A few minutes later Pastor Norwood
was bowling to the organist, who slip

the treasurer arose and said:
"A few days since our pastor had
received but mere pittance for many
months of faithful labor. While he
had wrought earnestly for the church
and its societies, SO that, for the first
time in years, all were in a prosperous
condition, he unself1shly forgot his
own needs. No, no! Brother Nor
wood, you must permit me to finish.
Then one society and another. by some
strange coincidence, conceived the
thought of giving the pastor a pleas
ant Thanksgiving surprise. 1t is need
less to say that we have surprised each
other quite as well. But best OF all I
find that in the few days of uncon-
scious cooperation, we have increased
the amount paid on salary to just five
hundred dollars. This shows what we
can do if we all work together. I
move you as congregation, that we
increase our pastors salary from six
hundred to eight hundred dollars a
year.

Days of festival THANKSGIVING have
been celebrated for many centuries.
Under the old Mosaic law the Hebrews
held an annual harvest festival under
the trees and in tents of palm. The
German Protestants have an annual
Harvest Home festival, accompanied
by religious services, and this custom
was brought to America by the early
Dutch immi grants
Thanksgiving for us today is a time
for rejoicing that life has been spared
to us and that We have escaped many
dangers, overcome many trials and en-
joyed many pleasures during the last
year 1t is also time when we
should remember kindly those who
have been less fortunate and should
put forth some special effort to make
them hamper.

good time while making the pastor
happy. 1t would be easy to prepare
something extra while getting ready
for Thanksgiving. It was to be a
grand secret; not soul but members
OF the society should know a word of
it,
At the close of the business meet

president made a close scrutiny to as

They would not do anything" the

sixty dollars in the treasury; we could

to pay all bills and begin the new year
out of debt. II we do this I suggest
that We observe the utmost secrecy
and make it a complete surprise" All
readily agreed to the plan and pledged
the proper reticence in the matter.
Four OF the most faithful met after
prayer meeting to discuss the situa-
ton, and decided that they must at
once collect $24S.25, the balance nee
essary to pay the six months salary
due. This they proceeded to do so
quietly that one surmised a gen
eral canvass was being made. Before
Sunday the entire amount was secured.
Friday, after school, the Junior
LGaguGIS met ana dSC1OGu .IaaI mas
much as the grown up folks would
not help in the matter, they would do
what they could; so they voted to pay
over every bit there was in the
treasury. Upon counting $23.25 was
found to be the correct amount.
'Oh, girlsi'' cried Lottie Newman,
as she made some figures in the treas
urer's book, 1T will make just even

make it a hundred.
After the choir had run over the
Sunday hymns, someone proposed that
they pay the proceeds of the last con-
cert on the salary. The sum of $50 %;

that it would make $50 all told On
