True, Sister Swoops, true indeed"
said Rev. Whcedlcr, "and I pray that
they may live to see the fruits Of their
works il all their fullncss."
This prayer OF Brother Wheedlcrs
was destined to be realized, for it was
written down that Brother and Sister
Biatchtord should both live to sec the
fruit Of their works in all its terrible
failness: and not only that, but they
shoaid eat thereof and come to know
the bitterness of it.
During the little play Of words just
described Sister Blatchfor,!. from her
position at the head Of the table. smiled
sweetly upon those about her. and said,
as plain as actions could speak:
Indeed Brother Wheedlcr is right,
and l am the light of the churcll-a
guiding angel to those less blessed with
goodness"
Brother Blatchford said nothing and
made very little outward show of his
feelings, but it was evident that he was
greatly pleased, and he praised himself
and felt like patting himself on the
back for being 50 great and good.
Now" said Rev. Whcedier after &
short silence. ''wc as & church must
raise some funds for sending a mis-
sionary to break the bread of lie to the
heathcn. This is a great and glorious
work, and l hope our members will
open their hearts ibcrally to the poor
benighted souls that are going to an
endless death for the want of the Chris

amen to that" exclaimed Brother
Blatchtord, ''and to show my faith by
my works, I will subscribe fifty dollars
to that fund"
God bless you, Brother Blatchford,"
exclaimed the minister fcrvently.
"Your crown will be a glorious one
when you have finished your work, and
the Master says: We'll done, thou good
and faithful servant God bless you,
Brother Blatchford, and may you al
ways continue in the way you have
chosen"
Sister Blatchford followed her hus-
bands lead with subscription of
twenty-five dollars, which Blatchford,
course. would pay, and the iaia!.:;":

This is truly I. Christian family. the
minister said with much JUNCTION. "and
their reward will be great in th, next
world. May the Lord reward and bless
them according to their deserts. y
This prayer also would b2 answered
in time, for the day was coming. AID

Blatchfords would receive the reward
