The ladies' Aid Society.

We've put some fine Improvements
on the good old church at home,
It's just the latest kilter, with lee
ture room and dome;
1t seats three hundred people-finest
church in all the town,
And when it was completed we plank
ed three thousand down;
That is, we paid. fifteen hundred
every deacon did his best
And the Ladies' A id society, it promis-
ed all the rest.
We've got an organ in the CHURCH
very finest in the land,
It's beautifully finished, its melody is
grand;
And when we sit in the pews and
hear the organist play,
1t carries us to realms of bliss unnum-
bered miles away.
1t cost a cool one hundred, and it's
stood the hardest test;
Well pay fifty on 1.-THE Ladies'
Aid the rest.
They'll give fifty sociables, cantatas,
too, and teas:
l.
and one-har ton of cream they'll
freeze.
They'll beg and scrape and toll and
sweat for seven years or more,
And then they'll start all over for a
carpet for the floor
No, it isn't just like digging OUT the
money from your vest,
When the Ladies' Aid gets busy and
says, well pay the rest.''
OF course, we're proud of our big
church, from pulpit up to spire;
II Is the darling of our eyes, the
crown of our desire,
But when / see the sisters work to
raise the cash that lacks,
somehow feel the church is built on
women'S tired backs.
And sometimes / can't help thinking
when we reach the regions blest,
That men will get the toll and sweat,
and the Ladies' aid the rest
Stolen
