Darlston stood gazing wistfully at
the windows Of the fine old house
| across the avenue, wondering If Alice
were not stationed at one Of them.
Alice and he had been everything to
each other before he had marched
away to the strains of The Girl Left
Behind Me-" happy in the faith that
she would wait for aim until, hassng
| served his country well, he should re-
turn and win for himself name and
fortune which she would be proud to
share. But it was all over with now,
he reflected bitterly. The dream was
ended, and he felt that he had poured
out the treasures OF his heart before
an empty shrine. He had been a very
paragon Of constancy, but somehow
she had lost faith in him. Influenced
probably by mercenary motives. she
had betrothed herself to a dissipated
political celebrity old enough to be her
father on the very eve of Darlston's re-
turn from two years of fighting in the
Philippines. The society columns OF
a newspaper which he had read that
morning at breakfast had furnished
this fragmentary outline, and his i'm
aginaJion had rounded it into soul
torturing completeness.
How Darlston got through with the
realities of the black hours that fol-
lowed he never knew. He felt like a
man about to be shot from the gibbet
into eternity. 1t seemed to him as
though the world held nothing now
but despair and misery. He seemed
to feel faith in everything human and
divine slipping away from him. But
calm reflection caused a revulsion OF
feeling and In measure restored his
faith in Alice. He tried to feel that
the light in which he had been led to
regard her was a false one. Probably
the influences brought to bear upon
her had been more powerful than he
could conceive. Her father might
have coerced her into the betrothal

reckoning for the pater on the NOR

fate had drawn him almost to the
threshold of her home Now, as he

ton. What deters men from entering
the ministerial profession M
Tcmlinson gives the result q his cor
respondence.
The replies and explanaiso1s OF
twenty successful ministers, con
densed and classified. are as follows
l. The lack Of freedom. The min
lister is looked upon too much as one
who is hired or employed. 4 he de-
vietes from the Theological position
he assumed when in his inexperieaee
and immaturity he declared his views.
then he is certain 10 feel the force Of
the opposition often shutting him cut
even from opportunities Of labor and
service. He is looked upon not as the
minister Of the church. He Is ex-
pected to be defender OF the faitn
rather than a teacher or student
2. The short and shortening period
Of service. The reasonable certainty
that after he is 40 years Of age his
services will be less in demand and
the dead-line Of so no imaginary
bogie.
s. The difficulty OF maintaining a
home on the meager salaries given.
That a clergyman's salary usually
was a little less than what was ex-
peeted of him.
4. The continual shifting Of his
home and field
5. His subjectlon to the pettiness
of the attacks and demands Of petty
people.
6. The present beneficiary sys-
tem." which degraded the entire
body.
These twenty men. every ole OF
whom is a successful pastor, were
asked if they had their lives to live
over again if they would select the
work they were now doing. Seven
replied Yes enthusiastically, three
we're somewhat undecided. nine re
plied no" positively and one de-
clared that if he could avoid being
ordained" he would be only too glad
to take up the work. And every man
of the twenty declared that preach
ing" in itself was the highest pleas
ure Of his life.
