Rev. Charles M, Sheldon. whose at.
tempt to run Topeka newspaper as
Christ would. has attracted widespread
attention and Is most interesting per.
sonality. He might be preaching to
great audiences IN Il 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 on the lecture
platform receiving the plaudits of the
people Of great cities, but he is content
to remain pastor Of modest church
In Topeka and do his work as he did it
before bis 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 very small boy
his parents removed to Dakota. His
father was minister who farmed
weekdays and preached In 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." Tn His Steps"
and "The Crucifixion of Philip Strong
spent most of his boyhood. It, 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

to the fact that an unusual sort Of
preacher was among them.
Then he wrote his stOries-those
which preceded "In His Steps"-and
read them from the pulpit, one Install
ment at time. instead of delivering
sermons He interested his congrega-
ton in his plan to regenerate "Tennes-
sectown," 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. lie
has wife and one child, boy Of 2
years. 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 are still is
suing editions. 1t has been translated
into French, German. Russian, Italian
Armenian, Swedish, Norwegian. Span
ish and dialects Of western Africa. Mr.
Sheldon is by nature retiring mar
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

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 course at Brown uni
versity and then returned to the An
dover Theological seminary.
After 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.
" established Central Congregational
church, In Topeka, in 1883, he gladly
accepted 1t US the opening he had been
waiting for.
Most men would not have thought
the outlook nm inviting one. The little
congregation of 60 had no church build
ing, but held services in dingy little
hall over a grocery store. But he went
to work with a will. AS 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 rich OF
fashionable congregation. nor is it to-
day, bu, it is very much alive.
Early In his pastorate 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 find 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, ant
his congregation saw little of him ex
cept during church services He was
at home scarcely any Of the time bu'

purpose OF the state In acquiring large

He said: THE duty OF the commits
sion is to purchase three timber res
ervations OF 10000 acres each at the
headwaters Of the three principal riv-
ers. the Delaware, Susquehanna and

serves is to raise timber on ground
that will not produce anything else.
The state wants to put the timber
back, and cultivate and rear forests
OF the same order as the extensive
Black Forest in Germany was started.
The elimination in our present ideas
may not be in this generation. 1t took
Germany 200 years to make the ia
nous Black Forest what It Is now.
But the United States will probably
make as much progress in that line
IN fifty years as Germany has done In
two centuries. The climate OF Penn
