CHAPTER XVI.

That was wild dag in Manila. Far
over near the Escolta somebody shot at
a vagrant dog tapping water from lit
tie poolunder one of the many hydrants.
The soldier police essayed an arrest;
the culprit broke and ran; the guard
fired; lot of coolies, taking alarm, fed
jabbering to the river side. The natives,
looking for trouble any moment, rushed
to their homes. Some soldiers on pass
and unarmed tumbled over the tables
and chairs in the Alhambra in their
dash for the open street. \ stampede
sergeant told a bugler to sound to
arms, ard in the twinkling of an eve
the call was taken up from barrack to
barrack, and the news went flashing
out by wire to the extreme front. The
shopkeepers hastily put up their shut
tiers and bolted their doors. Cabs, carts,
quileZ and carromattas-even the street
cars-were instantly seized by the sol
diery scattered ell over town, and util-
lied to take them tearing back to join
their regiments. In five minutes the
business streets downtown were de-

The tableau was over in another sec.

stairs came Billy Gray, the corporal O.

his danger in a flash. Throwing little

The corporal went rolling down the
steps with Latrobe bounding over the

Farmers don't want to forget that
spring is soon here, when we all
should be prepared to put In our seed
in the best possible manner, and after
this open, dry winter no one would
ever think OF doing his seeding with
out an up-to-date shoe drill. Every
farmer can have the very best, latest
improved, up-to-date, light running
and most durable drill now on the
market, and that at very reasonable
price, by giving an order at once to
Geo. G.. Rude, the Brookings imple-
ment and machinery man, for a
Fountain City Drill. II anyone

help at the very point Of human crisis,
and the preachers as a 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? l 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
well 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"
Saturday night he was out calling a
little while. but he came home early.
1t was the first Sunday of the month
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 a
whisper.
"The Brother Man." replied Philip
quickly.
"Yes, but you never can guess what
has happened. He is in there with
William. And the Brother Man-Phil-
ip, it seems like a chapter out of a
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.

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
its 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 a COM
people and labor leaders to work, If
possible, together toward a common
end.
''It 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
inf1ame 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
70 nf off i've in hn
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 a 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
a plea for his own plan, which was
radical and as he believed went to the

CHAPTER XXI.

When the Brother Man had finished
his prayer, he rose, and, STOPPING over
his son, he kissed him. Then he turn
ed about and faced Philip and Sarah,
who almost felt guilty Of intrusion in
looking at such a scene. But the Broth
er Man wore a radiant look. To Phil
ip's surprise he was not excited. The
same ineffable peace breathed from his
entire person. To that peace was now
added a fathomless joy.
Yes" he said very simply, 81 have
found my son which was lost. God is
good to me. He is good to all his chill
dren. He is the All Father. He is
Love"
Did you know your son was here"
Philip asked.
NO: I found him here. You have
saved his life. That was doing as He
would"
at was very little we could do," said
Philip. with a sigh. He had seen so
much trouble and suffering that day
that his soul was sick within him.
Yet he welcomed this event in his
home. 1t seemed like little bright
ness Of heaven on earth.
II have not seen him for years. He
was my youngest son. We quarreled.
All that is past. He did not know that
to give up all that one has was the
will of God. Now he knows. When
he is well, we will go away together
yes, together" He spread out his
palms in his favorite gesture, with
plentiful content in his face and voice.
AS spring had blossomed into sum-
mer and summer ripened into autumn
every one had predicted better times.
But the predictions did not bring them.
The suffering and sickness and help
lessness Of the tenement district grew
every day more desperate. To Philip
1t seemed like the ulcer Of Milton. All
the surface remedies proposed and
adopted by the city council and the
churches and the benevolent societies
had not touched the problem. The
mills were going on part time. Thou
sands Of men yet fingered in the place
hoping to get work. Even If the mills
had been running as usual that would
not have diminished one particle Of the
sin and vice and drunkenness that
saturated the place. And as Philip
studied the matter with brain and soul
he came to a conclusion regarding the
duty of the church. He did not pre-
tend to go beyond that, but as the
weeks went by and fall came on and
another winter stared the people cold
ly in the face he knew that he must
speak out what burned in him.
He had been year In Milton. Every
month of that year had impressed him
with the deep and apparently hopeless
chasm that yawned between the work
ing world and the church. There was
no point Of contact. One was suspi-
cious. the other was Indifferent. Some
thing was radically wrong and some
thing radically positive and Christian
must be done to right the condition
that faced the churches Of Milton.
That was in his soul as he went his
way like one Of the old prophets. i'm
bued with the love of God as he saw It
in the heart Of Christ. With infinite
longing he yearned to bring the church
to sense Of her great power and OPP
portunity. So matters had finally
drawn to q point in the month Of No
vember. The Brother Man had come
in October. The sick man recovered
slowly. Philip and his wife found
room for the father and son and shared
with them what comforts they had. Il

real heart Of the subject. He propos-
ed that every church in town, regard
less of its denomination. give itself in
its 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 well
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 as q unit work and pray and sacri-
fee 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. It was discussed with some
warmth, but declared to be visionary,
impracticable, unnecessary. not for the
church to undertake, beyond its func.
tion, etc. Philip was disappointed. but
he kept his temper.
"Well, bethren," 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 1t not true that the people
In this town regard the church as an
Insignificant organization, unable to
