refined and genteel-even santimonious-
but she has poison tongue, and she uses
it. She has always sung in the Choir,
and been President of the Ladies Aid",
but she never yet failed to wreck the
church, So would advise you to organize
your Ladies Aid at once, fore she gets here"
Richards had sat listening with bowed
head until now. Signing, and casting
glance out of the window, he arose and
said fervently "Thank you, Mrs. Giber-
I'll try"
During the next two days he made every
effort to organize his Ladies Aid". Others
helped him, and even arranged to fill the
various offices, with the exception of that
of President "Mrs. Hellund was return
ing from an extended visit to the East"
they said, and suggested that "she had
always been President"
Sunday came, and with it, Mrs. Hell
lund. Richards saw at glance that unless
he could "side-track" her in some way,
the old story would be repeated. During
service, he announced the initial meeting
of the new Ladies Aid' which would
be held in the church parlor at 100 P. M.
Monday, following which announcement,
the service progressed, and Mrs. Hellund's
voice rose above all others during the
singing. After service, the pastor shook
hands with her at the door, greeting her
pleasantly; and Mrs. Hellund, with win
some smile and words, announced her
name and wished him success. "Sne surely
would join the Aid" she remarked, and
Richards heart fell,-but he only smiled.
Monday came, and the ladies, thirty of
them, assembled in the Church parlors.
The meeting progressed nicely until the
election of President was at hand. Very
automatically, the Pastor said smilingly
to Mrs. Hellund, "You have been Pres
ident many times, and know much better
than we, who ought to be selected for that
Office" and all nodded as he glanced
around the room.
Mrs. Hellund was nonplussed. This man
had made all her plans awry! She could
not nominate herself!"
Richards insisted that she, as the senior
member, make the nomination, so, with
flushed face, and many "ahems', she
finally said, "Why-a-Mrs. DR.. Scanlon."
A "second" was heard, and the pastor at
once put the nomination to vote. And
it carried! Mrs. Hellund, under her mask
of amiablity, was secretly furious as the
other elections went off as per schedule.
Mrs. Scanlon, was an ignorant woman as
regarded parliamentary rules, and could
not even put motion without help. Thus
"dumbell" became president!
At this moment, Miss Wall and Justice
True, from the deaconess home, entered,
and were cordially received. Miss Wall
gave short but inspiring address, and
welcomed the new organization into the
sisterhood of women's organizations. 1t
was voted to at once begin canvas for
funds to meet the pastors salary, and he
was requested to arrange for weeks re-
vival service. Richards announced that
he would begin them on the following
Sunday, and Miss Wall and Miss True
both offered their services, which were
gladly accepted. Finally, all business
having been attended to, prayer was offered,
and the meetinp adjourned for one week
That evening at dinner, Mrs. Hellund
displayed marked enthusiasm for church

aCtVltleS, and she Degulled Kuth barns
into accompanying her to the homes of the
officers of the Union Church Ladies Aid".
And so eloquently did she discourse UPON
the advisability of the "Union Church"
advancing the date for it's coming supper
and social dance, so as to take advantage
of the renewed interest in the church
work, that they set their date ahead to the
last evening of the revival at "All Saints
Church"
During the week, the canvassing COM
mittee of Cali Saints Ladies Aid" d"gathe1ed
a goodly number of promised subscriptions;
and the committee from "Union Church"
secured an ample supply of good things
for their supper. The revival had been
well attended all week, and considerable
of interest shown, but as the last and "big
night" came around, the supper and dance
proved to be the drawing card, and the
revival registered poor second in the
race. There was as a result a new crop
of animosity engendered, and everone
blamed each other as usual. Mrs. Hellund
laid the blame for the meetings failure
upon the fact that the large, vested chorous
Choir had been borrowed from "First
Church.. "Such hight -faluting "opera"
singing never did appeal to anything but
mans frivolity," she said.
Whereupon the pastor remarked that,
"an Indian might prefer jan2le of TOM
toms to the music of trained chorus; but
he much preferred the chorus!" And an
angry parishoner added "that she could
readily understand how child might
prefer one of those three for-a-dollar
premium" watches to a good one; but
she failed to comprehend how an adult
could do sol" And then in further gust
of anger, she added testily-"Of course
if one is raised on jews-harp, she would
hardly be expected to appreciate piano!"
Just how long this dispute would have
continued, would be hard to say, if the
pastor had not put an end to it by remark
ing-"I think that we are all of us very
wrong to utter these unChristian
thoughts!"
At this moment the heavy melodous
tones of the pipe-organ fell upon. their
ears, and all passed into the auditorium ID
hear the music. The organist paused as
they entered, and Mrs. Hellund cried out
to her-"Oh, what was that beautiful
piece which you were just playing, Miss
Rose?"
Miss Rose smiled sweetly, and replied,
That was "Creation"
'Oh-it was splendid" exclaimed Mrs.
Hellund, forgetting her late antipathy to-
ward "high-faluting opera music.
Richards almost winked at the lady who
had just scored Mrs. Hellund.
"Wonder what had better sing Sunday
norning?" enquired Mrs. Hellund.
ooh my! How fortunate I am to have
brought this. solo with me-just listen"
and the organ poured out melody beau
tifully sweet and tender.
"Pease sing it-that's lovely!" urged
Mrs. Hellund; and again the organ pealed
forth, while the rich contralto voice of the
player sang with great feeling,
81 was wandering sheep

did not love my masters voice;

The singer paused at the conclusion of
the one verse, and turned, expecting ap-
