him to have any of his parishioners

Sure! Have it your own way. But

"Of course, my boy. Sure. Simms-

lancey said, cycling Ursula, but she
was studying the holly over picture.

hilarity is strained through a serried
row of tacks and teeth. Delaney
walked down the room to study the
effect OF the decorations, and Simms
Sinclair drew nearer to Ursula, to say
softly:
You were speaking Of wanting this
to be happy Christmas for all, Miss
Ursula. And that if there was any
thing you could say or do you would
be only too glad. Now, there is one
poor, lonely soul that you can cheer
at this time. 1t is"
Before he could finish, Delaney
came back, and Rev. Simms-Sinclair is
yet wondering whether he fractured
commandment by concluding his re-
mark with a reference to a poverty
stricken parishicner of his who had
been released from jail only to learn
that his job had not been held for
him during his stay in the cells.

Yes. That is fine of you-splendid.

Without the mistletoe," Delaney
interrupted. "Simms- Sinclair. take a
look at that wreath Jones has hung
upon the brow of the bust of Grand
pa Allen. AS an arbiter of what is ele-
CANT and decorous in this community,
doesn't 1t give the benign old gentle
man rather a bacchanalian air?"
Such an idea" Ursula gurgled,
glancing at the bust.
While the rector was adjusting the
wreath on Grandpa Allen, Delaney
told Ursula that he had something to
say to her when she had moment to
spare.
My goodness" she said. Il don't
know when I'm going to have a rest
full moment until after New Years"
But this will only take a minute
Maybe"

consigned Jones to a place wher'
Christmas is entirely unknown.

Greetings. Thanks to their 10y

close has been a prosperous one
for US and we hope the same
may be true Of each Of them and
that it will continue to be their
lot during the good year 1914.
In advocating the things we
believe to be right and condem-
ming the things we believe to be
wrong, we did not hope to al
ways have unanimous approval.
All of US do not see alike, yet
we cherish the belief that the
sum total of our efforts has been
for the moral and material
growth Of our community.
AS an evidence Of Our appre-
citation and in an effort to make

template many Improvements in
the near future. Won't you
help US do this by continuation
Of your generous encouragement
and support.
