"Then put a chain and paddock on
him and hold him in" growled the
surgeon. He prescribed q medicine
and went away. assuring Mrs. Strong
that Philip would feel much better In
the morning.
The surgeons prediction came true.
Philip found himself weak the next
day, but able to get about. In reply
to numerous calls Of inquiry for the
minister Mrs. Strong was able to re-
port that he was much better. About
II o'clock, when the postman called,
Philip was in his study lying on his
lounge.
His wife brought up two letters. One
of them was from his old chum. He
read that first He then laid 1t down
and opened the other.
At that moment Mrs. Strong was
called down stairs by ring at the
door. When she had answered 1t, she
came up stairs again.
AS she came into the room she was
surprised at the queer look on Philips
face. Without a word he handed her
the letter he had just opened and with
the same look watched her face as she
read 1t.

SENATOR McLAURIN IN NEW YORK.
Tells About Marvellous Industrial Expan-
sion of the South.

Tells About Marvellous Industrial Expan-
sion Of the South.
Senator McLaurin was one of the
guests of honor at the second annual
dinner of the American Asiatic asso-
citation in New York city last Friday
night. He responded to the toast,
"Tbe South and the Open Door to the
Far East" speaking at length of the
industrial growth Of the south and its
stimulation by trade with the Orient,
be said
"Under favorable conditions there is
no limit to the industrial possibilities
and progress of the south. The mills
are bound to come to the cotton in the
near future, and you will find every
little town has ginnery, oil mill and
yarn factory run by the same power
and combined under one management.
Add to this system cattle feeding and
think what it means. There is no by
products in the world whose possibili-
ties compare with cotton seed. The
profit of such plant would be about
33 per cent. per annum. When every
neighborhood has such plant of this
kind the south will be the richest
country on earth. In iron, steel and
other industries remarkable progress
has been made. 1t was confidently
predicted and I fear hoped by the New
England manufacturers 20 years ago,
that the south would never become
manufacturing centre. The labor prob
lem, the chief predicted obstacle, has
been satisfactorily solved; cheapness
and adaptability have been demonstra-
ted. Where the New England mills
pay $1.25 per day, our mills pay 75
cents. There is no better class of cit
izens and no better laborers than the
mill operatives of the south. They
are the children of those who for four
years followed lee and Jackson with
out reward or hope of reward, for they
were not slave owners. All efforts to
use the Negro in the factories have
been futile but the Negroes are direct
ly benefited, because the factory draws
labor from the farm, thus enlarging
the colored mans opportunity in field
for which he is peculiarly adapted.
1.-THE magnificent possibilities of
commerce eagerly awaiting develop
ment is prize worthy to be solved.
The south cannot stand still and con-
servatively oppose commercial expsn-
sion. To do so means to 60 backward
toward the ruinous conditions of 30
years ago.
"The unexpected and uniDtentional
acquisition of the Philippines is to
mark an epoch in the history of this
country. The worlds conflict in the
east at this time is in reality the out
growth of commercial competition.
1t is a question of markets and market
places.

was sinking rapidly. He was conscious,
however, and at Philips quiet question
concerning his peace with God a smile
passed over his face, and he moved his
lips Philip understood him. A sud-
den thought occurred to Philip. He
opened the basket, took out the bread
and wine, set them on the small table
and said:
"Disciple of Jesus, would you like to
partake Of the blessed communion
once more before you see the King In
his glory?"
The gleam Of satisfaction in the
mans eyes told Philip enough. The
sexton said in low voice, 'He be-
longed to the southern Episcopal
church in Virginia." Something in the
wistful look of the sexton gave Philip
an inspiration for what followed.
Brother" he said. turning to the
sexton, what is to hinder your bap-
tism and partaking of the communion?
Yes, this is Christ'S church wherever
his true disciples are"
Then the sexton brought basin of
water, and as he knecled down by the
side Of the bed Philip baptized him
with the words: 81 baptiZe thee.
Henry, my brother, disciple Of Jesus,
into the name Of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Ghost!
Amen"
Amen" murmured the man on the
bed.
And Philip. still standing as he was.
bowed his head, saying, BLESSED Lord
Jesus. accept these children of thine.
bless this new disciple. and unite our
hearts in love for thee and thy king
dom as we remember thee now in this
service"

CHAPTER XVI.

The day was beautiful and the
church as usual crowded to the doors.
There was feeling of hardly conceal
ed excitement on the part Of Calvary
church. The action Of Thursday night
had been sharply criticised. Very many
thought Philip had gone beyond his
right in bringing such an important
subject before so small a meeting Of
the members. and the prospect Of the
approaching baptism and communion
of the sexton had drawn in a crowd Of
people who ordinarily staid away from
that service.
Philip generally had no preaching on
communion Sunday. This morning he
remained on the platform after the
opening exercises. and in stiffness
which was almost painful in its in
tensity he began to speak in low but
clear ani impressive voice:
Fellow disciples of the church Of
Christ ON earth. we meet to celebrate
the memory of that greatest Of all be-
ings. who. on the eve Of his own great
est agony. prayed that his disciples
might all be one. In that prayer he
said nothing about color or race or
difference of speech or social sur
roundings. His prayer was that his
disciples might all be one-one in their
aims. in their purposes. their sympa-
thy. their faith. their hope. their love.
AN event has happened in this
church very recently which makes 1t
necessary for me to say these words.
The Holy Spirit came into this room
last Sunday and touched the hearts
of several young men. who gave them
selves then and there to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Among the meu was one Of
another race than the Anglo-SaXon.
He was a black man. His heart was
melted by the same love. his mind il
Illuminated by the same truth. He de-
sired to make confession Of his belief.
be baptized according to the commands
Of Jesus and unite with this church as
q humble disciple Of the lowly NaZa-
rene. His name was presented with
the rest at the regular committee meet
ing last Monday. and that committee,
by q vote Of to .. refused to present
his name with recommendations for
membership. On my own responsible
ty at the preparatory service Thursday
night | asked the church to act upon
this disciples name. There was q
legal quorum Of the church present.
BY a vote Of 26 to - the applicant for
membership was received according to
the rules of this church.
"But after that meeting the man
came to me and said that he was I'M
willing to unite with the church, know
ing that some objected to his member
ship. 1t was natural feeling for him
to have. We had long talk over the
matter. Since then have learned
that if a larger representation Of men,
bers had been present at the prepara-
tory meeting there Is possibility that
the number voting against receiving
the applicant would have been much
larger than those who voted for him.

events Of the morning he was more
and more grieved for the church and
for his Master. 1t seemed to him that
a great mistake had been made and
that Calvary church had disgraced the
name of Christianity.
AS he had been in the habit Of doing
since he moved into the neighborhood
of the tenements, Philip went out In
the afternoon to visit the sick and the
sorrowful. The shutting down of the
mills had resulted In an immense
amount of suffering and trouble. AS
spring came on some few Of the mills
had opened. and men had found work
In them at q reduction Of wages. The
entire history Of the enforced idleness
of thousands Of men in Milton during
that eventful winter would make a
large volume Of thrilling narrative.
Philips story but touches on this 9TH
er He had grown rapidly familiar
with the different phases Of life which
loafed and idled and drank itself away
during that period Of inaction. Hun.
dreds Of men had drifted away to 9th
er places in search Of work. Almost as
many more had taken to the road to
swell the ever increasing number Of
professional tramps and in time to de-
velop into petty thieves and criminals.
But those who remained had desper-
ate struggle with poverty. Philip grew
,ia .hno ort
people and saw the complete helpless
ness, the utter estrangement Of sympa-
thy and community Of feeling between
the church people and these represent
atives of the physical labor Of the
world. Every time he went out to do
his visiting this feeling deepened In
him. This Sunday afternoon in partic-
ular it seemed to him as If the depres-
sion and discouragement Of the tene-
ment district weighed on him like a
great burden. bearing him down to the
earth with sorrow and heartache.
He had been in the habit Of going
out to communion Sunday with the
emblems Of Christ to observe the rite
by the bedsides of the aged or i'll or
those who could not get out to church.
He carried with him this time basket
containing a part of the communion
service. After going to- the homes Of
one or two invalid church members he
thought Of the person who had been
mentioned by the man in the morning
as living in the tenement district and
in critical condition. He had secured
his address. and after a little inquiry
he soon found himself in part Of the
tenements near to him.
He climbed up three flights Of stairs
and knocked at the door. 1t was open
ed by the sexton. He greeted Philip
with glad surprise.
The minister smiled sadly.
$50. my brother. it is true you are
serving your Master here? My heart
is grieved at the action Of the church
this morning"
Don't say anything, Mr.. Strong.
You did all you could, but you are just
in time to see him." The sexton point
ed into a small back room. "He Is 60
ing fast | didn't suppose he was so
near. would have asked you to come,
but didn't think he was failing So"
Philip followed the sexton into the
room. The son Of the old slave master

QUALITY NOT QUANTITY.
The Element That Is Most Desirable In
School Teaching.


School Teaching.
The senate did right in killing Sena-
tor Gruber's bill to keep open the pub
lie schools for six months at an ex-
penditure of $3.50. The idea that
good public school can be run for $25
a month is so preposterous that it is
wonder that any sane man would en-
tertain it for a moment much less seri-
ously propose it. No teacher who is
competent to do the work
would or could undertake to teach
school at such a starvation price, for it
means that that is about all the teacher
would get for a years work, for after
working six months in the schoolroom
it would be chance if other employ
ment could be secured for the re-
mainder of the year.
Until we learn to appreciate the
teacher at his true worth and pay him
accordingly, we may expect to have
poor schools. Good teachers, like
good horses, have a market value, and
a $50 teacher cannot be had for $25
any more than 800 horse can be
bought for $50. That's the whole sit
situation in nutshell. The miserable
pittance paid to teachers repels rather
than attracts frst-class men and women
to engage in teaching. A people who
spend million and half annually for
whisky and half a million for public
schools, cannot be expected TO pay
good prices for good teachers.-Ander-
