lie Was in a Church Dilemma, but Man
aged to Come out All Right
Last Sunday was communion sun
day in the dcacon's church, says the
IOoSac Valley News. \ part Of the
dcaCOn's duties j. TO attend to the
PREPARATION Of the service and the
supplying of the bread and wine for
the celebration of the solemn Ordi-
nance. The previous week had cen
of unusual business care and cNCrtlOn
for the deacon, and Sunday morning
found Ii III at the church before he
even remembered that it was com
to him Ike an clcctr c shock. There
was neither bread nor w ne, for he
had forgotten toproCurc them What
was to be done, The hour was at
hand and it would never do to let it
be known that negligence or forget
tulncSs caused the postponcmcnt Of
such an important CCTCm ny.
The deacon scratched his head and
then started on cantcr tor home.
His wi C had in the cellar iug Of

deacon pointed. He got it d
sampled its contents They were cX-
ccIlcnt. but powerful. lIc toured
out Il quantity and added an iuaI
amount OF water Then it was about
right IN strength, but the c lCr was
wrong. Down came Il tumblcr OF his
wIfc's b">tgra c Jelly. With nervous
energy the deaCu stirred the Jelly in
the wine ard water. The color came
and the blend was pc feet. Then he
cleaned the bread can OF the Fridays
baking and hurr ed y cut the bread
into squares With bread under one
arm and his watcrcd and icIIied wine
under the other he cantercd back to
the church and in the back way. He
got there in time, but t was narrow
ucak. The members or the church
didn't know the reason for the sup
pressed excitement in the dcaCOn'S
manner, for the service proceeded
properly and in order When the
deacon and his wife got home she
saw the wine jug and empty bread
can.
"Whv, deacon" she SAID.
Then the deacon told her the story.

His VOtarlCS, following their god 5
foretingcr a. it pointed, all turned to
look in the direction he indicated witt
blank surprise and establishment. Such
a sight had never met their eyes be-

long hair falling down over their fore
heads and their hands held up to
their eyes that they might gaze the
further across the dim. dark ocean.
