Good Service.

Many good stories have from time to
time been told of the Rev. Thomas
Hunt. the temperance orator. who was
a well-known figure In the early history
of the Wyoming Valley.
During the Civil War he enlisted.
and served as chaplain In one Of the
regiments of infantry raised In the
valley. One day In the midst of fierce
battle a major rode up In front of the
regiment. and TO his amazement found
Father Hunt at the head of the ranks.

he asked.
"DoingT echoed the old minister.

And 1t was so evident that he was
performing both parts OF this self-ap-
pointed task that the major asked no
more questions, but left him to his
work.
