Then. while Fairchild stood motion

we've got to face IT. Don't you
think that certain people would make
an investigation If we should happen
to quit the mine now?'
"The Rodaines I"
Exactly. And how much worse
would It be for them to tell the news

Nobody as to tell it," Harry was
staring at his carbide fiare-"there's

"But we can't take it, Harry. In
my fathers letter was the statement
that he made only one mistake-that

and in spite of what l find here, I'm
going to hold him innocent, and I'm
going to be fair and square and above

before him, and once more shielded
it with his big hand A step-two
then:
"Look-there-over by the foot
wallT
Fairchild forced his eyes in the di-
rection designated and stared intent
ly. At first it appeared only like a
succession of disJointed, broken
stones, lying in straggly fashion along
the footwall of the drift where it
widened into the stope, or upward
slant on the vein Then, it came forth
clearer, the thin outlines Of something
which clutched at the heart of Robert
Fairchild. which sickened him, which
caused him to fight down sudden,
panicky desire to shield his eyes and
to run-a heap of age-denuded bones,
the scraps of a miners costume still
clinging to them, the heavy shoes pro-
truding in comically tragic fashion
over bony feet a huddled, cramped
skeleton of human being
They could only stand and stare at
it-this reminder of a tragedy of a
quarter of a century agone. Their
lips refused to utter the words that
strove to travel past them; they were
two men dumb, dumb through a dis
covery which they had forced them
selves to face. through a fact which
they hoped against, each more or less
silently, yet felt sure must, sooner or
later, come before them. And now 1t
was here.
And this was the reason that TWEEN
ty years before, Thornton Fairchild,
white, grim, had sought the aid of
Harry and of Mother Howard This
was the reason that a woman had
played the part of a man, to all
appearances only one of three disap-
pointed miners seeking a new field.

and weak. I'm thinking the same

hard into the cramped, suffering face
of Robert Fairchild- that you were

In a Mothers Day. sermon last
Sunday morning at the Presby-
ter.an church, the Rev. Charles r.
Mexican, assistant pastor, spoke on
the topic, Mother, Home and
Heaven as follows:
One OF the worlds great ones
once said that the three greatest
words in the English language are
Mother, Home and Heaven" The
world has changed much since
then. The nation has become a
great empire and the population
has drifted to the cities, and the
hotel and apartment house have
taken the place Of the humble cot
tage with its lawn and garden plot,
but still the three greatest words
in the EnglishNtongue are these,
"Mother, Home Nand Heaven"
Our earliest impressions are got
ten in the home and especially do
they center around Mother. The
little babe soon knows the moth
er's touch and the mothers face
brings the first smile of recogni-
tlon. And day by day, step by
step through the formative period
OF life II is the mothers guiding
spirit that makes and moulds the
character.
1t is impossible this morning to
estimate the power of mothers
love. The devout Hannah goes to
the sanctuary and pleads with God
for son and when he is born she
dedicates him to God and the
mighty Samuel becomes the leader
of his people. The prayers of
Monica followed the wayward Au-
gustine through years of licenti-
BUSINESS and moral dereliction only
to bring him at last to the feet OF
the Christ and st. Augustine be.
came a tower OF strength for God
We are familiar with Lincoln's
words: "All that l am and all that
I hope to be owe to my ange'
mother" When James A. Garfield
was inaugurated as president OF
the United States he turned and
said to his mother: You brought
me to this" Back of every great
man there has been a good moth
er. A friend one time said to S. S
Prentice: 81 congratulate the
mother of such son." Rather. Il
said Prentice, congratulate the
son on having such a mother. -
Many reclaimed derelicts today
testify to the power of a mother
love and many others cannot get
away from a mothers prayers and
pleadings. For mother has firmly
twined herself around our hearts
Yes, mother is the uncrowned
queen of the universe today. And
may Gods blessing rest upon her
We have many modern things ir
the world. We take pride in beipf
up to date. Not many have tn,
courage to admit they are old
fashioned. But God forbid tha
the old fashioned mother shoult
ever pass away. II is a blessed
privilege to pause today and Will
deep devotion do her reverence
No dearer words pass our lips thar
these: MY Mother"

service of love and who may say
her nay? For by such service does
her love show itself.
Further, home is foretaste of
heaven itself. Heaven is where
love reigns, where Christ is the
crown of life. where His sacrifice
is the beauty of life. Truly home
is a foretaste of heaven, May
Gods blessing rest upon the homes
OF our land. May we catch His
spirit and pattern our homes here
on earth after His glorious home
in heaven.
