The Pastor.
lJuly 81
Secretary of State


While r ". G.. H. Cannon, formerly
of this place, was pastor of GraC" church
in Roanoke, Va, the following poem
was written by member anent his ad
ministration. Lacking rhythm, measure
and rhyme, it is probably laconic re-
Election i'll considerable degree of every
printed March 18th, last-a few weeks
before he was assigned to anOt her charge:
There is our Pastor, kind and good
He does for his people what pastor should :;
He tries to lead them the narrow way
Up to Heaven, where the good saints stay.
He has membe not teW-SOme Old. good
and true:
Some are young and weak of mini
Like Lot wife they look behind.
On last Communion day a sister said
"From Church I'll stay, for the Good Book
says
Who has aught against his brother
Should not commune with one another"
Another sister said words unkind
And this was working on her mind.
But the Lord was there with His good will
And made this sister climb the hill
To the little Church on Third street,
Where the good people all had come to meet
There she sat in pew,
Trembling with fear-dIdnt know what to
do.
The Pastor preached a sermon both good
and strong.
Telling them of the right and wrong.
They sang-'There Is Fountain Filled with
Blood"
Telling them of their Savior love,
And when they sang Sweet Hour of
Prayer"
They found our sister kneeling there.
Then she Cried-''it is so sweet
To humble ourselves at Jesus feet
Now she says she loves friend and foe
And to the Communion Table she's not
afraid to go.
Now there is our Pastor-he's sport, you
Fishing and hunting he loves to go
And if he gets rabbits-three or four,
He distributes them around among the poor
Now, dear Lord what could he do more
Than feed the hungry and clothe the poor l?
Bless our Church, and bless us all,
Bless each officer there installed
Bless the stewards as they go,
Begging money from door to door.
May we all freely give,
So our Pastor can daily live.
Bless our Aid Society, that little band;
They help the stewards all they can.
They buy the carpet to cover the floor,
They also help to feed the poor.
Now, dear Lord one blessing more
Keep our Pastor always pure:
If old "LiZ'* should break down.
Keep his bones both whole and sound,
And when his work on earth is DER
Take him to that golden shore,
And let him rest forevermOre.

Reamc. But for nearly sixty years
I've watched the birds build their
nests in those trees. l climbed those
hickOrics for nuts when l wasn't big
ger than a pint of cider, and it's been
to those naples that I've looked for
the first signs of sap. Maybe they're
not mine l don't know. I've always
supposed they were, and they shan't
be cut down without fight to save
them"
Out from the house down to the gate
where the men were talking came a
girl. dressed all in pink, a soft, fluffy
pink which reminded one of a cloud
at sunrise, while her hair lay piled
above her head in a great mass Of
golden light. She gave the young man
a simple nod OF greeting while passing
hand through her fathers arm. Her
presence seemed to bring a constraint
upon the recipient Of the nod, for he
spoke with diffidence not noticeable
before.
1--WE supposed when we bought our
place that the trees belonged to us,
and when you said they were your
property father had the land surveyed.
The decision was that the trees were
on our land or, OF course. father would
never have touched them. They are
grown so large that the field is practi-
cally useless because Of their shade.
Nothing will ripen there"
''rve had surveys made myself"
came Reame's ready response. at has
been done three times to my certain
knowledge and each time in my favor
Besides. ! offered to buy the field Of
your father, not because / cared for
the land, but to preserve the trees"
"He doesn't want to sell"-thC eyes
of the young man were on the girl in
pink-"and l presume the only way
out is to let the courts decide. Father
says just what you do-that the
quarrel need not in any way interfere
with us young folks. I'm sorry that
it can't be settled In some other way,
but it won't make any difference with
the friendship OF our families"
"DO you think those trees are on
your fathers land, Ben Holcolm?" de-
manded the girl suddenly.
81 should not have cut one of them
down if l did not, Winnie" he replied
in surprise.
ITS just like killing an old friend"
Her face was cold, but tears were in
the voice which held so much of pro-
test. Il used to build my playhouse
under that one. and I've spent many
an hour in the crotch where the tree
braLched. 1T was there used to study
my lessons, and now you've cut 1t
down"
I'VE did not know how you felt
about them. We supposed that they
were ours. and if they are father in
tends to have the Ak at them all Now
that your father has arrested mine for
trespass and destroying property the
only thing left is to fight it out But,
Winnie, it won't make any difference
with us, will it?'

from the village he can come after you
unless you're willing to make terms.
What'll you give me to help you?"
She was near crying, but was too
plucky to show it. 1t wasn't like him
to treat her in this way. Wasn't It
enough that he had chopped down her
trees, and now
What do you want?" she demand

For answer he came under the tree

said. "I'll catch you so you can't get
hurt. Just take hold with your hand
and then drop down"
"Tve done that many time" She
replied, and In moment more she

and tucking 1t through his, 1--WE been

Then they went home together, drip
ping wet, but wondrously happy. But
as they neared the Reamc farmhouse
Ben stopped and pointed where the
rows of hickory and maple trees had
been standing. From those his finger
moved to n great heap of twisted
branches and uprooted tree trunks ly-
ing at the corner of the kitchen porch.
Don't you think, Winnie" he asked,
