Interest was first attracted to the
possibilities of gold mining in that
seetiojn many years ago, however, all
operations were ceased and only re
newed a few days ago when several
gold nuggets about the size of grains
of corn were discovered in the bed
of Valley River.
Though the men working on thesi'
operations may not realize any great
fortune from their labors, it may re
vive the interest of the state in its
minerals; especially the possibilities
of gold mining.

can't keep this state down with such

Look at the world-wide attention he
has drawn to his Live-at-Home Pro

attained. A hard winter may be
ahead of us, but many hard ones have
been conquered in the years gone by.
If only each town, city and state will
organize as Gov. Gardner suggests,
differing from cold and starvation
this winter will be lowered to a mini

THE PRAYER CORNER ]
\
THE HEAVENLINESS
OF A LITTLE CHILD
Matthew 18:4,5
Recall the closing words of last
weeks Prayer Corner on the second
lesson parents should learn.
Let parents study to be childlike.
There are very few lessons more dif
ficult, very few that bring a richer
reword. The little treasures entrust
ed to us have a higher worth than
we know; their very littleness, of
which we often think only in connec
tion with their weakness and their
future value is what to Him who
looked at things in the Light of God
constitutes their greatest attraction.
It is only the childlike life of the par
ent living in great simplicity of
Truth and Trust with The Father in
Heaven that can maintain the child
likeness in the child too.
To this end let us take the third
lesson our Saviour has: "Whoso re
:eiveth one such little child in my
name, receiveth me." Let us at
their birth receive our children in
the name of J#sus, in His Spirit, with
His appreciation of their simplicity
?nd humility. Let us receivc them in
His Name as those whom He loves
ind blesses and of whom He says:
'of such is the Kingdom," to be kept
ind trained for Him and His King
iom alone. Let us receive them in
His name, as sent by Jesus to remind
is of His own childlike humility and
>bedience to The Father, and the
Heaven from which He came, to draw
is thither too. Let us receive them
ind perish them in His Name. Just
is He would receive them, as He did
leceive them and bless them. Let us
?eceive them in His Name, just as
ve would receive Himself.
Yes, just as we would receive
limself. This is not saying too much
or He asks "He that receiveth one
uch little child in my name, receiv
th me." He that recognizes and
Dves the humility, the childlikeness, :
he Christlikeness of the little child,
nd on this account receives and
reasures the child, receives Christ
limself. "This is the promise with
very child, something of Heaven and
f Christ comes into the house. In
I I ? ? >, ?
many cases it is not noticed, net
cared for, and all of Heaven is
pushed aside by the world. Blessed
are they who know truly to receive
the child in Jesus name, a being from
, Heaven, and like Heaven and for
I Heaven ? they receive Himself. He
comes to auch with the little one to be
its and their Saviour. "Whosoever
receiveth one such little child in my
name receiveth me." With the child
He sets in their midst. He takes the
parents afresh into His training to
teaeli t.hem how to be great in the
Kingdom of Heaven. He comes to
make their child a blessing to them,
that so they may be prepared to be
a real blessing to it. He comes to
bless parent and child together and
make the Home what it was meant to ; i
be ? the picture, the promise, the |
pathway to the Father's House in , i
Heaven." ?
Dear parents, shall we not ask our 1
Lord Jesus most earnestly to open4 '
our minds, to take in His Divine
thoughts about 'the heavenliness of
our children, to open our eyes to see
Him in them, to bring our hearts in- 1
to perfect sympathy with Himself so
that our little ones may day by day ,
be the blessed messengers that lead ,
ub to Heaven, that bring to us Jesus
Himself, the Life and light of Heav
en?
A PRAYER
(Use the prayer for the last two
weeks, adding this to them.)
Dear Lord Jesus, we pray Thee
most earnestly to open our minds to
take in Thy Divine thoughts about
the heavenliness of our children, to
open our eyes to see Thee in them, to
bring our hearts into perfect sympa
thy with Thyself, so that our little
ones may day by day be the blessed
messengers that lead us to heaven,
that bring to us Thine own dear self,
the Life and the Light of Heaven.
Amen. ? C. D. C.
