for an appropriation of 1100,000 for
the purpose of removing tho houses
forming the modern town of Iteaina,
which le located orrr Hercular.eiim and
an appropriutlun of f $3,000 for the

Tli good propla of th church bad
Arcdtd Ibat KimKhlng mint t done, and
at oner. Th treaaurtr, a young man,
who had recently come to th Tillage, had
mad a fluinrlat alatement that Octolwr
HunUay morning, uton which ceruln tier
on a frit very much aramUliml, Huch a
thing bid nrrrr lieen don In-fore not
ci en thought of; thrn It rerealrd the fact
that the Itrr. Vrlry Norwood had re
ceived but Jo 1. 75 for alt month ot faith
ful ii-rrlee. -
"I dou't believe In bringing up aurh
matter in tha rrllgloua nerrlce of th
church," growlnl Ilrothrr Cook, who al
waya iiroteatrd that It waa a wata of
money to pay tb mlnlater ao much ail
ary.
"I quit agree with you," re-ijxinited
Mr, ilarnr. He waa not a member of
the church, hut attrndnl hrcauw It wai
a rratM-ctabl thing to do gave you atand
Ing. "If thr things mutt cwme up ev
ery Kunilay, I ahall attfud church ele
where." Notwllhatandlng thla. It wai pnrally
agrernl that It was a ahame, and wme
thing muat tie done. Hut wbrn thing had
gone In a haplvaiard way ao long It wa
no raxy nutter to face right about. Af
ter aeveral week of drllheratton, the nee
canary aimtethlng aeemed ai far from ao
coniplUhment a ever.
"It's too ImiiI lh.it they do not colWt
the ;uitor'a aalary," remarked Mr. Hun
ter at th I-adlri' Aid meeting. Who she
meant by "they" wa not entirely clear,
Inaamueh aa ah waa one of the officer.
"If no one elan will do anthing, wa
muat," rejoined Mr. Allen j the various
memliers rnxklrd approval.
It wai xoon planned. The pailor had
received J.'l.To; they would pay hlia
f:W.25 fiiaka It even llflO and have
enough left la the trraiury for Incidental
matter. On ThutKday evening of next
week, which was Thanksgiving, they
woulil Invite themielve to the parsonage
and have a good time while making the
paitor happy. It would lie easy to pre-
I par something fxtra while gettlnc ready
lor inanxxginng. n wai io i a grann
secret; uot a soul but members of the
society should know a word ot It.
At tha close of tha builncu roe-Ming
ot tha Young People' League, the presi
dent made a clo scrutiny to auure him
self that all present were members; he
then proioed that, aa "they would not
do anything," the Ieague take up tha
matter.
"I undrtaml that we have nearly
altty dollars In tha treasury; wa could
pay the paator flS-W) bring tha salary
up to $100 and have enough left to pay
all bill and begin tha new year out ot
debt. If we do this I auggest that we
observe the utmost aecrccy and make It
a complete urprlae." All readily agreed
to the ilu and pledged tha proper reti
cence In tha matter.
Four of the moat faithful met after
prayer meeting to discuss the situation,
and decided that they muat at once col
lect MS.2A, the balance ueccuary to pay
the atx month' salary due. This they
proceeded to do ao quietly that no one
aunnlseil a general canvas waa being
mad, llefore Sunday the entire amount
was secured.
Krlday, after school, tho Junior Leag
uers met and decided that Inaamueh aa
tho Kfiwn-Ui folks would not help In the
matter, they would do what they could;
ao they voted to pay over every hit there
va In the treasury. Upon counting
?:i.2.1 was found to. bo the correct
amount.
"Oh, girls 1" cried little Newman, as
he mada aoms figures In the treasurer's
book, "It will make Juat even $7.1 anil I
hopo we can get enough to make It a hun
dred." After the choir had run over the Bun
day hymns, someone proposed that they
pay the proceeds ot the last concert on
the salary. The sum ot (.10.2.1 ; after re
ferring to the margin of hla anthem book,
the choriater reported that It would make
(82 all told. On Thanksgiving morning
they would call at the parsonage and sur
prise tha pastor with a check, tor this
amount, rerliap It wonld omwht
atone for the- sin of whlaprlng daring
th rmnn.
Thanksgiving day waa a trying time for
the Norwood. 'Hi rty was skk tha
night before and kept them awake; and
when lhiy did get to real, they overalnpt.
What with rushing lo get breakfast orer
and make reidy for the service at church,
prayer were xhorleni-d and th chapter
ornltted altogether.
"Oh, Wesley, I nrn o Mredl Every
thing haa gone wrong to-day," said Mrs.
Norwood that afternoon. "The children
niver were ao naughty before. What will
people say about Itotibla Ilghllng7 Tli
fUtvr barrel empty, the potatoes are all
gone, and we bar not a thing In the
hout for breakfast, only bread and but
ter; and the grocer sent n word yester
day that we could not hav another thing
until we paid him. What shall ws do?"
After which lengthy and somewhat Inco
herent p'ecb, she laid her head on hla
shoulder and found refuge In tear.
"Nerer mind, dear; th Iord will pro
vide;" then he slowly addnl, ss If In sn
afterthought, "vrme way."
A few mlnule later Pastor Norwood
waa bowing lo th organist, who allpiJ
a check In hla hand and said properly,
"With the compliment of the choir."
Juat ss they were seated, the door Mi
rang sgain, and thla time the Junior

PRIDE OOETII
Clnctnnntl Pot.
Ix-ague came, and presently the Ladles'
Aid, and last of all the trustees, all add
ing their offerings and crowding th small
rooms. Kach party looked stiffly askance
at the others, wondering by what trick
ery their secret had become known.
After an hour of discourse and son;,
the treasurer arose ami said :
"A few days since our paator had re
ceived but a mere pittance for many
months ot faithful labor. While be had
wrought earnestly for the church and Its
societies, so thst, for the first time In
ears, all were In a prosperous condition,
lie unaelflshly forgot hla own needs. No,
no I Ilrother Norwood, you must permit
me to finish. Then one sodetr and an
other, by some strange coincidence, con
celved the thought of giving the pastor
a pleasant Thanksgiving surprise. It Is
needless to say that we have surprised
each other qulto as well. Hut best ot all,
I find that In tha few days ot unconscious
co-operation, we have increased the
amount paid on salary to Juit fire hun
dred dollars. This shows what we can do
It we all work together, I more you as
a congregation, that we Increase our pas
tor's aalsry from six hundred to eight
hundred dollars a year."
It was carried with a rush, even Broth
er Cook assenting. Pastor Norwood arose,
and with tears of Joy trlckliug down his
cheeks, thanked them simply. Sorn said
they sang the doiology as never before;
at leaat there were two voices that rang
out with a new Inspiration ot faith.
When they were once more at home,
and the children In bed, Wesley Norwood
again took hla wife In Ida arma and open
ing hla llltile at a place much marked and
worn, they read together with the guile
less faith of children, "And It shall come
to pas that before they call, I will an
swer ; and while they are yet speaking, I
will hear."
Centuries Old.
Days of festival thanksgiving have
been celebrated for many centuries. Un
der the old Mosaic law the Hebrews held
an annual harvest festlcal under the trees
and In tenia ot palm. 1 be German Prot
estants have an annual "Harvest Home"
fct.tl-.nl, accompanied by religious ser
vices, and thla custom waa brought to
America by the early Dutch Immigrants.
Thanksgiving for ua to-day la a time
fo. rejoicing that life has been spared to
us and that we bare escaped many dan
gers, overcome wsny trials and enjoyed
many pleasures during the last year. It
Is also a time wheq we should retaetnber
