NOT EXPECTED TO UNDERSTANI

The Intended Surprise Became A Matter of Fact Event. Two little girls in one of th« suburbs of Boston,whose ages are re spectively, 4 and 6, are devout an/. Interested attendants at the Episco pal church. Their maternal grand mother resides in Boston and comei of old Unitarian stock. The children were visiting the grandmother on*Sunday and it chanced that th* same day the rector of their owl church preached at Emanuel Church In Boston. So the grandmother thinking to give them a pleasant sur prise, took them to the service, but contrary to her expectations, the) expressed no surprise whatever. “Do you know the minister?” sh* asked. “Yes, he is our minister.’’ “But why Is he here?” "Why he Is our minister.” “Do you think he came here be cause ypu were to be here?” • “ ’’Why, of course; he la our minister.” "But,” pursued the grandmother "I don’t think I quite understand.” “No,” answered the little 6 year old, "of course, you don’t, grandma, but then (with a pitying sigh) you’re a Unitarian.”—Boston Herald.
