trary to his usual habit. asked us the
meeting drew to a close II there were
any present who wanted to begin that
Christian life at the core OF which Mr.
Hardy spoke.
IL see number here not processing
Christians. Are there any who would
like to say that they want to become
Christians and will try to live the
Christ life every dayY
In the pause that followed James
Caxton, who had been sitting In the
back seat. felt as II some power within
and without him were forcing him to
his feet. He grasped his chair as II to
hold himself down. but the Holy Spirit
whispered to him. "Son, this will be
the beginning Of new life to thee"
And so James Caxton arose and said
he wanted to be a Christian. aud from
that moment he dated his strong, con.
secrated life. a life that bids fair to be-
come famous In the world yet. and his
action was the beginning Of new life
In that church and community, but we
cannot dwell on that in the course OF
this history.
Oh. Robert Hardy. the good God Is
blessing thee In this thy week Of trial!

formerly he had been faithful to his

could take his place at once. He felt
that his duty to the company and to

So he staid and worked on, praying
as he worked for his dear ones and
hoping, as no bad news came from
home, that Clara was better. He had
been to the telephone several times and
had two or three short talks with his
wife, and now, as 1t began to grow
dark In the Office, just as the lights
were turned on, the bell rang again,
and Mrs. Hardy called him up to tell
him that the minister, Mr.. Jones, had

It was a SPONTANEOUS meeting.

1t was a spontaneous meeting. The
minister briefly opened with the OK
pressed desire that God would bless
the suffering. prepare the dying and
comfort the living, and almost instant.
ly n service Of prayer began. which
was like food IN Its continuous out
pouring. The people seemed urged 10y
some Irresistible feeling to relieve the
pent up strain of the day In prayer
and such prayers had not been heard
in that church for many years.
A similar scene was witnessed near
the White River Junction railroad dis
aster in 1887 In church near the acci
dent. The entire morning service was
given up to prayer. which seemed the
only healthy relief to people suffering
from an overwhelming horror.
1t was during the first pause that oc

CHAPTER VIII.

Robert finished most Of the work,
toiling as never In all his life before.
and started for home at @. On the way
he made inquiries concerning George,
but nobody had seen him since the
evening before. When he reached the
house, he found that his wife, utterly
worn out, had lain down for little
sleep, and Alice was caring for the pa
tients with calm courage and quiet
cheerfulness that revealed the girls
strong, self reliant character. Clara 8
condition had not changed. She still
lay as If sleeping. Alice reported that
once In the afternoon she had moved
her lips and distinctly called for water.
Mr.. Hardy and Bess sat down to the
supper table by themselves. and Bess
again told how she had been saved
from even scratch in that terrible
fall. 1t was indeed remarkable that
the child did not seem to suffer even
from the general shock and reaction
from the disaster.
After a brief meal Mr.. Hardy went
up stairs to Clara again. His chief
anxiety now was for her. He believed
that II the doctors fears were realized
she would become insane. 1t was not
possible that a person of her tempera-
ment and passion could be otherwise In
case she should come to consciousness
Of her condition.
As the evening wore on Mr.. Hardy
felt that his duty lay in his own home
for that night, and he would have to
see his minister some other time. He
thought Of the prayer meeting with
regret and sat by the bed Of the un-
conscious girl wondering how 1t was
possible that for all these years gone
by he had been so Indifferent to one Of
the best and most precious opportu
mites for growing in spiritual man
hood. He heard the bell ring for serv.

his face In his hands praying.
The prayer meeting In Mr.. Jones'
church was generally very quiet af.

especially those who came to the meet.
ing only occasionally. thought 1t was
stupid. But 1t was a noticeable fact
that those who attended regularly
were the ones who did the most work
In the church and the ones who grew
stronger and sweeter In the Christian
life. There was usually no regular sub
ject given out There was very little
talking done: From beginning to close
1t was nearly all prayer. Mr.. Jones
did not feel afraid of the long pauses.
He believed modern American life to
be 30 full Of nervousness and hurry
that It would not hurt any one to sit
still and think minute or two.
That was the reason SO many people
called Mr.. Jones' prayer meetings dull.
because they were not rushing all the
time with sensational or exciting re-
marks and incidents. Mr.. Jones didn't
believe that was what a prayer meet
ing was for. and he planned for II ne.
cordIngly. But this particular evening
was an exception. The great railroad
accident SO near them had stirred the
entire community to its sympathetic
depths. Several families in Mr.. Jones'
church had been sufferers Az II by
tacit consent there was IN unusually
large gathering at the church. and the
subject was Of necessity TIE recent
disaster.
