WHICH WAS MASTER?
The UPshOt Of a Singular. Revival
Scene.

A queer scene lately occurred in the
midst of a church congregation at School
craft. Mich. A Rev. A. L. Graves, Of New
York, was holding q series of revival meet
ings at that place, and many wicked people
were converted and cOmfOrted. The wife
of a well known citizen Of SchOOlCraft at
tended the meetings regularly, much against
the wishes of her husband, who stayed at
home and used bad language while his wife
was at her devOtiOns. Thus he kept up his
end Of the family rope, and the husband
and wife seemed 10 be drifting far apart in
the current of that revival. lAt length one
evening she went forward for prayers.
He heard of it and put his foot
down on any mole MISUNDERSTANDING
her to 90 TO meeting again under pain Of
his everlasting dIsplcasure. She went not
withstanding the next night and took her
accustomed seat. The Infatuated husband
rushed into the church stOrming in the
midst of the preaching, seized his wife,
dragged her out of her seat-picked her up
and carried her bodily out Of meeting in
heathenish triumph. None of the cOngre-
CATION were meddlesOme enough TO inter
fere between husband and wife in the
management of their private domestic
concerns. 1t was pretty clear the hus
band was master in his own house
hold. He was a prominent citizen, too,
and his example was lesson for husbands.
The preaching went on, and the couple
wens home, to discuss the odds and ends OF
the whole business. IL was a startling
episode Of the revival. But it was still
more startling fifteen minutes later 20 see
the husband and wife come into church
arm-in-arm, and seat themselves side by
side, and pay devotional attention TO the
services until meeting was out, The man
so lately stOrming was meek as a lamb,
and the woman wore a placid smile Of
peace as if her temper had never been ruff
fed even by a cross cOnnubial word. What
was the matter? What could it all mean
Had she converted him, or was there some
thing else at the bottom of the surprising
incident? Nobody knew, but il was now
pretty clear that the wife was the master,
and her mild, unresisting example was
telling lesson for wives. In view Of such
a social mystery, the good people Of School
craft forgot all about religion and went to
gossipping about that couple in the most
scandalOus manner, and 50 the revival
broke up. 1t looks as If the man had his
way after all,
