ms MOTHERS LOVE
how One Young Man Was won %
Ways of Righteousness-Story
OF a Volunteer.


Charles Daggart was one of three
children. When he was a boy his
father deserted the family and was not
heard of again. All the care of the
children and the home fell upon the
mother. In addition to her sorrows
and burdens, she found herself very
poor. Every effort was made, every
energy strained to rear three lovely
little ones. Night and day she toiled,
growing steadier and calmer with the
struggle as her bitter memories reced-
ed, and as the living demanded greater
watchfulness and care.
The boy grew up hayward; with
curly hair, with bright, affectionate
ways, with many evil tendencies-how
like his fatheri Fear of his future
chilled, the mothers heart, and love of
the lad warmed it. She was like
thermometer, plunged now into cold,
now into hot water. 1t is a wonder
that her frail frame held together at
all.
The time came when it seemed that
she could endure the struggle and un-
certainty no longer. Charles began
TO stay out late; he evidently drank at
those times-not much, but enough to
portend future danger. At such crises
mothers love can do little but watch
and pray over her easily tempted boy.
No matter how late he came in, she
greeted him with kiss and tucked him
into bed as if he were still little child,
and then she said her prayers for-them
both as she always used to do.

good-by.
You'll write to me, dearP" she said,
at the last. She did not dare to ask him
rot to drink and associate with evil
men. He knew how she felt about
that.
Week after week went by, and no
letter came from her boy at Chicka-
manga. But one day she received let
ter from the first lieutenant of his
company, telling her to come quickly.
Charles was very i'll.
When she arrived he lay In the hos
pital stricken with death. Typhoid
fever, more fatal than Spanish bullets,
had done it's work. She bent over her
boy-the most errfng, the dearest, OF
her children-and her eyes question ed
him piteously:

But the lad was now too weak TO talk
much with her. He spoke but twice
afer this.

as was" he said, feebly. Just before
he died he whispered: Mother, you
loved me into being good" Who will
say that prayer and patience, tender

love are not worth the courage and the
effort that they cost.-Youth's Com

WOLF AND MAN FIGHT.
Whirling Process Adopted by Latter

Sam Vassar, a popular ranchman
near Goodland, Kan, had an adventure
with a wolf the other day which prob
ably would have ended seriously had it
not been for the ranchman's great
strength and nerve. Vassar was look
ing for strayed cattle on the range and
saw a wolf leave its den among the
rocks along the creek. He started for
the den to cut off the VOLTS retreat,
but the animal saw him, and in the race
for the den the man and the wolf ar
rived at the same time. As the wolf
was disappearing in its den Vassar
caught it by. the tail and after an eff.
fort dragged it into the open.
Vassar then commenced to turn on
his heel and swing the wolf in circle.

panion.

The new world is growing old. As
another century of its age is rounded
out, it is interesting to think of its be-
ginning. We date time from the birth
of Jesus Christ, as IL there had been no
years before He was born. The truth
is, there were many long centuries be-
fore that time-no one knows how
many. But somehow centuries with
out Christ do not count for much. The
years seem like long rows of ciphers
with no numeral preceding them to
give them value. At least, from tn
day Christ was born into this world
all things had a new meaning.
Perhaps we do not think often Of the
real significance of the abbrevia ton.
a. d., which we use continually in not
ing time. They tell us that the years
IN which we are living and all the years
that have passed since Jesus was born
are years of our Lord. They are years
of His stay in this world. The birth of
Jesus was indeed new beginning OF
time. From that day forward there
was something in this world that never
had been in il bfore. 1t was not mere.
ly new teaching, although mo man
ever spoke like this man." The words
of Jesus have been seeds of blessing in
all these nineteen cencuries. 1t was
not merely the life of a great man, like
other men whose names have i'm
mortal honor, whose influence is
imperishable. The birth of Jesus
Christ was the coming of God into this
world. We need not dogmatize, but
we all stand with uncovered head-be-
side the manger in the little town of
Bethlehem, for He who sleeps His first
sleep there is Emmanuel-God with us
That is why we write Ammo Domini in
all our dates. These are years of our
Lord. Whatever of good, beauty, glad
ness and hope there was in the cen
turtles before Jesus was born, it was in
deed new beginning of time when He
came.
We need not say that this was not
Gods world before Christ came. 1.-The
earth is the Lords and the fullness
thereof" Nor is it true that He was
not in it then. The Old Testament
tells Of Divine appearances. But they
were rare, and gave scarcely more
than glimpse of the ineffable pres
ence. They were Divine revealings.
but they were only flashes or CLEANS of
glory. We do well to reckon time from
the birth of Jesus Christ, for in His in.
carnation of all the fullness of the Di.
vine life was brought down among
mems. S. Times.

dwindled, until, as it tilted, the White

Scarcely had the crew deserted the i'm

on its side, carrying the Whitelaw
