and Orion, and who turneth the shadow
of death into the morning"
Gambling and whisky palaces, gam
bling and whisky dens, brothels and
dance houses, were at every turn. Only
one-quarter of the city lay in darkness
and silence the money changers were
at their luxurious fresides or at church.
On the street a hectic-cheeked woman,
once fathers and mothers pure-eyed,
soft-haired lassie, passed me, coughing,
and out of her eyes shone the look OF
lost soul. O, that look, that look
Will the woman ever get rid Of that
look? How can God preserve the
harmony of the spheres with that look
tormenting him?
AT one time stood in front of great
church, out of the doors of which came
broad stream of light that lit up the
sidewalk, and l saw beautiful young
lady, clothed in thick soft furs, with
diamonds in her ears, brush by little
girl who stood in rags and worn-out
shoes, holding by the hand her wee-bit
brother, more ragged than herself |
entered the building and seated myself
in pew richly carpeted and cushioned.
A silk covered hassock invited to prayer,
assuring one against his knee-caps be-

that the speaker was on terms OF great
familiarity with the awful Being to whom
it was addressed. During its delivery |
was startled to see these words, in large
golden characters, appear upon the wall
Just above the minister's head; but l
noticed that none Of the congregation
seemed to be attracted by them: "When
thou prayest thou shalt not be as the
hypocrites are, for they love to pray
standing in the churches that they may
be seen of men. But thou, when thou
prayest, enter into thy closet; and when
thou hast shut the door, pray to thy
Father who is in secret" At the con-
clusion of the prayer the preacher gave
out text, and therefrom proceeded to
demonstrate the theological plan OF
salvation, and Justify the ways OF God
to man."
While the monotonous drone of the
preachers voice sounded in my ear,
suddenly the lights burned low, and the
church filled up with any army OF spec.
tiers. They all were in dirty tatters. and
wore a starved look and on the limbs
of many of them clanked iron chains
that ate into the fostering flesh. All the
bodies and souls of Gods children that
ever had been murdered by mammon

cousins, then pointed at me and said was
a nice, big fellow. This made me feel
very proud. When he put his hand in
to his pocket l supposed he was going
to give me some corn. Instead of that
he counted out money to my master.
Then knew he would take me away,
and l began gobbling goodbye to my
relatives and friends Of the barn-yard.

81 winters night, and the ground
was glazed over with sleet. 1t was
a Christmas night, and fire-crackers and
pistols were exploding, and tin horns
blowing. and egg-nogs being drunk in
honor Of Christ's birthday. The sights
of woe and shame and horror saw that
night what tongue can tell! In six and
seven STORED tenement houses men and
women, born in the image of God. with
the look of Satan scared on their
faces, were drunk, and fighting, and
cursing, and screaming, in the presence
of the skeleton -limbed children, on
whom hung filthy rags. Two and more
families. Of all ages and both sexes,
tenanted the same foul, fetid room; and
in one of them, and in dirty corner,
lay gray-haired, red-nosed corpse

ing bruised or his trousers becoming
specked with dust by reason Of his
genuAection. The ceiling was frescoed.
and in the center grand chandelier
blazed and sparkled with gas jets. The
immense gilded organ was marvel OF
costly work. The pulpit, with its red
velvet covered sofa, furnished hand
some setting to the minister dressed in
black broadcloth. In pew near to
mine sat man { cannot say gentle
man, for he was dressed in coarse jeans
and wore homespun cotton shirt with
the sweetest and yet saddest look in his
eyes l ever saw-large Oriental eyes.
full of tenderest love, with the shadow
of great agony and bloody sweat on
them, but with a gleam that revealed
the power to shoot forth lightning flashes
of scorn.
While the church was filling up with
the usual fashionable congregation, the
low thunder Of the organ broke upon
my ear. heard the rustic Of a silk
dress as a society belle swept up the

"Can you lend me twenty-five dol,
lars this morning. Mr.. Williamson -
asked needy friend, entering the brok-
er's office.
Sorry, Barrows, but l really can't.
Mrs. Williamson went out this morning
to buy little surprise for me, and she
took all the money l had.

sat and watched beside her, until Miss
Frances came to take her place.
Then there was indeed tender meet
ing between Robin and his mother; and
he told how, tossing about the world, he
had learnt the value of the love and
home he left behind him, and to be
sorry for much undutiful behavior. He
would never have fulfilled his angry in
tention of running away but for that
unfortunate riot, when in his fear of be-
ing seized by the police, and bringing
discredit on his parents name, he went
off with George Hussey to the sea. Be-
ing strong, they found work pretty cas-
lily, and Robin had been sailor ever
since, and had made more than one
voyage to India. False shame had kept
him from writing, but he always meant
to 90 back to the old home at the first
opportunity. That very morning, his
ship had been paid off at the London
docks; and he was on his way to Alder
bridge, when, exhausted with his tramp
through the binding snow, he had

fowls running about in the yard, and
found out from them that it was almost
Christmas time.
Now let me ease your tender little
hearts about my career being so sudden
ly cut short. want to tell you that in
Turkeydom it is considered great
glory to be the center Of attraction at a
Christmas dinner table; to be dressed
up in nice brown coat to be sur
rounded by sparkling jellies, rich cram
berry sauce, and all the other good
things; to hear the children cry, "Oh!
Oh % and the papas and mammas say,
What fine turkey" This is what
we live for, my little dears. So when

aisle, a diamond cross fash
ing at her neck, and an
ivory-bound. gilt-edged
prayer book in her kid
gloved hand; and | heard,
but not from the choir
from l knew not where-a
sweet, pure voice, as of an
angel, with a touch of tears
in it, sing:
Hark I! the rustic of that dress,
Stiff with lavish costllness.
Here comes one whose cheek
would flush
But to have her garments brush
'Gainst the girl with fingers thin,
Who wove the weary 'broidery
in;
Bending backwards from her toll
Lest her tears the silk might soil;
And in midnight's chill and murk
Stitched her life into the work.
The words died out with
a sob, and the look in the
eyes of the man in jeans
reminded me of the ap-
pearance of the sky before
a gathering storm. Then
up the other aisle a fore
most citizen, "a pillar and
a shining light" one who
had observed the COM
mandments from his youth
up, headed his family to
their pew; and again l
heard a voice sing, but this
one had an undertone Of
sternness and scorn and
menace in it:
Hark! that heavy, pompous tread
Tells of one well clothed and fed.
