God says, MY grace is suffic

do all things thru Him who
strengthened me-. Good resolu-
tions that are based on sufficient
strength to carry them out are
good; otherwise they are rather
poor things. We preach Christ
and His power to help us to be
what we ought to be.
Next Sunday is the first Sun.
day in the year 1880, and we
trust many will find in the ser.
vices of the church a source OF
great helpfulness toward that no
ly life without which happiness
is but an empty word.
The Sunday school lessons for
the next six months will be in
the gospel of Mathew. An adult
class will be organized next Sun
day at 1000 a. m. and a welcome
is extended to all who can to
come and profit by this study of
the life of our Lord.
Preaching services at 1900 and
1870. The topic for the morning
sermon is THE Descent of the
Man, an introduction to the
study of Matthew, and based on
the genealogy of the Christ.
We extend a hearty invitation

who have no other church fellow

the hour of midnight ap-
preached, both sweet and sad mem
cries flooded the soul of the unhap-
by girl. For two years last she and
Tom Anderson had held a trysting
New Years party within that very
room. Another had been planned
for this New Year; but Tom had
not come. Now she held her lone
ly vigil, waiting for the first sound
of the usual noisy welcome to open
the sealed resolution he had placed
In her hand the year before to be
opened one year from date.
Things had not gone well with
her and Tom since his return TO
college in September. His letters
had come less frequently, and they
seemed to Anne to grow colder and
colder as the time went by. Per-
haps she was imagining things be-
cause of an unconfirmed rumor
that a fair coed had enthralled
him. Still, she lived on the pros
pect of seeing him during the holt
days and the thrilling plan of open
ing their last year resolutions In
each others presence. But alas |!
She had heard nothing from him
for two weeks, and now the magic
hour was at hand.
Finally, bedlam broke loose.
Midst the uproar and confusion
Anne Caruthers broke the seal and
drew forth a slip of paper to read:
"Resolved. That one year from
date, no matter where | am or what
the circumstances, I'll come to you
again to make one more plea for
a positive answer to my oft-repeat-
ed question"
A smile of disdain twitched about
the of Anne's mouth as she
recalled her own resolution now In
his possession:
"ResoIyed, That nothing will ever
cause me to doubt you until you
yourself tell me that you no longer
care for me-
"Anne!" Then came a soft tap
on the window. Anne! Let me In
quick, Pm f~reezing!"
There was no mistaking that
voice. 1t was Toms. Anne flew TO
the door, flung it wide, and the next
instant was in the arms of her
lover. ooh, Tom, | thought you had

down her cheeks and he tried to
tell of his forced delay on account
of Illness.

There was confusion enough I'm
that house during the rest of the
night. A doctor was obtained and
Tom was put to bed with a had
case of influenza but when all was
over, including the marriage cere-
mony, Tom declared that the risk
of his trip had been well taken.
