Waiting for Her Boy
A few years ago in one of the
growing cities of New York state
there was a home into which the
great sorrow of father’s death had
entered The sons of whom there
were several were of a nervous
temperament full of animation
and exposed to many temptations
which endanger the youth in large
cities
Tfce widowed mother realized
the vast importance of her respon-
sibility and many a time did she
look upward toward the heavenly
Father for divine aid in the guid
ance of her fatherless boys She
made it a rule never to retire for
rest at night until all her sons
were at home But as the boys
grew older this became a severe
Jtax both on her time and health
often keeping the faithful mother
watching until the midnight hour
One of her boys displayed a tal-
ent for music and became a skill-
ful violinist lie drifted among the
wrong class of people and was
soon at balls and parties that sel-
dom dispersed until the early
hours of day Upon one occasion
it was nearly seven o’clock in the
morning before he went to his
home Entering the house and
opening the door of the sitting-
room he saw a sight that can
never be effaced from his mem-
ory In the old rocking-chair sat his
aged mother faBt asleep but evi-
dently she had been weeping Her
frilled cap as white as snow cov-
ered her gray hair the knitting
had fallen from her hands while
the tallow from the candle had run
over lhcm)i(itick and ilawa hr

doing her?"
Hi vole startled her and ujton
the question being repeated sha
attempted to rise and piteously
tut 0 so tenderly looking up Into
hi face said 1 1 am waiting tor
my hoy'
The sad look and those words
ao expressive of that long night's
anxiety quite overcame the lad
and throwing hla arm aroum
her lie said:
" Dear mother you shall never
wait again like this forme”
That resolution has never teen
broken But since then that moth
er has passed into the woild be
yond where she still watches and
waits lut not in sorrow for her

New Story of an Old 5ong
The first time that the tender
lyric "Home Sweet Home” was
sung in publio was when an Indian
brooding over the death of his be-
loved squaw and papoose commit-
ted suicide on the spot where they
were buried
It was a time when the boun-
dary lines between Georgia and
Tennessee were in dispute and
the half-breeds were constantly
making trouble In order to har-
monize contending factions our
government established a trading
post there When John Howard
Payne appeared on the scene he
was arrested on suspicion of in-
citing the Indians to insubordina-
tion and was carried to the coun-
cil house
With others he witnessed the
mrial of the heart-broken Indian
Ie began 6oftly singing to himself
he song which has since echoed
hrough every land on earth The
sequel is told by the Atlanta Con-
stitution in these words:
Gen Bishop who had kept a
close scrutiny on his actions heard
the song and called Payne to him
“Young man" said the stern
old Indian fighter “where did
you learn -that song?"
“I wrote that song myself" re-
plied Payne
‘ ‘And where did you get the
tune?"
‘ ‘I composed that also"
‘ ‘ Would you let me have a copy
of it?"
‘ ‘Certainly I will"
‘ Well a man who can sing and
write like this is no incendiary
Appearances may be against you
but I am going to set you free
shall write out your discharge im-
mediately and a pass to carry you
anywhere you choose through the
nation"
Payne had been housed in the
home of a family near by and on
his return there he exhibited the
pass and related the circumstances
That was the first time that “Home
Sweet Home" had ever been sung
in public

After Ccgfortsce
Once more I wish to urge upon
churches the importance of
Hide special effort in orJer to
cure the comfort of the new
preacher sod hie family Bo
hard ie the etrutfl at the end o
the year In nanny chargee to
bring up collection! that there
ie n natural reaction— a sort of
holiday season -until eom weeks
have paieed away In cense-
qoenoe the prenehorc that go
to new appointment! are often
embarrneied and borne down by
want of nooeisary means to meet
the expenee of removal and to
establish themself ea comfortably
in a etrange place As a rule—
indeed in all caaea in which it ia
at all practicable— a preacher
should make a aatiifactcry set-
lement of all bia business mat-
ora before he movea The world
laa no exouae for the failure on
the part of miniatera to pay their
debt It aeema bard— it often
a hard— that while publio opin-
on forbida the Methodist itiner-
ant to engage in any other work
o add to bia funda it frequently
lappena that the amount paid
him by the oburoh ia too email to
defray bia neoeaaary expenses
and keep up the appearance
and do the entertaining of friends
required of him Along here ie
some of the saddest experience
but it is not often that muoh is
said about it at least in the
proper spirit Now if the preaoh-
er ie expeoted to square all his
acoounts at the old appointment
and to pay the expenses of mov-
ing it is certain that good kind
)U8iness men in the new charge
ought to know and feel that the
irst of the new year is the time
of all times to do something hand-
some for the pastor It is very
unpleasant for him to open the
subject of money right at the
beginning but -it pught to be
esteemed by the kind-hearted
eward the best opportunity of
ie whole year to show a broth-
eriy faithful spirit and to help
le whole charge by a little help
to the pastor Indeed I doubt
whether there is any better way
in the world to start a happy re
lation between the new preacher
and his people than by their
sending in or taking in some
token of neighborly brotherly
appreciation at the very com-
mencement of acquaintance Try
it all of you just this time and
see if I am not right Lighten
the burden of the family that
comes to you in the name of the
Lord — Selected
(The above is from a Method-1
iat paper and with the exception
of the Methodist peculiarities in
it applies to any church and
preacher)
It would be far easier I ap-
prehend for nine men out of ten
to join a storming party than to
lie on a rack or to hang on a
cross without repining Yes
patience is strength and patience
is not merelystrength it is wis-
dom in exercising it We the
creatures of a day make one of
the nearest approaches that is
possible for us to the life of God
Of God St Augustine has finely
said “Patiens quia aeternus’’
— because he lives forever he can
afford to wait— Canon Liddon
