congeniality between her and her
husband. There is = great power for
good In the fitness Of peopie to ssso-
ciate together. Hearts to be united
must both drink from the same foun-
tain Of sweet water.
Between other tongues .'full Of
deadly poison" which 'ssetteth on fire
the nature Of man; and Is set on fire Of
hell" she was roasted for a want of
good faith In her hour Of temptation.
When mercy knocks for entrance
Satan would have us lock the door.
Whiskey was ready to add shame aud
degradation, and Thoughtless yielded
to the tempter that shackles reason.
The volcanic tyrant Of abuse cooled
down and left two desolate homes
helpless and wretched. At such times
friends are scarce, but carrion birds in
crease to feed on the unhappiness of
other people.
Four innocent children wandering
what had happened, while their little
hearts bled because of the absence Of
those they loved. Thanks be to God
they were too young to understand the
shame, and not too old to forget all, II
the dark cloud could be removed from
their vision.
1t may seem strange to some people
that faith In God would not loose its
power, and breaking away from all re-
straint decide to live in misery, nurs-
ing a bleeding heart, under such "a
pressure.
This was not the case with Stability.
The lash of degradation she felt as
everyone knows their own misery.
But other lives were involved as well
as her own, and souls were in jeopardy
Stability was christian; she loved
God and believed in his power and
never lost n battle, she defied the laws
death on her defiance and call her
fool.
She secured woman with a mothers
heart to care for her innocent and un-
children, and left home in
search of the two criminals who seemed
not to know their disgrace and un-
happy fate. 1t was stupendious task,
and nothing but the power of the Holy
Spirit can nerve the heart to attempt it.
What christian can fail to applaud
her, or condemn himself, If from fear
of human censure he is prevented from
the hand of help, and TAX
ing the message Of foregiveness to the
Outcast.
She found them in another state,
suffering because of their lawlessness.
Hope had faded from their hearts, but
intellectual conviction had asserted its
power. Like patient with burning
fever they were ready to accept a
Darkness comes with con-
viction because of sin, and must pre-
cede the power of saving faith.
Stability told them in words of
and Christ-like love of the
prayer for his murdefers. And
though they had tried to murder her,
and but for the grace of God they
would have succeeded, yet with Christ
she could say: "Father forgive them,
for they know not what they do"
Can anything more forceably reveal the
spirit Of the Master in his prayer and
when he said to the woman Ego, and
sin no more"
Is Stability heroine or fool? She
told Freakish that she had prayed for
and with her husband, and that the
Lord had opened his heart to receive
the Savior; that he WAS christian
and would receive her into his home
because of the children who cry and
wonder why mamma does not come.
These two families moved from their
old home into different states. Their
children have grown up respectable
men and women.
Politeness, fhoughtless and Freakish
died christians.
Was Thoughtless hero OF b fool?
Stability yet livesa bright star In the
glory of the faithful. In her home in
a western state, the borders of which
are kissed by the waters of the Pacific,
she Is honored and loved by all who
know her; and her children rise up
and, call her blessed.
The sequel is: Faith in Gods love,
mercy, omnipotence; omniscience and
omnipresence will win the victory for
those who love and serve Him.
