CHAPTER VII.

1t was long time since Nab had passed
such Il pleasant hour in her unclc's house
as that which succeeded Lord Wynmore's
sudden appearance at luncheon, for his
presence seemed TO be the signal for har-
mony to take the place Of discord. Uncle
John was unusually amiable, and, when
they rose from the table he proposed that
they should all repair to the lawn and eat
their strawberries i'll he shade; and

graciously to Nab:
oh, you must come, too. my dear Ma
bel; | can't let you 90 off alone to the
school ROOM You will find it much pleas
anter with us under the cedar tree!''
What could it mean: 10 think of Uncle
Johns tutoring so kind a sentence to her.
She could not understand it; but, oh, how
delightful it was to her not to be banished
Immediately from Lord Wynmore's So
cicty,
After a little while Uncle John proposed
that they should stroll into the shrubbery,
where the green boughs made cool arch
way, and where rustic seats were placed

say to Mabel in low tone:

words were. they seemed to confirm theil
! friendiness-a friendliness how romantic
and which as yet even Dick did not dream
Of.
Presently Dick managed to whisper:
''Is it all right about the ties:'
Nab nodded, and her brother understood
that it was certainly all right and thai

1900 years ago"
This startling and emphatic state
ment, partially quoted from Mr..
Moody, was made by Rev. j. S.
French, pastor of the Methodist
church here, on last Sunday night.
The pastor was discus ing the with
drawal Of God from his church, and
the causes. He traced briefly aud
wildly the history of the church
from the beginning, through the
pntriarchal and prophetic ages, not
ing the various captivities of Israel
and their numerous fall5-aDd down
through the dark ages, ct, to the
present time Mr. French said In
substance, that the political corrup-
ton Of today is as deep, dark and
defiant as at any period in the
worlds history. On the question of
vote-buying he said: Your Sena-
tors and chief officers, for the most
part, occupy their seats, not because
they are highly and truly patriotic,

ty in any State for any candidate |

The News has been saying what
it could along this line for some
time, apparently without much effect.
We have urged the pastors and
churches to take some notice of the
growing and monster evil Of vote
buying, as the only hope of putting
check upon it. 1t is hopeful
sign that the pastors and churches
are turning attention in that d.
rection. Mr.. French said in closing
this splendid and eloquent sermon:
"You can't stop vote-buying by
law. There is law already against
it. What then is the remedy? Let
the people who are engaged in it get
religion and then they will stop it,
and not before"
