NV to try to get some money
to get the church painted
by Easter. | suppose you
have noticed how dreadfully shabby 1t
is getting to be-"
Mrs. Oscar Holmes, the bankers
wife and the spokesman of the COM
mittee of three. had her little book
and pencil out.
"The church needs more'n a coat OF
tion." Mrs. Waters said almost savage,
~. mo. | don't think you need to
count on me for anything"
The people of Progress had learned
that when Mrs. Waters said mo she
usually meant 1t. "She's SO queer, so
independent, you know" the ladies
said when they got out of hearing dis
lance. 81 don't believe for a minute
it's s%tinginess; it's independence"
"No, It's not stinginess, | know that"
Mrs. Holmes said. because when we
were packing the missionary box and
everybody was bringing second hand
stuff to put in 1t she wouldn't give us
a thing; said she didn't believe in Civ
ing old clothes away and calling ii
charity, or giving to the Lord and
trying to get credit on a report for It.
She said she'd write the m~issionary's
wife a letter and put it in the box.
And, would you believe 1t, she putaa
whole dollars worth Of postage stamps
and a ten dollar bill in that letter, and
we never would have known a thing
about 1t If the missionary's wife hadn't
written back to the society,""
Since the Waters family had moved
to Progress, Ave years before, Mrs.
Waters had certainly earned the repu-
tation of being independent and-well,
queer" The first experience the Prog
ress people had of her "queerness" was
when she refused to borrow and lend
with her neighbors.
"No, indeed" she said, 81 amt that
kind of a woman. l never did believe
In the plan, You lend me your stew
kettle and I'll lend you my frying
pam"
And yet often after this sharp
tongued lady had been cooking the chill
dren might be seen carrying some little
delicacy TO old bedridden Mrs. Fraser.
The neighbor across the way said that
Mrs. Waters had made a little cushion
and sent it over to a crippled child.
The little church In Progress surely
did need a coat of paint. In fact, it
needed paint outside and paint inside,
1t needed plaster. it needed a new floor
and the foundation at one corner was
crumbling. Il believe I'll just go and
jog up Ezra about it," said Mrs. Wa
tiers. And jog Ezra she did to good
purpose.
IF folks would only stop so much
click clackin' o. tongues and ask the
Lord what he'd got TO say about
fixin' up his house they wouldn't have
to do so much chasin' round gittin'
eggs and cream and freezers," she said
to Ezra that night when they were
discussing ii. Do you suppose, Ezra
Waters. that if they'd really got down
On their knees to tell the Lord about
this doin's, if they'd said in serious,
solemn earnest, Lord, we want to
paint up your dwellin' place; we're
kinda ashamed of it-how do you
think we'd better go abont itg and
then waited patiently and prayerfully
for his answer. do you suppose the
Lord would have said. Git uD a socla-

FEDERAL JUDGE
DISMISSES SUIT

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Federal
Judge Hough today dismissed suits in
admiralty brought by James Car
ruthers & Co.. a Canadian corporation,
against Bowering x Co., and the
Greek steamship Anthanasios on the
ground that 1t was advisable to
decline jurisdiction for political
reasons.
The suits were for damages for al
legged breach of a charter of the
steamer to carry coal from this coun-
try to northern Italy The breach Of
the charter, the complanants ad-
mitted, was due to the fact that the
Greek government had requisitioned
the steamer to carry wheat for the
use of the Greek army.
There certainly is no power in any
court of the United States" said
Judge Hough in dismissing the case,
