Nov. 8. 'OS (2 Sura 18.)
A croup of Rol.li!t, after the battle
of ;oM)Hburi5. w-r) rambling over
that bloody .Held, when, off on tho
outskirts, soatt'd with his bark lo a
tree, they discovered a soldier, Avail.
Hlo eye woro rlvotcd upon nomo ob-jo-t
hold tightly clasped In hi hnnda.
As tlipy drew near his aide they taw
ttidt what he hold In the Iry flnKers
of denth was an ambrotype of two
iDir.ll children.
And the strong men, who hml be
come hardenod through long years of
farnnge and bloodshed, were broken
down at the sight of that man whose
lipnrt was so tender under Its rot;h
exterior, who, whan hu found U Is
(fo blood ebbing away and no bu
rnt! help near, crawled to that se.
tlmled spot and resting himself
against a tree, drew forth from Its
tiding place the picture of his little
loves, and gaied upon It until the
Hcht went out of his eyes forover.
There were six men In the grotty
ind they stood about that silent form
and wept together. They were
thinking of the wives and babies
they had left at home, and wonder
ing If the cruel war would leave
their companions desolate and their
children orphans. Not n word was
ipoken, but as If they understood
each other's thoughts, t'uey di:s a
grave, and laid the poor fellow to
rest with his children's plrtun?
clasped over his sllont heart. And c;i
the tree against which lie wiih sil
ting they Inscribed the wordr,, "Home
body's Father. July 3. lsii:;."
A Misconception.
There is a popular misconception
that the tender love of parentage Is
all wrapped up In the mother. That
It Is she whose heart I: roods over her
children and whoso thoughts are ever
upon their personal welfare. Hut that
Is not true. A true father's heart Is
as tender as a mother's, nn-.l be lives
In his offspring as really as docs the
companion of his flrcMde. He r.iny
have more control of hU emotions.
the dally contact with the world may
have sharpenod his voice and put a
challenge into his eye, nn 1 shut l.ls
Jaws with a pressure more rigid.
Hut follow that man to the privacy
of his home. See him after the shades
are drawn and the lights are kindled
Watch him when the time comes for
the evening romp with the baby
when the children, many or few.
climb upon his knee, ride upon his
shoulder, tousle his gray hair, and
listen to the care-frco merry laughter
of that man of business, and you will
be convinced that there are foun
tslns of love In the paternal heart
is deep, and sweet, and Incxhaust
lble a: any that bubble up In the
breast of womanhood.
A Father's Idol.
Whero will you find in all history
a love more tender and expressive
than that which Duvid had for Absa
loni. He was the Idol of his father's
heart, upon him had been lavished
all that wealth or a king could pro
cure and, though the youthful prince
turned out to be a vain, conceited,
truitorous puppy, tho father never
rave him up. Though he led th
se-esslon ir.ovcr.ient, stole the hearts
of the people, raised an army to
tight against his own father and1
drive him from the throne, David
could not forget that Absalom was
bis son, and when the armies met in
deadly combat, the indulgent parent
pleaded with his soldiers to do no
harm to the rebel if he should be
captured. And when the news was
brought to the king that Absalom,
the traitor, had fallen, the father got
tho bettor of the ruler, and his heart
broke. And, as the monarch fled to
some secluded spot In which to pour
out his grief, the whole army heard
blm wall, "O, Absalom! O, my s-jn.
my son, Absalom! Would God t had
died for thee. O, Absalom, my sort,
my son!"
Since the world began it has been,
true that fatherhood Implies affec
tion. This is the reason men make
laves of themselves, chained by
their own hands to the desk or the
machine that they may win for
their children an easier life.
They do not toll for their own
Pleasure or gratification, but that
they may add to the pleasure and
gratification of their children,. The
father may not say much about It,
but he holds bis head a little higher
ticn his boy wins a prize, and he
"tempts to hide his emotion In. the
folds of a pocket handkerchief when
bis girl reads ber essay amid tbe ap
plause of her classmates.
God's Fatherhood,
In order to drive this truth home,
the sacred writings abound with pa
ternal references. The old Hebrew
' rlters had a great deal to say about
h Fatherhood of God. Sometimes
He was represented as a ruler, some
times as -. Creator, sometimes at a
Judge, but oftener as a father, broodi
ng with tender love over the human
family as His children. And In the
great aud infinitely-reaching prayer
pr the Messiah, we are taught to say,
1:f!t "Our King! Our liulor! Our
""dsn!" but "Our Father." While tbe
T'tirl of ull the parables of the Bible
u 'hat of the Prodigal Sou, the whole
? ' ''port of which Is, not the wicked
ness of tbe wanderer, but the wait
,D8. longing, pardoning love of th
ther.
