A BLESSED, PERSONAL SAVIOUR.
John 14:3: "I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also." In 1849, when the excitement for gold in California was great, a man left his family of wife and little daughter in an Eastern home to try his fortune in the gold regions. He soon sent his wife a check for fifty dollars, then a hundred, shortly five hundred, and soon a thousand; then the checks came faster and larger. The mortgage on the home was lifted, a mansion built, and money put in bank. Years fled; the daughter went to school, finished her education, came home; but home was not what she desired it, without the companionship of her father. So she wrote about the following letter: "Father, we thank you for the blessings bestowed upon us; we have a beautiful home, money in bank, my education is finished, and I am at home, but home is not home without you. We enjoy the blessings, but we want the blesser. Father, dear, come home, come home; father, come home!"
