night OF the attack by the mob rose up
10 defend him. There was with IL all an
undercurrent of self administered rebuke
that the pastor had set the whole church
an example OF usefulness. He wondered
how many OF the members would volun-
tarily give up half their incomes for the
good OF humanity. He wondered I'm a
confused way how much he would give
up himself. Philips sermon had made
real impression on him.
There Is one point we have not dis
cussed yet he said at last. "and that
is Mr.. Strong's offer OF half his salary 10
carry on the work OF a children's refuge
or something of that kind.
How can We accept such an offer7

paying Its minister a good salary and pay

again excitedly "and ] for one am most

sisted that Mr.. Winter himself should act
as chairman OF the committee, and atter
some remonstrance he finally, with great
reluctance, agreed to do so.
So Philip next evening. as he sat IN ms
study mapping out the weeks work ano
wondering a little what the church woulo
do in the face OF his proposal, received
the committee. welcoming them In MS
bright. hearty manner. He had been noti-
fed on Sunday evening OF the approach
ing conference. The committee consisted
OF Mr. Winter and two other members OF
the board.
Mr. Winter opened the conversation
with considerable embarrassment and an
evident reluctance for his share In the
matter
"Mr. Strong. we have come. as You are
aware TO talk over your proposition OF
yesterday morning concerning the par
sonage Ii was a great surprise TO us all.
Philip smiled little. Mrs. Strong says
I act too much on impulse and do not
prepare people enough for my statements
But one OF the greatest men ever knew
used 10 say that an impulse was good
thing to obey instantly II there was nc
doubt OF it's being a right one"

still. to abandon this plan. IL VIII not

Suppose the church should rent the
parsonage then" suggested Philip III

the property That. with the thousand
dollars on my salary, could be wisely
and generously used to relieve much
suffering in Milton this winter. The
church could easily rent the house
That was true. as the parsonage stood
on one OF the most desirable parts OF b
street and would command good rental
Then you persist in this plan OF yours.

Mr.. Winter looked serious and per
plered The other trustees looked dis
satisfied II was evident they regard
ed the whole matter with disfavor.
"Mr. Winter rose abruptly. He could
not avoid a feeling OF anger in spite OF
his obligatio TO the minister. He also

OF Calvary church. said another. and
II seems to me he came under the CON
dtions granted in our call. For the
church to allow such an absurd thins as
the giving up OF the parsonage to this
proposed outside work would be very
unwise move"
Yes, and more than that said the
first speaker. II want TO say very frank
ly that | am growing tired OF the way

TO us. What business has Calvary church
with all these outside matters. these labor

minister who looks after his own parish.
Mr.. Strong does not call on his own peo-
pie lie has not been inside my house
but once since he came to Milton Breth-
rem. there is growing feeling OF discon-
tent over this matter
There was a short pause, and then one
OF the members said:
Surely IL MIR. Strong feels dissatisfied
, with his surroundings In the parsonage
or feels az IL his work lay In another d.
| rection he ls at liberty TO choose another
| parish. But he Is the finest pulpit min
| lister we ever had. and no one doubts
his entire sincerity. He IL remarkable

Yes. but sincerity may be very
awkward thing carried too far. And In
this matter OF the parsonage I don't see
| how the trustees can allow IT, Why,
! what would the other churches think OF
| IT, Calvary church cannot allow any
| thing OF the kind for the sake or It's repu-
tation. But would like to hear Mr..
Winters opinion lie has not spoken
yet"
The rest turned To the mill owner, who.
as chairman of the board. usually had
much TO say and was regarded as n
shrewd and careful business adviser In
the excitement of~the occasion and dis
cussion the usual formalities of a regular
board meeting had been ignored.
Mr. Winter was evidently embarrassed.
lie had listened To the discussion OF the
minister with his head bent down ana
his thoughts In n whirl Of emotion both
for and against the pastor. His nat
urally inclined business habits contended
against the proposition to give up the
parsonage His feelings Of gratitude To
