| ton that she did not tell her John.
Suddenly a Junior audaciously
shouted:
Il say. why can't we We all go to
the church and have good time"
1t was the suggestion that averted
impending war. \ fire soon removed
the chill from the room and the lights
shone brightly on n reconciled and
happy gathering. BY the time the
younger Norwoods had been routed
from their beds and brought to the
occasion, tables were spread in the
Sunday school room, where all for the
second time that day enjoyed q
Thanksgiving feast. After an hour OF
social discourse and song, the treas
urer 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 prosper
Gus condition, he unselfishly 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
pleasant Thanksgiving surprise. 1t is
needless to say we have surprised
each other quite as well. But best of
all, find that in the few days of I'M
conscious cooperation, we have in
creased the amount paid on salary to
just $500. This shows what we can
do if we all work together. I move
you, as a congregation, that we in
crease our pastors salary from 5000
to $500 year"
1t was carried with a rush, even
Brother Cook asserting. Pastor Nor
wood arose, and, with tears of Joy
trickling down his cheeks, thanked
them simply. Some said they sung
the doxology as never before; at least
there were two voices that rang out
with n new inspiration of faith.
When they were once more at
home, and the children in bed, Wesley
Norwood again took his wife into his
arms and opening his Bible at place
much marked and worn, they read to.

children: "And it shall come to pass,
that before they call, I will answer;
and while they are yet speaking, !
will hear"-Ram's Horn,

A few minutes later, Pastor Nor
wood was bowling to the organist,
who slipped check into his hand and
said properly: with the compli-
ments of the choir" Just as they
were seated, the door-bell rang again,
and this time the Junior league
marched en- masse and the astonished
minister stood speechless with q
check in either hand. Then the older
league came. and presently the La
dies Aid, and last of all the trustees,
all adding their offerings and crowd
ing the small rooms. Each party
looked stiilly askance at the others,
wondering by what trickery their
secret had become known. Mrs.
Hunter glanced sharply at Addie Day
as if to accuse that young matron of
treachery; but that timid soul shook
her head so violently that it seemed
she would dismember it, in assevera-

81 understand that we have nearly
$50 in the treasury; We could pay the
pastor $4S.50-bring the salary up to
$lOO-and have enough left to pay oil
bills and begin the new year out of
debt. If we DO this, l suggest that we
observe the utmost secrecy and make
it 4 complete surprise" All readily
agreed to the pan and pledged the
proper re;icence in the matter.
Four OF the most faithful met after
prayer meeting todiscuss the situation,
ard decided that they must at once
collect S2iS.2j, the balance necessary
to pay the six months salary due. This
they proceeded to do so quietly that no
one surmised general canvass was
being made. Before Sunday the entire
amount was secured.

leaguers met and decided that mas
much as the grown-up folks would not
help in the matter. they would DO what
they could; so they voted 20 pay over
every bit there was in the treasury.
Upon counting. $23.a5 was found 10 be
the correct amount.
"Oh. girls" cried Lottie Newman. as
she made some figures in the treas
urer's book. at will make jus; even S71j
and | hope we can get enough 10 make
it hundred"
After the choir had run over the Sun
day hymns, some one proposed that
they pay the proceeds of the last con-
cert on the salary. The sum was
S30.25; after referring TO the margin
of his anthem book. the chorister re-
ported that il would make $50 all told.
On Thanksgiving evening they would
call at the parsonage and surprise the
pastor with n check for this amount.
Perhaps it would somewhat atone for
the sin of whispering during the SER
mon.
Thanksgiving day was trying time
for the Norwoods. The baby was sick
the night before and kept them awake;
when they did get to rest, they over
slept. What with rushing to get break
fast over and make ready for the serv-
ice at church, prayers were shortened
and the chapter omitted altogether.
Before the dishes were put away Rob-
bic came in with torn clothes and con-
fessed to having been fighting. With
like Interruptions Mrs. Norwood and
the children were unavoidably late to
church.
When they were seated at the din
ner table, it was almost with re-
bellious heart that thanks were Of
fered for the scanty meal before
them. They had never thought to
keep the day with such meager fare
as this. Under the plea of pressing
work, Mr.. Norwood presently left the
table and repaired to his study, where
he worked all the afternoon on n
next day. He had quit his own din
ner that the children might not go
hungry. Between him and his ser
mon floated visions of hungry mouths,
and eyes pleading stronger than in
words for food. The sermon would
not be made.
The wife succeeded no better with
her own work. Some one kept run
ming in all the afternoon until she de-
clared positively that she would not
go to the door for another caller,
which resolution she broke almost
Immediately. At last when the days
tasks were ended and the children,
tired and hungry, had been early sent
to bed, she came and laid her hands
in her husbands and looking into his
eyes said tearfully:
"Oh, Wesley, am so tired! Every
thing has gone wrong to-day. The
children never were so naughty be-
fore. What will people say about
Robbie fighting? The flour-barrel is
empty, the potatoes are. all gone, and
we have not a thing in the house for
breakfast, only bread and butter; and
the grocer sent us word yesterday
that we could not have another thing
until we paid him. What shall we
do?" After which lengthy and some
what incoherent speech, she laid her
head on his shoulder and found
refuge in tears.
"Never mind, dear; the Lord will
provide;" then he slowly added, as il
in an afterthought, "someway."

on certain October Sunday. The
treasurer. n young man who had re-
Gently come TO the village. had made a
financial statement that morning
upon which certain persons felt very
much scandalized. Such a thing had
never been done before-not even
thought of; then it revealed the fact
that the Rev. Wesley Norwood had re-
ceived but $51.75 for six months of
faithful service.
81 don't believe in bringing up such
matters in the religious services of the
church." grow.ed Brother Cook, who
always protested that it was waste
of money to pay the minister so much
SALARY.
81 quite agree with you," responded
Mr.. Barnes. He was not member of
the church, but attended because it
was a respectable thing to do-gave
you standing. IF these things must
come up every Sunday shall attend
church elsewhere"
Notwithstanding this, it was gener-
ally agreed that it was shame, and
something must be done. But when
things had gone in haphazard way
SO long it was no easy matter 10 face
right about. After several weeks of
.deliberation, the necessary something
seemed as far from accomplishment
as ever.
st is too bad that they do not col
1ect the pastors salary" remarked
Mrs. Hunter at the Ladies' Aid meet
ing. Who she meant by they" was
not entirely clear. inasmuch as she was
one of the officers.
eff no one else will do anything, we
must" rejoined Mrs. Allen; the various
members nodded approval.
1t was soon Planned. The pastor
had received sj1.75; they would pay
him $9S.25-make it even $150-and
have enough left in the treasury for
incidental matters. On Thursday
evening of next week, which was
Thanksgiving, they would invite them
selves to the parsonage and have a
good time while making the pastor
happy. 1t would be easy to prepare
something extra while getting reacy
for Thanksgiving. 1t was to be a
grand secret; not soul but members
of the society should know a word of
it.
"May 1 not tell john" stammered
timid Mrs. Addie Day. She was but re-
Gently married and disliked to have
ever so little secret from her hus-
band. Scornful glances from the more
mature matrons warned her that she
was about to lose caste in the society,
and she quickly subsidized.
At the close of the business meeting
of the Young Peoples league, the
president made a close scrutiny to as
sure himself that al present were
members; he then proposed that, as
