The prayer meeting ut the Baptist church
on Thursday night was led by Robert Walker,
the pastor being absent.
We went TO church last Sunday night 1--WE
do attend church occasionally. in fact our
mother always Taught Us to go to church, sit
still and behave o~urseIf). This is pretty hard
for US to do. but as we had heard that there
were to be some violinists at the Baptist
church, and that one of the violiniSts was a
young lady 1--WE confess to a little weakness
for the violin and TO some partiality for the
ladies, though being OF Il bitter nature, as our
name implies, the latter has never been rep
rocated to any very fattering exteEt,) but
howsumever, we went II meeting, and words
actually fail to describe the good time we had
The occasion was the anniversary birthday of
the child whose initials are Y. P. 5. C. f. We
heard that the "young'en" was ten years old,
and as it has always been a good child il was
concluded to give it a birthday party on sun
day. Mrs. L. Myers and Elmer Noble deco
rated the church with notices appropriate
for the occasion. The trimming was beauti-

ing trimmed ourselfa few times, but. unlike
the church, We did not look beautiful right
away afterward. Perhaps the difference is
owing to the material used. They never

the hands of the young people. Harry p.
Gray, n former student OF Peddie Institute,
was leaders; topic ''The Gospel There were
nearly fifty parts taken 10 all, and every part
seemed to be right TO the point, "a little too
"pinted" for us nj times we thought. for alas,
we have been wayward). One ofthe members
read from the scripture book "What shall
be the end Of them who obey not the gospel
of Code" We don't know that the minister
thought OF our case when he made tina par
ticular selection. but somehow we were made
to think of what our mother taught US in
former years and we inwardIy resolved to
attend church u little more 'reglaI" here
after. As to the music The air Is fall Of ex-

The pastor said a few words (but we would
rather have heard the musicl concerning a
collection for foreign missions. Well, he did
so appeal to our better mot Bitterly nature
and SO arouse our sympathies that We opened
our heart and concluded togiye a whole iekle

millions in heathenland.F Five cents for the
sending of the gospel may seem to some
folks like a good bit for us to senaoRt, but we
were woke up and VIC concluded 10 be liberal
for once whether or no. While We we're
hunting for the niekle the willy leader asked
two as good looking girls as were in the
church excepting perhaps the violinist and
