How Little Girl Saved te Communion


Service.


In the course of an address to the child
rem, the Rev. Charles p. Dorset, Rector of
the Church of the Ascension, Chicago,
ILL.,, recently related the following strik-
ing incident


"a poor widow sent me dollar and
thirty-three cents, III silver change, saying
that it was all she found in her dead hus-
bands pocket-bOok, and she wanted to
give it to God.


told this to the children and their
parents i'll the Church of the Ascension, in
Chicago, and they soon found way to use
this widows mite for Cod They said
we will make a Communion Service of
it, So they added to it their gold rings
and pieces of jewelry, and pOcket-pieces of
cup, and so they kept on adding pieces of
silver and gold till we had enough and
then the artist made us u very beautiful
chalice and paten all of silver and gold.


Now [ must tell you what came of it,
and that shall be my second story. When
that dreadful fire which destroyed our
churches and homes in Chicago was seen
approaching our little church, a little girl,
seven years old, came with her father to
sec WndI Iney cOulu save. IL was IOuT
o'clock i'll the morning, and there was no
light except what came from the fire. But
little Louisa Enderli found the COmmu-
Mon Service and saved it. She was soon
lost from her father, and for four weary
miles she made her way among the crowd
OF people who were hurrying away from
the burning district.


" The wind blew the burning sand and
cinders in her eyes, and almost blinded
them but she defended them as best she
could with one hand, and clung to her
precious treasure with the other, refusing
to give it up till she had It i'll place of
safety. For three days she was lost from
her father, she having been sheltered and
cared for by a kind German family. When
her father at last found her, she threw her
arms about his neck, saying, % papa, l
saved the communion | saved the Com
munion But even then she could not
give it up till she had placed it safely in the
Rector's hands. Now, children, l think
that was an act of Christian herOism
worthy of the martyrs who died for the
Lords sake in the older days"

They seem afflicted with that fatal weak

shape it. The Liberal Republicans have
lost great opportunity in Connecticut,

war-ready insight and unflinching cOur-
age.

Republican journals or leaders, and no
earnest man will care straw what the
Cincinnati Convention does, or forbearS to

The Democratic party will waste no
more breath on the Liberal Republican
leaders, but will hereafter appeal directly
to the people. The leaders fear that if they
break with the Grant wing of the party,
they will not be renOminated for Congress
or will lose their offices The OpOOle are

A GGoD MovE.-The High School Glass
OF '72 has recently taken action in regard to
the class party of the graduates which will
commend itself to the good sense of all in
terested, When the school numbered less
than hundred pupils, the class party was
small and quiet social gathering. But for
several years past it has become large and
formal, and very expensive to those who get
1t up. For these reasons many of the gradu-
ates and most of the community have lost
their interest in it. Each class, however, on
whom it has devolved to give the party, has
been unwilling to take the responsibility of
OF giving it up. But the young ladies of the
class of '72, by vote of eight-nlnths of their
members, soon released the class of III,
from their obligation to give the party; and
this action was unanimously endorsed by the
young men of the class, who added a request
to the graduating class of II that they will
not give party; and they ask their co-opera-
tion in bringing about discontinuance of
what has little interest in it as school affair.


When the High School Alumni Association
gets more fully to work, it can probably ar
range for an occasional reunion that will be
less expensive and more satisfactory.
