When King Alfred the Great was

The song, Everybody works at our

about the house works so hard as

For years we have had Childrens

of our Sunday school customs. With
in the last few years has arisen the
beautiful custom of Mothers day,
when sons and daughters wear the

and honor. when mother is remem-

Fathers day also, signalling by a
rose and by an observance similar
to that of Mothers day. We hear
much and rightly of the mothers
place in the home and in the training
of the children, but the fathers strong
hand is required quite as much as the
gentle touch of the mother. The OBJ
scrvance of Fathers day could be
made to mean much for the home, for
religion and for patriotism. The prop

And so you believed that when I

In little ruse like that. Lots of fel-

left him.

stride angrily down the path and out
of sight. Some minutes later another
form swung into view, coming up the
road toward the house. 1t was Tom,
dear Tom for whom she cared very
much, but whom she must hurt.
Must she hurt him? AS she thought
of Paul-the contrast-Tom's big,
warm, generous nature, strange
sweet emotion surged through her
heart. Suddenly her head dropped on
her arms. She buried ;4er face deep,
revealing just the tip of very pink
ear.
"Oh, what little fool I've been,"
she murmured. What stupid little

would give him, but tonight, for

and her gaze wandered across the
room to where he stood with Leah

Leahs face, with its dark, vivid COL

Tom Saunders. her partner in the last
dance, was coming that night for
dinner. Tom was an old friend, q
very old friend, and often came to
dine and spend the evening with her;
yet for some reason Paul had seemed
holly to resent her refusal of his in
vitation when she told him the cause.
How could he be so unkind-so

Tom Saunders closed the fan he had
been welding and rose.

Congregational

There was a large attendance at the
Cong'l church last Sunday morning, when
the pastor preached a very interesting
and helpful sermon from text found in
Matt. All, "And angels came and minis
tered unto Him." Excellent music was
furnished by the young peoples choir,
There was an attendance of 1877 at Sun
day School and the session was, as usual,
very interesting and enjoyable. Several
members were out of town, otherwise
the attendance would have been larger.
A special service was held Sunday
evening, when the pastor spoke from
"The Lambs Book of Life" There was
a good sized audience and the meeting
proved especially helpful. Special music
was furnished by the young choir. Fol-
lowing the service fifteen minute prayer
and testimony meeting was held.
