THE STORY.

THE boy was dead! In an agony of
i despair and grief the mother lifted
her face to heaven, but no word or
cry escaped her lips.
All that afternoon she had held the
little fellow and, hoping against hope,
she had watched the life ebb slowly
away, and when the last faint gasp
mad come and she felt the little form
lirlp and lifeless in her arms, and
knew that he was beyond all human
aid, she lifted n mute, agonized ap-
peal upward and then with bowed
head sat in the darkness and gloom
of her grief, hugging close the little
form whose coming a few years before
had brought such light and joy into
the home.
After the first shock Of the awful
grief had passed and the mother had
recovered her power to reason once
more she gradually became conscious
that she must do something. Precious
as the form of her boy was, she knew
that she could not continue to hold
him thus. But must she lay him
away forever? Had the joy and bless
ing of the little life come to her for
these few brief years only to be lost
forever? She could not have it so!
A feeling of rebellion arose in her
heart. How could God be good and
kind and then take away? Had the
prophet asked his God to send her a
son that he might inflict upon her
heart the agony of losing him again?
Why, if God cared, had He not sent
the prophet again in the hour of her
need and kept this sad thing from
coming upon her? And then she re-
called again how through the years
she had longed for a son and how that
blessing had come in response to the
in~tercession OF the prophet, who de-
sired to repay her for the kindness
she and her husband had shown
towards him.
She recalled how upon subsequent
visits Of the prophet he had spoken his
words of blessing upon the little fell
low and had ~counseled her regarding
his up-bringing. Over and over again
he had urged her to bring him up in
the fear and admonition Of the Lord,
pointing to the apostate condition Of
the nation and showing the countless
evils which had come because of the
goalessness Of the people. And all

Dorothy.

said the spirit. do you know, miss,
that you are the first little human girl
that eve came into Fairyland?"
No, | didn't, sir; but l know now"
Dorothy found herself seated on a
toadstool in front of a large violet leaf.

you like to see my house,"
Yes, sir, if it Is no bother" said
Dorothy.
DO you see these leaves?" asked
the spirit.
Yes" said Dorothy.
well, every one of them is the
home of a fairy, and that big one in
the middle is the Fairy Queens home,
and this is my home" said the spirit:

NO." said Dorothy; ut is too dark"
"Oh, l am forgetting that you are
not a fairy; we can see in the dark as

to call loudly: Bright, Light.

Sorrow and bereavement
which turn one to God have
performed a blessed ministry.
Faith that is not content to
rest until it comes into the very
presence Of the source of help
Is the faith which obtains.
Fortunate indeed Is he who In
the hour Of need knoWeth
whittier to turn for help. The
Shunammite had learned to
know the prophet of God before
the great borrow broke upon
her life, so that when 1t did
come she lost no time In reach
Ing his presence. So should it
be with US. We should become
acquainted with God now so
that in the day Of trouble we
shall know whittier to flee for
refuge and strength and help.
Bereavement Is gIorlfied by
submission and made victorious
through faith.
When the boy was dead the
broken-hearted mother took and
laid her boy on the prophets
bed, thus betokening not only
faith that tho prophet would
help In her need but submits
sion to the loss which had be-
fallen her. When we can take
u dead and give them up to
God, recognizing that he who
has given has right to take
away, then are we ready to
reach up in faith and receive
tho blessing which God would
give to IS through our grief.
It was a long, hard journey
to Mount Carmel, where the
prophet dweIt, but faith and
love never find any road too
long or too hard to travel.
It is the faith which cIings
and cries, "a will not leave
thee" which obtains the bless
ing.
The staff In the hands Of &C.
hazi was powerIess to bring life
into the dead body, but the
~throbbing life Of the prophet
stretched upon the cold body Of
the boy was the potent factor
which could bring from God tho
desired blessing. The mothers
faith was proved by her jour-
ney to Mount Carmel, and her
cIinging to the prophet until he
should come to her home. the
faith of the prophet was proved
by the surrender Of his dignity
and comfort and the getting
right down alongside the cole,
dead body, where he could give
of his life to the warming into
new life OF that dead boy. The
reason the servants Of God so
often fail in their ministry is
that they are content with long.
distance methods instead of
that heart to heart, face to face
contact which makes the cold,
Indifferent person feel the throb-
bling, loving interest of the
other, and thereby interprets to
that needy M what the love
and life Of God really are.
Jesus made the long, hard
journey from heaven to earth.
that He might lay His bruised
and bleeding body alongside the
body of the world dead in sin,
and thereby He called it into
life, a thing which all Gods SER
wants sent before Jesus came
into the world were unable to
do. Let this example of Jesus
which the act of Elisha so
forcibIy typifies stir US to like
endeavor.
