The People's Journal. PICKENS- S. 0. The Minister's Christmas Present. The minister ot Deerwood was a conscientious mail; moreover, he was very much in earnest, Since his ar rival in their midst, nearly a year ago there were few in his congregation who had not felt the sympathetic touch of his large love. But there wis one to Whom Ilia heart went out in coger sympathy, yet for whom he felt that he hadi(1 done practically nothing. Blanch Mereton led the choir, taught in the Sunday school and helped in all church entertainments. She was a caihn, quiet girl with nothing beautiful about her save her eariest eyes and exquisite voice. Rtumor had it that a couple of years ago she had been not unsuccessfully wooet by the young lawyer over the way; that all estrange ient had come between them-one of those senseless things that spring from such trilles that the cause is last sight of in the effect. Itumor further stated that smnco those troublous times, Blanch had never been like her old self. That the love of her life hlla gone out in tile dark, leaving her the emotionless being nobody understood. it was this ruior that tile minister of Deerwood heard and believed, and it was this young woman toward whom lie felt that he had failed in1 his duty. Time and again lie had resolved to offer her the assistan1hce his calling de manded, only to let each favorable op portunity for speaking slip through his finlgers while he shrallk from intrudingy upon such delicate ground. Truly, fools rush iln where angels fear to trepd. le had compromised with hisi conl science while the stilling suimmer months struggled through their weary existence, telling himself I hat, lie would be itter for the task in the fall. But the busy fall had slippe I away an1d he sat in his study with his Christmas sermon before him, facing tile bitter accusations of a relentless conscieice. Blanch Mereton's quiet, white face rose before himl like a reproach. She wa1s unhappy and lie, h1er minister, ordained by God to administer comfort and consolation, h1ad not imade 1o effort to allay her suffering. Ic plulIged his face ill his hands, goaded by such jain as only an eager, earnest soul may know. To speak to her at the risk of hurting her or to let the glad Christ 11111 tide pass and leave her. lie started lp vith a strong ian'si impulse to tramp away dillicultics, but his eye fell on tile close written shieets and le stopped, starin,(g down at tllem mechanically. Gradually, as lie Stared, the troubled lines left his biow and his eyes began to brighiten. " 'eace oi earti; good will toward Ilien." lie cauglt ui) the written sleets an!d tore them into bits. An hour later, whecn the 01(1 house keeper openied tile (door, she foulndl her young mlaster w ritii eagerly, anid her summilons io teal was received with an absent, shake of tile head.

The tenor, perhaps, woeuld have ie senitedl his turn of thought, but the minlister's counteniamnce was gravely symnpathetic and~ the sick man11 was touched by the tremor in lie pastor's voice, lie little suspected tat it arose from suppjressedl anmxiety lest lie should be recoverimg too rapidlly. "I won't, be ale to maniage the carols,'' lie saidl reluctantly, and the sympathetic pas8teor hiuggedt im self with glee as soon as the doeor closedi behind him. "' Over tile way'' to the lawyei's was a nmtter of a mile or more, b~ut, to this tile muinister gauie not a thlought-eveni though hie had1 had no tea. "Will you s1mg tenor?'' lie asked as lie took possession of the rug before the lawyer's study lire. " Tenor?'' "Yes, in the carols, you know.

There is not another tenor to be hadl. It will spoil our carols.'' The lawyer hiesitatedI, frowning at the lire. " o Look here, Leland, you are a man ofsense andi~ honor. You haive hleardI these conifounded rummors." "' Oh,'' respond~ed the ulmister cheer fully, "' I would not mind that,. llesides I will explain to the lady.'' "Lady, rumor?" "' Yes, amid that, other on.'' " Well, suppose you do touch her on the subject,.

The minister liaughed with nervous j oyousness,5 I'll (1101 you a line to.nor)row" lie saidl as lie wvent, out resolved to see gani with customary directness, as lie drwup aneasy caradlae o. ward to warm his lhiands.

Ile got up to push back a brand of the burning log with the toe at if his boot; his face a little tense in its eagornests. " Certainly not;" the girl's quieti tones fell like a balm oil his fevered pl)ses. Ile turned quickly and caught sa her hands. " Ilow can I thank you," lie smid warmly. She colored slightly and answered hi hiiii with a question about church dec- fo oration. l The minister walked home under the ai clear winter skies and the crisp sod1 seemled to bound beneath his feet,. lie was too excited to think of sleeping or reading; ihe wanted to sit down before his fire and go over it all again. How kind and friendly she had been; what W a delicious cosy half hourl Three days at of choir practice, and then the carols and Christmas (lay. Surely the al thought had been Ileaven-sent. Christ imas (lay would find her happy. It was Christmas eve. The little . church at Deerwood was as Christmas like as cager hands and loving hearts could iake it. Candles glowed amonig the evergreens about the altar and gleamed against the white-berried mis tietoe and the rich red holly. Soft, gray moss wrapped the pillars and fell k in festoons from their capitals. Up in the choir, a man and woman were making linal arrangements and settling last points about the carols. They were standing close together and1 h their bent heads almost touched. The It minister saw them as lie caie out of I the vestry. ' It will be all right," he told him-t self mechanically. In the last busy (lays le had lost sighdt of the iatter, but it camte back to himll now iWhL a rush. lie felt suddenly very tired. Some of the watchful eyes noticed , that their young minister looked rather n white its le came under the strong ligzht over the altar and whispered un easily to their neighbors; but, when he le began to speak they forgot the man in '1 his message. loW cagerly lie told the i old sweet story; how tenderly lie plead- (I ed for the supremacy of that peace and (I good-will. A message leaven-sent, u and right nobly delivered. b It was over at last. The congrega- t< tion drew a deep, quivering breath, the carols rang out tritimpittiily joyous, s and warm hands grasped the minister's with good wishes and blessings. Then g they went away touched and happy, s and the minister turned into the ves- i try. T1hie exhilaration oh excitement d slipped from huni like a garment and a again he realiz'ed that lie wvas tired. Blanch AMeretoin wvas staindmig before I the vestry fire. Ile had forgotten that she was to meet him there, andi the g simzht of her startledl him. I ' Um so glad I had to see you about l the music tomorrow," she saidf frankly. " "It permits me to thank you for,'' she pauisedl and1 added, in a low voice, "' I cannot, tell you what, it has done for w mue. I was nlot really alive before.'' ii "Thank you,'' he replied, gravely. d "' I trust, you will be very happy.'' 3 " Will be? Why, 1 am nuow. I have n been such a selfish creature. I never~ f< realiz.ed what good-wil' meanit. It is si the sunshine of the soul.'' a "' Yes,'' lie said. lIe camne into the u irclight and his face looked bleak and1( g cold. " I wish to offer good wisea " for your hap~piness-and~ IHamlin's.'' t " Ilanilin," she repeatedl. Then o her eyes shot from tinder his and she si tuirned to stolIy the fire. "' So yoti dfid believe that silly rumoi?"' she said ini a a low voice. " Hebeve~? Tell me isn't'' "' No''S T1hie minister movedl and~ stoodl beside y her. ( " I thought it was all settled,'' lie o said ini an undi~ertone, "'and the thought o was--agony." The girl slipped her fingers into hiis half closed pahn11. "1 'n sorry," she saiul vaguely. Ilis hand closeid eagerly on those shim fingers. St "' Blanch I"'. Ii There were voices outside the doori. The rest of the choir was comin'e to the consultation. ' "Pllease, dear,'" lie whispered, ''just one for a Christmas prlescuit.'' .She lifted her lips and gave iL, to him ai right royally. Such was the minister's lo Christmas present.
