| Stop AND SHAKE HANDS.-Why is il
that men dart out of prayer meeting as
soon as the benediction is given? The
true idea of the church is that 1t is q
family-God's family. Its members are
children of one Father, and brothers and
sisters of one another. A experimenting
therefore, is family meeting. 1t is a
reunion of brothers and sisters. The
service of the character of a feast; and we
all know that after feasting comes talking
and exhibition Of good nature. After the
formal portion of the service is over,
brethren, why not stay and have an in
formal service of your own? Talk of what
ever the Spirit suggests; tell your joys and
your sorrows, your hopes and your fears,
one to another. s'Laugh with those who
laugh, and weep with those who weep"
Don't fly out of the room, solemn as crows
fly to the groves at night, passing through
gloom into deeper gloom; but go forth
happy, as children pour out of the door
when father and mother start out for a
1amble in the bright sunshine across the
green fields. AT least, stay long enough,
after the formal service, to shake hanes
with the pastor and each other, and greet
any stranger that may happen to have
dropped in among you of an evening. Lu-
bricate the wheels Of your, church ma
chinery with the coil of gladness, ''and you
will be astonished at the ease with which
all its parts will soon be working together.

thing as bad.''
There was pause.
"It seemed little unfortunate. y re-
marked one Of the visitors, ''for it deprived
you of an evenings enjoyment

it is all right. suppose you had very

"And Mrs. Elder %
Yes
Il didn't see either of them"
"Not word about Mrs. JONES'" thought
the ladies.
/ A light running conversation something
after this style, was kept up, with occa-
sional pauses, for half an hour. when one
of the visitors determined to come to the
point. -~s7
Mrs. Todd-a-h !" she said in one of
the pauses that always take place in unin-
teresting conversation.
The ladys tone of voice had so changed
from what it was a few moments before.
that Mrs. Todd looked up at her with sur
prise. No less changed was the lady's
ccuntenance. Mrs. Todd was mystifed.
But she was not long in doubt.
"A-hem Mrs. Todd, we have come to-
to-as friends-mutual- ask
you''-
The lady's voice broke down; but two or
three "a-hems p partially restored it, and
she went on:
ITO ask why you refused to-to-speak
| to Mrs. Jones?"
"Why [ refused to speak to Mrs. Jones?'
said Mrs. Todd, her cheek flushing.
"Yes. Mrs. Jones is very much hurt
about it, and says she cannot imagine the
reason. 1t has made her very unhappy.
AS mutual friends, we have thought it our
duty to try and reconcile matters. It is
on this errand that we have called this
morning. Mrs. Jones says she met you for
the last time about two weeks ago, and
that you refused to speak to her. May we
ask the reason %
"You may, certainly was calmly re-
piled.
Expectation was now on tiptoe.
"What, then, was the reason ?'
II did not see herr
"Why Didn't you refuse to speak to
her ?''
sNever in my life. 1 esteem Mrs Jones
too highly. If I passed her, as you say,
without speaking, it was because I did not
see her"
In less than half an hour Mrs. Todd was
at the house Of Mrs. Jones What passed
between the ladies need not be told.

aDid YOU see that ?" said Mrs. Jones to
her friend Mrs. Lyon, with whom she was
walking.

me.''
"No. 1 thought she spoke to you as

She nodded and spoke to you; but she

Mrs. Jones ?"
ssDear knows!''
"You certainly must be mistaken. Mrs.
Todd would not refuse to speak to one OF
her old friends in the street."
'sHumph! [ don't know. She's rather
queer sometimes. She's taken a milf at
something, I suppose, and means to cut
my acquaintance. But [ shall not distress
myself about it, She isn't all the World.''
'sHave you done anything likely to offend
her ?'' asked Mrs. Lyon.
ssMe ?" returned her companion; 'no,
not that am aware Of. But certain peo-
ple are always on the look out for some
thing OF other wrong, and Mrs. Todd is
just one Of that kind"

ssShe is, then. know her very wen.'
''I'm SORRY" said Mrs. Lyon, evincing a
good deal of concern. Hadn't you better

and ask the reason of her conduct? This
would make all be clear in moment"

Mrs. Jones, with ill-concealed Indignation
