and than the Christian flag, in
which minister and congregation
took part. The services wars concluded by singing "God Bless Our
Native Land," and benediction by

A CAKE
A niee big cake I planned to have

A coeoanut vrith layers two,
I wanted it O-kay.
I got tiw recipe, although
I knew it very well—
And stf-m    the layers    both   wars
baked—
But this I have to- tog.
I''wT-r-_at pleased af all, _W* CKey
Unevenly bad raised—
And now, aspst It a failure be,
The cake they always praised.
I spread the icing thickly on
And  coeoanut, because
You know, icing oft covers up
A multitude of flaws.
So when tiie ice cream was brought
forth
Next day, and cake was passed—
The  coeoanut— I was   surprised—
All others it surpassed.
"Please pass the cake",   said brother BUl,
. "Ita fine".   One made this plea:
"I want you sometime juat to bake
A cake like tiwt for ma."
