SABBATH REFLECTIONS.
Had Doug been hardened criminal
at this juncture he would have leaped
upon his victims like panther and as
speedily completed his beinous work;
but he was not a hardened criminal
He had lived in the atmosphere of a
Christian home under the guidance of a
loving mother until he was sixteen
when in company with some very bad
boys. he turned away from his good
home, loving parents, and went chasing
a mad boyish dream out into the wicked
world. He had now spent four years
in the company of people who Turk in
the shadow; yet, he was not a hunted
criminal, nor had his career since leav-
ing home been such as would fit him
for the diabolical work before him. 1t
was the wLiskey which had been given
to him at well-chosen moment that
had pushed him to this dark extreme.

The effects of the whiskey had begun to
pass away and Doug was startled when
he saw the old lady's head and shoulders
rising in silhouette against the moonlit
curtain. With the knife still in his
hand he crouched slowly down behind
the foot of the bed over which spare
quilt had been hung. Then taking adj
vantage of the noise made by the wind
he succeeded in 1attening himself out
face down upon the floor in readiness to
slyly work himself under the edshould
the old lady decide to get up and inves
tigate.
Tom" said the old lady in husky
voice, Il do believe there is someone in
the room. :"
"Oh, pshawl Betsy, lay down and go
to sleep. 1t is only the wind in the
dead ivy vine at the window" Finally,
after pushing the curtain aside and
looking out, then calling to the kittie
to make sure that it had been put out
the old lady reluctantly dropped back
upon her pillow and becamequiet This
unexpected disturbance had so worked
on Doug's nerves as to counterfeit the
effects of the whiskey and to bring his
mental faculties back to normal. He
began to think What if some human
fiend with a knife in his hand and
murder in his heart was creeping toward
his sleeping mother at this moment.
That dear mother from whose teaching
he had strayed so far. He saw the little
room in the old home far away where
she taught him the Lords Prayer as he
knelt by the bed before retiring. He
felt her tucking the coverlets about him
and heard her soft goodnight" He
saw the vine-clad porch where she used
to sit on summer evenings and look out
over the fields. 1t was here that he
use to stand by her knee while she
would hold his hand in hers and teach
him the Golden Rule every word of
which he could now see written out in
burning gold upon the floor beneath his
eyes. Then in the twilight he would
drop his weary head in her lap and go
to sleep while her hand caressed his
tousled hair At that moment he felt
the touch of her hand upon his, so real
that it made him loosen his grip upon
the hilt of the deadly knife. With a

shudder and a quick move of his fingers
he pushed the knife from him. Then
the phantom touch returned and
to linger as if to lead him away.
Actually tear of repentance welled up
in his eye and rolled out on the carpet.
At this juncture his Conscience who
was on the alert to resume her duties
came tip-toeing back and made him
conscious of the enormity of the wrong
he was about to do. His Supplied
Reason revived and at once swung a
search light on the frightful conse-
quences of the crime he was on the verge
of committing. The search light paused
and frightened and there he saw him
self standing ON a gallows. The black
cap was drawn over his face. The
officer sprung the trap and he saw him
self strangling to death. Then he
heard his soul wailing in torment.
No! No! he would not do it. He could
not do it. All this flashed through his
mind in a moment. In what strange
place! and under what strange conditions
was this wandering boy convertedl
What he imbibed from the atmosphere
of Christian home in childhood, and
the early teachings of his mother had
come to his rescue. 1t was the phantom
touch of his mother hand that snatched
him back from the threshold of life
of crime. His heart was completely
changed. He right there and then
resolved to save these old people if pos
sible from the hands of these two CHOU
lish companions who were waiting in
the kitchen for him to come back and
report the way clear. He must act
quickly. While peering in beneath the
curtain while the old folks were retiring
Doug noticed that the old man locked
the sitting room door and left the key
sticking in the lock. He now crept
silently from the bed room into the
sitting room and reached the outside
door without any mishap. A dining
TOOU1 was DcbWCCu hiih liio AAo OOhh-
panions in the kitchen. He pressed his
felt hat over the lock to muffle the
grating of the key, which he slowly
turned then cautiously opened the door
and glided out into the wild April
night. STOPPING low, he crept quietly
around the house, paused beneath the
kitchen window and listened. He
could hear his two companions talking
in low tone. He heard one say,
Whats keeping that pious guy, Bill,
I'm afraid we will have that job to do
yet" The other replied. Give him
fifteen minutes yet" After hearing
this, Doug crept out into the road and
| went racing toward the nearest house
at the top of his speed.
