No church member of any faith shook his head, and even the ungodly among the gathering passed their plates for another helping. Both the bazaar and supper were successes from every point of view.

We found, however, that we did not
need them and took them Off after
travelling a few miles. The roads

there are few places where chains
are necessary even after a heavy
