HOW A YOUNGsTER IN BUFFALO PRO

A young woman teacher in one of the
Episcopal Sunday-schOOls few SUNDAYS
ago had been seeking to convey to the
minds of her little charges some idea of
what constitutes a proper observance OF
the Lenten season. Among other things
she told them that they should give uT
some of their pleasures, and to enforce this
idea she asked each what they would let &C
until Easter. Freddie said he would stOT
eating candy; Willie volunteered to loci
up his checkered game of life; Charlie SAID
he would not go to the theater, and Louis
decided to dispense with the syrup on his
pancakes. and now. Archie said the
teacher, coming to the last lamb of hel
flock, what pleasure are you going tC
give up?" I'm going to stop coming tC
Sunday-schOOl, was the prompt and de.
