and the echo of a dancing laugh float

door closed.
"Mr. Strong, if you preach TO the
people to leave such pleasure as that
we have just glanced at to view or
suffer such things as are found in the
tenements, you must expect opposition.

meaning. know they will not do any
such thing. 1t is asking too much"
"And yet the Lord Jesus Christ, al
though he was rich, for our sakes be-
came poor, that we. through his pow

this town needs is that kind of Chris

love Of Christ to perishing men. l be-

"All right; I'll tell him. Don't wor-
ry. Brother Man, take good care Of
him. / shall not be back until late"
He kissed his wife and Joined Mr..
Winter, and together they made the
round Of the district.
As they were going through the
court near by the place where Philip
had been attacked he told the mill
owner the story. 1t affected him
greatly, but as they went on through
the tenemcnts the sights that met him
there wiped out the recollection Of ev-
erything else.
How many people are there in our
church that know anything about this
plague spot from personal knowledge,
Mr.. Winter" Philip asked after they
had been out about two hours.
81 don't know. Very few, I pre-
sumo"
"And yet they ought to know about
1t. How else shall all this sin and mis-
cry be done awayY
II suppose the law could do some
thing" replied Mr.. Winter feebly.
1.-THE laww Philip said the two
words and then stopped. They STUN

into the doorway of a miserable struc-
ture. ooh, what this place needs Is

much as live, loving Christian men and
women who will give themselves and
a large part of their means to cleanse
the souls and bodies and houses of this
wretched district We have reached O
crisis in Milton when Christians must
give themselves to humanity. Mr..
Winter, / am going TO tell Calvary
church so next Sunday"
Mr.. Winter was silent. They had
come out Of the district and were
walking along together toward the up
per part Of the city. The houses kept
growing larger and better. Finally
they came up to the avenue where the
| churches were situated-a broad. clean,
well paved street, with magnificent
elms and elegant houses on either side,
and the seven large. beautiful church

When Mr. Winter came down the
next evening. Philip asked him TO
come I'm and walt few minutes, as he
was detained in his study room by a
caller. The mill owner sat down and
visited with Mrs. Strong little while.
Finally she was called into the other
room, and Mr.. Winter was left alone.
The door into the sick mans room was
partly open, and he could not help
hearing the conversation between the
Brother Man and his son. Something
that was said made him curious, and
when Philip came down he asked him
n question concerning his strange
bOardcr
Come in and see him." said Philip.

room and introduced him TO the pa

demands on him were SD urgent the
perfect impo~sibilily of providing men
with work and $50 relieving them had
been such a bar to giving help in that
direction, that otit of sheer necessity,
as it seemed 10 him, Philip had given
fully half of the thousand dollars re-
served for his own salary. His entire
expenses were reduced 10 the smallest
possible amount Everything above

one evening in the middle Of the
month he was invited 20 social gath
erlng ut the house Of Mr.. Winter The
mill owner had of late been cXperienc-
ing a revolution of thought His atti-
tude toward Philip had grown more
and more friendly.
1t was gathering Of personal
friends Of Mr. Winter, including some
of the church people. The moment that
Philip stepped into the spacious hall
and caught a glimpse Of the furnish
ings of the rooms beyond, the contrast
between all the comfort and bright
ness Of this house and the last place be
had visited in the tenement district
smote him with a sense Of pain. He
drove II back and blamed himself with
an inward reproach that he was grow
ing narrow and could think Of only one
idea.
He could not remember just what
brought up the subject, but some one
during the evening, which was passed
in conversation and music, mentioned
the rumor going about Of increased dis
turbance I'm the lower part Of the
town and carelcssly wanted to know II
the paper did not eXaggcrate the facts.
Some one turned to Philip and asked
him about Il rs the one best Informed.
He did not know how long he talked.
He knew there was a great hush when
he had ended. Then before any one
could change the stream OF thought
some young woman I'm the music room
who had not known what was going
on began to sing to n new instrument
tai variation Home, Sweet Home"
Coming as 1t did after Philips vivid
description Of the tenements, It seemed
like a sob of despair or a hooking
hypocrisy. He drew back into one of
the smaller rooms and began TO look
over some art prints on table. As he
stood there. again blaming himself for
his impetuous breach Of society ETH
quette in almost preaching on such an
occasion, Mr.. Winter came in and
said:
at does not seem possible that such
a state of affairs exists as you describe,
Mr.. Strong. Are you sure you do not
exaggeratep
"Exaggerate! Mr.. Winter, you have
pardoned my little sermon here to-
night, / know. 1t was forced on me.
But He choked, and then, with an
energy that was all the stronger for
being repressed, he said, turning full
toward the mill owner: "Mr. Winter,
will you go with me and look at things
for yourself? In the name OF Christ
will you see what humanity Is SHINING
and suffering not more than mile
from this home Of yoursT
Mr.. Winter hesitated and then said
Yes, I'll go. Whenr
Say tomorrow night. Come down
to my house early. and we viii start
from there"

RECITAL. OF classic music
more than reeize1 their expectations in
the presentation OF music far above the
average by the Mills Ladies' Quartette
at the Opera House last night. The
audience was of small proportions, but
it was an sppreciative one, and ex-
pressed its approval in liberal applause.
The members of the Qusrtette--Mrs.
Auna Craig Hills, Miss Edna Doe,
Miss Salome Wingate, of Washington,
and Miss Rebekah Pol ard, Of this city
are under the tut ion of Mrs. Mills,
q well.known musician of Washington,
and the programme was arranged 10 a
manner to bring out the distinctive
tones of the participants, which made
a very striking contrast. Miss Pollard,
who was the soloist of the evening,
succeeded in introducing somewhat OF
al innovation which all the more de-
lighted her friends, for che appeared
with charming ease and grace, and the
fact that she studied under Mrs. Mills
assured an authentic Interpretation.
Her voice was sweet, clear and me-
lodous, and she was forced several
times to bow her acknowledgements to
the applause which followed her ef-
forts. The quartette was assisted by
