been the custom for years past for the
successful candidates to address the

The building was crowded to the

was Il lull in the proceedings when the
audience called for several of the new

some delay in securing u speaker to

joined the mayor in an effort to secure
quiet. In response to numerous calls
II. NJ. Toothe was pushed forward to
the platform on which the speakers
stood.
AS he reached it there was an omi-

on which the mayor and newly elected
aldermen were seated, seemed to pitch
forward to the floor.
There was sagging of timbers and
the next minute $50 people were hurled
twenty feet to the floor below. A beam
running twenty feet along the center
of the hall had given way and the

HIS Farewell SERMON.

Austin Winthrop came out OF the sem
mary early in June and almost immedi-
atsly found two calls awaiting him. Ole
was from the Hon. Charles Dutton Col
ton Of Topeka, Kansas, who offered to
nut fifteen thousand dollars into
church at his home city AMI have young
Winthorp c,me out aud build up its
membership. The othsr offer was from
q little town in western Nebra;ka and
had came through the efforts OF Win
thorpIs old university school-mats.
Henry Hartzsll. who had gone into the
cattle business there a year or two be-
foro. The Topeka call was very tempt
ing one. but to Winthrop it smacked too
much CT thu ID pom" which that city was
then going through. So he almost i'm
mediately accepted the Nebraska pas
tors'e.
Active work was not to begin in his
new field until August aud Wiuthorp
s,raightwsy took boat to Port Mills on
the Wisconsin shore OF Lake Michigan.
He went there for other reasons than
rest or his health. Miss Margaret De-
land was spending tbs summer at tbs
Port with her plrents-one part OF the

little hand full that sat before him and
it touched his heart sorely as he looked
into their eyes. There were old men
bent and irfirm with suffering. young
men with gray on their temples. There
were women whose lips were pale and
thin and drawn, whose eyes were hard
end dull. There were children from
whose faces had faced all expression OF
childish JOY and happiness.
Winthrop knew them all. knew their
story, knew what they had suffered.
And as ne looked into their faces that
twill ght hour Of his farewell. he threw
aside the formal sermon he had prepar-
ed and talked to them out OF his hearts
experience of the year.
I'VE read Of herosm OF war which is
the heroism OF the movement. We read
of the heroism Of the ancients-
Greek and the Roman. And feeling OF
awe and reverence comes over us. But
] want to say-and God knows-that
there is No greater heroism than you
h We displayed during this past year
the heroism OF bearing privation and
suffering and sorrow silently and nobly.
Such is the greatest heroism in the
world-and such you have shown Then
he went on to cheer them up and to tell
them that they must not give up 10 des-
pair, and everything would come out
right in the end.
And nov l come TO the hardest part
OF my task" he said,-"to say good bye"
Though my prospects are bright for the
future. you will never know how it
wrings my heart to say farewell. To
gether We have witnessed scenes that
none can describe. scenes which are
burned into my memory as by red hct
iron. Together We have gone through
star vation and suffering and death. And
have come to know you as if you were
my family-my brother or my sister.
And from all Of you l have-I have
known nothing but kindness and court
esy and good will. You have aided me
cheerfuly and willingly.
His voice broke at the end and he
sank down into the pulpit chair. The
twilight shadows had been creeping in
from the west until the little church was
almost in darkness. Without a word.
but with wet eyes and choking thro ITS
the little haLdful left the church and
went slowly through the summer even
ing TO their homes.
Then Winthrop took I'D the Bible his
mother had given him and left the
church. 1t was almost dark then and
ne I'D not see the slender form OF a girl
who still sat on the opposite side Of the
rnurch from him. Her head was bowed
low on the rail in front and one hand
ciuIched despairingly at her breast.

perish in day. Business died in a week.

And yet Winthrop stayed oct the
year--a year that tried his soul to its
very depths and aged him as five years
had not done before. He made his
fght-spending his meagre salary on the
starving. comforting the despairipg, Wis
iting the sick. watching at the bedside
OF the dying. He was game to tae last
and only gave up when forced by the in
evitable.
One willing helper Winthrop had
found. Almost Immediately on his
arrival he had been drawn to Carrie
Stanton by her sweet tender face. her
retiring modesty and her quiet, earnest
devotion. Throughout all that terrible
winter she had been his helpmate and
they had come to know each other az

When Winthrop reached tn, town
where he was to begin his work it
seemed to him as if he had ridden into
an immense furnace. The hot August
wind blew gale from the south. The
whits fiery ball of the sun beat down
until the air on the long level prairie
quivered as it does over the sands of the
desert. The leaves Of the few little cot
tonwoods were dry and curled and the
blades Of grass cracked under foot. Dust
swept by in clouds, enveloping dwell
ings, whole streets, at times the entire
town. When ths wind calmei a mo-

brown on the window lodges and in the
fence corners little mounds rose higher.
