answer my prayer in this and give me
the choice of my heart, would come
home some day worn out and tired and
lie quietly down, diseased and sick,
upon the bed in the family room and
there l would linger for week or ten
days under the kind administration of
my wife and children; would look upon
and enjoy their ministrations, and as the
days grew nigh and l should bid them
good bye should talk to my wife and
to each child. l would gather them
about me daily and encourage them to
love God and live for God and get home
to heaven; and on and on until the last
evening came, l would take my children
beginning at the eldest gather them
about me and say my parting word; and
when the doctors had turned their backs
upon me and said my case had swung
beyond them would spend my last mo-
ment talking to her who has been such
friend to me, and who has helped me
all my life. And then when the last
moments came, l would wade down
gently into the river of death, and when
the river should come up to my
shoulders would reach back and kiss
my wife and children goodbye and &C
home to God as happy as ever a good
boy went home from school, San

RIDING ON A SURF BOARD.

Hawaiian Beaches Afford Sport That
Is Not Known Elsewhere.
At Waikiki, near Honolulu, is a ia
nous bathing beach. Here winter and
summer the surf canoes, or, better yet,
the surf boards come dancing in on the
long rollers and men become amphfbi-
Gus.
There is no sensation quite cOmpar-
able to riding a surf board on Pacific
roller. 1t is tobogganing ON moving
hillside on single big ski. The beach
runs far out before it shelves into deep
water, and the breakers begin to
mount almost half mile, at high tide,
from the shore line. You go out there
with your surf board and wait for the
wave.
You learn to catch it at the right mo-
ment, throw your board inshore and
climb upon it just as the crest of the
roller mounts and catches you.
