STRUCK FROM HIS
MOTHERS COFFIN
BY Rev. G. D. Coleman


Il want to see my mother" Sob
bed a poor boy, as the undertaken
screwed down the lid of coffin.
You can't! Get out of the way
boy! Somebody take the brat
away"
"Only let me see her a minute,
only once MORE" cried the orphan.
AS the boy clung to him in his
anguish, the mans anger rose, and
he quickly and brutally struck the
boy.
when l am man l will kill you
for that" shrieked the now frantic
and outraged child.
Years passed by. The boy nur-
tured his wrong, and did not forget
it, 1t rankled and festered in his
bosom and blackened and stained
his soul
At the age of sixteen years he fell
under Christian influence, and the
Spirit of God spoke to him. After
a long and terrible struggle, of
which only those who have passed
through similar trials can know
anything, he found that he must for
give if he hoped for Gods forgive
ness. He gave his heart to God and
passed from death unto life.
The undertaken led a life of sin,
which finally brought him into the
company of associates with whom
he was found in the criminals
dock

THE DAYS MARGIN
Mrs. NestOr Noel

A neighbor once asked me how ]
found time to play with my child.
I'm the Margin" l replied.
What do you mean?" she de-
manded.
Just what l say" l replied. 81
never plan to keep every moment of
the day occupied. Every now and
then there is a margin, that is to
say, little spare time. There is
the time after dishes are washed
up. We sit on the grass, if the
weather permits, or on the couch, if
it is rainy. We look at pictures
together. Then there is the time
when the supper is cooking. A won
derful time, this for children's
game. After this there is just be-
fore bedtime, dear to the children
because then Mother tells stories.
Oh, yes, if you want to find time to
darn socks you find it. Do you re-
ally want to find time to play with
your children?"
"Children's play does not exactly
appeal to me-" she answered,
though l know l should play with
the children"
Perhaps you play in too grown
up a spirit, thinking of the next job
you have to do" l suggested.
There is so much to do" she
sighed.
well, do not want to laugh at
you," 1 assured her, "but If l may
say something without hurting your
feelings, how much time do you
spend talking to your neighbor over
the garden fence?"
Much more than l can afford"
she confessed.
That's just it," l showed her.
Probably your neighbor gets all
the little margins which belong to
your children"
