church" concluded Philip. "And wish
to present him to this church for its ac-
ton. He is Christian; he needs our
help and our fellowship, and as Chris
tian believers, as disciples of the Man
of all the race, as those who believe
that there is to be no distinction of
souls hereafter that shall separate
them by prejudice, | hope you will vote
to receive this brother ia Christ to our
membership"
The voting on new members was
done by ballot. When the ballots were
all in and counted, it was announced
that all whose names were presented
were unanimously elected except that
of the sexton. There were IL votes
against him. J. 26 for him, and Philip
declared that according to the consti-
tuition of the church he was duly elect
ed. The meeting then went on in the
usual manner characteristic of prepar-
atory service. The sexton had been
present in the back part of the room,
and at the close of the meeting, after
all the rest had gone, he and Philip had
long talk together. When Philip
reached home, he and Sarah had an
other long talk on the same subject
What that was we cannot tell until we
come to record the events of the COM
munion Sunday, Il day that stood out
in Philips memory like one of the
bleeding palms of his Master, pierced
with sorrow, but eloquent with sacri-
fee.

Yes, yes; you are beginning to live on
your simpler basis. You are doing as
you preach. That must feel good"
Yes" replied Philip, ''it does feel
good. Do you think, Brother Man, that
this will help to solve the problem?
"What problemt''
"Why, the problem of the church and
the people-winning them, saving
them.''

Philip could not help asking the
question, and all the time he was con-

with an unaccountable respect for his
visitor and his opinion.

calmness of light. "Christ would de-
mand it if he were pastor of Calvary
church in this age. The church mem
bers, the Christians in this century,
must renounce all that they have or
they cannot be his disciples"
Philip sat profoundly silent. The
words spoken so quietly by this crea-
ture tossed upon his own soul like a
vessel in n tempest. He dared not say
anything for a moment. The Brother
Man looked over and said at last
"What have you been preaching about
since you came here?'
ga great many things"
"What are some of the things you
| have preached about?"
"Well'-Philip clasped his hands
over his knees-"I have preached about
| the right and wrong uses of property
| the evil of the saloon, the Sunday as
a day of rest and worship, the necessi

| into this neighborhood, the need OF
living on simpler basis and, lastly

| HAS your church done What yot
have wished?"
| NO" replied Philip, with a sigh.
| "Will it do what sou preach Ough

| Il do not know"
"Why don't you resign?'
The question came with perfect sim
plicity, but it smote Philip almost like
a blow. 1t was spoken with calmnes:
that hardly rose above a whisper, bu
it seemed to the listener almost like ,
shout. The thought of giving up hi
work simply because his church haC
not yet done what he wished or be
cause some of his people did not lik'

nature would do. He looked again a

1t was three weeks after this SER
mon on church work that Philip was
again surprised by his strange visitor
of month before. He had been out
making some visits in company with
his wife When they came back to the
house. there sat the Brother Man on
the doorstep.
AT sight of him Philip felt that same
thrill of expectancy which had passed
over him at his former appearance.
The old man stood up and took off
his hat. He looked very tired and sor-
rowful. But there breathed from his
entire bearing the element of perfect
peace.

added Philip, with his sudden grasp of
practical action. And Mrs. Strong
knew that settled it with her husband.
1t was the custom in Calvary church
for the church committee on new
names for membership to meet at the
minister's house on the Monday even
ing preceding the preparatory service
At that service all names presented by
the committee were formally acted up
on by the church.. The committees ac-
ton was generally considered final,
and the voting was in accordance with
the committees report.
SO when the committee came in that
evening following the Sunday that had
witnessed the conversion of the sexton
Philip had ready a list of names, in
Guiding several young men. 1t was q
very precious list to him. 1t seemed
almost for the first time since he came
to Milton as if the growing opposition
to him was about to be checked and
finally submerged beneath power of
the Holy Spirit, which it was Philips
daily prayer might come and do the
work which he alone could not do. That
was one reason he had borne the feel
ing against himself so calmly.
Philip read the list over to the COM
mittee, saying something briefly about
| nearly all the applicants for member
ship and expressing his joy that the
young men especially were coming in
| to the church family. When he reach
ed the sexton's name, he related SIM

There was an awkward pause then.
