HOW OLD MAJOR PREACHED
A SERMON.
Deacon Hartley and hie family
were always faithful at the Sabbath
service, and they were always in
their places on time, Mr. Hartley's
father had brought tum up in this
strict old way. "Never go ]ate to
service James," he was wont to say.
"Make it part of your religion never
to disturb the religion of others."
And the pastor always knew
could rely upon Deaoon Hartley
and his family. If the choir was
a little late about getting there, Mr.
Hartley would etart a hymn, and
the Bartley children would sing
with a force that made itself felt.
111egularly every Sabbath, at len
o'clobbk:,.Old Major, the horse would
draw up to the church door, while
the deacon would unload the heavy
carry -all, and afterward go unguid-
ed to the church shed built for his
epeeist nse. Rain or thine, they
were always there. Deacon Hartley
was no dry weather Christian.
Years before, when the deacon
married, he and Mrs. Hartley form-
ed the resolution never to stay at
Boole from service unless kept by
the hand cf God. And they had
always followed the plan.
Religion in the deacon's family
was it very simple thing. To be a.
Christian was to be like Christ. And
their lives in the church were use-
ree- Ifni and happy, because they kepi
themselves uiwaye in the warm
atmosphere of God's love.
But there camp at last a Sabbath
'when even Deacon Hartley lresitat•
ed. At daybreak a cold east storm
set in, and the ram fell in heavy
gusts which sent a chill through
the frame. As the day advanced
the storm increased. while the
encore shivered as lie viewed the
weather from the kitchen window.
—"What about it wife," he said.
"We would be under cover of the
carryall, but old Major would have
to breast it, and a righteous man
xegardeth Lha life of his beast."
The result was that .Deacon
Bartiey's family composed them-
selves to a quiet Sunday at home.
"Father," said James, "old
Major has broken bit halter, and I
cannot find him anywhere." This
was at about twelve o'clock, just as
Mrs. Hartley was preparing the
noon meal.
The deacon donned his gum
coat and a searoh was instituted,
but'no Major could be found, and
,the dismayed family met in con-
sultation as to what should be done.
"Here he comes," cried Harry.
A.nd sure enough, old Major came
trotting eedatelyin the yard, halted
a moment at the gate, end then
went 0n hit way and outeeed the
open stable door.
"Bless wy heart," said the
doaoon, "If Idon't believe the old
veteran has been. to the eburch in
Spite of everything,"
And sure enough, at just .live

—Add a very few deeps of nitro to
a teaspoonful of water, dip a feather
into this mixture and touch the
inkspots with it. When the stain
disappears rub the spot at once
with a rag wet with clear water,
then dry and polish. This is to
prevent a white mark coming in
place of the stain.
