TIMELY THOUGHTS FROM JEN- NIE. ¢ Dear Sisters of the Sucial Corner: Now that the long looked for Merry Christmas is over, our thoughts turn to the dawn of the New Year. Only a. few pages remain in the book of history for 1916, and it is closed. As we stand on the threshold between the old and the new year, most of us will pause with serious thoughts. As we turn the leaves bael the me- mentoes are mingled with smiles and tears; while the fair pages of the morrow are blank and we ponder g‘m nnlll::n tbe ‘written thereo; of one year hence. Those of us who treasure an auto- h album perhaps having received| as a gift, during the days of our school period, may realize that each means fore and more to us. 2 ¥m it Ii% is a pleasure to read over those Sentiments, many written by a youth- ful hand, and Whose thoughts were looking forward, in the expressions of “wed cake,” and good wishes for “your little canoe with plenty of room for two,” etc. That future, which our dear young friends, so kindly extend- ed their best wishes for is the present time with us now. In some cases the pen of the writer was laid aside many years ago, and they did not live to see the fulfillment of their jest and mirth. As we glance on the page, which bears the signa- ture of a beloved teacher of the Sun- day school, how the thoughts crowd our mind, the associations, the scenes of our early church life, all seem ‘to come before us at once. There is the name of our mést in- timate girl friend,’to whom we told our choicest secrets, in those days, the handwriting looks as if she could al- most speak aloud to us now. Then there are others, who" were not the “girl” friends and of whom it is best It?firemember in friendship, and say ttle. We may extend our fgood va-es for the new year, and hope fdJ a happy and better life than in thé& past, yet we may expect the sun will not shine every day, and the clouds will over- shadow at times, yet in purpose teo fulfil “a glorious sunset.” . Kinda wishes to all. JENNIE. A LITTLE STORY. Dear Sisters of The Social Coerner: As a new contributor to The Cor- ner, I am rather bashful about going ahead, and hope you will allow me to slide in as gracefully as ‘possible. Being personally acquainted with some of you I do not feel as though T was all alone amongst strangers; ard as I ¢annot recall any recipes offhand, I $hall endeavor to amuse you with a true story, one of the participants be- ing 2 member.of The Corner, and in order not to give her away, I shall sub- stitute the name of Thompson. in place of the real name. ‘The eveninz meal had just been fin- ished, and Mr. and Mrs, Thompson had adjourned to the sitting room to devour the contents of the evening pa- per, while the two children had gone to pl.lylng on the floor, and were mak- ing considerable noise, to say the least. Mrs. Thompson was earnestly scan- ning through the items - of interest, when she suddenly came upon a para- sraph which shocked her comsiderably. Her husband, just ready to light his pipe, noticed the change of expression crossing the face of his wife, and said, “Annie, what is the trouble?” “The house of our next door neigh- bor was robbed last night, and I never knew a thing about it until this very minute when I read of it in the pa- per,” replied Mrs. Thompson. “That certainly is a surprise, An- nie,” replied the head of the house, “and it is rather strange that we should not have heard of it hefore now.” They continued to talk about it for some time, and gradually the conver- sation drifted into other channels, and lifie robbery was forgotten until bed time. The children were in bed and Mr. and Mrs. Thompson weye preparing to go, when she asked him if he was sure all the windows were secure for the night. He replied they were, and they soon seitled down to a comfortable night's sleep. Mrs. Thompson soon fell asleep, while her better half was only dozifng in_light slumber. ’, It seemed ages, but In reglity was less than an hour, when M:® Thomp- son awoke with a start and began to listen intently, expecting to hear neis- es, for he felt that something out of the ordinary had caused him to awake. He still lay quiet, without even wak- ing his wife, the only audible sound being that of his heart, beating many times too fast, ~and the incessent snoring of his better half. Not being able to stand the sus- pense any longer, he jumped from the bed, and tried to pierce the darkness of the next room. There, directly in front of him, at the opposite end of the room stood a man of his own size, facing him. Mrs. Thompsont was soon awakened by hearing her husband calling, “Hello, there! Hello, there! What Do you want in here?" Upon hearing no one answer te his questions, she shrieked, “John, whe are you to?" “There’s someone in the next room* replied Johm, whereupon Mrs. Thomp- son jumped to the middle of the floor, in order to protect her husband from any unwelcome invaders. “I don't see or hear anyone, John,” replied she. £ “Right there! Can't you see?’ re- torted John and instantly Mrs. Thomp- won just fell upon the bed, her sides shaking with laughter, and tears roll- ing down her face. “John, that is your own self you see in the large mirror,” she shrieked be- tween laughter and tears. =1 changed the room about today, and hung the large mirror over there,” to the place where a few mo- ‘ore John had seen the man.
