One was his son ( and rightful heir, but he had been away for years, and it whs impossible t to tell which of the three he was. l Each one had hid partisan* and f riends. t Finally a wise man was called upon to j 5S settle the dispute. His judgment was f that, as the father was Known to be au j excellent marksman, his true son woud undoubtedly be so too ; therefore, each t ji of the three cliants should be fm nislietJ , with a bow, and be required to shoot ^ a at the body of the dead ebiel't:im. ami ^ the question of inheritiiucH slmulo be atrilieu uy luu IC^UIl. nnnunu^i*, i| tbe body of the dead iailr.*f w.i> . brought out and placed in dii ei>ct position and the three men were told t - to aim at the heart.

When the third stepped forward, his eyes were mnisi and his hand was tremb- ^ linn:. His courage seeiucd to be gone, and when at last he pulled tbe bow string, the arrow went far abave the father's bead, ami fell upon the ground i at some distance beyond. Tbe wise man instantly exclaimed, ,, "That is the father's child. He loved him too well to wound his * dead body, even for the sake of the inheritance." * It is not smartnes, nor keenness j _ of thought Goii wants of us, beloved, but^that we shall be followers of Him as dear children, and walk in love. If we are to be like Him, we must love as he loved. Don't wound His heart Ly any unfilial ness. So it shall be known that i0 we are His dear children.
