Why Pa Goes to Church BOUT once a month, on a Saturday night, ma says unto pa, ‘Henry Jones!"’ (And the way that he jumps is the funniest sight, for he knows what's to come, from her tones.) “To-morrow’s the Sabbath. How long is it since you have been to a service?” And pa, though it’s plain the fib gives him a wince, ‘'Two * ‘There’s a silence from ma; But all of us know from the set of her face as she gives to her rocker a lurch That to-morrow, to save us from social disgrace, she'll be get- ting pa ready for church. The peace-bringing Sabbath dawns lovely and fair, and ma gets up early and goes To ‘tend to the chores with a martyr-like air, while pa rolls himself in the clothes. He hopes that maybe she’s relented—but, nay ! dozing off, snug and warm, With a tug and a throw he's exposed to the day by the vigor of ma’s righteous arm; And she snaps, ‘‘Henry Jones! It's five minutes of eight! Just you hustle yourself off your perch!’’ For ma, she believes in the militant gait when she’s getting pa ready for church, At breakfast the atmosphere’s not just the kind that’s con- ducive to family love. When pa saunters in twenty minutes behind all the rest, ma, she gives him a shove And says, ‘‘Now you needn't be dawdling around and shirking until the last bell, For you're going with me!'’ And I guess, from the sound, pa growls something don’t sound very well. When it’s time. to be starting, he can’t find his lid; then we all have to chase round and search, And one Sunday we found it down cellar, well hid, after ma’d got pa ready for church. It’s funny. Sometimes (just the same as with me when our school opens up in the fall) Pa’s stomach acts queer; but it’s easy to see ma is not sympa- thetic at all, For she says all he needs is a brisk, lively walk in the beauti- ful, clear Sabbath morn. Then she starts him along, and with faith-curing talk argues all his bad symptoms to scorn, So we march up the steps, all the family group, on our honor no sign of a smirch, And we smile down the aisle like a heavenly troupe, ting pa ready for church.
