ceived it. Mrs. Thomas, l heard a
sermon once by an Episcopalian min
lister on doing good. AS well as 1
pleasure for us to do good, we do not
need any reward, for the pleasure we
received doing the kindness was
enough, and l think so, too. If we
give something, and make a sacrifice
to do it because it's our duty, then
we deserve a reward. Do you be-
lieve in dreams? There's something
strange about dreams [ can't under
stand. Hope we'll get the amount
for the little Armenian.
