age, especially with poor mother so sick
and helpless, and oh! how different 1t
all might have been if only one of the

those three sons-unless mother and he
should be separated. But at last he fell
to comforting himself with the fact that
the dear Lord knew that it was thru no
fault of his own that mother and he
were threatened with the loss of their
dear little home, which meant beggary
and the aims house-a place they pray
ed to be delivered from entering, if it
should be consistent with Gods will
And then he quoted a multitude Of
promises concerning the safety of those
who put their trust in the Lord In
fact, il was the most thrilling plea TO
which ever listened. And at last he
prayed for Gods blessing on those who
were about to demand justice. The
lawyer then continued, more lowly than
ever: "And | believe I'd rather go TO
the poor house myself tonight than to
stain my heart and hands with the blood
of such prosecution as that"
Little afraid to defeat the old mans
prayer, eh?'
"Bless your soul, man, you couldn't
defeat i'll" said the lawyer. 81 tell you

Bible straight enough when was a

to that you tell me about. wish you
hadn't heard a word about it, and
another time wouldn't listen to petit
tons not intended for my ears"
The lawyer smiled.
"My dear fellow" he said, 'you are
wrong again. 1t was intended for my
ears, and yours, too; and God Almighty
intended it. My old mother used TO sing
about Gods moving in a mysterious
