sald, you are going TO bring too many
people into the church at once" and
they sent down TO New Brunswick TO
get John Livingston to stop the revival
We'll, there was no better soul In all
the world than John Livingston. He
Went and looked at the revival. They
wanted him to stop it. He stood in the
pulpit on the Lords day and looked
over the solemn auditory, and he said.

~ on his staff-a very old man. And
ne iitted that staff and took hold of the

the audience was Overpowering, and
men saw type of their doom as the
cane Kept falling and falling, until the
KNOB or the cane struck Mr.. Living

and said, But the grace of God can
stop you as l stopped that cane" and
then there was gladness all through

Christ In every enterprise!
Ihere are men who ask Gods helm nj

PROCURED PLANT OK HIS "NERvE."
The absurdity of the proposition to
saddle upon an infant industry an interest
charge practically amounting to thirty
seven-and-one-half per cent. was too ap-
parent, and Mr.. Mcfarland sadly, but
firmly, refused to entertain such propo-
sition. 1t was not the first rebuff he had
received and there were others to come;
but he did not despair; he determined to
90 ahead, anyway. He entered into cor
respondence with all the sewing machine
companies in the country with view TO
securing machines on the instalment
plan. He was promptly told that sewing
machines for manufacturing purposes
were not sold in that way; nevertheless,
he kept at the machine companies, frank
ly telling, however, that he had no
money, and the formation of the company
which he hoped to form was still in the
uncertain future.
Finally, the managers of the Standard
Sewing Machine company wrote him
that his persistence was To them good
proof of his sincerity and if he could give
them references of his good standing and
reputation among the business men of

coast, where his Interests mostly lay. lie
was disposed Ia aid Mr.. Mcfarland in
his undertaking. ami did - To a certain
extent. The slight aid given him at the
time, which enabled the inventor Ia take
the first steps toward erecting a plant,
was supplemented 10y an offer To put in
certain sum of money in 4 compan =:
provided, the citizens of Titu>ville took
stock To an amount one-third of that
proposed by Mr.. Flaeler. Mr. Mcfarland
had, by that time, got plant together,
and, save for the purchase of sewing ma
chimes, was ready for business and had
orders ahead To the amount of several
thousands of dollars.
The Board of Trade, of Titusyile, met
for the purpose Of considering the matter
and it Was unanimously voted that the
opening of the factory here would be
good thilg. Several prominent citizens
spoke OF t4e best way to organize, and il
was final decided that stock should be
issued to of amount of $500 at ten per
cent. intbSst, payable annually, and

workmen, with poorly equipped plant,
and everything abont the business new,
and but little understood by either en-
ployer or employees, resulted in the usual
amount of mistakes, spoiled work and
uneconomical methods, so that the prog
ress made was slow. Mr.. McFarland's
ideas were also too far in advance for his
partners to whom he had surrendered a
large share of the company stock, to Sc
cure that unanimity necessary for surcess.
The consequence was that it was de-
termined, on their part, to get control OF
the business by offering to buy out the
inventor.
MAKING A SHIFT.
Things were assuming desperate
shape for Mr.. Mcfarland; but no one, to
see or talk tG him, would have suspected
it. He was considered at the end of his
rope. when, in circus parlance, he made
one of those wonderful "shiits," which
got him out of present difficulties.
The date was set for Il meeting at
which proposition was to be made for
Mr.. Mcfarland To sell out, or buy out his
partners. The latter proposition was con-
sidered ont of the question, a. he had
sunk his last dollar in the enterprise and
Was hopelessly involved, besides.

the town, and check for 500 to pay, in
part, for the installation of the machines,
the company would consider the matter
of sending them.
Here, the nerve and candid audacity
Of this undaunted man served him we'll.
Instead Of deSpairing, he hustled
around, got the 500, and sent it to the
company in the form Of certified check
In Il few days, with 81 POO worth of
sewing machines set up in his factory,
Mr.. Mcfarland began work.
Meanwhile, although the means were
lacking To conduct the business on the
plan desired or considered indispensable
by Mr. Mcfarland, company was
formed and the utility of the tents re-
ceived every test before numerous groups
Of orange growers that could be given in
the absence of killing frost; the cOnse-
quence was that orders hurried in faster
than the company was ready 10 fill them.
Mr.. Mcfarland was associated with sew
eral others, who, like himself were ignor-
ant of the detaikp Of manufacturing the
tents, and who X Jew nothing about the
method of treating the clOth-a process

The circus men were given the clad hand
by their Old-timc comrale, who began to
unfold the immense possibilities Of his
scheme of protection. They were charm

idea. They informed Mr. Mcfarland that
they believed he had "A bonanza and
would relinquish all designs upon his
person, but would 20 away, regretting
that they could not secure his valuable
services.

PROTECTION HIS THEME.

Meantime, Mr. Mcfarland lost no OPP
portunity of advertising the fact that he
had a plan for the protection Of citrus
fruits. Protection WAS the burden of his
song, and although mIny scOtfed at the
idea of raising oranges under cover; and
Others, among whom were his close, per-
sonal friends, advised him tn give up
the idea, as it was visionary, and he was
running his health; still he chung to it and
infected others with his enthusiasm.
Many a time lis plans for the manufacture
of his protecting apparatus seemed about
to meet with success; but just as the CHM
AK was reached, some unforeseen obstacle
would dash his hopes and indefinitely
postpone the realization of his dreams.
Meantime, he was going further and
further into debt, while endeavOring TO
start his factory and To organize IA compa-
ny.
