There stood rude and dingy nut

up by the tide. A flaring light burned
within, and cleaned through the crew

to the mournful breathing of the surf.

Story Got the Money!

SO apt was the story told by the
Rev. Robert S. Macarthur in the pull
pit last Sunday that it resulted in one
OF the largest collections of the year,

in warm terms of the character of
John Eliot, the missionary to the In
dams. one of whose most lovable
traits was an unbOunded generosity.
"Out OF his salary of fifty pounds a
year he gave large sums to charity"
said DR.. Macarthur. ION one occa-
sion the secretary of the Society OF the
Propagation Of the Gospel, when pay
ing Eliot his quarterly stipend, sought
to do him a service. he hit upon
plan of safeguarding the missionary's
money, knowing that in all likelihood
