THERE ALL RIGHT.
i ♦ The occasion was a church social, J and one of the speakers dwelt at some length on the power of the individual workers to make any congregation an outstanding centre of usefulness in the district. If aU made it a point to get j to the " bottom of their resources," the ; vitality of their churches would be j much more pronounced than it was. As an illustration he gave tbe following story: — A gentleman went out shooting on a Highland moor, accompanied by a local ghillie. Coming upon a marshy bit of ground, the sportsman remarked : " That looks like a bog," and asked, "Has it a bottom?" " Oh, ay," replied the guide. Satisfied that all was well, he boldly stepped on, and found himself suddenly engulfed. Looking round as he felt himself disappearing, he wrathfully shook his fist at the unconcerned ghil- I lie, and yelled out, " I thought you said this confounded place had a bot- j torn." ' j "So it has," came the calm and Oe- ' liberate answer, " but ye've no cum tul'tyet." >
