and the little boy’s voice was very
sweet as he spoke the name. Then
the mother’s heart was very glad, for
she had often talked with her little
ones of this Friend of little children,
and she wanted them to love Him best
of all.
One Sunday evening, about six
weeks later, Freddie’s mother found
under her door a note which read, “Go
at once to the hospital. Frederick is
very sick.” She had seen her boy at
noon and had been told that he would
undoubtedly get well. He had been
sick a couple of days, and this was his
first day in the hospital. With all pos
sible speed she went to the hospital
and made her way to the ward where
her precious child was lying. “How is
he?” she inquired of the doctor. “He
is a very sick child,” was the grave
answer. “Does that mean that he will
not recover?” she asked. “That is
what it means,” the doctor replied.
Turning at once to the child, the
mother said, “Freddie, do you remem
ber telling Mamma that you loved Je
sus best of all?”
“Yes.”
“Do you still love him best?’
“Yes,” was the reply again, and his
tone indicated surprise that Mamma
could think it possible that he had
faltered in his allegiance.
“Do you want to go and live with
him?”
“Yes, I do,” and there was no mis
taking the sincerity of the little child.
“Well, darling,” the mother said, try
ing to keep her voice bright and cheer
ful, “you are going to live with him.
He has sent for you and you are go
ing to-night, and you will never be
sick or unhappy any more.”
The child’s face lighted up with
eager expectation. “Oh,” he said, “he

want my shoes on; my feet will get
dirty.” He would not soil his feet in
the weary ascent that he thought was
before him. “No, darling,” his mother
finally said, “your feet will not be
dirty, for mother will carry you and
hand you to Jesus." Then he was
afraid that the ice-cap on his head
might leave some stain, or that there
might be some speck of dirt on his
face; he must be perfectly clean when
Jesus saw him. His mother reassured
him by telling him he was clean.
Then he would say, in a tired little
voice, “it takes such a long time to
get up, doesn’t it Mamma? I won
der if he will let me in when I get up.”
“Os course he will let you in, darling.”
his mother answered, “for he loves
you and he has sent for you to come
and live with him.”
Presently he asked his mother to
tell his father to come and live with
Jesus. “And you must come, too,
Mamma,” he added, in a voice that
was very bright and happy. “Yes,
dear, I will come, too.”
For an hour, there was no sound ex
cept that of the labored breathing of
the little boy. Suddenly, there was
profound silence. The beautiful eyes
flew open and the expression of rap
turous delight, of wonder and awe and
perfect love and satisfaction spoke in
no uncertain tones to the mother’s
heart and comforted her as nothing
else could have done, as she realized
that her darling boy was face to face
with the One whom he loved best of
all. LULU BLISS HALDIMAND.

The Golden Age for July 23, 1908.
THE VALUE OF THE CRUISE.
Last week our mighty fleet of bat
tleships started on the second leg of
its journey around the world. It left
San Francisco and proceeded direct
to Honolulu to inspire Americans
there with a fresh feeling of pride and
patriotism for the land of their flag.
Thence it will go to Australia and to
our possessions in the x ere
it begins to make the vast half-circle
of Asia from Formosa Strait to the
Gulf of Suez. Will it become the
guest of many nations on the way, and
will it bear to them all a visible mes
sage of the power and wealth and
glory of the nation whose flags fly at
its mastheads? Will it have a mighty
moral effect on the “hordes of Asia”
and put into their hearts that fear
and awe and respect for the men of
America which they have paid to the
overlords that have gone out to them
from Britain since the days of tne
East India Company?
We can not tell. Tnese things rest
with the powers that control our des
tinies. But this thing we do know:
that from Quinhon, on the Cochin-
China coast, past the muddy mouths
of the Irawaddy and down the foot
of Hindustan and even unto the burn
ed Arabian plains around Mount Hor,
there will be men from home —mis-
sionaries, women and children, expa
triates, wanderers, and they who toil
in the desolate places of the earth in
the cause of the Stars and Stripes—
who will fall upon their knees and thank
God with moisture in their eyes when
they gaze upon those stately white
ships from the land they love. The
sight of his country’s flag, of his coun
try’s fleet of might and honor, is a
God-given glory to the patriot sojourn
ing in a strange country. Some of
those devoted men and women have
never seen that sight since they sailed
from the home port.
After all, the great value of or r In
tieships’ trip around Asia is not
training it will give to the figt.iim.
men of our navy. Nor is it the sie. i
effect they may produce upon '
eign governments and peoples,
greatest worth is .to be found in
new enthusiasm and comprehensioi
the United States the sight of b
fleet of battleships will give to oui
possessions in the far Orient. They
will see our ships as the mighty har
bingers of a great peace, an arm
strong for their protection and zeal
ous in their interests. It will bind
closer to us those dependent peoples
of our tropical islands and inspire in
them a warmer patriotism, a larger
pride and a full sense of what it
means to them to be part of a world
power.—Exchange.

A VISIT FROM “MA.”
The way in which an Oklahoma edi
tor announced that his mother was
coming to visit him may seem a trifle
breezy, but it is safe to say that there
isn’t a mother living who would not
be glad to have her advent hailed
with such genuine delight and pride.
This is the way he spread the glad
tidings abroad:
The editor of The News-Republican

on a pair of cuffs, if we can find any.
Going to get shaved, and going to get
our shoes shined ard the pegs cut out,
so we can walk right pertly.
Ma’s a-comin’ down to see us. You
know who ma is? Ma is our only ma,
and she’s a good one, too—one of the.
old Ohio Quaker sort, you know.
Ma lives in Kingfisher. She was our
ma when we were born; she was our

hunted prairie coal; she was our ma
when we drank parched corn cofree

ma now. She s the best ma we ever

that’s ma.
