However, they have just made an.

Will Donate Organ,


Rev. R. B. Perry, Phi. D., pastor of
st. Paul's English Lutheran church of
Denver, Colo, writes that a lady OF
his congregation will send an organ.
He also states that his people are go
ing to pay a part-or perhaps all-of
the cost of the orn stone"
Result of Pastors Notice.
These generous gifts come through
a little notice published in the Denver
Pastors Bulletin, which reads as fol
lows:
When Brother Woods of Laramie.
Wyo., was with III he spoke of the
mission at Harmony, where they are
building an old-fashioned log church.
He writes that the corner stone was
laid recently and that good progress
is being made On the building. The
corner stone cost eighteen dollars, and
If anyone feels like contributing that
sum or part of it to help the mission
they will gladly receive it. An organ
is badly needed for their Sunday
school also. Perhaps someone has an
organ that is not being used now, and
that would do good work there. If SO,
suppose you donate it to them"
The donation Of books came at the
suggestion of Rev. DR.. Ludden to his
brother-in-law, who is a member of
the New York congregation.
Pastor Woods Grateful.
Pastor Woods is very grateful for
these gifts which are not for himself
but to be used in the work Of the Lord.
1t is a blessing to receive such gifts.
How much more blessed must be the
givers.

Ills ready wit. his brave and reso-
lutte character, soon Won for him the
high favor and esteem OF the Queen.
She conferred upon him the honor Of
knighthood, and SO he is known In
history as Sir Walter Raleigh.
Ii At that time the streets OF London
were not like they are now, and It
happened one day as the Queen was
going with gay. party of knights
and ladies to take her pleasure on the
water. she, came to muddy place.

and spread his cloak over the ground
and ) the Queen passed over dry shod.
OF course she asked the name Of the
gallant young cavalier and found It
was Walter Raleigh.

some cloak, but gained many suits"
From that day the Queen showered
favors upon him. and would have made
him one Of her attendants. But Ra-
Sleigh's brave and adventurous spirit
was not satisfied with the life of ease
and 1dleness at court His attention
and interest had long been directed
toward the western world. where, since
Columbus's first voyage In 149a many
new discoveries and settlements had
been made.
