M. F. H. S. PILOT 5 Another exampleg A king had just ordered a group of despised Christians to be executed, and when reclining at his tahle, was surprised to have another band come in, and confessing themselves to be Christians, gave themselves up to die. The king said that it had become a task to order so many people to be executed. In the light of this new faith, the people who were not Christians thought that surely there must be something in the religion if people gave themselves up to die so easily: so more joined, and when a king became one of them too, the per- secution of the Christians stopped. The Christians have indeed made them- selves great. Theirs is the mightiest clan on the earth. Their determination and belief in their faith has reaped for them the full measure of reward, and well do they deserve it. WALTER R.

So one day, in early summer He went,-without any fear How well he could picture his mother ln the doorway. wiping her tears. And then just a week later He heard that his parents had died Here he stopped and the tears showed plain Although to keep them back, he tried. 35. lle looked at the calendarg 'twas Mother's Day And in the village, in the valley below, NYere two little graves, so very bare Without any flowers to show. lle thought he ought to pay tribute To his mother even though she was gone lle was old and had no money But he knew of Howers she was fond. The graves were old-Fifty years in fact They never had Flowers to open and close So he went out in a large field And dug up a pretty red rose. He placed it on the grave of his mother And a glad feeling came into his heart A new inspiration, a new spirit ln his soul, seemed to start. lle wondered what the matter could be XVhy he was over run with joy lle thought then he knew his mother Must have forgiven her spoiled, wan- dering boy. liLs1 i-3 XVHITTI ICR, '37 4-rs ur
