May it not be that tho promises given to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob are to be fulfilled In thee?" Moses gazed at his mother in speechless amazement.

His head wa3 in a whirl at the bold suggestions. Why not? he found himself saying, and there arose within him the thrill of a new ambition. Every nerve in his body was pulsating under the new thought, so that he shook as though taken suddenly with tbe palsy. Thermutis watched him keenly, noting the effect of her words, and then added by way of argument In defense of her bold suggestion: "Isi it not thi3 for which thy God has been preparing thee? Is not this tho ultimate goal of thy mission? Thou hast helped thy people and together we have done much to eaue their burdens and lessen the rigors of their servitude, but they are still slaves. They are still In bondage.

How are the promises of God to be fulfilled save as now thou dost boldly seek the kingdom, and with it the power and right to free thy people? "Ever since thou so cleverly aided the king by thy wisdom and skill In completing the great well on the road to the country of Okau and that at a time when it seemed the enterprise must fail and the land of gold continue to remain almost inaccessible thou hast been In increasing favor with th king. And even now he has sent for thee, being minded to send thee on a mission into Ethiopia, where insurrection has broken forth." Moses had been following with cloe attention and deep interest his moth er's words. He was quick to appreciate their force and apparent reasonableness, lie was fascinated by the daring and brilliant possibilities presented, nay more, he was almost ready to espouse her plan at once. But something within him held his enthusiasm from breaking forth, and th question rose before his mind: "I it God's way?" And Instead of th words of approval which were struggling for utterance, he repressed the rising feelings, and said, quietly: "I must search for further light. If such is God's plan He will make it plain.

"But to delay may be to lose," exclaimed his mother, nppralingly. "What further light dot's one noi than to recognize one's mission and one's destiny, and to see the pathway that leads thereto? Thy oft-declgred mission is the helping of thy people, aud how canst thou more surely bring to pass for them the promises of God and the hopes of thiue own heart than as king?" "But surely, if such is God's plan, there will be some word of prophecy that will make it plain, and for that I must seek." "Where? How? No nook cr corner of Goshen has escaped thy prying eye, and thou hast sifted the people as wheat and gleaned from them every vestige of knowledge they possess, at thou hast but just admitted. What profit in further search?" "I know not, mother. I know not where nor how, but something within me cries out for more light. Some voics bids me: 'Search! Search! And beneath it ail there rises in my heart an assurance that God will lead; God will make it plain." The dark shadows of deep disappointment crossed the face of the wom an.

Tne way seemed so plain to ner, and there was such an assurance of success that she was ill-prepared for Moses' reply. She had sc-t her heart upon this thing, and she had expected enthusiastic cooperation in the plan which promised so much for him and for his people. From the time years before when she bad come to a realization of his deep purpose to serve hla people, she had sought to aid him In every way. Her sympathy had won his utmost confidence; her wise counsel had kept him from many an impulsive venture that would have complicated and compromised his efforts to help his people, and her fortune had been freely used whenever needful. And as the years had passed and she had entered more and more heartily into this work, the question: "What of the future?" arose before her with ever-Increasing Insistence, and thus it was that she had come to plan for him.

And it was because she felt she had planned so unselfishly and so wisely that, the disappointment was so keen. But, controlling her feelings as best she could, she asked: "And what of tbe king's summons and the expedition into Ethiopia?" What could he say? If he went not he would surely Incur the displeasure of the king, and thus hinder and perhaps end his efforts in behalf of his people. If be went he would have to leave for a time his research in Goshen, a thing which he was loth to do, especially in view of the latest plans of his mother for him. Looking up at her appealingly, he asked: "How can I leave my research while so much is in doubt? Suppose some new clew should be discovered; some new fact come to light?" "Leave that with me," promptly responded Thermutis. "Thy trusted friend in Goshen, Nahshon, will keep me Informed, and should aught of importance come to light I will send thee word by special messenger, that thoc mayest feel, whether In Ethiopia ot Egypt, thou art in touch with thy people." "Then I will go, mother," responded Moses, heartily, rising as he spoke.

"And may the God of the Hebrews bless thee in thy patience and kindness, and me In my desire for greater light. Surely, He Who has promised deliverance and the land of Canaan to my people will give light and mak all things plain." Egyptian records tell of a uprln" rharaoh sought to create along thu road through the desert to the gold country of Okau, and of an insurmountable difficulty hindering the completion of the work until one was found so skilled and clever as to overcome the difficulty and complete the enterprise.

Publishers reading this item are requested to reprint it and give it as wide circulation as possible. It is fe.lt that if all do so, the child will be restored to his father. The child was stolen from home one year ago last May, and the father has searched day after day, far and wide, without success. He believes that his son cau be found among traveling junk dealers, fo cabled horse traders or movers. He does not think the boy was stolen by genuine gypsies.

He thinks he was taken by a wandering band that used him for the purpose of begging in the towns along ihe route. Richmond Byers, if alive, was six years old last July, is of light complexion, lias gray eyes, left eye notici-ably crossed, has a small shaped nick in the edge of the left ear, has a sharp chin and a narrow, projecting forehead. He was rather small for his age and was unusually bright and intelligent, taking after the manner of a boy much older. There is a reAvard of $500. awaiting any information that will lead to the boy's recovery.

No questions will be asked, and if the abductor himself would deliver the boy to his parents he would not be molested. The bereaved parents are heart broken with grief and want only their child.

The Faith That Conquered STORY OF THE CRISIS IN MOSES' LIFE By the Highway and Byway" Preacher Part I. Seeking for Llh(. Heb. II: (. (Copyright, 1VU, by J.

M. Edson.) Scripture Authority. "By faith Moses, when he had come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Kgypt; for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward." Heb. OSES upon his return from Goshen found an urgent message awaiting him from Ther-m i the Princess Mother, asking him to visit her without delay as she had important and welcome tidings for him. It was now three days since he had left to continue his study and research of the history of the Hebrew people, and the servant informed him that the message had come the day after his departure.

Knowing Thermutis would be impatiently watching for his coming, Moses made hasty, though careful, toilet, bathing and clothing himself in fresh, clean Ifnen after the scrupulous manner of the Egyptians, and then, sending his servant to her apartments saying that he would be awaiting her in their favorite trysting place, he passed through tbe corridors of the great palace and out into the beautiful garden that surrounded the building. Years before, as Moses had devel oped into young manhood and Ther mutis had realized that both she and he needed a home other than that of the palace of her father, she had se cured the beautiful, fertile spot out along the banks of the great river and had there erected a splendid structure so arranged that the apartments of herself and her son Moses, though un der the same roof, were distinct and separate. There they had passed the delightful and busy years together, she planning for his future and encouraging him in his studies and activities, and lie ea'gerly and earnestly setting him-Kelf to every task and duty which came to hand. Thus the years Lad sped by, and Moses was now in his thirty-seventh year. Within the past year he had developed an increasing interest in the history of his people.

the Hebrews, and his visits to Goshen tad become more and more frequent. As he made his way down the path way between the palms and pome granates and the intervening beds of flowering plants, it was plain to see that he was in deep study. "It is all plain," he said to himself, as he dropped upon a bench within the beautiful summer house, and glanced over the parchments which he held In his hand, "until we get down to Joseph and the presence of the Hebrew people in Egypt. God's promises are clear as to the children of Abraham becoming a great nation and pos sessing the land of Canaan. But no one of the elders seems to be able to give explanation concerning the long years of servitude in Egypt, and none are able to tell when or bow the peo ple are to become a nation and go out and possess the land.

But But what, thou naughty truant? Thou art conversing with thyself here as though thou hadst no thought for thy mother and caredst not for the mes sage she has been eager to tell thee for the past two days." Moses leaped to his feet, sending the papyrus sheets rustling to the ground, and clasped his mother in his arms In fond embrace. He bad not heard her approach, so preoccupied had he been, but quickly recovering from his confusion he replied, playfully parrying her chiding: Air, mother, I find myself good company because thou hast put so much of thyself into my life, but thou wilt see how little I want to talk and how eagerly I can listen now that thou art come. Proceed." And gently drawing the gray-haired woman to the settee at his side he waited. 'Not a word will I speak of all that have to tell thee until thou hast given an accounting of thyself." Moses leaned over and gathered up his scattered manuscript. And if thou hast not something of more interest or import to tell than have he responded to his mother's challenge, "we could both with more profit keep silence and listen to the music of the waters of yonder foun tain, or the songs of the birds In the Overhanging arbor." "But what is all this?" she asked, aying her hand upon the manuscript lying in his lap.

"One would think thou wert an oracle of the temple laden with some message from the gods." These are the fragments of Hebrew history I have gleaned from the elders on my visits to Goshen. It is clear that God has promised them the land of Canaan as an inheritance, and has Bald that He will make of them a na tion, but I find no word of explanation of the Egyptian bondage, or how they are to leave Egypt for Canaan, or when." And Moses, in his impatience and disappointment, shook the stiff sheets of parchment until they rustled and cracked in protest. "But why let thyself be troubled by such questions?" "Why?" was the astonished, almost Impatient, reply. "Because the future of the Hebrews is clouded with uncer tainty and doubt There must be other records somewhere." "Perhaps other records are not need ful," Thermutis responded, calmly. May it not be that the land promised was given thy people long ago when Joseph called his brethren into Egypt, and settled them and their families in Goshen? Is not Goshen a fair land of promise, and may not thy people there become a nation?" Moses listened in amazement, while IBy McCulcheon.
