Planted Better Than He Knew,

More than twenty years ago two
men were driving through an eastern
village and noticed an old man set
ting out plants along the roadside
They asked him what he was doing,
and he answered that he was setting
out plants Of new kind that his wife
had got in a neighboring town. IL
said that they were called "Chr:stian
anthems Last summer one OF the
two men again visited the village.
The old man was dead, but the chrys-
anthe NUNS he set out still live and
are said to have proved veritable
Christian anthems to the place which
has been SO greatly improved by the
spirit engendered through that first
example of village Improvement work
in its midst, that old residents would
not recognize it as the same town.

church. Mothers going out to work or
having other reasons for intrusting

each baby. The nursery, located in a
working folks neighborhood, is very
popular with all classes a3d denomina-

service in the church, the pastor told
the congregation that the day before a
strange woman had left her baby, re-
turned in the afternoon, asked for her
child and was refused because she
had lost her check. The matron in
charge would take no chances, but
told the woman to come around later,
when if there were an unclaimed baby
remaining, she could have it. The
woman called just at closing time, and
was told the only baby left was ne
