been postmstress at Littleford for
u years. and it was said that she
knew the handwriting of every man,
woman and child in the village. And
gosslps whispered that Myra always
read messages on picture postals be-
fore handing them through the window
to their indignant recipients.
Outside the closed window was an
expectant crowd pressing close to the
pigeon-holcs, watching Myra and her
assistant as they pobed letters into
the boxes and twisted their necks in
a vain endeavor to read addresses, for
Iiyrn had a most aggravating way of
putting letters in with the addresses
upside down.
All the time Myra was sorting the
mail her eyes were wistfully searching
for a letter addressed to herself-for
Myra Watts had never received a val
entlne during all her 40 years.
"Humph =" she shifted impatiently,
as she thrust large embossed en-
velope into box, "that Timpkins boy
has sent a valentine to Lissy Edwards
i wonder what her mad say If she
i.new 1t? And here's one he's sent to
May Weeks-the impudent young
puppy-and here's-one-for Ella-I
wonder2" Mura deftly tucked the
fancy envelope into her own private
box, and. having finished distributing
the mornings mail, pushed open the
window and proceeded to hand 1t to
the eager girls and boys who pressed
into the tiny post office.
The last one to appear at the win
dow was Ella Flagg. the little milllner
whose shop was next door to the post
office. Ella was a faded blond, with
light blue eyes and face that once
had been vivaciously pretty, but now
was sad and wistful. People had de-
cided that Ella Flagg had begun to
droop from the moment that VIII
Chandler left Littleford and went to
California. Some wondered whether
Ella ever heard from VIII, but Myra
could have told them that she did

Il am no speaker" said General
Summerall, but anyone is able TO
talk on such a subject as the work
of the Y. NJ. C. A. in the war"
General Summerall spoke elo-
quently on the great service the Y.
NJ. C. A. rendered, and said in sub
stance:
THE browning inspiration of the
Y. NJ. C. A. was sending the splendid
women. who brought the spirit of
the mothers and sisters TO the SOL
diers. They sustained the splendid
morale of the army and were a real
factor in winning the war"

not that David would lay aside his en-

Again. Matthew 3 "a reads: leave

Thy way; first be reconciled 10 thy
brother and then come offer thy gift"
Che idea is not that the man at the
altar shall lay aside his displeasure
against his brother. Instead. IL IL the
brother who has somewhat against
him and reconciliation is brought
about when the brother Is led to lay
aside his displeasure.
So. In V. 10 Of our text, where Paul
SAYS: when we were enemies we
we're reconclled to God by the death
~ his Son" he can have In mind only
Gods laying aside Of his enmlty against
us.
This Is brought out by the fact that
V. 10 Is parallel TO V. ., where he
speaks Of "being justified by his

 Loafing along the submarine lanes, under orders to reveal her ideniy to neither friend or foe, the Whittemore found herself not only the enemy of the U-boats, but held in none too respectful auspicion by Allied vessels.
