The Lost Charley Found.

Some eight years ago Charles Smith
left his home in this place for the
wild and woody" west. After being
absent about two years and his mother,
Mrs. J. S. Smith, not hearing from him,
she naturally thought some harm had
befallen her son and that his earthly
career had been ended yet she hoped
for the best and asked n congregation
Of one of our churches to pray that IL
her son still lived that he might return
to the mother that loved him so we'll
Public prayer was made and yet the
years passed by without any word from
Charley, and his mother finally gave up
all hope and mourned for him as dead.
Charley, who was sOjOurning in Mexico
and British Columbia, is still living and
his mother has heard from him recently.
