Y, former pastor of the NJ. Z.

Dear friends, we think it is really
quite shocking
To ask us to tell you the size of our
stocking;
For if we should give you an answer
complete,
You surely would then know the size
of our feet.
The stocking you sent is regular
beauty,
And to put something in it is simply
our duty.
The sum is not large we wish 1t was
more,
That we cannot do better we really
deplore.
Please give kind regards to our Ar
lington friends;
We will love and esteem them till life
with us ends;
And then by and by in the home OF
the blest,
We hope with the Lord to have per-
manent rest.
