 | In beginning his remarks he told i something of his own life. When a | boy of seven years he lived in the city | of Nashville, Tenn. and assisted in the support of his parents by selling pa i pers on the streets of that city. Later he moved with his parents to Waxa- hachie, Texas, and from there to Cor sicana Texas, where he was in the employ of a dry goods firm. It was while in the employ of this firm and at the age of seventeen years that he became interested in Christianity. Holding the closest attention of his listeners, MT. Mulkey told of his days battle with his mind before he accept ed the Lord, of the happy day for him he believed his sins had been wiped out and forgiven and of his con- version.
 He believed himself a true Christian | when one day in conversation with a neighbor he was asked the question if l he considered himself forgiven of all his sins and still be the debtor of sev eral concerns for various sums of money, debts contracted during his | years of business. The question and | the solving of the problem led him to sell his home and do all in his power i to restore to those in whose debt he was, as much of the money owing as | possible.
 I "I would rather live in a hovel in the ground and have the conscious ness that I was doing right to my fel- low man than to live in the finest pal atial residence of your country, and have the consciousness that I was de- frauding you or stealing your goods, declared MT. Mulkey
 The trials of himself and his wife following this restitution were de- scribed in a manner that aroused the greatest of sympathy but equally as great was the enjoyment of his stories of the pleasures he had in knowing that that which fe had he was right ly entitled to. He told of the earning of the first five dollar Hll following the sale of his home. It was earned chopping wood. Finally however his finances began to mend and he was able to attend the Moody Institute in Chicago for three years. Since that time he has been a travelling evan gelist. His work as such has been rich fly rewarded. He has travelled over nineteen states and made 4500 conver- sions. In his travels his wife accom- panied him. Over sixty churches and parsonages have been built through his efforts and an orphanage at Waco
 Texas. which cost $20.000. One hun dred and twenty orphans are now giv-
 en home in the institution.
