''That's nothing" exclaimed one Of
the class after the laugh subsidized. II
had a great time two weeks ago when
l went up to Manchester to preach. I
laid my notes down on the desk, and
there was a strong breeze blowing
across the pulpit, which stood directly
between two open windows, and while
the anthem was being sung half my
sermon blew out of one Of the win
dows."
'The congregation was spared just
so much, then, wasn't it?" said man
down on the bottom step.
'Accidents will happen to any one,"
said Kirk quietly. But mine are not
accidents; they're habits Of life. can
overcome them, though. The churches
don't know that; so don't blame them
for not giving me CALI
''Well, think it's shame, as said,"
the assistant pastor of the institutional
church repeated 1.-The churches think
more Of the way man dresses and be-
HAYES in the pulpit than they do Of
what he says. And they criticise ev-
erything from his prayers to the polish
Of his boots."
There was silence again. The class
had been over all that many times be-
fore, and they were practically unit
in their opinion of what the churches
seemed to demand in a successful can
didate for a call.
Finally some one required to the
class picture again.
II don't believe Kinks in this pic
ture at all. He sat too far out. The
photographer kept telling him to move
in farther. But I believe he moved
out again just at the last minute"
II only moved one Of my feet OUT
said Kirk solemnly. "I thought one
of them was enough. didn't want to
have to pay extra for more than my
share of the photograph"
"But we want the whole of you in
the picture, Kirk" said the man next
to him, laying an affectionate hand on
Kinks arm. The entire class turned
again toward the awkward, shambling
figure and seemed to repeat the gesture
Of the one classmate. Then the talk
drifted back again to the future plans
Of the members and to serious and hu-
morous "reminiscences of the three
years course until one after another
went away and the class group was
broken up into little knots of two and
three as the men walked to their rooms
or fingered under the great elms, arm
in arm.
Kirk and the companion who had
laid his hand on his friends arm re-
mained little while on the steps.
"What will you do, Kirk?''
II think l shall offer myself to the
Home Missionary society and ask them
to send me to the hardest place they
can find out west somewhere
"But how about all your scholarship,
your-your ability?" The other man
hesitated for the right word.
Kirk colored slightly, the first indica-
ton he had shown Of sensitiveness in
that direction.
II can use anything l know any
where. Preach I must, even if I have

thing. l feel hungry to have a parish
Of my own"
The other man was silent. He had
never felt just like that, but he thought
he could understand.
II hope you will have such a church
some time. I would like to be a men,

"Thank you" Kirk smiled. "Wilson,
II you were that church I would have
a unanimous call. I am sure there is
work for me somewhere in Gods
great world, else why did he give me
such a passion to speak to men and
love them?"
Malcom Kirk looked out across the
great seminary campus and spoke with
a conscious cry of heart longing. The
beautiful June day was nearly gone.

chapel, and her eyes met those of Fran
els Raleigh. He smiled, and she re-
turned the smile, while slight color
deepened on her face And he thought
to himself it was certainly more inter-
esting to glance now%and then at face
like Dorothy Gilbert's than to stare
steadily at a tall, solemn young man
on the platform who was talking about
the PHILOSOPHY of the Prophetic Idea"
and it's evolution in the Old Testament.
The programme was finished at last,
and the friends of the graduates lin
gered about the platform congratulate
ing the different speakers. Very many
Of the visitors came up and warmly
greeted Kirk. Among them was one
alert, active, middle aged man who
said he wanted to see Kirk especially
on matter of Importance. So the two
went up to Kinks room, and the stran-
ger explained his business briefly.

CHAPTER II.

KIRK RECEIVES HIS SECOND CALL AND
ACTS UPON IT.
'Tm superintendent of missions for
Kansas. I want you to take church
out there. You're just the man I've
been looking for. Don't say No. for
must have you.''
Kirk looked at the superintendent
thoughtfully. Was this the second call
he had mentioned?
"There's this scholarship. l feel the
need of the training abroad
"All right Go on with that. But
there's church that will be ready for
you at the end Of your year there. It's
in the growing town of Conrad and a
great opening for hard work. The
man there now will leave at the end of
the year."
Kirk said nothing. He looked out of
his window. Right across the campus
stood the beautiful residence of Doro-
thy Gilbert's father. It was not the
first time he had looked in that direc-
ton.
"Of course" continued the superin-
tendent briskly, "you understand the
church is home missionary church
and cannot offer you a large salary.
They can raise perhaps $4OO or possi-
bly, $3.50. The society will grant 5000
or $3.50. You could count on about
$500 probably
Kirk was silent. He turned his head
away from the window and glanced
around his room. The shabby backed
books, the simple pieces of furniture,
the faded carpet, the meager furnish
ings, all smote him keenly. 1t was not
the first time his poverty had thrust it.
self upon him coarsely, but he seemed
to feel it more deeply than ever. AS
he faced the superintendent who was
waiting for a reply Kirk had a most
astonishing and absurd feeling come
over him. He was not thinking about
his German scholarship or about the
superintendent. The superintendent
would have been smitteh into bewilder-
ment If he could have read Kinks
thought. What Kirk was saying to
himself was, How can Dorothy Gil
bert and I live on $500 a year in a
home missionary church?"
"Well,' the superintendent spoke,
with slight trace Of impatience,
what do you say? Give me a favor
able answer. You can make your mark
out there; plenty Of hard work, but
good field. Tell me you'll take it,
every well, I promise to take the
field if it is open when I finish my
studies abroad
Kirk spoke quietly, but his lips closed
firmly, and he turned his head and
looked out over the campus again.
There was little more talk between
them, and the superintendent went out.
The minute he was gone Kirk pulled
down his curtains and locked his door.
1t was little after noon, and the reg
ular commencement dinner was served
at 1. He walked up and down his
darkened room talking to himself. His
future was at last decided-at least for
\ time. He had some place in the
world. Some one wanted him. He was

For he had told her of his love before

HAD A BUG IN HIS EAR.

Newington, Nov 1.-Several weeks ago Gustavus D. Mills was taken i'll in Hartford and brought to the home of his son Anson in an unconscious condition. He had convulsions and it was thought at the time he could not live, Last week he had a similar at tack. though not so severe Later. having been troubled for several months with deafness. he consulted a doctor about it. An examination brought to light in one ear bug about the size of June bug, and the physi- clan says that it is possible that the serious attacks which MT Mills has suffered and which have puzzled all attending physicians may have been caused by this bug. Since it's removal Mr Mills's deafness has gone and he feels better than he has for two months.

THANKSGIVING DINNER TO POOR

THANKSGIVING DINNER TO FOUR
 Superintendent Edgar Forrest of the Union Rescue mission believes in ap- piled Christianity. He has shown in many ways the practical side of God s work in his work among the people. especially the unfortunate and poor, since he came to Waterbury to take charge of the rescue work and which he is compelled to severe his connec- ton from on account of i'll health. But he will remain until December 1 in charge of the work, and before leaving be has decided to give Thanksgiving dinner to the poor. Last Thanksgiv- ing 300 were fed at the mission and in the homes under the direction of MT Forrest The dinner was a great sue cess in every way and it will be re- peated again this year. MT Forrest asks the cooperation of the people in supplying the dinner. He will call at the business houses and homes for your aid, as he did last year, and hopes that there will be generous response, and that many a poor home and un- fortunate man may be able to forget their condition for while in the good dinner supplied by the generosity of the people of the city.

All this talk and gossip in the re- publican Newspapers about constitu- tionaI reform is considered aS so much gulf by '.those on the inside'' and in- telligent people. And for republicans to pretend thaG they are heart and soul in the matter furnishes food for many a laugh. One might as well eX pect q business man to engage in some thing that will not bring him in as much return as that which he is at present engaged in. Constitutional re- form would mean to the republican party the loss of their senator in con gress, in the first place: it would mean that thousands of men who at present are holding down good fat positions would be cast on the cold, cold world. The borough court that now adorns the cross roads of every little town and village in the state would be ob- liberated and their judges, justices of the peace, grand jurors. prosecuting at torneyS and clerks would have to seek elsewhere for something as equally ssfat. And again it is question of considerable doubt if a republican gov, error would ever sit again in the. capi- fO1 Such are few of the changes that would come with constitutional reform, and as the republicans are supposed to be intelligent enough to know good thing when they see it, it is more than common sense could e1- pect than to think for one moment feaf they are Interested in constitu- zona1 reform for the betternlent of l7kiT5rS m general when they are the
