At the opening of the Sunday
evening service on the school house
grounds, there were dark clouds in
the west and every indication of a
storm in the near future. When
Rev. w. Il. Newlands gave out the
hymn, "Send Showers of Blessings"
there was an amused look on some
faces in the congregation. The SER
vice was about half through when
the near approach Of the storm adj
monished the people to seek the
shelter OF their homes, and those
who were most hearty in singing.
''Let some droPpings fall on me-"
seemed just as eager to get in out of
the wet as the others were. Nearly
everyone reached home before the
rain came, however, and everyone
enjoyed the fine shower, which was
greatly needed.
