Mrs. Guthrie, a friend of the pastor. was
waiting stthe parsonage for her mail,

very late that particular evening Al-
though Mr. Davis showed he was very
tired. yet the sister failed to take the
hint until the door opened and in troop-
ed shout seventy-five of his friends, well
laden with the good things of life. be
sides several sums of money. Mr. Davis
and wife were so surprised and overcome
that they could hardly find words to ex-
press their feelings. The friends poured
into the house until the little parsonsge
could hold no more, and “still there were
more to follow," when some of the lead-
ing members of the Sons of Temperance
very kindly offered to open their ball for
the evening, and the company adjourn-
ed tothat place. This was soon filled,
and the evening was spent very pleasant-
ly with social conversation, games and
music.
At 9:30 the company was called to
order, and B. B. Walkley formally pre-
scnwd the pastor and his wife with the
gifts of the evening, with a few re-
marks, which were responded to by
Brother Davis in n ve.y feeling manna,
thanking the friends for their kindness
and telling them it wee not so much the
gifts he should think of as the spirit in
which they were givan. The company
broke up about 10:45, feeling that the
evening would long be remembered in
the hearts of those present.
Some of those present were Mr. and
Mrs. James‘Morris, of Norwelk; Mr. and
Mrs. John Plait and Mrs. F. Smibr-rt, of
Comstock Hill; Mrs. Giles St. John, Mrs.
Fred Fiedler, Thomas James, Fred St.
