The Delegates.

United States Senator Thomas C. Platt.
United States Senator C. NJ. Depew, Gov.
Roosevelt and State Committee Chairman
B. d. Odell as delegates at large, and Ed
ward II. Hunter. of Buffalo, and f. A.
Mitchell. of Rochester. as electors at large.
The convention was not enthusiastic at
its morning session. but was demonstra-
tive at its afternoon session. 1t had few
spectators when It met at noon and a good
gathering when 1t met in the late after
noon. II demonstrated that so far as in
dividual delegates went they were not de-
cided in their preference as to whether
GOV. Roosevelt should be candidate for
governor or for vice president. whether
they wanted T. L. Woodruff for lieutenant
governor again or vice president When
the temporary and permanent chsirmen
announced the candidacy OF Gov Roose-
Welt for a second term. the convention
went wild with enthusiasm. but when MIR.
sherman coupled the names Of Mckinley
and Roosevelt the applause was stiu great
er. So II was impossible to diagnose the
attitude OF the majority OF the delegates
toward the governor.
1t Is believed. however. that the general
trend is toward the denomination of Roose-
Welt and the pushing of Woodruff for sec
ond place on the national ticket
There Were No Contests.
The convention had the unique distinc-
ton of having no business for the COM
mittee Of contested seats to perform and
of having no interruption of the pro-
gramme laid out by the organization.

was sinking rapidly. He was conscious,
however, and at Philips quiet question
concerning his peace with God a smile
passed over his face, and he moved his
lips. Philip understood him. A sud-
den thought occurred to Philip. He
opened the basket, took out the bread
and wine, set them on the small table
and said:
"Disciple Of Jesus, would you like to
partake of the blessed communion
once more before you see the King in
his glory?"
The CLEAN of satisfaction in the
mans eyes told Philip enough. The
sexton said in a low voice, s'He be-
longed to the southern Episcopal
church in Virginia." Something In the
wistful look of the sexton gave Philip
an inspiration for what followed.
Brother" he said turning to the
sexton, what is to hinder your bap-
tism and partaking of the communion? :?
Yes, this is Christ's church wherever
his true disciples are"

the afternoon to visit the sick and the
sorrowful The shutting down Of the
mills had resulted in an immense
amount of suffering and trouble. As
spring came on some few of the mills
had opened, and men had found work
in them at a reduction of wages. The
entire history of the enforced idleness
of thousands Of men in Milton during
that eventful winter would make a
large volume of thrilling narrative.
Philips story but touches on this 9TH
er. He had grown rapidly familiar
with the different phases of life which
loafed and idled and drank itself away
during that period of inactien. Hun
dreds of men had drifted away to 9TH
er places in search of work. Almost as
many more had taken to the road to
swell the ever increasing number of
professional tramps and in time to de-
velop into petty thieves and criminals. |
But those who remained had a desper-
ate struggle with poverty. Philip grew
sick at heart as he went among thel
people and saw the complete helpless
thy and community Of feeling between|
the church people and these represent
atives Of the physical labor of the
world. Every time he went out to dol
his visiting this feeling deepened in|
him. This Sunday afternoon in partic-|
ular it seemed to him as if the depres-|
sion and discoura cement of the tene-
ict, ef u
great burden, bearing him down to the
earth with sorrow and heartache.
He had been in the habit of going|
out to communion Sunday with the
emblems Of Christ to observe the rite|
by the bedsides of the aged or i'll or|
those who could not get out to church.
He carried with him this time a basket
containing a part Of the communion
service. After going to the homes of
one Oh two invalid church members he
thought of the person who had BEEN
mentioned by the man in the morning.
as living in the tenement district and
in critical condition. He had secured
his address, and after little inquiry
he soon found himself in a part of the
tenements near to him.
He climbed up three flights of stairs
and knocked at the door. 1t was open
ed by the sexton. He greeted Philip
with glad surprise.
The minister smiled sadly.
$50, my brother, it is true you are
serving your Master here? My heart
is grieved at the action of the church
this morning.
Don't say anything, MI: Strong.
You did all you could, but you are just
in time to see him. The sexton point
ed into small back room. "He is 60
ing fast. l didn't suppose he was so
near. l would have asked you to come,
but didn't think he was failing so."
Philip followed the sexton into the
room. The son of the old slave master

In possession OF great comforts and
privileges. That IS the reason / call
on this church to do Christ's work IN
his name and give itself to save that
part Of our town."
This is but the briefest of the
sketches Of Philips sermon. It was a
part OF himself, his experience, his
heart belief. He poured It out on the
vast audience with little saving of his
vitality. And that Sunday he went
home at night exhausted, with q feel
Ing Of weariness partly due to his
work during the week among the peo-
pie. The calls upon his time and
strength had been incessant. and he
did not know where or when to stop.
1t was three weeks after this SER
mon on church work that Philip was
again surprised by his strange visitor
Of month before. He had been out
making some visits in company with
his wife. When they came back to the
house, there sat the Brother Man on
the doorstep. Il = : n
At sight of him Philip felt that same
thrill of expectancy which had passed
over him at his former appearance. -
The old man stood up and took of
his hat. He looked very tired and sor-
rowful. But there breathed from his
entire bearing the element of perfect
peace.
Brother Man," said Philip cheerily,
''come in and rest yourself"
"Can you keep me overnight?'
The question was put wistfully.
Philip was struck by the difference
between this almost shrinking request
and the self invitation of a month be-
fore. ''

room for you. You are welcome. Come
in.".
So they went in, and after tea the
two sat down together while Mrs.
Strong was busy in the kitchen. A

r "You have moved since l saw you

~Yes," replied Philip. You did not

"My advice?' The question came in
a hesitating tone. Did l advise you

that sometimes troubles me is, Am

saying what. he would say In this
age Of the world? There Is one thing
Of which am certain-l am trying to

mistakes | make are those which
spring from my failure to interpret his
action right. And yet do feel deep
in me that If he was pastor Of this
church today he would do most of the
things have done. He would preach
most Of the truths l have proclaimed.
Don't you think so, SarahY'
Il don't know, Philip. Yes, think

"And in the matter of the sexton,
Sarah, wouldn't Christ tell Calvary

"What problem:"
"Why, the problem OF the church and
the people-winning them, saving

"Are your church members moving
out Of their elegant houses and coming
down here to live?" The old man ask
ed the question in utmost simplicity.
"No; did not ask them"
"You ought to-"
what! Do you believe my people
ought literally to leave their possess
sions and live among the people?''
Philip could not help asking the
question, and all the time he was con-
scious of strange absurdity. mingled
with an unaccountable respect for his
visitor and his opinion.
"Yes." came the reply. with >the
calmness of light. 'Christ would de-
mand it if he were pastor of Calvary
church in this age. The church mem.
bers, the Christians in this century,
must renounce all that they have or
they cannot be his disciples"
Philip sat profoundly silent. The
words spoken so quietly by this crea-
ture tossed upon his own soul like a
vessel in tempest. He dared not say
anything for a moment. The Brother
Man looked over and said at last
"What have you been preaching about
since you came hereY'~
"A great many things"
what are some Of the things you
have preached about?'' :
"Welp-Philip clasped his hands
over his knees-~1 have preached about
the right and wrong uses of property,
the evil Of the saloon, the Sunday as
day Of rest and worship, the necessi-
ty Of moving our church building down
into this neighborhood, the need Of
living on simpler basis and, lastly,
the true work OF q church in these
days."
"Has your church done what you
have wished?"
INC" replied Philip, with sigh.
"Will it do what you preach ought
to be doneY'
II do not know"
'.Why don't you resignY
The question came with perfect sim.
plicity, but It smote Philip almost like
a blow. It was spoken with calmness
that hardly nose above whisper, but
It seemed to the listener almost like
shout. The thought of giving up his
work simply because his church had
not vet ddne what he wished or be-
cause some Of his people did not like
him was the last thing q. man Of his
nature would do. He looked again at
the man and said:
"Would you resign If you were in my
place. r.

Philip almost doubted IL. his visitor
had replied. Then he said, .sWhat has
