the speaker for the day. Miss Miner.

too; it was the only place he could
depend upon for seeing Miss Minerva.
The preacher, after an earnest and
eloquent discourse from the text, He
will remember the fatherless," closed
the big Bible with a bang calculated
to wake up any who might be sleep
ing. He came down from the pulpit
and stood close to his hearers as he
made his last pathetic appeal.
My own heart" said he, goes out
to every orphan child, for in the vel
low fever epidemic of rs, when but
two years old, I lost both father and
mother. If there are any little orphan
children here today, I should be glad

and shake hands with me-"

by preacher; it was a part of her
religious conviction. At revivals she
was ever shining, if solemn and aus

for all those who wanted to go to
Heaven to rise, she was always the
first one on her feet. II he asked

were members of the church at the
tender age of ten years, Miss Miner

Spouse. Once when a celebrated
evangelist was holding a big pro-
tracted meeting under canvas in the
town and had asked those who had
read the book of Hezekiah in the
Bible to stand up, Miss Minerva on
one side OF the big tent and her de-
voted lover on the other side were
among the few who had risen to their
feet. She had read the good book
from cover to cover, from Genesis to
revelation over and over so she
thought she had read Hezekiah a
score of times.
So now, when the preacher called
for little orphans to come forward,
she leaned down and whispered to
