It had been another of those years it waa Christmas time fort and Brother Hostet- - f"? s i ", s , ' - deal of discouragement, exhortations to hold fast to the end was what he sustained them with.; for complete discouragement, black and sfcso- -i lute despair, the remedy he perpetually offered was another program. He bad mentioned the program at meeting. Whereupon the miller said he would not sing, neither lead the singing, no. not if fifty angels with harps accompanied him, although he had once boasted to his wife that he could sing like ten thouMnd blackbirds. And 1,1 ge Garside, who was asked to eulo-- I glze Little Zion, said he would not change his manner of thnking If fifty apostles preached to have-foun- Gar-aid- him. ' There were others with whom the aged leader labored, but these two were chief retainers. The only man In Brush Valley who sustained him unpersuaded was Ezra Starkey, and he, he the word of bis. own mouth, had got over giving a darn what happened next. He had been over during the afternoon to borrow a hammer, because having an extra piece cf tin and nothing to do, he thought he might as well f:x another leak In the meeting house roof. "Lon Btiswell," he related., "the old cuss, he says he wont come to meeting because wherever he sits the rain drips down his neck, and it never rains except when he comes to meeting and that isnt enough to do any good. Not that ITs anything to me whether Lon has his sleep out In meeting or to home, but it seems a shame for a man to lose his salvstion on account of a little rain dropping down his neck." ' Thus it wan nd thus, it had been.' bn fhe years of Brother Hostetlers service, 'ykr' - mitted the people had cause to be discouraged, trials so plentiful, and hope so long deferred. From his twilight window he looked out at the 1 surrounding desolation, and the center of his , view was the dry creek bed and some of the asms hopeful creatures that had been there last year, fourscore and eight of them, eyeing one haystack. If he looked farther he could see the houses of his neighbors set between sullen clouds and sodden fields, not one showing Christmas wreath er Christmas light.

"T hope yoj are not thlnklng""of leaving us. Brother Elijah," was Brother Hostetters next conversational venture. 'No, replied Brother Elijah, no, the last horse I hsd got his foot sawed off in the fence yesterday and I cant take the bucket of sorghum and the wife through the sand in a- wheelbarrow. She s a little notion too heavy.So you have fenced, Brother Garside." Brother Hostetter was much pleased to a new hops to rest his conversation on.

I raised Yes, some carrots. If I fe, 1 any wavs glum I go down and count them. I ve got them tn a drygoods box in the cellar. I raised some other crops, too. but carrots were the principal one. Brother Hostetter changed the subject. T was thinking, Elijah, he said, "that in the situation in which we again find ourselves, if we were left alone some of us nvght lose hope. It would be teitir if we came together In the spirit of the seauon and exercise our gifts and talents for mutJal benefit. It has been efficacious before in times of discouragement.

It waa Baragalo, his housemate, returning from distant places and firding that this was so, who went to the room where unused things were kspt and found the Bible they had used together in Punday school. Whether It was his Bible or her Bible neither of them could tell.
