full of the multitude like this womani
Surely Jesus in our places would do
what you have done.
And so Rollin comforted Virginia and
counseled with her that evening, and
of all the wonderful changes that Vir-
ginia was henceforth to know on &C.
count of her great pledge nothing af-
fected her SO powerfully as the thought
of Rollins change in life. Truly, this
man in Christ was new creature. Old
things We're passed away Behold all
/, things in him had become newt
/ DR.. West came that evening at Vir-
ginia's summons and did everything
necessary for the outcast. She had
drunk herself almost into delirium. The
best that could be done for her now
f, We're quiet nursing and careful watch
: ing and personal love. So in a beauti-
full room, with a picture of Christ
walking by the sea hanging on the
wall, where her bewildered eyes caught
daily something more of it's hidden
meaning, Loreen lay, tossed she hardly
knew how snto this haven, and Vir-
ginia crept nearer the Master than she
had ever been as her heart went out to-
i ward this wreck which had thus been
(, flung torn and beaten at her feet
Meanwhile the Rectangle waited the
! issue of the election with more than
usual interest, and Gray and his wife
wept over the pitiable creatures who,
after struggle with surroundings that
! daily tempted them, too often wearied
of the struggle, and like Loreen, threw
! up their arms and went whirling into
the boiling abyss of their previous con-
| dition
The after meeting at the First church
was now regularly established Henry
I, Maxwell went into the lecture room on
the Sunday succeeding the week of the
primary and was greeted with an en-
thusiasm that made him tremble at first
for its reality He noted again the alb
scence of Jasper Chase, but all the 9th
ers We're present, and they seemed
drawn very close together by bond Of
common fello wship that demanded and
enjoyed mutual condolences 1t was the
general feeling that the spirit of Jesus
was spirit of very open, frank confess
| sion of experience. 1t seemed the most
natural thing in the world for Edward
Norman to be telling all the rest of the
company about the details of his news
| paper.
"The fact is, l have lost good deal
of money during the last three weeks.
l cannot tell how much I am losing
great many subscribers every day"
"What do the subscribers give as
their reason for dropping the paper ?'
asked Henry Maxwell ALI therest were
listening eagerly
"There are good many different
reasons. Some say they want paper
that prints all the news, meaning by
that the crime details, sensations like
prizefights, scandals and horrors Of
various kinds. Others object to the dis
continuance of the Sunday edition. I
| have lost hundreds Of subscribers by
| that action. although l have made sat
| lsfactory arrangements with many of
] the old subscribers by giving even more
| in the extra Saturday edition than they
formerly had in the Sunday issue My
| greatest loss has come from falling off
in advertisements and from the attitude
have felt obliged to take on political
questions. This last action has really
cost me more than any other The bulk
| my subscribers are intensely par
| hsan may as well tell you all frank
~ that If continue to pursue the plan
which l honestly believe Jesus would
ID the matter of political issues and
their treatment from a nonpartisan and
moral standpoint The News will not be
able to pay its operating expenses I'M
| less one factor in Raymond can be de-
| pended on. I" 4
He paused moment, and the room
was very quiet Virginia seemed spe-
clally interested. Her face glowed with
interest. 1t was like the interest of q
| person who had been thinking hard OF
the same thing Norman went on now
| to mention
THAT one factor is the Christian
element in Raymond Say The News
mas lost heavily from the dropping off
OF people who do not care for a Chris
tan daily and from others who simply
look upon newspaper as q purveyor
OF all sorts of material to amuse and
interest Them are there enough genu-
Inc Christian people in Raymond who
Will rally to the support of a paper
such as Jesus would probably edit or
are the habits of the people so firmly
established In their demands for the
regular type of Journalism that they
Will not take paper unless it is strip
ped largely of the Christian and moral
purpose? may also say in this fellow
ship gathering that, owing to recent
complications in my business affairs
outside of my paper, have been
Obliged to lose large part of my for
tune. l have had to apply the same rule
OF Jesus probable conduct to certain
transactions with other men who did
not apply 1T to their conduct. and the
result has been the loss of great deal
of money.
