THAT PATHETIC APPEAL.
By Julia Sullivan.

Having read the article in your
last issue of the mother who seeks to
reach her hayward son thru the col
umns of your paper, we are moved to
pity and realize the truth of the ia
miliar saying that zone touch of ma
ture makes the whole world kim"
We realize her terrible sorrow and
worry, and his folly is not seeing that
by his errors he is wasting inch by
inch the peace and happiness of his
best friend in this world-his mother.
In those four lines a great sorrow
is revealed, as an artist by few
strokes of his brush sets a picture
before your eyes with such fidelity
that in supplying the details one can
not make a mistake. She does not
veil her sorrow--this mother-in the
least, and by this we have reason to
believe the door of her heart and her
home stand open wide, having in
neither anything she would hide
from the world. She says, "You may
stay and work or come home as you
choose" and then the heart-rending
plea, "oh, son, write to mother"
We seem to see the life of the writ
er before us. We seem to hear the
first fervent prayers for her boys
return ascending in the dewy sweet
ness OF the hope of their immediate
answer: then the WEAKNESS and the
anguish of that hope deferred, the
slow, dull sickening OF heart as day
crawls after weary day.
Dear reader, can you not see It all?
Can you not see this mother watch
ing, listening for the foot-step that
does not sound, anxiously waiting for
the letter, that probably has not yet

been written? Can you not detect
that high note of faith in her boy,
when at night she leaves the outer
door unfastened; 80 that no matter
whether he comes in daylight or
darkness he will find his home
open and welcome for him.
And then the night prayers-oh!
the long, long night prayers!--when
kneeling in the dim light, hands
clasped convulsively, tears in her
eyes as from aching heart to CULVER
ing lips rises that one prayer, Lord,
send my wandering son home to
me-" Then the waking from the
fitful slumber, the one prayer rising
instantly and spontaneously to her
lips.
And this is life for her day after
day till she hears from her boy. Alas,
how many mothers there are who
thus beat their hands against heav-
ems gate in vain. Such things s
this we cannot understand. The mys-
terry of Gods silence here is beyond
us and it beats in on those mother
hearts like hail of fire. Someone
has said,and truhtfully that the great
est joys of life are given in mother
hood, it is also true of life's great
est sorrows.
Always we find our thoughts turn
ing to the son and we wonder of
what is the heart made that he can
look upon his mother whose sands
of life are running swiftly away in
worry for him and make no effort
to redeem himself if only for her
sake. How came that poverty to
Nature, that in fashioning him all
the finer, more responsive qualities
were left out? And what will that
son answer, when he stands con-
fronted by all those mother pray
ers and heartaches and finds the
time to respond to them is past.
Though this mother may be a
stranger to you, dear reader, think
of her and the many like her when
you kneel to pray. land if such boy
comes your way, see that you do not
take him in till he shows some will
lingness to write to the deserted
mother. typist)
Now word to the son. That is a
wonderful thing, my boy,-a moth
er's love-other folks will love you
when you are good, but only your
mother will love you always. She
forgiyes when others blame; she I'M
derstands you and the only time she
will ever mistreat you is when she
dies and leaves you with that aching
void in your heart, which will never,
never be filled until you meet her
on the other shore. Listen, boy,-do
not ever disregard the warning God
gives you through His silent monitor
in the soul.
1t whispers in your ear that your
dear mothers heart is waiting weari-
ly for your message of love and cheer.
1t tells you that no other pen but
yours can respond to her appeal.
Heed it quickly: write that letter
today that Gods blessing may not
longer be withheld from you.
