day school is one of the strongest, most
powerful influences in our civilization
in this country today. But the paper
will not necessarily be weak because
it is good. Good things are more pow
erful than bad. The question with me
is largely one of support from the Chris
tian people Of Raymond. There are over
30, 900 church members here in the
city. If half of them will stand by The
News, its life is assured. What do you
think, Maxwell, is the probability Of
such support?'
''I don't know enough about it to
give an intelligent answer. 1 believe in
the paper with all my heart. If it lives

no telling what it can do. The great
thing will be to issue such paper, as
near as we can judge, as Jesus probably
would and put into it all the elements
OF Christian brains, strength, intelli-
gence and sense and command respect
by the absence Of bigotry, of fanati-
cism, narrowness and any thing else that
is contrary to the spirit of Jesus. Such
a paper will call for the best that hui

'"That is very true" said Henry

the first Sunday when the first company

and all through it ran. the one general
cry for deliverance from the saloon and
its awful curse.
But if the First church was deeply
stirred by the events Of the week gone
the Rectangle also felt moved strongly
in its own way. The death of Loreen
was not in itself 30 remarkable a fact
1t was her recent acquaintance with
the people from the city that lifted her
into special prominence and surrounded
her death with more than ordinary i'm
portance. Every one in the Rectangle

CHAPTER VII
He that followeth me shall not walk in dark.
heM
The body of Lereen lay in state at
the Page mansion on the avenue. It
was Sunday morning, and the clear,
sweet air, just beginning to breathe
over the city the perfume of opening
blossoms in the woods and fields, swept
over the casket from one of the open
windows at the end Of the grand hall
The church bells were ringing, and the
people on the avenue going by to serv-
ice turned curious, inquiring looks up
at the great house and went on, talking
of the recent events which had SO
strangely entefed into and made history
in the city.
At the First church Henry Maxwell,
bearing on his face marks of the scene
he had been through the night before,
confronted, ar immense congregation
and spoke Of it with a passion and a
power that came SO naturally out of
the profound experiences Of the day be-
fore that his people felt for him some
thing Of the old feeling Of pride they
once had in his dramatic delivery.
Only this was different attitude, and
all through his impassioned appeal this
morning there was note Of sadness
and rebuke and stern condemnation
that made many of the members pale
with self accusation or with inward
anger.
For Raymond had awakened that
morning to the fact that the city had
gone for license, after all The rumor
at the Rectangle that the second and
third wards had gone no license proved
to be false. It was true that the victory
was won by very meager majority,
but the result was the same as if it had
been overwhelming. Raymond had
voted to continue another year the sa-
loon. The. Christians of Raymond stood
condemned, by the result. More than q

NEW YORK LADIES' TRIO.

Concerts that will please every one,
that will be a treat to the lovers OF
music, that will be a revelation to the
professionals themS elves, are the con-
certs to be given by the New York
Ladies Trio and Miss Lillian CARL
smith, at Mozart Park, Sunday after
sonnet of the Trio is Dora Valesca
Becker, violinist; Flavie Van Den
Hende, violincellist, and Celia Schiller,
pianist.
In conjunction with the Trio is Miss
Lillian Carllsmith, contralto of ma
tional reputation. She has a fine, re-
sonant voice of great charm, and sings
with assurance and great feeling. Her
intonation is pure and her style broad
and dignifed. Miss Dora Velesca
Becker, violinist, is charming young
lady personally, and has had much ex-
perience for her age. She has appear
ed as soloist for the lase Anton Seidl
Orchestra and many ether prominent
engagements. Her tone is especially
good; full, sweet and sympathetic.
Her touch is finished and she plays
with refinement and intelligent appre-
citation. Of Miss Schiller the New York
Sun said: Miss Schiller's debut was
uncommonly successful. An artist who
can memorize and interpret with so
much decision and clearness a compost
ton of sneh Importance should have
every encouragement, and the triple
recall that followed the completion OF
her task was merited. Miss Van Den
Hende surely possesses the musical
soul, and is thoroughly developed
'cellist. Her reception will assuredly
be warm and fattering.
