Percival and Miss scoggins.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
WARREN, February 5.-We had
tsome real winter weather during the
month of January. Small grain has
been damaged some by the hard freeze.
Oats are badly killed in some places.
Wheat, Of course, is not damaged
much.
There is not much being said on the
subject !; but it is very likely that if he
prices of fertilizers advance much
there will be corresponding decrease
in the quantity used.
The mumps are operating in the
eastern section Of the Blackjacks.
Our pastor, Rev. J. G. Stoll, and the
Rev. Mr.. Brasly, of Rock Hill, ex-
changed pulpits last Sabbath. The
Rev. Beasly occupied the pulpit at An
lioch at II o'clock a. NJ, and would
have gone to AdDah in the afternoon
but was prevented by rain. Rev. Mr..
Beasly preacned 1or US seEerai times
last year and We were glad TO hear
him again. He is quite an able
preacher.
1t is the custom of great many
country Sunday schools to 60 into win
ter quarters during the winter months;
but we have not done so at Antioch
yet and it is not our intention to do so
ut all.
Cupid is still at work in these parts.
He succeeded in working up right
good job last week. The contracting
parties were Mr.. w. S. Percival and
Miss jamie Scoggins. The ceremony
was performed at the home of the
brides parents, by Rev. ]. c. Stoll, on
last Wednesday at o'clock p. No.,
after which supper was served to Mr..
and Mrs. Percival and few near
friends. The next day Mr.. and Mrs.
Percival entertained friends and rela-
lives at their home.
With the exception of bad colds,
which are common, the health of this
neighborhood is very good. s. K. J.

and the preachers as q lot Of weak,
impractical men. with no knowledge Of
the real state Of affairs? Are we not
divided over our denominational diff
ferences when we ought to be united
in one common work for the saving Of
the whole man? do not have any
faith in the plan proposed to give our
benevolence or to district the town and
visit the poor. All those things are
we'll enough in their place. But mat
ters are In such shape here now and
all over the country that we must do
something larger than that. We must
do as Christ would do If he were here.
What would he do? Would he give
anything less than his whole life to It?
Would he not give himself? The
church as an institution Is facing the
greatest opportunity it ever saw. If
we do not seize it on the largest possi-
BILE scale. we shall miserably fail Of
doing our duty"

little while, but he came home early.

on the morrow, and he had not fully
prepared his sermon. He was behind
with it. AS he came in his wife met
him with a look of news on her face.
"Guess who Is here" she said in
whisper.
"The Brother Man." replied Philip
quickly.
Eyes. but you never can guess what
has happened. He Is In there with
William. And the Brother Man-Phil-

NOVELETTE, Brother Man has discover
ed that William Is his only son, who
cursed his father and deserted him
when he gave away his property. They
are in there together. could not keep
the Brother Man out"
Philip and Sarah stepped to. the door
of the little room. which was open, and
looked in.
The Brother Man was kneeling at the
side Of the bed praying, and his son
was listening. with one hand tight
clasped In his fathers and the tears
rolling over his pale face.

CHAPTER Xxx.

We cannot do better than give the
evening paper account Of the last serv-
Ice in the series. With one or two
slight exaggerations the account was
faithful picture Of one Of the most re-
markable meetings ever held in Milton:
Last night. it will be safe to say,
those who were fortunate enough to
secure standing room in Rev. Philip
Strong's church heard and saw things
that no other church in this town ever
witnessed.
"In the first place, it was a most as
tonishing crowd Of people. Several OF
the church members were present. but
they were in the minority. The mill
men swarmed in and took possession.
1t is not exactly correct to say that
they lounged on the easy cushioned
uews of the Calvary church. for there
was not room enough TO lounge. but
they filled up the sanctuary and SEEM
ed to enjoy the comfortable luxury of
it.
"The subject of the evening was
Wealth. and the president Of the
trades assembly of Milton made a
statement of the view which working
men in general have of wealth as re-
lated to labor Of hand or brain. He
stated what to his mind was the rea-
son for the discomfort of so many at
the sight of great numbers Of rich men
in times Of suffering or sickness or
lack of work. why, just look at the
condition of things here and in every
large city all over the world he said.
Men are suffering from the lack Of
common necessaries while men of
means with money in the bank con-
tinue to live just as luXuriously and
spend just as much as they ever did
for things not needful for happiness
1t has been in the power of men or
wealth in Milton to prevent almost If
not all Of the suffering here last win
ter and spring. It. has been in their

real heart of the subject. He propos-
ed that every church in town. regard
less Of it's denomination, give itself In
it's pastor and members to the practical
solution Of the social troubles by per-
sonal contact with the suffering and
sickness in the district; that the
churches all throw open their doors ev-
cry day in the week. weekdays as we'll
as Sundays. for the discussion and agi-
tation Of the whole matter; that the
country and the state be petitioned to
take speedy action toward providing
necessary labor for the unemployed,
and that the churches cut down all un-
necessary expenses Of paid choirs, do
away with pew rents, urge wealthy
members to consecrate their riches to
the solving Of the problem and IN ev-
cry way, by personal sacrifice and
common union, let the churches Of Mil
ton rs a unit work and pray and sacri-
flee to make themselves felt as a real
power on the side Of the people in their
present great need. 1t was Christian
America, but Philips plan was not
adopted. 1t was discussed with some
warmth, but declared to be visionary,
impracticable, unnecessary, not for the
church to undertake, beyond its func-
ton, etc. Philip was disappointed, but
he kept his temper.
"Well, brethren" he said, what can
we do to help the solution Of these
questions? Is the church of America to
have no share in the greatest problem
Of human life that agitates the world
today? Is it not true that the people
in this town regard the church as an
insignificant organization. unable to
help at the very point Of human crisis,

to bear other peoples burdens. The
very first principle of Christian social
ism is unselfishness.
"'Ne shall never see a better condi-
ton of affairs in this country until the
men of wealth realize their RESPONSE
bility and privilege.
"Christ never said anything against
the poor. He did speak some tremen
dous warnings in the face Of the selfish
rich.
"'The only safe thing for man Of
wealth to do is to ask himself, What
would Christ do with my money If he
had it%
ut would be impossible to describe
the effect Of the Rev. Mr.. Strong's talk
upon the audience. Once the applause
was so long continued that 1t was
full minute before he could 60 on.
When he finally closed with tremen-
dous appeal to the wealth Of Milton to
use its power for the good Of the place,
for the tearing down and remodeling
of the tenements, for the solution Of
the problem Of no work for thousands
Of desperate men, the audience rose to
lbs feet and cheered again and again.
"At the close Of the meeting the min
lister was surrounded by a crowd Of
men, and an after meeting was held, at
which steps were taken to form COM
mittee composed Of prominent church
people and labor leaders to work, If
possible. together toward common
end
at was rumored yesterday that sew
eral Of the leading members Of Cal
vary church are very much dissatisfied
with the way things have been going
during these Sunday evening meetings
and are likely to withdraw If they
continue. They say that Mr.. Strong's
utterances are socialistic and tend to
inflame the minds Of the people to
acts Of violence. Since the attack on
Mr.. Winter nearly every mill owner
in town goes armed and takes extra
precautions. Mr.. Strong was much
pleased with the result Of the Sunday
night meetings and said they had done
much to bridge the gulf between the
church and the people. He refused to
credit the talk about disaffection in
Calvary church"
In another column Of this same pa
per were five separate accounts Of the
desperate condition Of affairs in the
town. The midnight hold up attacks
were growing in frequency and in
boldness. Along with all the rest the
sickness in the tenement district had
assumed the nature of an epidemic of
fever, clearly caused by the lack of
sanitary regulations, imperfect drain
age and crowding Of families. Clearly
the condition Of matters was growing
serious.
At this time the ministers Of differ
ent churches in Milton held meeting
to determine on course Of action that
would relieve some Of the distress.
Various plans were submitted. Some
proposed districting the town to ascer-
tain the number Of needy families.
Others proposed union Of benevolent
offerings to be given the poor. Anoth-
er group suggested something else. To
Philips mind not one Of the plans sub
mitted went to the root Of the matter.
He was not popular with the other
ministers. Most of them thought he
was sensational. However, he made
q plea for his own plan, which was
radical and as he believed went to the
