CO.
HOW GOD DOES THINGS.
II see her little feet and legs fly as
she runs down the hot, dusty road, and
her mother must have seen her coming
mile away, and she ran to meet her
she was being paid Egyptian gold to
take care of her own baby. See how the
Lord does things Now you take this
child and nurse IL for me and 1 will pay
you your wages 1t was a joke on
Pharaoh's daughter, paying Moses mother
Tor doing what she wanted to do more
than anything else-nurse her own baby.
How quickly the mother was paid for
these long hours of anxiety and alarm
and grief, and II the angels know what Is
going on what a hilarious time there
must have been in Heaven when they
saw Moses and Miriam back at home,
under the protection of the daughter of
Pharaoh. l imagine she dropped on her
knees and poured out her heart to God,
Who had helped her so gloriously. She
must have said We'll, Lord / knew You
would help me. l knew You would take
care of my baby when l made the
ark and put him in 1t and put it in the
water, but 1 never dreamed that You
would put him back into my arms to take
care OF, so l would not have to work and
slave In the field and make brick and be
tortured almost to death by fear that the
soldiers of Pharaoh would find my baby
and kill him, 1 never thought You would
soften the stony heart of Pharaoh and
make him pay me for what / would
rather do than anything else in this
world. l expect to meet Moses mother
in Heaven, and l am going to ask her
how much old Pharaoh had to pay her
for that job. l think that's one of tho
best jokes, that old sinner having to pay
the mother to take care of her own baby.
But tell you, IL you give God a chance.
He will fill your heart to overhowing
Just give Him a chance.
A PLUcKY MOTHER.
This mother had remarkable pluck
Everything was against her, but she
would not give up Her heart never failed
She made as brave fight as any man
ever made at the sound of cannon or the
roar of musketry.
Shall / tell you where and when?
On the maps Of tbs, world you'll find It not
Twas fought by tho mothers OF men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
With sword or noble pen.
Nay not with the eloquent word or thought
From the mouths OF wonderful men.
But deep in the walled-up womans heart
But bravely, silently bore their part
Lo, there is the battlefield.
mo marshRllng troops no bivouac song,
NO banner to CLEAN and wave;
BIZ, qI' Oh these battles they last 50 long
From babyhood TO the grave"
Mothers are always brave when the
safety of their children is concerned
