year, now, and she's got much the

:" It Is; it will make a man of her

deacon. And he departed, nightly
pleased with having covered two pat

with firm purpose already fixed in

TWAS not long-not more than week
or two-before a great change began
to come over the spirit of the preacher.
One or two wine glassfuls of Johann
Hoff's Extract with every meal had
its effect in Strengthening of the eccle-
siastic shoulders and a strengthening of
the ecclesiastic brain. The old time
heartiness returned after a short time
and collections at the church increased.
The deacon rubbed his hands together,
and kept up the supply of Johann
Hoffs. And one day there was a
wedding, and the preacher and the
deacon $ daughter were very happy.

And it was all so. Beautiful
thoughts dropped from the preachers
lips like unto sparks of fire, and the
congregation came to look upon him
as one inspired and listened in rapture
to his words. And one day there
came from large city church a call.
We have heard much of YOU" said
they of the large city church, "and
we offer you salary which will ad-
init of your buying books and taking
European trips" And the preacher
waxed exceeding glad. and accepted
the good offer.
Then was the deacon sad. II am

and by my own fault. The ten-vear
contract holds not under conditions

with Maggie gone" And he put his
finger piously to one side of his nose,
and bore himself bravely. He smiled
upon the young people, and gave them
his blessing many times.
The deacon, as has been said, was a
practical man. He called the preach
er to one side on the day when the
congregation had gone as one person
to the station to bid the young people
Godspeed. George, said he,
George, don't forget to include To-
ham Hoff's Malt Extract in your
prayers. 1t made you over, George,
when you needed making over the
worst way. 1t snatched you from the
burning, George, and you owe it
much. Also, George, you owe me
something. The-the Lord doesn't
pay cash, and the Johann Hoff's Ex-
tract you have been taking is still un-
paid for. I think perhaps he expects
you to attend to that, George. Let us
hear from you soon, George. Good
bye, Maggie. Write to mother often"
The train runbled slowly out of the
station, and the congregation ambled
slowly to Its homes, led by the deacon
with his hand in his pocket. A woman
whisked by ON a bicycle, holding a
handkerchief to her eyes with one
hand while she guided the machine
with the other. She wore divided
skirts.

So while the preacher prayed. the
deacon stirred his stumps.
He reasoned, the deacon, that the
first step was to restore the preachers

was perfectly satisfactory to the con-
gregation, having been known at one
time to have moved it so strongly that
it had yielded the largest collection in
the history of the church. He is a

There was q preacher once whose

was very bad And. although he lab

congregation seemed to desire, he lost
heart and became exceeding like the

much that the words which he spoke
