This son was obsess and sat down to pay attention to this intense take to God in his behalf. The good launch, having concluded his daily slice, came out on the spectator area, found the son and knew that he had heard his prayers, told him that they never knew it but that was the hour he had nominated to similarity with God and ask for a special providence to be with his three sons, James E., Benj. O. and Sherman R. England, in endorsement His work entrusted to them something like upon earth, and along with the sundown hour was the time subsequently mother twist off to some secret place to thank God for His propriety to her and ask that He uphold these blessings and that she ever remain compact to the end to her slice to God and man. Everybody seemed to protect the consecrated lives and examples of the dearest old parents who claim presently gone into the future and are now beckoning us to come.
