which were very impressive and en-

ably decorated with appropriate
notices, while large, white cross
occupied the rear Of the pulpit.
Rev. Noe conducted a church SER

the 5. 5. program. He is al earnest
and eloquent gentleman and his dis
course was splendid. A collection
was called for to raise funds to as.
sist the missionary training school,
and more than ten dollars was donat-
ed by the audience.
Splendid music was interspersed
by the choir most pleasing feature
of the program.
At 3p. m, Judge Hudgins, Col.

Tiny rays OF golden light
Through the half-closcd shutters stream
Shifting lines upon the night,
Slender as the moons first beam.
Hearts are gladdened by the glow
Shed upon the winter air,
and voice that's soft and low
Steals from out the easement there.
Soft and low mother sings
To the baby on her breast;
While the tender music brings
Thoughts of loving hearts at rest
Years fly back; Hook again
Into two eyes sweet and deep;
Hear mothers low refrain
''Sleep, my little baby, sleep.n
Pausing at the cottage gate,
In the stream OF golden light,
For a little time / wait
Years have lived again that night.
Days | thought had passed away,
Came back to ne with n sigh;
Called up by home-like ray,
And mothers lullaby.
Then the mothers sweet song dies:
Through closed blinds see the bed
Where sleeping baby lies
Smiling lips and curly head.
Then prayer L whisper low
Bless the little one unknown,
For the sake of long ago
Then so my way alone.

A Church Fair Trick.

The seasons of church fairs is com.

supply Of stories in relation thereto.
But ran across a little incident the
other night which is interesting, not
only for its novelty and truth, but also
as showing the sharp business sense of
our American girls. was visiting one
of these religious bazsars, and in the
course of an hour had spent all the
money felt at liberty to throw away.
So all the pretty pleaders who applied
later were given stern refusal. And
I stood over in one corner to watch the
crowd. All at once u handsome little
brunette came over to me. In her hand
was the inevitable chance book and o
bank bill. Il am not going to ask you
for any money" she said assuringly!
AL want is change for S." Anxious
to please such handsome young lady,
1 handed her the required amount in
silver and was given the bill. Then she
paralyzed me by saying, "Now l see that
you have money, have no hesitancy in
asking you to take chance on silver
