From the character of other remarks
made by republican senators the infer

menace protected interests by adopting
treaty that will accomplish by legis-

bought about by direct legislative action.

to the fact that an unusual sort OF
preacher was among them.
Then he wrote his stories-those
which preceded I'm His S~teps"-and
read them from the pulpit, one INSTALL
ment at a time, instead of delivering
sermons. He interested his congrega-
ton in his plan to %regenerate ''Tennes-
seetown," one of the squalid suburbs
of Topeka.
Such is the outline of the career
which has brought him fame. He is a
hard worker and lives modestly. He
has a wife and one child, a boy of 2
gears. His father also lives near him in
Topeka and helps him with his work.
Although Mr.. Sheldon has written a
dozen books, he is known best as the
author of 'In His Steps," The work
was not copyrighted in England, and
20 publishing houses there + still is
suing editions. 1t has been translated
into French, German, Russian, Italian,
Armenian, Swedish, Norwegian, Span
fsh and dialects of western Africa. Mr..
Sheldon is by nature a retiring man
and almost breads %notoriety. When
told that the people who read his books
would like to know about the author,
he said: "That is mere idle curiosity

have my church work talked about

among whom l live 1 give in my ser
mons. The message l have for the

begun to write stories. They were
printed in the local paper, some Of
them. "And they were just as good"
says his father. 'as those he writes
now"
As his father was anxious for him to
become a minister, the young man
went east and entered Phillips acade-
my. Andover, Mass, where thousands
Of theological students are trained.
Later he took a curse at Brown uni
versity and then returned to the An
dover Theological seminary.
After a summer in Europe he entered
the ministry and began preaching in
Waterbury, vt. But the spirit of the
west was in him, SO when he received
a call to become the pastor of the new
ly established Central Congregational
church, in Topeka, in 1888, he gladly
accepted it as the opening he had been
waiting for.
Most men would not have thought
the outlook an inviting one. The little
congregation of 60 had no church build
ing. but held services in a dingy little
hall over a grocery store. But he went
to work with a will. AS a result of his
energetic methods the little hall was
soon abandoned and a substantial stone
church erected. The congregation was
increased to 300. 1t was not a rich or
fashionable congregation. nor is it to-
day, but it is very much alive.
Early in his passionate Mr.. Sheldon
began to employ strikingly original
methods. He was not satisfied with
the kind of work usually done by min
listers. He wanted to know what ideas
the masses Of the people had on the
subject Of Christianity, and he wanted
to ind out about their daily lives and
occupations.
With this desire in his heart he asked
his congregation to excuse him from
pastoral work for three months, and
his congregation saw little of him ex-
cept during church sNlsyices. He was
at home scarcely any Of the time, but
very few people knew what he was do.

Rev. Charles N. Sheldon, whose at
tempt to run a Topeka newspaper Rs
Christ would, has attracted widespread
attention and is a most interesting per-
sonality. He might be preaching to
great audiences in q rich church, he
might be making an immense fortune
simply by collecting royalties on books
whose editions run into the millions Of
copies, or he might be IN the lecture
platform receiving the plaudits Of the
people of great cities, but he is content
to remain pastor of a modest church
in Topeka and do his work as he did it
before his name became known in
many lands.
Here is the story of his career: He
was born in Wellsville, N. Y, in 1857.
While he was still a very small boy
his parents removed to Dakota. His
father was a minister who farmed
weekdays and preached in a little
church on Sunday. The Sheldon farm
was just outside Of Yankton, and there
the man who was to write Robert
Hardy's Seven Days" "In His Steps"
and "The Crucifxion Of Philip Strong"
spent most Of his boyhood. 1t was
farm work which built up the broad
shoulders and developed the muscular
limbs of the man who has become the
foremost of religious authors.
AS a boy Mr.. Sheldon went to school
in Yankton. Even at that time he had

the railroad company, and. dressed as

visited their patients with them. An
other week was spent with the law
yers in their offices and in court.
In the hard times Of 1893 Mr.. Shell
don received many applications for aid
from persons who were out Of employ
ment. He determined to find out for
himself whether OF not employment
could be secured by a common laborer,
and, putting on a suit Of clothes, he
started out in search Of it. Every one
who ever employed labor received a
call from him. but he was invariably
turned away with the information that
no laborers were needed. On the fol-
lowing Sunday he related his expert
ences, and the people of Topeka awoke
