NeT, lie SIiu, anu Slllply Sleppeu III OH his way up the hill to see how Stuart was.
 ''Stop him.' cried Stuart to Erie. Say, doctor, don't go yet. We need your advice. We want your help in making plans for the relief''-
 "Oh, get out for plans for relief! have no sympathy with them! The more you give those ungrateful, obsti- nate old I tell you, Stuart. you'd better keep your money. You'll need it when you begin housekeeping. Every time when you go down town your wife will want you to bring home mouse trap and 8 lemon squeezer or barrel of pepper or something. Eric. if you try to stop me I'll throw you through the window
 The doctor rushed out of the door and slammed it shut. The next minute he opened it, and, looking in, he said gravely, If you mean to do anything worth while about the draining or building new houses, I'll give you q hint or two when I get time.' i,
 The next minute he was gone, and Stuart could see from the little window vision of Ajax and the cutter as they tore up the hill.
 T wonder if the doctor will ever get time?'' said Andrew. q wonder what he will do when he gets to the other country, where there is to be no more pain nor crying nor death?' T declare it puzzles me to guess what he'll do. I can't imagine him sitting on the edge of rose colored cloud taking it easy" replied Stuart. ho1 int 10 arrangements made for his special benefit"
 Do you think we shall all be as busy there as we are here?' asked Rhena.
 "Of course,'' Andrew answered. "Only we shall have plenty of time to do things as we want. l love to be- lieve that 1 can raise roses of all sorts and have, say, 8 thousand years to ex- pertinent on new varieties without feeling all the time that I ought to be making that parish call or writing that sermon or getting ready for that com mittee meeting"
 'You don't believe there will be roses in the other world, do you?" in 1 quired Erie quizzically.
 T don't:' exclaimed Andrew. What would heaven be without roses l and little children?"
 "Im not q,:arreling with your idea. I like it, replied Eric. T hope there will be roses there without the thorns. | Meanwhile we are living in the town of | Champion where the thornS outnum- i Der the roses two to one. If we make | this little spot on earth more like heaven, perhaps we'll be in a condition to enjoy the other place better when our turn comes to go to it.'
 1 There's no doubt of it"' Stuart | spoke, with an emphasis that meant a world of action. AS certain as the Lord raises me up from this weakness in body will render him an account of my stewardship. Eric, you and Andrew can arrange the details of this work. Our duty is imperative It is as clear as light to me Those houses shall be built as fast as money can do it, and the other cabins shall be torn down and new ones put up in their I places."
 How about that hall dedicated to the interests of labor?" asked Eric, smiling. 1N 1 Up it goes as soon as we can get at It. dOnte like the idea Of calling it a hall for labor interests. I tell you,
 Eric, the rich need preaching to more 1 than the poor. They need to be taught their duties and privileges. The hall
 will be built, but it shall be called the
 Hall of Humanity. It shall be dedi-
 cated to the entire community, and whatever is said or preached or. sung l in it shall be for the union of men, l fer their good as members of the hu-
 man family. Every unselhsh, Christ
 like word and deed we can think of shall be giyensa a place within its walls. Oh, I've done some thinking since
 begnns to get we'll! But first to the
 house building. Rhena, you can help
 us in the details of this Important
