"All together forty-five Christian commu-
mites were devastated, in which no religious
service of any kind can be held. Should the
soldiers which were sent to our help be re-
called by events occurring on the seacoasts

Ihey got up temperance meeting an:l

liquor people got together and in so:.u,
way got the confidence OF the town cu
gineer. l don't know whether he WAS
a liquor man or not. but they GOT ti.:,
on their side. The engineer discovered
that the town was not laid ont r;.r,,
and he got authority to- change H.,

the job. the temperance people found
out that they lived lust outside Of the
line of the town, no matter what par,

man could stand in his back yard and
talk to the man whose place was right
up against his place and who was q,

A Painful Memory

A lady who lives on Morgan stree,
took her 5-yearold son to Il photoc
rapher's to have his picture taken
She was anxious to secure a good like
ness at this particular sitting because
she wished to distribute the pictures
among some friends who were then
her guests.
The child's idea of the affair, how.
ever, did not apparently harnionize
with that Of his mother. for when
the man with the camera began to ad.
just the lens and direct it toward little
Edward that young person set up what
was unquestionably a howl.
In vain did the mother call into use
her utmost forensic abilities. Edward
did not want his picture taken.
"Why. my child" she said soothing.
ly, "the gentleman won't hurt YOU
just smile and keep still moment.
and 1t will be all over before you know
it,"
Yes, l know, mamma" whimpered
the youth, with the tears running
down his cheeks, 'but that's what YOU
told me at the dentists" ."--St. Louis
Post-Dispatch.

ly proud Of their father and Of what he
has done.
"You ask, What has Malcom Kirk
done?
I'm the first place, in spite of what
seemed like impossibilities, he succeed
ed years ago in building a church and
parsonage, both Of which had been
burned down, it is supposed, by the
whisky men during the fight which
went on before the amendment was
tarried. The church is a comfortable
structure, seating 300 or 400 people,
with several classrooms attached. The
parsonage is a good house Of eight
rooms, fairly we'll furnished, although

Ing luxury even in the slightest degree.
but the building Of the church and
The Princeton union., 1900-08-30

parsonage Is in one sense, the yery
smallest thing that Kirk has done. Il
IS not too much to say that he and his
wife havn revolutionized the moral
life OF this whole town. When they
came here about 20 years ago, they
round community of 1,5OO people. A
great amount Of lawless, thoughtless
life crowded the saloons, the dance
houses, the cheap resorts Of amuse-
ment. Kirk and his wife, after pass
ing through an experience Of great
suffering and temptation, most of
which has always been unknown even
to their own people, came out Of their
af1liction with astonishing power over
the life Of the place. There Is no uues-
tion that the very thinking of the peo-
pie here is shaped by Malcom Kinks
Christianity. The promise he and his
wife made when they came here has
been constantly in mind. The number
of lost men and boys who have been at
tracted to Kinks ministry and to Mrs.
Kinks singing and playing and led to
Christ is amazing. Even the business
ana political life of the town has been
shaped by Kinks purpose in life. That
means great deal, as any one will ac-
knowledge. This fact, however, is
shown by the common allusions to Con-
rad by other towns. They speak Of it
as 'Kirkville.' A higher compliment to
mans influence it would be difficult
to find.
