the reasons Tor Ine cnange.
The winter had gone, and the year
was ended. the year which Henry Max
well had fixed as the time during
which the pledge should be kept to do
as Jesus would do. Sunday, the ami
versary of that one year ago, was in
many ways the most remarkable day
the. First church ever knew. 1t was
more important than the disciples in
the First church realized. The year had
made history so fast and so serious that
the people were not yet able to grasp
its Significance. and tho day itself.
which marked the completion Of q
whole year of such discipleship, was
characterized By such revelations and
confessions that the immediate actors
in the events themselves could not un-
dcrstand the value Of what had been
done or the relation Of their trial to tho
rest of the churches and cities in the
country.
1t happened that tho week before
that anniversary Sunday tho Rev. Cal
vim Bruce, ID. D., Of the Nazareth Av-
onue church, Chicago, was in Ray
mond, where he had come on a visit to
some old friends and incidentally to geo
his old seminary classmate, Henry Max
well. He was present at the First
| church and was an exceedingly atten-
tive and interested spectator. His ac-
count of events in Raymond, and cspc-
cially OF that Sunday, may throw more
light on the entire situation than any.
description or record from other sources
Dr. Bruce's statement is therefore here
given.
Letter from Rcv Calvin Bruce, D.
D., of the Nazareth Avenue church,
Chicago, to Rev. Philip S. Caxton, D.
D., New York city]:
''MY DEAR CAXToN-It is late Sun
day night, but am SO intensely awake
and SO ovcrfiowing with what l have
seen and heard that l feel driven to
write you now some account Of the
situation in Raymond as l have teen
studying it and as it has apparently
come to climax today So this is my
only excuse for writing so extended a
letter at this time
"You remember Henry Maxwell in
the seminary. l think you said the last

TO the First church Of Raymond within
year after leaving the seminary l said

good choice. Maxwell will satisfy them
as sermonizer. He has been here 1 I
years, and understand that up to a
year ago he had gone on in the regular
course of the ministry, giving good sat
isfactioE and drawing good congrcga-

His church was counted the largest,
most wealthy church in Raymond. All

into an isolation that was intensified
by his habits as an author.
AL through the heat Of the summer
he had been writing. His book was
nearly done now. He had thrown him

strength that threatened at any moment
to desert him and leave him helpless.
he had not forgotten his pledge with
the other church members at the First

DEAR AUNT JENNIE:-I have en- wed
reading the n my letters VII Oh cave
appeared in the Social Chat and the
paper would be worth the subscription
price, if there were nothing else, for 1
think it both interesting and beneh
cial, especially to the young people.
OF all the letters that have been pub
lished, I esteem most highly yours
and Mrs Fill saws letters in the issue
OF October 3rd. II all of US young
PEG pie would take Aunt Jennie's ad
vice, we would be much better and
much happier than we are.
l find, I am sorry to say, that al most
nine out OF ten of the girls whom [
have associated with (and I try to as
sociate with what are called first
classy are girls who clearly show that
they had rather talk about Glove" or
nonsense than anything else. Some
boys, no doubt enjoy such company.
but for my self, I prefer solitude to anv
such so called society"

AUNT N LETTER

AUNT JENNIE'S LETTER.
The first pair of pants for n boy
and the first day Of school life for
another one are happy days for the
boys themselves, but to many a
mothers heart these days are not
taught with gladness. OF course ell
women appreciate the privilege of
sending the children to a good school,
but on! how anxious we feel for their
sef9ty in go many respects. The school
is not far, tits true, but who will be
their associates going and comingG
Now it is that the Fl st lessons OF life
as others live it r learned by the
child, and how prone We al r to
catch the bad while pretending to
choose the good. I like the manly
boy who, when he finds himself in the
company of vain fello rs has courage
enough to politely leave them. Such a
boy will be a man some day-not a
mandy pamby fellow whom no one
cares for, but the pride Of some fond
heart Who loves and believes in him.

And the day looks in at the open door;
The kettle sings and the dear old wife
Goes back and forth DER the kitchen
floor
With plate and platter and fork and
spoon
AS every day she is wort to do.
And she lays them with O quiet grace
On the h2mely table set for Two.
1.-The cat lay curled es'eep on a chair,
Aud the OLD dog blinked at the noon.

But the wife was sad and the day
seemed so long,
For ehe was thinking thoughts Of the
long ago:
When the old house rang with mirth
and song;
When the red. checked boys and girls
Game trooping through the door.
They have grown to be men and wo
men now,
And ere filing their places in the
world
S7me wandered meath an alien sky,
And some will co me back no more-no
And the dear old wife in her qliet
Does the homely tasks she is won't to
But the tears fall fast as she s'dIy
thinks
OF the lonesome table set for two"

today just as this one did. I think
