“Elder unit's Donation. "

ioned country donations? Many of the
reader» have viIIitod them and contri~
bated their mite. Many of these oc-
casions have resulted to the mutual good
of the people and pastor. But some- I
times there was more attention paid to
making “a show," than to affording real
help to the clergyman; sometimes'he
felt more like It victim than a beneficiary
at the close of the evening. 0in of there
