be able to put a roof over their heads, by
stretching the roof a little at h edges,
to be sure.
So they oountormandOd the order for the
half finished organ, and built, leaving ample
space for such organs "a the future should
please to send. Thus il cam about that the
Church Of the Holy Comforter had to rest
satisfied with homilies and sermons and
lessons first and second, unrcfreshed with
harmony from an organ.
In this state tho church still would be hut
for the ingenious C~hoirmaster. 1t seemed
good to the congregation to have a choir
master and ~organist, even If there was no
music possible nor any organ, saving an
old article OF the sewing machine tyre,
useful To steady tho piping Of Sunday
school children.
Appointing IN organist served to voice
tho ~churchgoers' enthusiastically more.
But a. for Dale, the newly appointed choir
master Or9anist, he was not satisfied to
stand az a mere symbol for things lacking.
He bestirred himself, found dozen boys,
10 the school or out Of it, who as his ear
told him could be taught to sing-for he
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-09-23

was really a musician. Then he formed q
double quartet Of mems voices. Then,
but for a lot Of bard work and organizing
of his forces, his problem was worked.
The church should hear music.
One Sunday morning the congregation
were surprised to hear the round tone OF
the new choir ring through the church for
the first time. They sang all the choral
parts of tho service in full without the help
Of any accompaniment, savc an occasional
too from the small instrument, audible
when there were silences to fill in. II had
taken infinite work to train the voices into
the unity and volume that made the twenty
sound like one mouth, while the harnonies
were distinct and grace notes audible
much a. they would be on the vast ilstru-
ment that the church lacked.
There are plenty Of choruses, but a choir
singing a cdpeHh that produces the mOdu-
lations Of church music without help from
the pipes is not frequently heard. The
members of the Church Of the Holy Com
fortor take a good deal Of pride In their
peculiar possession, though not enough to
make them cease TO plan for the organ they
hope finally to get.

JONAS SOLVED TIE PROBLEM.
How . Shy suitor Made . Proposal Of
Marriage.

In all the village Of Fairview there was no
man quite so shy "a Jonas Brown. As a child
he became speeches. with confusion when
any one noticed him.; he stumbled and stam-
Inered his way through the gawky nGe; and
when he arrived ut young manhood, although
he was popular among his own sex, the sight
OF a girls face would throw him into an agony
Of self-oonsciousness. He usually took TO
the other side 6; tho road when he saw =
young woman approaching. Every one
wondered what would happen should Jonas
fall in love. At length the day came, says
the Youths Compassion.
Arabella Hawkins was an attractive girl
from a ~neiRhboring town. an pretty "a she
was talkative, and Jonas. who nrst saw her
at church, was captivated by her charms.
A few days later he sstonished all Fairview
by walking home with her. and capped that
performance by several tentative evening
calls. But whether he strolled dow fOwery
lanes, or sat with her on the porch in the
evening, the words no wanted to say seemed
TO stick In his throat.
Could you-could you" he stammered
on one OF these occasions.
Gould I WHAT" she Queried.
Gould y%ou-Could you-Go driving with
me Tomorrow"
II was not at all what he had meant TO say
but he vaguely felt that perhaps in a buggy II
would be easier to ask the nom entous Ques-
zion. Yet even there words failed him.
will you-will you" he began.
will I what2" encouraged Arabella again,
very s~eetly and patiently.
will you" Jonas seemed TO smother
will ~you-take q walk with me tomorrow"
Certainly. said Arabella. And 80 It went
on. Jonas was getting desperate.
Better hurry up, Jonas!" his friends urged
him. There's q fellow In the town where she
lives wants her Just as much as you dor
Jonas groaned. What was to be done? He
could rehearse II all right before he saw her,
but in her presence words failed him. All one
night he lay thinking the matter over, and rose
the nett morning weary yet triumphant
He believed that he had solved the problem.
"A few days later . crate arrived for him.
Looks as IL II might be a typewriter said the
station agent. still, as Jonas was not given
to literary pursuits. this guess seemed rather
improbable.
That night Arabella was reused from sIeer
by a voice beneath her window. Slipping on
a kimono, she leaned out to listen. The tone
OF Jonas. a bit more nasaI than she had ever
heard them. reached her ear.
Il love you. . the voice In the dark said ran.
idly. Il love you more than any one in the
world. I'm not worthy OF you. I know; but
I'll do everything I can to make you happy.
Will you marry me. ArAbella2"
Yes. I will" said Arabella, and a few mo.
ments later Jonas trudged home with his
phonograph under his arm.
1--we always heard II was q grand thing, and
now I'm sure Of II" he muttered.

The music in the services at the Church

in spite Of difficulties Of a peculiar sort.
The man who has made the music possible
Is J.. L. Dale, a choirmastcr with mental

Some years ago, as the church people
tell, the old church building burned down
one winters night. when the hydrants
were frozen n the firemcn could not help.
The wiser heads Of the congregation met
and took counsel over their troubles.
A fine lew organ was being built for
them, and they had no place to put it in.
The situation was pcculiar-thoy had a
rector, an organ and a cellar full Of char
coal. There was not even any church
to wait at.
They decided that a building was more
important thar an organ, il they had to
choose: and TO pay for both was beyond
