed them lovingly
through the wrinkles about the eyes
aud mouth.
Things were progressing just as
Aunty Morton wished, so the next day
she brought the baby over, a sweet
eurly-headed little girl of two years.
The baby was double JOY in the Gran
Vile family, and when she kissed
"dranpapa" after Frankie's prompting,
the pride and qualification of Farmer
Granville was without limit, who IN re-
turn tossed her toward the ceiling, and
allowed her to pull his whiskers and
cover his eyes to play "bopeep" as much
as she liked.
Thanksgiving was drawing so near,
and the worry of hope deferred worked
Mrs. Dr.. Wellman into a severe head
ache, which lasted over the following
day. So recommending her to keep
quiet, and giving many instructions to
her servant, Mrs. Morton took the two
children with her to complete the ar

ipates the result. Farmer Granville
took his daughter in his arms and
pressed her to his heart, weeping like

sooner than he.

A missionary Of the Basel society in
tzdia gives an account Of a lad Is year;
IF age, named Velayuthan. whose
father sought to take him away from
tie Christians whom ne had joined.
The lad stoed firmly. but efforts to
shake MS resolution were continued.
In the middle Of July mis- mother
came and told her son, with many
tears. That his father was dangerously
81 and wish TO see him once more be-
fore his death. This message melted
the heart Of Velayuthan, and, wishing
70 see his father, he was permitted To
EeconpaDy Us on our tour How glad
he was in the anticipation Of seeing
his parents and brothers and sisters
So his face clearly indicated. We
heerono so7nd as we entered the com
pound, the door Of the house was ajar,
and Velayuthan's father, who was
lying on q mat behind the door, was
beard grooming as If with great pain.
His son rushed into the house, stopped
down upon his father and asked him
how he was.
All of sudden the seemingly dying
man jumped up, clasped his son in his
arms and dragged him into an inner
room, trying to fasten the door, rails
ing at the same time such howl that
felt quite stunned. When the mis-
sionary tried to prevent the door being
shut the father brandishing his long
knife, wounded his arm and forced him
to let the door go. The bowling
ceased for few seconds and a voice
was beard screaming in piercing
accents, Don't kill himl Don't kill
himF We shaddered. and feared the
worst But a few moments afterward
there was shout, "He is gomez and
the lad was seen running like a
chased deer across the compound, fol-
lowed by his enemies, his mortal fright
giving him strength to leap the hedges.
In few minutes he had reached the
missionary's house and was safe.
We learned afterward that Velayu-
than's father, when he had his son in
his power inside the room, had uttered
same threats which made the lad fear
that he was about to be killed. Filled
with apprehension, he inwardly called
upon the Lord for help, when suddenly
he saw an opening below the wall
plate and escaped thereby. The father,
who now feared we should bring an
action against him, made two deep
gashes across his chest with his knife,
ran to the magistrate, and accused us
of having broken into his house and
wounded him. Bat the magistrate
asked some trustworthy witnesses
and rejected the complaint. Next day
the mother aud brother of Velayuthan
came to ask our pardon. and told US
that his father, after his return from
the magistrate, had kindled a fire,
taken his idols and thrown them into
the fire, with the words: you did
not help me- you may burn, Parish
Visitor.
