THE LADIES' AID

Poem Read at Recent Service at

At the Sunday evening service of
the Methodist church the pastor read
a list of names who had given tow
ard the fund during the afternoon
and concluded by saying that the La
dies Aid doubtless would be good for
the rest" if il was found necessary.
Then he read the following verse fur
nished by one of the new additions
to the membership of the church and
to the official board, A. S. West, Jr
The Ladies' Aid
We've put fine addition on the good
old church at home.
It's just the latest pilter, with gal
lery and dome,
1t seats thousand people-finest
church in all the town,
And before twas dedicated, why we
planked ten thousand down:
That is, we paid six thousand-every
deacon did his best
And the Ladies Aid Society, it prom
Used all the rest.
We've got an organ in the church
very finest in the land,
It's got a thousand pipes or more, its
melody is grand.
And when we sit on oaken pews and
hear the mistress play,
1t carries us to realms of bliss UNI
numbered miles away.
1t cost a cool three thousand and it's
stood the hardest test;
We've paid a thousand on 1.-THE La
dies Aid the rest.
They've given hundred sociables,
cantatas, too, and teas;
They've baked thousand angel
cakes, and tons of cream they'll
freeze.
They've begged and scraped and
toiled and sweat for three long
years or more,
And then they've started all Ger
again, 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, "We1l pay the rest"
OF course we're proud of our big
church from pulpit up to spire
It's 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 womens tired backs
And sometimes l can't help thinking
when we reach the regions blest,
That men will get the toll and sweat
and the Ladies' Aid the rest
