'That's nothing" exclaimed one Of
the class after the laugh subsidized. II
had q great time two weeks ago when
went up to Manchester to preach. l
laid my notes down on the desk, and
there was q 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. I 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 q 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 believe he moved
out again just at the last minute"
II only moved one Of my feet out"
said Kirk solemnly. II thought one
Of them was enough. I 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-
NAMED little while on the steps.
"What will you do, Kirk?''

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,

hesitated for the right word.
Kirk colored slightly, the first indica-
ton he had shown of q sensitiveness in
that direction.

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 a face
like Dorothy Gilbert's than to stare
steadily at 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 a 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 1T.
"I'm superintendent Of missions for
Kansas. l 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. feel the
need Of the training abroad"
"Au right. Go on with that. But
there's a 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. 1t was not the
first time he had looked in that direc-
ton.
"Of course" continued the superin-
tendent briskly, "you understand the
church is q home missionary church
and cannot offer you large salary.
They can raise perhaps $500 or posi-
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.

to feel it more deeply than ever. As
he faced the superintendent who was
waiting for q 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 smitten into bewilder-
ment IL he could have read Kinks

himself was, '.How can Dorothy Gil

looked out over the campus again.

them, and the superintenden went out.

down his curtains and locked his door.

SIR HENRY's SPEECH.
Hreat Actor Can Hardly Be Under
 stood When Acting Best.

It Is a paradox that an actor who is deficient in one of the fundamental prin- ,lples of acting should remain in the ap- plause of critics and theatre-goers be knighted by his sovereign and universal ly recognized as the greatest player of his day The plays the thing with us, IS 1t was with Hamlet. and any per former who so mumbles the language of the drama that it cannot be under stood must merit condemnation, appar- ently. rather than compliment. Sir pronounces the English tongue as it is pronounced by no other man. woman or child. He lards the flowing verse of Shakespeare with ejaculations, interjec- tions, exclamations and inarticulate grunts that have no place in the poet. Wholly apart from his carriage, which is individual and unique this actor Is fecund with vocal eccentricities. that, if the laws of logic ruled the theatre. would be rejected on the stage. Oddly enough. the better he acts the worse he enunci- ates. until when the dramatic fervor is at it's lOftiesL height, the audience can make nothing of his language. There are times in his performance when Sir Henry might as well translate the fount of English undefiled into Choctaw, so far as coherence of sound and syllable is con cerned. Last Friday night, in the finest performance he ever gave of ShyloCk before an American audience, Irving de- lilivered the speech of Antonio in this fashion:
