QUAD. |Copyrl*ht.' tWK, by Associated Literary Press. I When It bad been Una My dec ided to erect h cburcb building for a cer tain sect at Cbarlestown there came the question of tbe site. It was a scat tered village, and there were many old that wanted (tie building ns cl>He to them an possible. There were otliern tba> ibought the site that would show off the cburcb to tbe greatest advantage.and that at tbe same time could be bought (be cheapest. was the one to be selected It wasn't to be anything grand, but if located right it | would make up for that In a measure It took six months to settle tbe ques tiou of the site. Oue faction wanted It on the crept of a bill and the other at tbe end of the bridge over the river Deacon Henderson owued one site and Deacon Kruzer the other, and em h wantud S2OO for the land Each be came the leader of a faction. At first nil the talk was in a gno) 1 untuh-d way. ns becomes such a. sub ject. but ns time went on acrimony ' crept In and argument became dls | pute. The pastor was anxious to sec the building under way. but he could not favor either faction. He could simply counsel brotherly love, and when brotherly love Is stretched too far It gels pretty thin and weal; , Deacon Henderson, who owned the bill i site, went about saving: "You can put a cooper shop most I anywhere, but when It comes to a | meeting bouse there's only one place I for It. and that's on a hill, If there ! are any bills nround. I most tbiuK ! that's what tbe Lord created bills for." "Oh. Deacon Henderson may talk that way." Deacon Krazer would reply I "but he's all wrong. You put a meei -Ing house on u bill and you make n circus of It." j The dispute Anally resulted ID tbe ; hilltop being offered at half price. nnl , the congregation accepted the offer ! The minister went to bed that uiglit with thankful heart, and a great sigh [of relief passed over the towo. Ever.x thing seemed to be settled at last, and ' meu began preparing the foundations !of the«i>uilding. But there are wheels j within wheels. Deacon Krazer had hecu defeated on tbe site, but be bad I a shot in reserve. When tbe frf me of the building was up and roofed over be brought out statistics to show that nine-tenths of the church build Ings struck by lightnlug were build lugs staudlng on bills. Tbere w:i* every chance that this one would hi st ruck He wanted It understood that he would "ever euter It of a Sundu , w hen there seemed the slightest chauci of a tbuuderstorm. His faction fol lowed him lu his argument, ami tbere was another wrangle on baud. If ids site had beeu chosen tbere was a big walnut tree that would have deflected and received any thunderbolt on lt« way to destroy the church. "Yes, we know that a building ou u hill is more exposed to lightning than a building in a hollow," Deacon Hen dersou would reply, "but we are go ing to prepare for that. We shall put up a lightning rod. It'll catcb all the thunderbolts that come along aud run 'em Into the ground. We don't care bow much ground they tear up, so's they let the churcb alone." It was the era when men piuned their faitb to lightning rods and defied old Jove to do his worst. It was set tied that a rod ou the church would do tbe business, aud uow all disputes seemed to be ended. The truce lasted Just four weeks. Tbe building was more than half finished when Deacou Krazer came to the front to stir up things agalu. He had glfen the mat ter of that lightning rod mucb thought, aud he had come to the conclusiou that it was flying lu tbe face of Provldeuce to put one up. It was saying to the Lord that they couldn't trust him. Deacon Henderson was hard put to answer arguments. They were a sort of deti to the other faction. If the churcb had l>ecn built In the hoi* low the Krazer faction would have de pended on Providence. Now that I' was being built ou a hill the Hender son faction was going to give Provi dence the shake aud go to the expense of SIH) to put up a lightning rod. Were they whole Christians or half Chris tluns? If they believed that man was greater than Providence, then Satan would be glad to see the building (lu Isbed and dedicated. Here was a yawning pit and but oue way to bridge It. The lightning rod faction tool, that way by announcing that there would be uo rod. Everything would be left to Providence. This really ended all dispute. Deacou Krazer tried hard to think of some other point, but nothing would occur. OtSly when he and the other deacon would meet he would shake his head aud say: "I duuuo about that cburcb, deacou Gimme a church in a holler, with a big walnut tree five rods away, aud I'll trust Providence for the rest." "There she Is, right up on the hll!,"| Deacon Henderson would reply, "and we're asking Providence to protect her without the help of any trees." The church had been dedicated a month wheu there came a terrible storm one night. Klrst tbe wind blew with fury, and then tbere came rain and thunder and lightning, and all of a sutiden a crash,J^at^ lifted half the town out of bed. When tbe storm ceased it was found that the walnu' tree In tbe hollow had been struck ami shivered and that tbe churcb ou the Sill had been blown from its founds Hons and rolled down tbe hillside inti the creek. Then at ouce arose the question. "Which did Providence hit first?" And today, after a lapse of five yean. It la still an Undecided que# Hon " ■ ..... _ ___ _ All Kinds of Repairing and Plumbing ' Gasoline and Steam Engines REPAIRED ' • v y " * ■ ' \ ' #- v, 'f ;■ -..V - » Stumps Removed Quickly at ..
