them good and kind like herself She
carried them to church in the fore

afternoon as regularly as the Sabbath

II rot, each child was taught a verse
from the Bible and a story from a
little book entitled FIRST steps ror
Little Feet in Gospel Paths"
Now Mrs Kelley was very poor. and
she was obliged to work for long
hours each day. Ray was the eldest
child. and a boy of fourteen. Es-
pecially one who was so delicate as
Ray could not easily find employ

obed!ent child had performed all of
her household duties. she and Cecil

the store Every morning before

dren's luncheon and dinner, but on
this particular morning she had felt
so poorly that she had. after many
persuasions consented to allow Nellie

noticed that more people than usual
were passing her. Their faces wore
excited expressions. Just then Cecil
shifted the air suspicdously and said.
Sister, lean smell smoke" II can

passed. and she inquired of them what
the trouble was, but everyone seemed
in a hurry and did not answer her.
Cecil shifted the air suspiciously and
said. Sister. + can smell smoke. ="

For her son, who is away.

The fond mother. and her son;
But she will trust her dear Savior,
For she knows, His will be done"
When one rsshs In early manhood.
He left his home for foreign shore
Without a, single moments warning,
To one he's to leave for every more.
One night as she .is thinking sadly.
or that awful parting day;
There's foot sound on the doorstep
Her son Is home. no more to stray
She gently folds him. to her bosom.
Takes his wandering hand once
more:
And praises God, who sent him TO her.
From the wild and foreign shore.
So now we see that. Mothers lowe. q,
Is surely always just the same;
And while we put our trust In Others,
She puts her trust in Gods own
name

Still she stands BY. and always near;

HER REDEMPTION

the chapel: let's go"
Ruby smiled TO herself. for none
of them know.she would sing and she
had not told them, as II was sur
prise.
She ran down to Louise, who was
standing in the corridor.
Are you going to church tompr-
row." she asked,
~ had not thought about it," an
swefed Louise. But II you wish to
go and want me along, why, mos as
suredly. III CO..
Thank you. dear" answered Ruby.
Wear white carnations. please" and
she ran to her room.
l. had long been a source of great
sorrow to this simple loving girl to
fine that Louise had not thought. Of
the things which were most sacred
TO her (Ruby). but only OF things like
what she should wear, or which way
she would look the best
Now Ruby thought she saw light
in the darkness, silver lining to her
cloud.
} Mkt day Ruby knocked at Louise's
door and went in at the invitation to
enter.
why, how nice you look" war
Louise's first words Ruby had on q
simple white dress with a black velvet
girdle, and wore three lovely carna-
i tons at herr waist. Her hat was a
plain Panama, with a band OF dark
blue and whise, which were the school
colors.
Thank you," she said. happily. II
am glad yoa think so. And you. on.
You are always so lovely and stately"
II was so Louise had been lovely,
but then she looked a great deal more
so, IN Panama hat with the school
colors like Ruhys, a lovely white wolfe
dress, and dark blue girdle. She car
ried a magnificent bunch of carna
tiors.
AS they entered the chapel many
eyes looked at them, tor Louise wa1
not often seen at the chapel. rhe
organ pea!ed forth its rich anthem.
AMI the glorious choir made tears
come into the eyes of many The ser
mon was heart-touching. and not
many eyes we're dry as the minister
ended 1t. Then Louise had been SO
quie. during the service Ruby had
been afraid TO look at cher for fear
she would see anger in her eyes
At the END OF the service the invi-
tation was given to come forward and
confess their sins while the invitation
hymn was sung by Miss Ruby Leslie
Ruby arose. and as she sang Tel
Mother I'll Be There" the earnest
minister was pleading:
For the sake Of those uncrowned
queens, our mothers won't you
promise to meet her? Won't you say
with the hymn tell mother I'll be
there?'" s4
\ Ruby, as she sang the last verse
looked imploringiy at Louise, anc
something il her face seemed to say
Yes" as she went toward the front!
There was great rejoicing on Rrby's
part, and much faltering on Louise's
part as she took the narrow pains
but though she will have many a SLIP
on the way, she Is, by her gentle and
winning ways, making more friends
now than she did before Ruby Leslie
became a student in Reechcoto Col
lege.
There are two great helpers for the
teachers and sources OF good in the
college now that were not there be-
fore. Who ere they? Well there Is
no need to ask that question, but
since you did they are Louise Bron-
ston and Ruby Leslie!
