rem are invited for a similar meeting
on Friday evening.
Interesting plans were made for
commercial club night which was OBJ
served Wednesday night. The club
accepted an invitation to them and
their families to be present in body
that night. The high school also ac-
cepted an invitation. A large section
OF seats was reserved for the student
body whatever night they decide to
come.
The choral festival given by the
choir and singer Pugh attracted many
last Friday night. If you have not
heard the singing, do not pass another
night without doing so.
An impressive service for the young
people was the union meeting Sabbath
evening at $3.50, led by Mr.. Pugh. His
talk on "Can You Trust God and Can
God Trust You" brought new determ-
ination into many lives.
A meeting for men only will be held
next Sabbath at 3 p. M. in the taber-
nacle. Men bring your voices. The
song service will be unusually inter
esting and the service throughout.
Manliness is aroused to its best in a
large gathering where men only are
present.

WILLING TO SUFFER AGAIN
Old Woman's Prayers Were Not Ex-
actly the Result Of Feeling
Of Gratitude.

A lady had friend who called to
see her one day, accompanied by her
poodle. On the way they met an old
beggar woman, whose appearance so
annoyed the dog that it promptly bit
the mendicant, whose bowls and la
mentations terrified the kind-hearted
lady. Here, my poor woman, here's
ten shillings for you," she said, nerv-
ously rendering the coin.
The old woman grabbed It, and then
fell on her knees in the middle of the
road and started praying for all she
was worth, regardless of mud or mo-
tors.
"And people say the lower orders
are irreligious and ungrateful," solilo-
quized her ladyship, who was quite
touched by the exhibition.
At last the applications became
more and more vehement, and curios-
ity prompted the donor to inquire
what special blessings were being in
voked. What are you praying for?"
said she.
The old vagrant stopped and looked
at her sympathetic inquirer. Sure,
an I'm askin' the blessed saints to
persuade the crathur to bite me on
the other leg!" she answered.-Lon-
don Tit-Bits.

TEST OF COURAGE
BY MARY HOWELL FooTE.


Cannons were booming, but in a
country at peace. Martial music flied
the air, but it was the accompaniment
to military practice maneuvers. Ger
aid Price and Grace Rowland sped
along the smooth sloping shore of
Chesapeake bay, noting the same and
taking in at a safe distance naval
and camp tactics.
THE last day of the week, the last
day of the month, the last day of my
vacation" spoke Grace, with quite a
sigh, and she bestowed a glance of I'M
derveiled real gratitude and apprecia-
tion upon the escort who had tried to
make her two weeks respite from
studio work in the hot, dusty city
pleasant for her.
And the last auto drive we shall
take together" murmured Gerald in
tones Of manifest regret
"There-there is next season, you
know" suggested Grace. with hope
full smile.
There was that in her tones that
thrilled Gerald Price-genuine SINGER
ity. He did not follow up the mute
reckoning of those lovely, longing
eyes. He was a shy fellow and he
blushed. Then a narrow, winding
course required some expert maneuv-
ering, and the thread of the converse
ton that might have led to his hearts
desire was interrupted.
He was shy and reticent in mind
and manner, this novice in the courts
of love. Many a time at lawn parties
and picnics he had envied the big,
boisterous fellows whose brisk ways
he took for courage He had not their
initiative, he thought. He must APP
pear as their inferior, he decided. And
this had made him timid-hearted
whenever he was with Grace That
he loved her deeply he was sure. That
she returned his affection he very
much doubted
The bold brash ways of forward
youths had not made the impression
upon Miss Rowland that he fancied,
but Gerald did not know this. She
was, however, disappointed that Ger
aid did not act more self-assertive. His
shyness was rather a merit with her,
for it covered intense respect for the
