CHURCH PRESENTS AUTOMOBILE
 TO REV A H. ARROTT


 Rev. Alexander H. Abbott, pastor of the United Congregational church, was a puzzled man when Walter F. Lester arose at the close of the prayer meeting Thursday evening and requested per mission to speak word. The pastor had closed the meeting with prayer and had started to leave the platform when Mir. Lester rose to his feet.
 MT. Lester's opening words did not help to enlighten MT. Abbott but evil dently rather increased his wonderment at what the speaker was trying to get at MT. Lester spoke of his recollection of the old custom of giving opportunity for personal testimony and experience, which seemed to have been relegated to the background in this meeting. and went on from this to speak in warm terms of the regard which the church had come to feel for MT. Abbott.
 T don't know what you're getting at, . broke in the pastor with an amused and puzzled smile, but if you've got any thing on your mind go ahead and get il off"
 The mystifying talk by Mir Lester went on with warm praise of MT Alb bolt for his work during the past ter months while he has been with thu church. At each new admirable qualit! in the pastor which MT. Lester brough to mind Mir Abbott would shake hi head in protest until at length MT Les ter was ready to reach the real end O l his speech. This came when he sai l that the church had decided there wa one more field in which they had decide the pastor must show his ability an | that was as a chauffeur.
 1 As MT. Lester reached this point in hi masterpiece of circumlocution he steppe to the platform and presented Mir. Al bolt. on behalf of the congregation check to be used in the purchase of a automobile, a gift from the congregatio for the pastor and his family.
 For several minutes MT. Abbott coul make no response, but when he had rt covered composure he expressed h warm appreciation of those who had $ 1 completely surprised him with this gif summing it up when he said that thought the congregation of the Unite Church was composed of the most woI derfuI people in the world.

St. HeIena's New Value.

Before the opening of the Suez canal, says the London Times, St. Helena was very important possession of the British crown, as it was q station on the outward and homeward long sea route between England and Inlia. But from 1870 to the time of the Boer war the population dwipdled; it's in- dustries and it's usefulness to the em- pire decreased.
 Since the beginning of this century. however. it has been regaining value. Its climate is admirable. its rainfall sufficient, it's 200 springs of pure water lend themselves to irrigation and make the interior. away from the precipitous barren cliffs that face the sea, "an em- erald set in gray lava"
