Q.-Does the religious wave over the country indicate anything, or is it a flash m the pan?" (Reader.)

 Jesus" but that it indicates that man.
 kind in general are longing after the
 higher and holier things. All honor
 to the noble men and women who are
 striving to better human conditions
 and who are sacrificing much in their
 effortsl However, the Lord in His
 Word the Bible, has pointed out 8
 more excellent way than all of the re-
 ligiOus and reformation movements
 combined. In the first place, the
 Scriptures foretell that the world will
 never be converted to Christianity un-
 til after the Lord Jesus second coming. (See the following Scriptures and note i carefully as they relate to the last days or the time Of the end;" Mat thew xXiy, 31-39 II Timothy iii, 1-5, l3; James Y, 1-5.) From these state 1 meuts of the Sacred Writers we see that the world will be far from being converted to Christ at His coming. and will have very little regard for the teachings of the Master Are not the facts in harmony with the Scripture prophecies? In spite of all the mis- 1 sionary efforts put forth. there are more than double the number Of | heathen in the world today than there l were century ago. according to the 1 latest compiled missionary statistics. l What are the conditions in Christen 1 dom, so- o-called? There are far more | bloodshed. wars, crimes, greed and l graft than in all the heather lands l combined, Christians may well pray ] Thy Kingdom come, fer that is the

How a Kind Boy Found His Father.

How a Kind Boy Found His Father.
 One hot day sailor who had but one leg was going along the road; his crutch broke, and he fell to the ground.
 He lay on the ground for a long while. wondering if anybody would be kind enough to give him ride.
 Soon after the sailor fell fast asleep. A big storm came up and the sailor slept on. for sailors when on board their ships, have to bear all sorts of weather.
 Soon after a boy coming home from school saw the poor sailor asleep on the ground and took off his coat to put over him.
 When the sailor awoke he saw the boy mending his crHtch that had broken when he fell. The sailor said;
 When l went to sea l left a little boy that would be about your age now, if he Is still alive. I hope if 1 ever find him that he will be as kind and good as you are"
 What is your sons name?" asked the boy. Thomas White; and my name is John White" said the sailor. The boy jumped for joy as he said: My dear father, 1 am Thomas White your own son." Then the boy asked his father to go ! to his uncle's house across the road, and the sailor lived happily all the rest | of his life. VERONICA ROCHELEAU, Age 10, North Franklin.

Two Fence Rails.

We once were large hickory trees and were very happy all alone in a forest until young man called Abe Lincoln came and cut us down.
 Then he made us into fence rails. We were very comfortable, but were happier as trees. Abe went away and we were left alone for several years.
 Then someone came and took us to a large hall in a city. A placard was put over us, saying These rails split by Abe Lincoln"
 Abe came in and looked at us for a long time. Then he said:
 T might have split those rails, but I could make better ones now"
 We heard someone say Abe was president. Myl but We were proud to think we had been split by the presi- dent even if he wasn't president when he split us.
