business policy"
'Do you think so2" Norman asked
the question not as IL he expected an
answer, but simply as if he were talk
ing with himself. After a pause he
said:
"You may direct Marks to do as l
said. I believe it is what Jesus would
do, and, as told you, Clark, that is
what have promised to try to do for o
year, regardless Of what the results
may be to me. I cannot believe that by
any kind Of reasoning we could reach
a conclusion justifying Jesus in the adj
vertisement in this age Of whisky and
tobacco in newspaper. There are some
other advertisements Of doubtful
character / shall study into. Mean
while feel conviction in regard to
these that cannot be silenced "
Clark went back to his desk feeling
as if he had been in the presence of a
very peculiar person.
He could not grasp the meaning Of 1t
all. He felt enraged and alarmed. He
was sure any such policy would ruin
the paper as soon as it became generally
known that the editor was trying to do
everything by such an absurd moral
standard. What would become Of bust
ness if this standard were adopted2 1t
would upset every custom and intro
duce endless confusion. 1t was simply
foolishness it was downright idiocy,
so Clark said to himself, and when
Marks was informed of the action he
seconded the managing editor with
some very forcible CALCULATIONS. What
was the matter with the chief9 Was
ne insane? Was he going to bankrupt
the whole business2
But Edward Norman had not faced
his most serious problem.
When he came down to the Office Fri
day morning, he was confronted with
the usual programme for the Sunday
morning edition. The News was one Of
the few evening papers to issue Sun
day edition, and it had always been re-
markably successful financially. There
was an average of one page of literary
and religious items to 80 or 40 pages
of sport, theater gossip, fashion, So
ciety and political material. This made
very interesting magazine of all sorts
of reading matter and had always been
welcomed by all the subscribers, church
members and all, as Sunday necessity.

CHAPTER II.

He that saith he abideth in him ought also to
walk even as he walked.
Edward Norman, editor of the Ray
mond Daily News, sat in his Office room
Monday morning and faced a new
world of action. He had made his
pledge in good faith to do everything
after asking, "What would Jesus dor"
and as he supposed with his eyes open
to all the possible results. But as the
regular life of the paper started on an
other week s rush and whirl of activity
he confronted it with degree of hest
tation and feeling nearly akin to fear.
He had come down to the Office very
early and for few minutes was by
himself. He sat at his desk in grow
ing thoughtfulness that finally became
a desire which he knew was as great as
it was unusual. He had yet to learn,
with all the others in that little COM
pany pledged to do the Christlike thing,
that the spirit Of life was moving in

The Jubilee Convention Of the Chris

notable gatherings Of y religious de-

this year II started out to make it
600, 600, and raised more than that
sum. The Wumcn's Christian Board
