HOW PRESIDENT ARTHUR
AND BLAINE WE'RE CAUGHT

PRESIDENT with boGNAO-
taries Blaine and Window and some
others, once made trip down to the
eastern shore of Maryland. On the
Sabbath they We're fortunate enough to
hear an excellent sermon from the Prot
estant- Episcopal bishop of Maryland,
who was there to administer the rite
of confirmation. To quote from the
Philadelphia Enquirer:
The President and two secretaries
sat in quiet satisfaction. But their
peace of mind was suddenly dispelled.
The offertory was sung, At the famil-
lar words:
oIset your light so shine before
man." etc, the President and the
secretaries each quietly dropped hand
into a pocket.
clay not up for yourselves treasures
on earth. -
Window drew forth crisp one-d' la;
note and held it between his thuml
and forefinger ready for the approach
ing plate. The President and Mr.,
Blaine went little deeper ina, their
pockets. One brought up a nlrkle and
the other a dime. Their faces flushed.
It would never do to make such a
contribution.
EtHe that soweth a little shall reap
little. and he that soweth plenteously
shall reap pIenteously God lovath {,
cheerful giver."
The President went to his pocket
book, and the Secretary of State explor-
ed his vest pocket with nervous fingers.
"'Zaecheus stood forth and said unto
the Lord: Behold, Lord, the half of
my goods I give to the poor, and if /
have done wrong to any man | restore
fourfold. -
The plate was only four pews away.
What the President found in his
pocketbook was one ffty-dollar note
and a ten-dolIar notwithstanding
smaller. What Mr. Blaine found was
two ten-dollar notes-nothing smaller,
To put in a nickle or a dime only was
not to be thought of. To give SO
was more than either cared to do. Each
looked at Window sitting there calmly
with his dollar note in hand. He shook
his head.
''Charge them that are rich in this
world that they be ready to give and
glad to distribute. -
There was no time for further
pocket exploration or consideration.
With a smile of eommiseration at
each other, and something like glee on
WINDOWS placid countenance. the Pres
ident and the Secretary of State each
planked down his ten-dollar note for
the poor of this congregation. And
the worst of it is, said one of the party
afterward, that the Lord would prob
ably give them credit only-for dollar
or two which they intended to give.
