the force of a current is by sailing up
stream, or the force of nn ocean wave
by running tho ship against it. Running

In estimating maternal influence we

The ililYorouco between that mother’

in hundreds of thousands of livos is ihe
diiieri iico between the Mississippi riv
away up at tho top of the continent
starling from iho little Lake Baser
i soven miles long and one wide, and its
mouth at the gulf of Mexico, where na
vies might ride. Between the birth of
that river and its burial in the sea tho
Missouri pours iu, and tho Ohio pour
in, and the Arkansas pours in, and tho
Rod and White and tire Yazoo rivers
pour in, and all tho states and territo
vies between the Alleghany and Rocky

Older to test the power of a mother
influence, jvo need to oome in off tho
ocean of eternity and sail up towar'
tiie one cradle, and wo will find 10,000
tributaries of influence pouring in nn
pouring down. But it is, after all, one
great river of power rolling on ami roll
jug forever. Who can fathom it V Who
can bridge it? Who can stop it? Had
not mothers hotter be intensifying their
I prayers? Had they nut better be elevat
ing their example? Had they not better
be rousing themselves with tho consiu-
ei.itinu that by their faithfulness or
neglect they are starting an influence
which will be stupendous alter tho last
mountain of earth is flat, and the last
sea has dried up, and the last fluke of
the ashes of a consumed world shall
have boon blown away, and all tho tele-
n pi y of other worlds directed to the
truck around which our world once
swung shall discover not so much as n
cinder of tho burned down and swept
oft' planet. In Ocylon there is a granite
column o0 square feet in size, which is
thought by the natives to decide the
world’s continuance. An angel with
robe spun from zephyrs is once a cen
tury to descend and sweep tho hem of
tb i l lie across the granite, and when
by that uttruioii tbe column is worn
away they say time will end. But by

If a mother tell a child if be is not good
some bugaboo will come and catch him,
the fear excited may make the child a
coward, and the fact that bo finds that
there is no bugaboo may make him a
liar, and tho echo of that false alarm
may bo heard after 15 generations have
been born and have expired. Jt a moth
er promises a child a reward for good
behavior and after the good behavior
forgets to give the reward, the cheat
may crop out in some faithlessness half
a thousand years further on. If a mother
cultivate a child’s vanity und eulogize
his cnrlH and extol the night black or
sky blue or nut brown of the child’s
eyes and call out in bis preseucethe ad
miration of spectators, pride and arro
gance tuny be prolonged after half a
dozen family records have been obliter
ated. If n mpthor express doubt about
some statenii ’it of tho Holy Biblo in a
child’s presence long after the gates of
this historical era havi closed and the
gates of another era have opened, the
result may lie Been in a • amplon blas
phemer; hut, on the other hand, if a
mother walking with a child see a suf
fering one by the wayside and says,
"juoohild. give that 10 cent piece to
that lame boy,” the result may bo seen
on the other side of tho following cen
tury in some George Muller building a
whole village of orphanages. If a mother
sit, almost every evening by tbe trundle
bed of a child and teach it lessons of a
Saviour's love and a Saviour's example,
of tho importance of truth and the hor
ror of a lie, and the virtues of industry
and kindness and sympathy and self sac
rifice long after the mother 1ms gone
and the child has gone and the letter
ing on both the tombstones shnll bnvo
been washed out by tho storms of lnnu-
rablo winters, there may bo standing,

rivals have been duly nnd appropriately
chronicled, but it is only stated ns tho

Some days ago four of the happy
young mothers, all of whom had lino
boys at home, met iu one of the dry
goods stores. All of them completed
their purchases about the same time,
As they were all leaving tho store, in
speaking distance of each other, a fresh
young clerk, in an effort to bo pleasant,
fired the stereotyped question at one of
them, “How is the boy today?”
In an instant four beaming faces were
