zen Of the place! 1t does not seem pos
siblev'
But before the week was out Philip
had discovered facts that made his
beart burn with shame and his mind
rouse with indignation. Property In
the town which was being used for sa-
looms, gambling houses and dens OF
wickedness was owned In large part
by several of the most prominent MEM
bers Of his church. There was no
doubt Of the fact. Philip, whose very
nature was frapkness itself, resolved
to go to these men and have a plain
talk with them about 1t. 1t seemed to
him like monstrous evil that Chris
tian believer, a church member. should
be renting his property to these dens OF
vice and taking the money. He called
on Mr.. Winter, but he was out Of town
and would not be back until Saturday
night. He went to see another member
who was large owner In one OF the
mills and heavy property owner. 1t
was not pleasant thing to do, but
Philip boldly stated the precise reason
for his call and asked his member II 1t

me know what you do We shall move to Milton

PHILIP STRONG
1t was characteristic Of Philip that
in this letter he said nothing about his
call to Elmdale and did not tell his col
lege chum what salary was offered him
by the church at Milton. AS a matter
of fact. he really forgot all about every
thing, except the one important event
of his decision to go to Milton. He re-.
garded 1t, and rightly so, as the most
serious step of his life, and while he
had apparently decided the matter very
quickly 1t was, In reality, the result Of
q deep conviction that he ought to go.
He was In the habit of making his de-
cisions rapidly. This habit sometimes
led him into embarrassing mistakes
and once in great while resulted In
humiliating reversals of opinion. SO
that people who did not know him
thought he was fickle and changeable
In the present case Philip acted with
his customary quickness and knew
very well that his action was unalter-
able.

took up his pen and wrote replies to
the calls he had received. refusing the
call to Elmdale and accepting the one
to Milton. And so the strange story Of
great hearted man really began.
When he had finished writing these
two letters, he wrote another, which
throws so much light on his character
and his purpose in going to Milton that
we will insert that In this story as be-

This is the letter:
