l think you are the most beautiful
girl in the world. and. love you with
all my heart.
Your faithful friend,
Arthur Eustace Henderson.
"Oh. Pamela" whispered Elizabeth
gleefully. 1T is from your sweet
heart"
But Pamela shook her head very
positively
She was entirely in the dark as to
the identity OF Arthur Eustac@ Hen
derson- She had not single young
man acquaintance in the city. and was
quite free from the usual entangle-
ments of youth. Hardly more than a
child. her life had been hedged about
with peculiar carefulness. and until
this moment she had not met with the
tiniest whisper of romance.
1t seemed like an age before she was
free to hasten to the shabby little
apartment, SO poor in its appoint
ments. SO rich in it's unpurchasable
atmosphere of love.
Who Arthur Eustace Henderson was
indeed was mystery. The Aldersons
were acquainted with few people in
the city. He did not belong to the
church they attended: there was no
young man of that name employed in
Mr.. Miller's division. His name was
not even in the city directory. Who
was he? Whoever he was. he evil

May was taken down South to visit
her relations. For the first time in
her young life she was thrown in con-
tact with little darkies. Her admira-
ton and awe was great. Meeting
little negro boy one day. she screwed
lp courage to ask him his name.

boy
"Oh!" exclaimed May, her face
lighting up with surprise and pleas
ure. ARE you the David that killed
Goliath?"
The little black boy gave a fright

whimper. he shrieked: Nav, | amt

believe I'll send Mr. Miller a valen-
tine. poor dear. just because he's
sick"
She scribbled busily away for few
minutes and then handed over the
following screed adorned with cir
Gle in inky-red hearts
Love is such funny thing,
It's something like lizard;
IT winds itself around your heart,
And nibbles at your gizzard.
Well" said Miss Ellsworth in dis
gust, "if you are going to send val
entine. send one: don't send thing
like that. 1t isn't even decent"
Elizabeth sat nibbling her pen han
die pensively as the verse was passed
around among the girls. 1t was at
this psychological moment that one of
the errand boys came around the table
and placed in front of Pamela small,
square box neatly wrapped in white
paper and tied with gilt cord. Eliz-
abeth's eyes widened with excite.
ment:
"A valentine! Oh. kiddo," she said
enthusiastically, some one has sent
you a valentine"
"Oh. no." said Pamela. quite posi-.
lively.
"Oh. yes" said Elizabeth open it.
Let's see!"
Sure enough when the box was
opened it disclosed a very pretty val
entine, all pink roses. flying doves and
gilt arrows The heart in the center
bore In fancy script the following SEN
timeDt:
without thee dear. 'tis summer without
sun,
Or springtime with no fair and fra
grant flowers.
But with thy love, dear heart. my life
doth run
In golden streams and through bright
fairy bowers.
The expression OF surprise on Pam
elias face deepened into amazement
as she read the neatly typewriter
note which accompanied the valen-
tine:

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

The Sunday school attendance
contest with Hankinson, which
has been in progress for the last
eight Sundays, ended in defeat
for our side, last Sunday being
the eighth. A comparison of the
records for last year and this
year in the matter of attendance
however, convinces us that, al
though we did not carry off first
honors, the contest was decidedly
worth while, for the books show
an increaseof attendance that av-
erages almost 100 per cent over
the corresponding eight Sundays
of last year.
Those who attended Christian
Endeavor last Sunday evening
found the meeting a very helpful
one. The subject was Work
and the leader was Grace Van Ar
nam. With the return of cooler
weather we hope for renewed in
terest in Endeavor work. The old
er church members are urged to
cooperate with the Endeavors
and to encourage them by attend
ing meetings and joining in dis
cussion of the subjects. :,

Nocate of pease, reluctantly adj.
mits that the overturning of tn.

conquest which pcrmeatcs near.,
every nation of the earth. has
placed the United States in tho
most precarious position of it:

We all love peace and want
peace, but we fear that in TIN,
present temper of the world, tho
only positive guarantee of peace
is to possess the means of thrash.

The presidents ideas along this
line are good.
Let us have a great army OF

willing to acquire some know

perform those duties i'm the face

Our Darling
Death sought and found our lit

And would his soul away
Leaving as if-in mockery
His beautiful lifeless clay.
Sadly We shrouded his little form
Smoothed back his silken hair
And folded DER the silent breast
The little hands so fair.
The soft clear voice is silent,
The bright face hid from view;
The sweet frail flower has per-
ished,
That i'm our household grew.
a little silent lonely grove,
Is now our darling's bed;
Tread lightly near the little
mound.
Wake not our lovely dead.
