cant given in the Simpson Methodist

the religious census, which has been
/ under way here, proved a great sue,
cess. b huge auditorium of the
church was filled to capacity and the
audience was greatly delighted with
the scenes as they appeared. No ad-
mission was charged, but a silver Of
fering was taken up during the eve
ming,

1igious education in the home. Dur

of temper, cruelty, selfishness and
falsehood. The stage was darkened
and the spirits wrecked the home in
general, throwing the Bible under a
chair and otherwise bringing unhap-
piness to the family.
The third scene portrayed the City
Beautiful. This was a beautiful scene
and showed q city of happiness with
religious education. In such a city
there Ia no unhappiness, no sickness,
no selfish spirit and showed what is
possible through the work Of the
church and Sunday school. The spirit
Of the city beautiful was followed by

dusk of the Little House. I shall
never smell that peculiar fragrance
of damp green things and fresh earth
that watts at nightfall from a thirty

thrill that came over me as I looked
at the Little House .

'You-like it, Dolly?" said Randy
In a stffied voice from close behind
my shoulder.
I wheeled upon him suddenly, and
again caught that look in his face
that had puzzled me nee before.
Like it! Randy-what is your
idea of a real home?"
"A-a place Of shelter" he sale
softly, "a place where love Is

"Yes-but it's more than that
When I look at this little house OF
yours and Joan's, I feel what a home
truly Is. It's the souls body, Randy,
It's q place for all your thoughts and

that it was all in the making.
Joan put the curtains up" he
went on, 80 it wouldn't have a
stark-staring look when you saw 1t.
I started the garden and the tea
arbour and the fountain and the
flowers because I knew you loved
outdoor things.
I'VE thought, Joan and I, that If
we kept writing you about them,
you'd begin to want to see 1t all. We
