street.
He went on for months and he was
regular in his service and testimony.
Finally he said to me one day, bill,
give me my money"
| dismissed him from my mind and
one beautiful morning in June, 1893,
during the Worlds Fair he walked
into the Y. NJ G. A., dressed in the
height of fashion. l almost jumped
over the counter, grabbed him by
the hand and l said. Frank, how are
your"
How did you recognize me?"
81 haven't forgotten your face" l
said; by the way, Frank, did you
ever find your mother?"
He smiled and he said, eyes, she's
across the street in the >Brevort
house." the name of a hotel on Mad
ison street. And he says, shes sick
with consumption. l am taking her
to California"
Can Die
Happy
Sir, three months later in Pasadena
she called him to her bedside, she
slipped her transparent arms around
his neck, she whispered, Goodbye,
my boy, l can die happy now because
know you are Christian"

way to Boston to bury her in the

stoop down in the Quagmires of filth,
take a man out and put new song
! in his mouth, send him up and down

with the sunshine and glory. 1t is a
great salvation, for it saves US from
great sin.
How shall we escape If we neglect
so great salvation?"

the bath tub, by cooky, clean shirt
or cup of coffee or a sinker. The
way to heaven is blood-stained way
| by repentance and faith in the shed
blood of Jesus Christ.
