The Wingham Times, 1895-06-14, Page 7Aunt Idltty's Deficit. SELECTED, It was Missionary Sunday, and Aunt Hitty was getting Treacly for Meeting. She bad wheeled the deacon's chair to the front window, put the Bible and the church paper on the stand by his side, and shut the cat into the back shed, lest she Might take a fancy to make a. •cushion of the deacon's swoolon feet. It seemed heartless to leave the poor Man alone and hecples', but since he .could not hear the sermon himself the next best thing to do would be to hear Ilitty's report of it; what was said, how it seemed to' move the brethren and how the collection turn- ed out, 'l u WINGIIAM TIMES, ?JUNE 14 If Daniel only were here he certainly ship, for thou inayst be no loner I would give that extra five dollar's-- I steward." just to think,. that would nutke up "That's so, Bitty," said the deacon for fifty members, and they could do solemnly, "I dunno but I Tright as.! it as well as not, IIer hand fumb- ling for her handkerchief, touched the wallet, and an electric thrill rain through her as slie seized and jerked thankful for." it out in a frantic hllste.

She took the big black wallet from the top drawer in the bureau and brought it dutifully to the deacon, 'who ( opened it with his clumsy 'fingers and extracted a carefully folded five dollar bill. ' "1 have been keepin' that bill •ever since I sold the russet apples. I like to have clean money for the e'llection; seems better, somehow." "1 s'pose you don't feel that you •could go over five dollars this year, do ye, Deng? You know it's going to be a tight squeeze to bring up the amount to last year, and the board's an debt they say—" "I don't feel's I can, Bitty," said the deacon, resolutely strapping his wallet. "I did plan to double up, nnebby, if things went right; but here I be with a doctor's bill, and 'can't c'llect a cent of that int'rest money. The board had no business to go in debt—'tain't sound policy." "I don't see but it's the same kind •of policy you trusted to, Dan'l," said Aunt Bitty, with some spirit. "You ,promised to give the Lord ten 'steadfive, and now you dollars of e, 'can't do it because "Liphlet" Sanders don't pay you that int'rest." "I didn't promise, IIitty. I was only considerin'.

He saw his wife's comfortable figure moving up the village street; he watched John Ainslee drive past • with his little family, and noticed that a new spoke had been put in the near hind wheel; he followed the :stooping form of Deacon Hapgood with the satisfied reelection that if he did have rheumatism by spells he stood as straight as ever when he • could stand at all. And then the bell stopped ringing, and the Carters trooped by, breathless and late, as they always were; somcllow the 'Carters never diel quite catch up with things. into her face, with the full conviction The clock struck and the deacon that she had. gone crazy. took his powders; he put on his "I ain't crazy, Dan'l ; you needn't spectacles and tried to read a little, stare at me in that way.

I'So I do," said Aunt Bitty, "but I can tell you, Dan'', when it would be terrible depressing to have ti deacon, complacently, and Aunt Hitty gave a queer little chuckle •to herself and said no more. That night the deacon could not sleep. It might have been the mince pie which he insisted upon eating, or it might have been too much company ; but after much groaning and sighing, lie ventured to ask absurdly. "Be yoo asleep, Bitty ?" "No," said. Aunt Hitter, cheerfully, rousing herself from an awful dream in which she had seen herself riding in a gorgeous chariot, over a road paved with prostrate heathens. "I can't seen] to sleep," said the deacon, "and somehow that deficit keeps running in my mind ; does seem a pity to have it come on the missionaries." "Well," said Aunt IIitty, "If that's all, you can go to sleep with a clear conscience. It ain't coning on the missionaries, not our part of it, any- how ; it's a coming 00 us, We've got a de -fie -it ourselves, Dan'l ; we are just half a buggy short.

Well, the minister preached a powerful sermon, made a most touch- ing appeal, and then the collection was taken. It barely equalled that +ef the previous year.
