Abbott, pastor of the United Congregational church, was a puzzled man when Walter F. Lester arose at the close of the prayer meeting Thursday evening and requested per- mission to speak a word. The pastor had closed the meeting with prayer and had started to leave the platform when Mr. Lester rose to his feet. Mr. Lester’s opening words help to enlighten Mr. Abbott but evi- dently rather increased his wonderment at what the speaker was trying to get at. Mr. Lester spoke of his recollection of the old custom of giving opportunity for personal testimony and experience, which seemed to have been relegated to the background in this meeting, and went on from this to speak in warm terms of the regard which the church had come to feel for Mr. Abbott. “I don't know what you're getting at,” broke in the pastor with an amused and puzzled smile, “but if you've got any- thing on your mind go ahead and get it off.” oy The mystifying talk by Mr. Lester went on with warm praise of Mr. Ab- bott for his work during the past ten months while he has been with the church. At each mew admirable quality in the pastor which Mr. Lester brought to mind, Mr. Abbott would shake his head in protest, until at length Mr. Les- ter was ready to reach the real end of his speech. This came when he said that the church had decided there was one more field in which they had. decided the pastor must show his ability and that was as a chauffeur. As Mr. Lester reached this point in his masterpiece of circumlocution he stepped to the platform and presented Mr. Ab- bott. on behalf of the congregation a check to be used in the purchase of an automobile, a gift from the congregation for the pastor and his family. For several minutes Mr. Abbott could make no response, but when he had re- covered composure he expressed his warm appreciation of those who had = it summing it up when he said that he thought the congregation of the United Church was composed of the most won- derful people in the world.
