CALLS SON AFTER 40 YEARS.
Mother Forgives Illinoisan Finally tot
Toinine Army and Summons Him.

Banished from his fathers homestead
for forty years because he enlisted as
a volunteer soldier in the Civil war in
defiance of his parents wishes. L. L.
Van Allen of Macon county, ILL.,, recently
received the long-lOoked for summons to
come back. There was no call from
the father. The aged parent had gone
to his grave still embittered against the
son. The mother, however, who secretly
longed for reconciliation in all the years
that passed after the parting in 1868,
finally wrote to her son to come home
and he gladly responded.
The family resided in Elmira, n Y,
when the war broke out and the mother
still lives there. When the war com
menced young Van Allen decided to join
a company Of volunteers that was be-
ing formed ct Elmira. His parents told
him he would be disinherited if he dis
obeyed the command not to enlist. He
joined the army, however, and after the
war came west and has since been a
resident Of central Illinois. He fought
his way unaided and now owns fine
farm and other property in Macon coun-
ty. This he will dispose of and will
live hereafter at Elmira. His mother
is 81 wears of age and wealthy.

but is association rather by contrast
than BY similarity that recalls these
words to my mind. For jeremiah when
he gave vent to this expression, did so in
all the grandeur Of his denunciatory
wrath The temple had been prepared
BY all manner of excess and abomina-
ton, the structure over which the God OF
Israel had yearningy spread his pro-
tective power, and In which had centered
for so long the hope Of this people, had
been converted into a. worse than
mockery, and yet blind to the proper use
OF such an institution the people still

lection. Had they not offered the regular

light forever burning; had they not to

that this God demanded in order that
