replied, "a little more than your In.
come, whatever that is" A young city
clergyman on his first round of parish
calls found family on the verge Of
starvation. The man had been out Of
work for months. He had a wife and
Eve children, the youngest a baby.
They had just eaten the last bit Of
food in the house. The young clergy
man gave them S. and collected for
them $50 more before the day was out
A few days later he called to see about
getting work for the man. They were
again on the point of starving. With
the $25 the woman had bought fine
new baby carriage, some coffee apd
sugar. When the clergyman expostu-
lated she Indignantly denied extrava-
gance. The children had broken the
old carriage, and it was necessary the
baby should have a daily airing. As
for the coffee it was the first they had
had in weeks. They were accustomed
to 1t and needed it.-Appleton's Maya
