Congregational Church Notes

The sacrament of the Lords Supper will be observed next Sunday after noon.
 During the next two months the va- rious activities Of the church will be somewhat crippled in their efficiency on account of the absence of many of the people. It has never been the custom to close the church and while some of the services will be omitted special efforts will be made to keep up the interest and make the meetings profitable.

Then when they begin to get thin in

Annie felt herself giving way. 1t
was more than she could stand. For
victory to be hers when only mo-
ment before defeat seemed certain
was too much for her nerves. All she
could gasp was:

His visitor looked up eagerly.

said quickly. What can do?"
"Well-first of ALL" said the lawyer
with some hesitation, II want you

piled slowly.
"Howard's stepmother!" she ejacu.

A clerk entered and handed his EN-.
ployer a card. The lawyer nodded
and said in an undertone.

again. he went on: "Yes-Howard's
stepmother. She's out there now. She
wants to see you. She wishes. to be
OF service to you. Now. you must
conciliate her. She may be OF great
use to u.s.
Annie's face expressed considerable
doubt.

door was slammed in my face when l
called to see her"
That's nothing" answered the
Judge. She probably knows nothing
about 1t. In any case. please remem.
Der that she Is my client"
She bowed her head and murmured
obediently:
I'll remember"
The door Of the ONCE opened and
Alicia entered. She stopped short on
seeing who was there, and an awk.
ward pause followed. Judge Brewster
introduced them.
MRS. Jeffries. may present Mrs.
Howard, Jr.?..'
Alicia bowed stiff and somewhat
haughtily. Annie remained self.pos-
sessed and on the defensive. Address.
ing the bankers wife, the lawyer said:
Il told Mrs. Howard that you
wished to speak to her." After pause
he added: II think. perhaps. Ill leave
you together. Excuse me-.
He left the office and there was an.
other embarrassing silence. Annie
waited for Mrs. Jeffries to begin. Her
attitude suggested that she expected
something unpleasant and was fully
prepared for it. At last Alicia broke
the silence:
You may think 1t strange that l
have asked for this interview" she
began. but you know. Annie" In.
terrupting herself, she asked: "You
don't mind my calling you Annie, do
you?"
The young woman smiled.
Il don't see why should. It's my
name and we're relatives-by mar.

in her voice as she went on: "Rela.
tives! 1t seems funny. doesn't 1t, but
we don't pick and choose our rela.

come"

ciliatory.
