to go. She assented and they hurried
out. AS he went the smiles on the faces
of his friends deepened. and here and
there one Of them made a peculiar mo-
ton. He had forgotten his overcoat in
the excitement and they were trying to
call his attention to it.
Once on the outside he missed his
coat, and then 1t all flashed upon him.
But he would rather have lost his coat
than have gone after it. Just as he was
about to abandon the garment TO the
foreign missionary society a boy came
along and he gave the youngster 25
cents to slip in and get the coat. When
1t was once more in his possession and
he was on his way home he made a
mental resolve that he would not go to
church again until he was more CON-
posed.
