On Friday afternoon, Miriam returned with her father Just in time for supper, a supper that was a banquet, for many of the kindly members, knowing of the plan for his enforced vacation, had to make his last dinner at home one to ho remembered. There were baskets of fruit and flowers, tine candies, fragrant home-bakerolls and pantries, rich preserves and delicate jellies, pats of country butter and Jars of cream, chickens all ready for broiling. They were still at the table, merrily recounting the news of the week, the doings of the church, the letters from Helen, when Joplin Westbury came, or rather, was delivered in person, by Kddy Jack son. Joplin Westbury, clearing bis throat In best treasurer-of-the-boarmanner, announced that on behuir of the church he came to present his beloved minister with a two months' vacation on full pay, in order to restore his strength for the great day of the formal dedication. "Mr. this Is Wesllary, this most awfully good of you and the board and the church," said Mr. Tolliver meekly. "It just happens and this may surprise you the doctors advised that I give up work and responsibility for a while, but I simply did not see bow It could be done. I should not have asked It, I assure you. It Is most generous, Joplin, most generous. Girls, I see the band of the Lord In this."
