The death of the Jdrstboq7e. +
took up his pen and dipped it in the
ink and then sat there, thinking, think-
ing, Of his baby. He recalled every
little look, it's smile, it's new habits,
added day by day. His heart swelled
at the thought of all that he had
dreamed for his boys future. Was
God good? Was it true, this gospel of
comfort he had been preaching these
three years? Why, then, was he not
comforted? The baby had died Thurs
day night.
Three days now, and yet the world
expected him to go on with his work,
write sermons, make calls attend to
the thousand little details that must be
remembered or some one would notice
and begin to complain. How could he
take up the burden of life and carry
it? How could he regain his old enthu-
siasm or help Dorothy? Were they
not both smitten to the dust by this
heart loss? He found himself saying
all this and even half fearfully asking
himself If Dorothy had not made a
mistake to share her life with him.
What could he offer her? What career
was possible for them now in this lit
tie place? -...: -
The ink had dried on his pen, and he
sat there holding it, unable to write a
word. Dorothy had gone out to the
well, and when he missed her step in
the kitchen and glanced out Of the
window to see her she was sitting on
bench he had built under the cotton
wood in the yard the only tree on the
place. She had left her pail at the
well and sat there looking off. toward
the little knoll which he had shut out
Of his sight when he drew down his
curtain. il. ~. s5..ls.s e. ii @.jls 5> ii 7 NJ
He sat down with groan, and for
moment the world seemed utterly
empty and useless to him. He had sat
there for a long time, feeling all the
while that his place was BY his wife's
side to comfort her. but hesifating for
the first time since their marriage as
to the right thing to do or say, when
knock at the door reused him. He
knew some one must have Knocked
several times. He went through the
sitting room and opened the door. z.s
A little old woman stood close up to
the door, and a farm wa gon and horse

grown from forty odd to over q hum

velopment. think 1t is probably true
from what feel and hear that already
the influence Of Kirk and his wife and
their little church in this wild western
town Is the strongest influence that
ever entered the place. They are very
much broken up by the loss Of their
baby. It has been tremendous dis

ious for them, as l think Of what the
result may be on their future work.
The pay of Home Missionary out here
is small, and for some reason Kirk has
not been able to make much with his
writing. cannot help asking myself
how the loss Of their baby will affect
their whole work here. Mrs. Kirk
seems to be stunned by the blow. 1
shall leave here Monday, and my great
est regret is that cannot be of more
help to my old classmate. He is at a
crisis in his career, and everything de-
pends on the way he accepts this ueaIn
of his BABY - -!#s
This is only fragment Of Wilson's
letter, but the number Of times he re-.
ferred to the death Of the baby as
marking crisis in the lives of Malcolm
and Dorothy revealed the depth Of the
impression made upon his mind by the
manner in which they were affected by
their loss. y =. ). lts.
he went away on the morning train,
md Malcona, who had gone to the sta
ton TO see him off, came slowly back
to the parsonage and went into the lit
tie room next the kitchen which he
had fitted up for a study. .s&!.,,. {
Dorothy was at work in the kitchen,
and Malcom sat down at his study ta-
bic and looked out of the window
across the prairie. 1T was unfortunate
that from that window he could see the
little cemetery in the distance. He
finally rose and drew the curtain clear
