Perhaps she had had a bshv OF

heart and made 1t bleed afresh. But
never mind about that, she was a
woman and she had woman 's

while back she comes, leading her
mother by the hand. And pharoah's
daughter took the little fellow out OF
the ark and handed him over 10 his
own mother although sc did not
know 1t, and as she did it. she said
in tho words OF my text, you take
this child and nurse It for me-"
And she was being paid Egyptian
money TO do what her heart yearneL
above all things to do nurse and
hug and kiss her own baby.
How quickly tho mother was paid
for all the hours OF anxiety and
alarm and grief. think God gave
her special dispensation and grace
to keep her from dying from joy;
and II tho angels were on earth how
hilarious they must have been to see
Moses in his mothers arms hiking
home. and SO the mother would
have to go OUT to work no more.

she drops on her knees and pours
out her heart to God, for he had
heard her. She knew the Lord
would hear her and take care OF her
baby when she put him in the ark,
but folks, l do not believe she ever
dreamed that her baby would ever
be put back into her arms TO care
for, and she' be taken out of tho
fields where she would not have TO
slave, nor be half frightened to
death for fear somebody had found
the baby and had killed It. and the
stony hearted Pharoah would pay
her.
I am going TO Heaven some day,

am going up TO her and say,
How much gold did old Pharoah
pay you for nursing your own baby2,

Mother Il Brave.
Now I have learned some lesson6
and here Is ono OF them. First, a
mother is remarkably plucky. Every
thing may be against her but she
would not give up. her heart never
fails.
The bravest battle that ever was
fought!
Shall l tell you where and when?
On the maps OF the world you will
find IL not.
Twas fought by the mothers of
men.
Nay, not with cannon or battle shot,
with sword or noble pen:
Nay, not with eloquent words or
thought,
From mouths OF wonderful men
But deep in a walled-up woman's
heart
or a woman that would not yield,
But bravely, silently bore her part,
SO, there is that battlefield.
No marshaling troops, no bivouac
song,
No banner TO gleam and wave,
But, oh, those battles they last so |
long
From babyhood 10 the grave.
Tho ~ other is alWaNS brave when |
the safety OF her children is con-
sv. ned, and / would stand up more |
