House. There was good attendance
and the meeting was wholly harmonious

was the hearing of the report Of Secle-

tho three Mariors il their comedy ladder

W. Il. Lawrence, the Bristol Military band

ness, withal a ring that reminded one OF
a clear toned bell. Something in her air
said, you may tease me as much as you
like, | shan't mind, for I've got a secret"
and we all know that when boys find
teasing does not tease they stop. This
is not all, however, nor even the best part
of the story. One day before her tor
mentors had grown tired Of stirring her
up as they called it she CHANGED to wear
a string Of coral beads. Jack Lyman,
the would-be wit of the school, snatched
at it rudely, calling out, Heres Indies
coral strand" Seeing her look OF per-
plexity he added mockingly: ''If yer don't
know what that means, better jine a
girls missionary s'ciety."
Stung by the contempt in his voice,
resolute little independence made up her
mind she would know what it meant. OF
course she asked her mother, and, though
Mrs. Day was not over wise on mission
airy topics, she had heard Bishop Heber's
grand old hymn and explained its mean
ing as best she could. The story took
hold of the child with q strong fascina-
ton. She never would put on those beads
again, but she often took them out Of
their box and looked at them with some
thing like affection, repeating softly to
herself, Indies coral strand" She al
ways said Indies, not India's, as IL 1t
were personal possession.
God sometimes uses small means to ac-
complish great purposes. BY such little
things the girls interest in missions was
awakened. 1t grew as she grew to wom-
anhood, and India became the country
of her dreams. Her twentieth birthday
found her motherless, with no duty to
bind her to this side Of the world; it found
her also strong in purpose to live her
life in that far-off land working for its
people. II, mingling with this devotion,
was a lurking thought that 40 heather
would ever learn to call her by her Chris
tan name, who will blame her?
Thus it was that little Independence
Day grew up to be a self-reliant woman,
and on this 18th of July she is too far
away for mischieyous boys to twit her
about her red hair or her name and too
happy in her work to care if they did
