GOOD ONES
Woman,s Natural FaIIIna
,~-~-N~-~-N-~-~l~l0-N-~~~-~-

AS is often true Of unregenerate men,
Hyroaler was the proud possessor Of a
wife who was the personiflcation of
consistent and jealous piety. No
means of grace was neglected by the
good woman, and the husband was
kept busy inventing excuses for not
attending the various Sunday and mid
week services with her.
Though not a nagging woman, Mrs.
Hyroaler was honestly and deeply con-
cerned for the spiritual welfare of her
husband, to whom she was much de-
voted. On occasions that seemed OPP
perfume she would labor mildly but
earnestly with him.
But to little avail.
One time the pastor Of the wife's
flock had serious talk with the care
less and worldly husband.
"Do you not expect to go to heaven
after this Iife? asked the pastor,
rather abruptly.
Certainly" answered Hyroaler,
piously.
But when do you propose to get
ready? Here's your good wife, who
has been for years making elaborate
and earnest preparation for seeking
that blissful abode"
"Yes, doctor, but It's never taken
me more than half as long to get ready
to go any place as 1t has my wife,
