A few moments he spent twisting his

threatened to euin the solemnity of
of the wdrshippers under the gallery,
till finally he seemed to hit upon the
pitch,' desired, and thrteeing beck his
head and wising. One eye, he proceeded
on his way. Each line he chanted elone,
after the ancient -Scottish custom, af-
ter which the congregation jonied with
1 hint in the tune. The custom aurvived,

There they sat and sang and weaver-

in an, ecstasy, of restful joy. •
•: Maimie had. often heard St.' Paul's
before, but never as it was chanted by
Straight Rory and sung by the In-
dian Lands congregation that day. The
extraordinary slides and elurs almost
obliterated- the notes of the original
tune, and the "little kick," as Maimie
called it, at the end of the second
line, gave her a little' start.
"Auntie," she whispered, "isn't it
awfully queer?" • • .
"Isn't it beautiful," her aunt ans-
wered, with .an uncertain sinile. She
was remembering how these winding,
slurring old- tunes . had affected her
when she first heard there in her hus-
band's church years ago. The state-
ly movement, the weird quavers, and
the pathetic cadences had in some
mysterious way reached the deep
pieces in her heart, and before she
knew, she had found the tears co
hg -down her cheeks and • her bre h.
catching in sobs. Indeed, as she lis-
tened today, remembering these old
impressions, the. tears began to flow,
- till Huglitie, not understanding, crept
over to his mother, and to comfort her
slipped his hand int o• hers, looking
fi ercely at Maimie as if elle were to
blame. Mairni,. too, noticed the tears
and sat wcinderine_ and as the congre-
gation swung on ithrough the verses
of the grand old psalm there crept
into her heart a new and deeper emo-
tion than she had ever known.
"Listen to the words, Maimie dear,"
whispered her aunt. And as Maianie
listened, the noble words, borne on
the mighty -swing of St. Paul's, lifted
up by six hundred voices—for men,
women, and children were sing -in
with all their hearts—awakened
echoes from great deeps within her•
as yet emsounded. The days for such
singing are, alasl long gone. The
noble Inithm, the stately movement,
the continuous curving streant of
melody, that once marked. the praise
service of the old Scottish church have
given place to the light, staccato tin-
kle of the revival chorus, or the shorn
and mutilated. skeleton of the ancient
psalm tune: .

Before the close, however, the minis-

own people. Old, and young,seeterie and
present, the sick, the weary, the ein-

a -warmth of sympathy, with a direct -
nes of petition, andwithan earnest-
ness of appeal that thrilled and sub-
dued the hearts of all, and ,made even
the boys, who had borne with diffi-
culty the last half hour of the long
prayer, forget their weariness.
The reading of Scripture followed
the ,prayer. In this tile minister ex-
celled. His fin, voice and. his dram-
atic instinct ttombin.ed to make thisi
h.n impressive and beautiful portion
of the service. But to -day much of
the beauty and impreseivoness iof the
reading was lost by the frequent in-
teruptions caused by the entrance of
late centers, of whom, owing to the
bad roads, there were a larger puny
ber than usual. The minister was evi-

wards the door, and announced: "My
dear people, here coma' our friend
Malcolm Monroe, and his good wife
with him, and a long walk they have
had. Come away; Malcolm, come a-
way; we will just wait for you
Malcolm's face was a picture. Sur-
prise, astonishment and confusion fol-
lowed each other across his stolid
countenance; and with quicker pace
than he was ever known to use in his
life before, he made his way to his
seat. -No sooner had the reading be-
gan again when once more the door
clicked. True to his promise, the
minister paused- and cheerfully an-
nounced to his people: "This, my
friends, is John Campbell, whom you
all know as 'Johnnie Sarah,' and we
are very glad to see him, for, in-
deed, he has not been here for smile
time. Come away, John; come away,
man," he added impatiently, "for we
are all. waiting for you."
Johnnie Sarah stood paralyzed with
amazement and seemed uncertain
whether to advance or to turn and
flee. The minister's impatient com-
mand, however, decided him, and he
dropped into the nearest seat with
all speed, and gazed about him as if
to discover where he was. He had
no sooner taken his seat than the door
opened again, and some half-dozen
people entered. The minister stood
looking at them for some moments.
and then said, in a voice of resig-
nation: "Friends, these are some of
our people from the Island, and there
are some strangers with them. But
if you want to know who they, are.
you -will just have to look at them -
yourselves, for I must get on . with
the reading."
Needless to say, not a soul of the
congregation, however, consumed with
curiosity, dared to look around, and
the reading of the chapter went
gravely on to the close. To say that
