A MOTHERS GIFT-THE BIBLE
e Tim. 3: IA, 80


e Tim. 8; IA, 80
Remember, love, who gave the this,
When other days shall come;
When she who had the earliest kiss
Sleeps in her narrow home.
Remember, twas a mother gave
The gilt to Que she'd died to save.
Thy mother sought pledge of love,
The hottest for her SON
And from the gifts OF God above,
She chose this holy one;
She chose for her beloved boy
The source of light and life and joy.
l bid thee keep the gift, thai when
The parting hour shall come,
w. may have hope to meet again
In an eternal home.
Thy precious fnth ia this shall be
Sweet incense to my memory.
And should the scof-r in his pride
Laugh that fond faith to scorn,
And bid thee cast the pledge aside
That thou from youth hast borne
l bid thee pause and ask thy breast
If he or | have loved thee best.
A mothers blessing on her son
Goes with this holy thing.
The heart that would enjoy the one
Must to the other cling.
Remember It's no idle toy
A Mothers Gift, my darling boy.

Frank showed n perseyering spirit as
the weeks went by and became an
ardent student. In II way, too, he was
n help to Albert, for he could call on
him any time to find some references
or some decision bearing on n case in
hand.
1t was soon after Franks new depar-
ture in life that Alice received n letter
from her brother, and among other
things he wrote:
What was II you said to Frank the last

his visitor with hawk-like eyes.
"a very we'll told tale, Mr.. Terry"
he said at last. "a very well told tale
indeed! OF course you have retained

Eyes, we've kept 'em all, you may

"And why did you never make any

"Thc matter of expense is hard to

1T is said that those who hesitate are

would have picked up his hat and left
Frye to wash his hands with invisible

Ip"l HE effect of Albert Pages Wig
II orous efforts to attain success
@FS,SsSNi was not lost upon his friend
@gaSW Frank.
After their Christmas visit to Sand
gate Albert had applied himself dill
gently to the care of MIR. Nason's legal
needs. This brought him into contact
with other business men, and the fact
That John Mason employed him easily
secured for him other clients. In two
months he not only had Mr.. Nason's
affairs TO look after. but all his re-
naming time was taken up by others.
He Il spent several evenings at the
Nasons' home and found the family a
much more agreeable one than Frank
had led him to expect. Both that
young mans sisters were bright and
agreeable young ladies, and though Il
little affected, they treated him with
charming courtesy and extended to
him Il cordial invitation to have his
sister make them II visit.
Since the day lie had shaken his fist
ar the closed door of Mr.. Fryc's law of.
flee Albert had met that hawk nosed
lawyer twice and received only n chill.

tcmtible contract lie had tucitly allow.
cG Frye to consider rs made brought n
blush to his face every time he thought
of 1t, hut he kept his w counsel
OnCC OF twice he had been on the point
of telling Frank the whole story, but
had rcfrainCd.
In his intimate relations with John
Mason he saw enough to satisfy himself
that i'ryc's ~insinuatiCn against that
busy mans character was entirely
false. Mr.. Mason seldom spent an
evening away from his llo:le, and when
he did it was to attcad tho ~tlicatcr with
his family.
After their visit To Sundgntc Frank
and himself naturally driftcd into more
intimate relations, and II day seldom
passed that Frank did net step into his
Office for Il chat.
