hare His Father with us. He mi-ht
hav dwelt alone with the Father
nrotiinout etenut v an-i na i ;n
house to Himstif. but He c.euhi not
have :t that way. This is v hat these
tnirt;. years in Palestine mean that
He would net r:ivc it that .-ay.
And if Chl'is'i is thus hospitable.
He wants you to be the same. It is
a war der that He opens the door at
all when a perron approaches it all
ahme. Certainly He rejoices when
He sees two or more cross-in?; the
porch together, ,dl. brother- and sis

Put with all this eajrer welcoir.e
there are some restrictions that apply
to thus entrance to the Houne of the
Lord's Prayer. The proud are not
wanted there; indeed the Ooor is a
very hew door and no one turn ro
through it holdimr his heau hi'h.
And only the Father's sons, -, he bro
thel's of Jesus Christ, are wanted
there, altnoufth anyone can bt adopt--,'d
unto the Father's family 1or the
'skinrt'. You see this is a real home,
and no place for strangers, that is
for those who are determined to be
and remain stranjrers. Tins is one
of the hcaiC.iful things about th en
trance to the House of the Lord's

Do you know what it means to call
God "Our Father?" Have you k.st
all your fear of God and become tilled
with the love of God? Have you
ceased to try to. atuide yourself
through the tancled mar.es of this
life and t'onhdinely placed your
hand in the hand ot tnc bather.'
Have you stopped worry: n.cr about the
future and becum" well content to
take it as God send it? Have you
jrained a new power " work, deriv

partner? Ar yoti lonely no

Companion always with you? If all
this is true for you, then you have

mirable and cannot be chisled into
cold granite ou.'y a a mute reminder
tf a character the like of which his
tory fads to ntol'd a-id was know.:
known only in these Southern States;

sought their freedom, reconstruction
was unable to .-ever the cord of r.
'pert for their their their "chilrrn."
Few now live who knew the love
and faithfulness of their old mam

ry lays made so by their presence--their
clannish speech, queer sayings
and amusing superstition. No other
people, no other generation of our
own -people, will over feel the tie 1 h.at

Southern youth in bonds of mutual

and no one t Ise than they with en

memorial to their virtues. This lin
gering few whose munis naturally
hover over the past, seem to have

that a debt is still due those old

to meet the obiigat ion, knowing that
