Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

The above truthful lines become ex-
ceedingly appropriate when used in
connection with an incident which trans
pired at the Methodist church Thursday
evening.
That incident was the reception into
probationary membership of woman
who for years has lived d life Of sin and
shame, but who having recently become
convicted and it is as confidently be-
lieved by many, converted, has cast off
the shaclyles which bound her to a pros
titute's life and has resolved henceforth
to order her existence after the gOdly
and upright.
During the services attendant upon
her reception into church membership,
there were few dry eyes among the con
gregaton who listened to her touching
story, and at its conclusion there was
not enc who was not impressed with the
intense sincerity of every word which she
had uttered.
AS she stood there with tears trickling
down her cheeks, asking for hep and
encouragement in her new resolve, every
heart there melted in Christian charity
and forgiveness and none denied her the
warm hand clasp of Christian fellow
ship.
Several days ago Stella Moore or Alice
Rigsby, for that is the womans name,
was reported to have given up her old
life, but among these who know her but
few believed it, until it was learned that
she had disposed Of her property in had
section OF the city in which She lived
had discarded her former acquaintance,
and protested conversion to Reys. Rob
ertson and Rumney Methodist ministers
of this city, who by request had visited
her at home, and lad learned the story
of her resolve to lead pure life.
She told them with fearful eyes and
choking sobs how. for four years, the
Good Spirit had struggled with her, and
how, while often tempted TO yield to His
woolngs, she resisted them until recent
iy when CHANGING to read one Of Tai
IMAGES sermons the pleadings Of the
great preacher found Judgement in her
heart and proved the lamp by which her
wandering footsteps have been led from
the path Of sin into communion with
those who profess Christ.

have reached out TO rescue her from her
old life; warm prayers have gone up to
