I'm going to send Tommy Cobbe
one this year. They amt real needy

well, YES, it would be right,

IAN the rest in the neighborhood rails,
EN-" continued Uncle Nathan. leaning
forward and looking exactly as if HI
knew that he had done Aunt Millv [:
favor. helping her dispose of hel
turkeys.
"Well. Nancy says that Blooms
Washburn didn't raise any this year
and thought we might send her one. "
said Aunt Milly, looking straight a,
Uncle Nathan.
"Blooma Washburn's husband is nv
enemy" replied Uncle Nathan, rather
CURLY.
81 don't see. Nathan. as the quarrel
between you and Reuel Washburn need
hinder BlOOma and l keeping up neigh
bOrly courtesies." replied Aunt Milly,
the least bit of asperity in her tone
"Well, mother. it needn't. Every
body in the neighborhood knows that
You do as You please with the turkeys,
and that it wouldn't be my doin's. try
ing to buy Reuel Washburn back to
good feelin'. But, Milly, it wouldn' t
look just right"
why not?" asked Aunt Milly. fold
ing her hands meekly across the tray
and looking at Uncle Nathan.
'Well, it would look as if we want

Lord"
Christ says Love your enemies
and this is u good way to show our
love-" said Aunt Milly, tenderly.
''Oh! well, l shan't try to hinder your
doing as You please. Send Blooma a
turkey. if You want to. of course. You
know l like to talk. Milly."
Aunt Milly looked steadily upon the
bed of glowing Goals. as if studying the
right way.
THAT Christly command. Love
your enemies is for us all: but Saint
Paurs command to wives is for me- We
will act in harmony, Nathan. if we do
think different"
"Oh! we'll, dear, do just as You
please. and I'll warrant it'll be right"
said Uncle Nathan, rising and reaching
for his overcoat. which meant walk to
the pOst-Ofiice or some neighbours.
1T does seem strange how Nathan
and Reuel do hold out in their differ
ence. And Blooma and l have been
prayin' all these years. Yes, it is five
years next November since they've
spoken to each other or broke bread at
Christ's table; and it all grew out of
difference of opinion. An argument
followed, and neither could convince
The other; then anger, hot words, and
zach declared himself independent Of
he other. And to think how we used
70 live, c0mforted us all through Ezra's
sickness and death, and come to us
when their Alice almost broke their
hearts by marrying against their wishes.
Oh! it is so strange. There are seasons
hat l know they must hunger for their
lid ways, and if they want too proud
hey'd yield. o Father! will it always
'e thus? Will Thy cause always suffer?
