It is a frank, u p -to -d ate story. A p ow erful piece of w ritin g in w hich th e fam ous novelist g rap h ically describes th e stru g g le ag ain st th e flood of hew m orals an d ethics a n d dress of th e y o u n g e r g e n e ra ­ tion of w om en.

whom he had shown no sign of life, he answered clearly, ‘Yes, Mother, I love you and Daddy.’ Then he asked: 'Am 1 dying?’ in a tone that indicated a sudden heightened inter­ est. I answered him, ‘We hope not, but you know how to die, don’t you?’ Without hesitation,, he said, ‘Yes; I love God and I love everybody. I am not afraid.’ Then he gave messages of love to several close friends, tenderly consoled his weeping brother and sister, saying again that he was ‘Not afraid,’ asked each of us to kiss him, and slipped away into the land beyond the skies as quietly as I had watched him go to sleep in my arms many and many a time. “In our hearts we knew that out of the goodness and mercy of His tender heart God simply gave us these brief minutes with our little boy so that we might haye these parting words spoken back to us, as it seemed, from the very shores of eternity. We knew, of course, that he did love God, but the memory of his calm assurance and his triumphant passing will be a benediction to us so long as we shall live, and we shall always thank God that He per­ mitted us to go down to the very valley of the shadow with him. “I should count that man a fiend indeed who would rob me of the belief I hold touching the future and present state of my child. I thank the Lord that it cannot be done. I pity the materialistic mind that can see no farther beyond this vale of tears.” In conclusion, let us remember, first, that there is “a boring from within” by those who would turn our country over to the Soviets, as in Russia; who say “down with the Bible, down with God, down with the established order of things.” Second, that Germany tried materialism and it caused her downfall. Third, that France tried to abolish the Sabbath day and substitute a holiday every tenth day instead and her streets ran red with the blood of revolution. Fourth, that our country owes its greatness, not to its resources, but to the faith of its founders. “Blessed is that Nation whose God is the Lord.” HAVE WE FORGOT? Henry W. Frost (A fte r a tte n d in g a g r e a t M issio n a ry C o n v en tio n , a t w h ich no re fe re n c e .w as m ad e to th e r e tu r n of th e L o rd .) The King.went forth a kingdom to obtain With promise to His own to come again; The long, long years have passed, the years of pain And yet He cometh not— Have we forgot?

And thus the days pass by; we joy and sing. We take His gift—yet little to Him bring, And speak no word of bringing back the King; And so He cometh noti|j|j§ We have forgot! “The coming of the Lord draweth nigh.” “I will come again.” “Behold! I come quickly.”
