Don't you feel that we have tried

and went back toward the town. When
they reached the first houses. they took
the street which led past the ruins OF

back had been in silence.
When they reached the corner where
the church and parsonage had stood,
they stopped and looked at the ruins.
These were mournful, as such ruins
always are. The foundation line Of
the church building looked pitifully
small to Malcolm as he thought Of the
little congregations that had so often
met there for worship or the prayer
service. And still he could not even

Were they about to break that prom.

the struggle? Was 1t possible that
they were going to declare themselves

Were they about to choose the easy,

away from duty as towards? Was 1t
duty to remain in Conrad? How about
his duty to the temperance conflict?
