CHAPTER XVII.

Meantime Millicent and Gerald Massa- reene are standing in the warm sunshine in one corner of the tennis ground Miss Grey, who had been playing, but has now resigned her place and her racket to another, is looking at her companion chievous-perhaps wholly mutinous.
 Crime is flying" says the young man ardently. "Have you not come to de- cision yet? It is almost the last hour. After tomorrow there will be no grace left. He returns then.''
 "Granit? Yes."
 'You must choose between me and him. You know that, and still you hesi- tate. When he returns it will give him an advantage, because then he will again have the world on his side-his very presence gives him an extra chance. If you could decide-if you could let me speak before he comes.''
 "I don't sec how his presence or ab- sence can influence the matter. There is to me only one thing to be considered whether or not we can live happily when quite poor.''
 "It wouldn't be quite,'' interposes he eagerly. 'There would be the eight hundred a year.''
 "There would dbe-Starvationp'
 eff you choose to term it so,' says he little haughtily, his Irish blood aflame. "And as you so choose, it of course de- clares to me that you have made up your mind not to share it.'' He looks at her drawn up and his eyes full of an indig- nant entreaty. Miss Grey, receiving this look point blank, knows that the moment has come to keep him or lose him for ever.
 "You are so precipitate-so impu1- sive,' she says, with haste that is sufd- ciently well bred to re devoid of the ap- pearance of hurry that really belongs to it. "I understand the case as we'll as you do,' petulantly. ''It is poverty with one man, misery with the other. One has to decide between them-and-one does not like poverty!' "Does one prefer misery?" "N-o. I suppose not.'' Then she pauses and locks her fingers together, | and then unlocks them. "It is misery either way" she says.
 ''Not if there is love-" entreats he softly. "And-you will have to make up your mind now"
 "You mean that you will not wait to receive my decision later on?' asks she, | with 0 sudden swift glance from her eyes,
 sYes, that is what mean,'' says l Massareene.
 l It is to be now or never, then! She realizes the situation at once, and admires her true lover little the more in that | she knows he will abide by his word, and that if she now tri1es with him, he | will be over the border tomorrow ere l daylight shows the land, and beyond all l recalling, be the voice of the charmer never so sweet.

 Nothing but that. Make your choice now, to-day, between me and him. To morrow there will be no choice left If you do not love me, that will matter not at all, and I shall have had an escape from one who merely used me as a toy wherewith to pass the time. If you do love me, it will matter so far that you will break all bonds and defy all discom-

nearly every Methodist prayed, testi-
fed or exhorted in prayer-meeting.
Now but very few are heard. Former
ly shouts and praises we're heard, now
such demonstrations Of holy enthusi.
asm and joy are regarded as fanaticism.
Worldly socials, fairs, festivals, con.
certs, and such like, have taken the
place of the religious gatherings, reviv.
al meetings, class and prayer meetings
of earlier days.
How true that the Methodist disci-
pline is dead letter. Its rules forbids
the wearing of gold, or pearls, or costly
array; yet no one ever thinks of disci.

They forbid the reading of such books
and the taking of such diversions as
do not minister to godlineas, yet the
Church itself goes to sh ,ws, and fr OIL
les, and festivals, and fairs, which de-
stroy the spiritual life of the young as
we'll as the old. The extent to which
this is now carried on is appalling
The spiritual death it carries in its
train will only be known when the mil
lions it has swept into hell stand be-
fore the judgment.
The early Methodist ministers went
forth to sacrifice and suffer for Christ.
They sought not places of ease and af.
Auence but of privation and suffering.
They gloried not in their big salaries,
fine parsonages and refined congrega-
tions, but in the souls that had been
won for Jesus. Oh, how changed! A
hireling ministry will be a feeble, a
timid, a trucking, time.serving min
istry without faith, endurance and holy
power. Methodism formerly dealt in
the great central truth. Now the pull
pit deals largely in generalities, and in
popular lectures. The glorious doc
trine of Entire Sancti6cation is rarely
heard and seldom witnessed to in the
rulpits.-EG.
