salary, $4,000 for three years, to spend
as he saw fit. They agreed at once,
and he began his work.
With these beginnings DR.. Rainsford
has built up the largest Episcopal
church in New York, the fame of which
is world wide, and done a great hui
manitarian work. He took the neigh
borhood just as it was, invited the peo-
pie to come, and they came. They
found a man with no appearance OF
clericalism-Dr Rainsford despises
every outward appearance of religion
a plain service, with the sermon as the
great point. They found, too, a man
of the people, who wanted to help
them, but was quite equal to defending
his rights with his fists if necessary,
which it was on one or two occasions.
DR.. RainSford'S is quite a simple Cos
pei: he says: zone of the reasons un-
doubtedly why the church has not a
stronger hold on working men is be-
cause they have the idea that the
church ought to make a re-division of
the social scale in their favor. How do
1 meet that? I try to show them
where they have use for the church,
that life is not tolerable without Jesus
Christ; I tell them of the hope He
brings and the peace He offers; that
they do need Him in their work and in
their daily lives"
DR.. Rainsford has yearly immense
sums given him to work with, and has
built schools, tremendous parish
house, young men and young women's
clubs, has gathered the children in the
Sunday school, in which he believes In
tensely; has come out for open sa-
looms on Sunday, and has allowed dan
cling in the parish house to keep his
young people from going to worse
places. He has had to stand all sorts
of opposition, not only from those out
side, but those within his own church.
DR.. Ra1nsford is entirely out of SYM
pathy with the high church movement,
which has gained such Roadway, but
he gives expression to his apprecia-
ton of the fact that the Episcopal
church is broad enough to embrace the
two extremes of opinion. DR.. Rains
fords book is exceedingly interesting,
and one cannot read it without believ-
ing that he has message and is doing
much good.

York. For sale by st. Paul Book and
Stationery company.
The writer of this tragic little tale
writes what are known as smart sto-
rfes for magazines which pride them
serves on writing for and of the "best
people" This story is on that order.
Araby, whose real name is Arabella, is
a sort of poor relation and hanger on
of her fashionable cousin, Mrs. Cope
land, who has a friend constantly by
her side in the person Of Mr.. Bax-
Drury. Mr.. Copeland is not seen nor
heard of, consequently we conclude
that he is hopelessly respectable. The
party is coming from England to New
port for the season and the story is
only of the trip over. Araby is young
and beautiful girl, whose eyes have
been unpleasantly opened by long Hv-
ing with the worldly Mrs. Copeland
She is, too, savage, and on the boat
falls desperately in love with Mr.. Y ell
verten. a fashionable Englishman with
yellow hair. who loves Araby in his
way, which means merely pleasant
Irritation on his part. When it is said
that this little group belongs to the
fastest set in New York and London
society, nothing they may do surprises
