"MY MOTHER IS HERE."

A LITTLE boy was away from his city home, spending a few weeks in the country. On being asked one day if he was not homesick, his prompt reply was, "No, sir; my mother is here." His best earthly friend was with him and he was contented and happy.
And so it is with the child of God. In this world he is away from his heavenly home. There his best friends and kindred dwell. There are his treasures; there his possessions lie. And yet though he often turns a wishful eye homeward and heavenward, he is not homesick, because his Father, his best friend, is ever nigh. He has a refuge in him; a very present help in all his troubles and trials. He draws near to him day by day, and finds it good so to do. In child-like confidence he casts all his cares and burdens upon him, and is at peace.
