unjust alike until yesterday noon. And a
wind that rose when the first drop fell con
tinued to blow until the last drop fell. 1t

houses. 1t was miserable wind and il
made the rain the miserablest downfall of
the year.

been tried even as Job was. About ten
years ago he became convert to the Chris

blasted. And now comes this greatest Of
all his misfortunes But Tom Porter, a
Christian Of the type of those who suffered
martyrdom for their belief, will stand stead
fast to the last. He is amoral hero.
