him with a smile.
"Oh, well, that may be, Sarah. But
let me read you the other letter." he
went on without discussing the salary

o. .. CHAPEL HILL CHURCH, ELMDALE.
Rev. Philip Strong:
Dear Brother-At a meeting Of the Elmdale
Chapel Hill church, held last week Thursday, it
was unanimously voted to extend you a call to
become pastor Of the church at a salary Of 81, 600
a year, with two months vacation, to be selected
at your own convenience. The Chapel Hill church
is in a prosperous condition, and many OF the
members recall your in the college with
much pleasure. This is especially strong cen
ter for church work. the proximity Of the boys
academy and the university making the situation
Of great power to a man who thoroughly I'M
derstands and enjoys young men, We know you
do. We most earnestly hope you will consider
this call not as purely formal, but as from the
hearts OF the people. We are. very cordially
yours in behalf of the church,
PROFESSOR WELIMAN,
Chairman Of the Board of Trustees
what do you think of that" asked
the minister again.
1.-THE salary is just the same. isn't
itY
"Now, Sarah" said the minister, eff
l didn't know what a generous, unself-
ish heart you really have, should get
very veXed at you for talking about
the salary as if that was the most i'm
portant thing"
"The salary is very important, though.
But you know, Philip, would be as
willing as you are to live on no salary
if the grocer and butcher would con-
tinue to feed us for nothing. | wish
from the bottom of my heart that we
could live without money"
1T is bother, isn't itY' replied Phil
ip, so gravely that his wife laughed
heartily at his tone.
"Well, the question is, what to do
with the letters" resumed the minister.
(Which Of the two churches do you
prefer?" asked his wife,

church as far as my preference is con-
cerned."
"Then why not accept their call. if
that is the way you feelT'
Because, while | should like to go
to Elmdale, feel as If ought to go to

"Now, Philip, don't see why, in Q
choice of this kind, you don't do as
you feel inclined to do and accept the
call that pleases you most Why should
ministers be doing what they ought in
stead of what they like? You never
please yourself"
'Well, Sarah" replied Philip good
naturally. "this Is the way of 1t. The

Philip Strong could not decide what
was best to do.
The postman that evening had
brought him two letters, and he had
just finished reading them. He sat
with his hands clasped over his knee,
leaning back in his chair and looking
out through his study window. He
was evidently thinking very hard, and
the two letters were the cause of it.
Finally he rose, went to his study
door and called down the stairs:
Sarah, l wish you would come up
here. l want your help"
'All right, Philip, I'll be up in a min
ute" responded a voice from below,
and very soon the minister's wife came
up stairs into her husbands study.

she came into the room. at must be
something very serious, for you don't
call me up here unless you are in great

you called me, you had shut the tassel

So he began at once, and we will
copy the letters, emitting dates:
CALVARY CHURCH, MILTON.
Rev. Philip Strong:
Dear Sir.At a meeting OF the Milton Calvary
church, held last week, it voted unanimously
to extend you call to become pastor OF this
church at a salary of 81, 900 year. We trust that
you will find it in accordance with the will of
the Head of the church to accept this decision on
the part Of Calvary church and become its pastor.
The church is in good condition and has the
hearty support of most Of the leading families in
the town. 1t is the strongest in membership and
financially Of the seven principal churches here.
We await your reply, confidently hoping you will
decide to come to U.S. We have been without
settled pastor now for nearly a year, since the
death Of DR.. Brown, and have united upon
you the person most eminently fitted to fill the
pulpit Of Calvary church. The grace of our Lord
be with you. In behalf Of the church,

Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

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 it was. in reality, the result of
a deep conviction that he ought to 60
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 tickle and changeable.
In the present case Philip acted with
his customary quickness and knew
very well that his action was unalter-
able.
