Of very many short speeches, In which
the action Of the church was severely
condemned. a resolution was offered
and adopted asking Mr.. Strong to re-
main In Milton and organize an asso-
citation or something of similar order
for the purpose of sociological study
and agitation, pledging whatever finan-
cial support could be obtained from
the working people. This also was
and the town was still reused to ex-
citement by all these reports when
Philip returned home late Saturday
afternoon, almost reeling with exhaus.
ton and his heart torn with the sepa-
ration from his old chum.
However, he tried to conceal his wea-
riness from Sarah and partly succeed
ed. After supper he went up to his
study to prepare for the Sunday. He
had fully made up his mind what he
would do. and he wanted to do II In a
manner that would cast no reproach
on his ministry, which he respected
with sensitive reverence.
He shut the door and began his prep
aration by walking up and down. as
his custom was, thinking out the de-
tails of the service, his sermon, the ex.
act wording of certain phrases he
wished to make.
He had been walking thus back and
forth half dozen times wien he felt

ed away, and ~he resumed his work,
thinking Ii was only passing disor-
der. But before he could turn again
in his walk he felt a dizziness that
whirled everything In the room about
him. He clutched at chair and was
conscious of having missed 1t, and
] then he fell forward In such a way
that he lay partly on the couch and on
the floor and was unconscious.
How long he had been in this condi-
ton he did not know when he came to
himself. He was thankful, when he
did recover sufficiently to crawl to his

to get over TO his desk and begin to
write something as he heard her COM
ing up stairs. He did not intend to de-
ceive her. His thought was that he
would not unnecessarily alarm her. He
was very tired. 1t al not need much
urging to persuade him to get to bed

strangely calm and refreshed. The

came like benediction to them all.

he appeared. They all prepared to 60

The Destiny Of Australia.

In the speech from the throne at the
opening Of the British parliament a
few days ago Queen Victoria says
among other things:
/ have watched with cordial satisi-ction the
gradual development Of my greater colonies into
self governing communities. feel confident that
the establishment OF the great federation OF Aus.
tralia will prove advantageous not only to the
colonies Immediately concerned. but also 10 the
empire at large.
In this her majesty may In some de-
gree b. mistaken. That the federation
Of the Australian colonies will prove
advantageous to the colonies them
selves is beyond question, but that the
British empire at large will be berefit.
ed is more than questionable, since 1t
Is the opening wedge to the consum-
nation of the ultimate destiny Of that
great continent whose shores are wash
ed by the southern seas. That destiny,
which cannot be many years delayed,
is complete independence, which her
majesty would hardly regard as ad-
vantagecus to the British empire.
The Australians are beginning to un-
derstand the historical truth of the
proposition that no state can become
great so long as 1t is the vassal or sub
ject OF another state.
By virtue of its vast extent and its
marvellous resources Australia, with its
adjacent islands. Is destined to become
strong and great nation, rich and
prosperous, and this. the Australians
realize, can come only through the sew
erance of Its political relations with
the parent country. Its growth and
development depend upon its indie
pendence Of any other country in the
conduct 0: its political affairs. This
truth is illustrated in the history of the
United States, and. adversely, in the
history OF Canada.
Queen Victoria is no doubt a most
exemplary woman and wise and be-
nignant sovereign as sovereigns go, but
there Is no good reason why she should
exercise sovereignty over a great con.
tinent between which and her capital
roll hundreds of leagues of sea and
with the inheritance Of which the peo-
pie of her immediate reahn have but
little In common. The logic OF history
and events points unerringly TO the es-
adjustment Of the United States OF

ness or disease. 1t was a prayer that
laid its healing balm on the soul of
Philip and soothed his trouble into
peace. When the old man finished.
Philip felt almost cheerful again. He
went out and helped his wife a few
minutes In some work about the kitch-
en-. And after supper he was just get
ting ready to 60 out to inquire after a
sick family near by when there was
knock Mt the door.
| 1t was a messenger boy with tele-
gram. Philip opened it almost me-
chanically and, carrying it to the light,
read:
Alfred died at p. m. Can you GOMEZ
For q second he did not realize the
news. Then as 1t rushed upon him he
staggered and would have fallen IL the
table had not been so close A faint
ness and a pain seized him, and for
minute he thought he was falling.
Then he pulled himself together and
called his wife, who was In the kitch-
en-. She came in at once. noticing the
peculiar tone of his voice.
"Alfred is deadw He was saying
the words quietly as he held out the
telegram.
"Dead! And you left him getting
better! How dreadfulw
"Do you think so? He is at rest I
must go up there at once. They ex-
pect me-" He still spoke quietly,
stilling the tumult Of his hearts an
guish for his wife's sake. This man,
his old college chum, was very dear to
him. The news was terrible to him.
Nevertheless he made his prepara.
tons to go back 10 his friends home.
1t Is what either would have done In
the event Of the others death. And so
he was gone from Milton until after
the funeral and did not return until
Saturday. In those three days of alb
sence Milton was stirred by events
that grew out Of the action OF the
church.

CHAPTER XXIv.

Ir the first place the minority In the
church held meeting and voted to
ask Philip TO remain, pledging him
their hearty support In all his plans
and methods. The evening paper, in
its report of this meeting, made the
most Of the personal remarks that were
made and served up the whole affair In
sensational items that were eagerly
read by every one in Milton.
But the most important gathering Of
Philips friends was that of the mill
men. They met In the hall where he
had so often spoken, and, being crowd
ed out of that by the great numbers.
they finally secured the use of the
courthouse. This was crowded with
an excited assembly, and In the course
