The largest tent of the Tasajasa camp
meeting was crowded to its utmost ex-
tent. The excitement Of that dense
mass was at its highest pitch. Rev.
Stephen Masterton, the single. erect.
passionate figure of that confused med
ley Of kneeling worshipers, had reached
the eliminating pitch Of his irresist-
ibfe exhortatory power. Signs and
groans Were beginning to respond to
his appeals, when the reverend brother
was seen to lurch heavily forward and
fall to the ground.
At first the effect was that OF part
Of his performance; the groans re-
doubled. and twenty or thirty brethren
threw themselves PROSTATE in humble
Imitation of the preacher But Sister
Deborah Stokes, perhaps through some
special revelation of feminine intui-
tion, grasped the fallen man, tore loose
his black silk necktie and dragged him
free of the struggling, frantic crowd,
whose paroxysms he had just evoked.
It may have struck her that his own
condition was not essential to that con-
dition in Others. Howbeit, he was pale
and unconscious and unable to con-

There was chap who kept store,
And. though there might be grander,
He sold his goods to all who came,
And his name was Alexander.
He mixed his goods with cunning hand,
He was sk.llful brander:
And, since his sugar was half sand,
They called him Aex-sander.
He had his dear one. and she came,
And lovingly he seemed her.
