 STORY OF TOM
 .Let me close with one of the finest stories I ever read: Tom the son or a wealthy father, was off at college when business reverses caused ms father to make an assignment. Then Ton, came home, took his dinner pail and worked like a hero. All the smart set failed to recognize him then, save Miss Mary. one or his school mates. She smiled on him every time she saw him. At last Tom purchased large plant. hired hands and built Ill. an immense trade Miss Mary married fine fellow whom Tom employed as one of his right-hand men. Afterward Tom married a splendid young woman and grew, richer and riched. To Mary and her husband was born sweet lil- tie girl. As she grew they gave her a splendid education. To Tom and ms wife there was born glorious boy, whom he trained and educated to suit him Mary's husband died. This left a vacancy and Toms superb son took his place, and also took to wife tue fine and promising daughter of Mary the widow. They worked together Tn their church They worked together for the poor and good schools, and Tor took over his fathers businesA and made that town an ideal one rom d religious viewpoint, and in all CO., operative standpoints a repetition Vi Boaz and his workers"
