 Chilcote stepped closer. "Why7" he insisted.
 Because 1t couldn't work, man couldn't hold for dozen hours!"
 Chilcote put out his hand and touch ed his arm. "But why" he urged. "Why? Give me one unanswerable reason"
 Loder shook off the hand and laugh ed, but below his laugh lay a sugges- ton of the others excitement. Again the scene stirred him against bis sounder judgment though his reply when it came was sound enough.

It was suggested to me unconscionsly by the story of a book-a book in which men changed identities.

I'm not insulting you. though you'd like to think so."
 Without remark Loder freed him self from the others touch and walked back to his desk. His anger. his pride. and, against his will, his excitement were all aroused.
 He sat down, leaned his elbow on the desk and took his face between his

 For m instant Loder was at a loss to find reply sufficiently final. Chil- cote broke in upon the pause.
 After all," be urged. what ask of you is a simple thing-merely to carry through my routine duties for a week or two occasionally when I find my endurance giving away, when respite becomes essential. The work would be nothing to man fin your state of mind, the pay anything you like to name." In his eagerness he had fol lowed Loder to the desk. Wont you give me an answer? I told you I am neither mad nor drunk"
 Loder pushed back the scattered pa- pers that lay under his arm.
 "Only lunatic would propose such a scheme" he said brusquely and without feeling.
 "WhyT
 The others lips parted for a quick retort: then in . surprising way the

 But Chilcote sat staring in silence. Iyihs domination of the others person .Is1ity and the futility of his achieve meats baf1ed him.
 Lpder saw his bewilderment. "You wonder what the devil came into the world for" he said. T sometimes wonder the same myself"
 At his words change passed over Ehilcote. He half rose, then dropped back into his seat.
 You have no friends?' he said. ''Your life is worth nothing to you?"
 Loder raised his head. T thought I had conveyed that impression"
 "You are an absolutely free man."
 ''No man is free who works for his Tread. If things had been different I might have been in such shoes as yours, sauntering in legislative by ways. My hopes turned that way ance. But hopes, like more substantial things, belong to the past''- He stop ped abruptly md looked at. his com- panion.
 The change in Chilcote had become more acute. He sat lingering bis cig- arette, his brows drawn down, his lips set nervously in conflict of emotions, , For space he stayed very still, avoid ing Loder's eyes; then, as if decision had suddenly come to him, he turned and met his gaze.

 "I have thought of that My serv- ant and my secretary can both be changed. I will do the thing thor. oughly."
 Loder glanced at him in surprise. The madness had more method than he had believed. Then as he still look. ed a fresh idea struck him. and hs laughed.

WHAT THESE MEN THOUGHT


IF we abide by the principles taught in the Bible
our country will go prospecting but if we and
our posterity neglect its instructions and authority
no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may
overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound
obscurity." Again he says "I have read 1t through
many times now make a practice of going
through it once year. 1t is book of all others
for lawyers and divines, and pity the man who
cannot find in it rich supply of thought and rules
Tor conduct. From the time at my mothers feet
or on my fathers knee first learned to lisp verses
from the sacred writings, they have been my dan,
and vigilant contemplation If there be anything
in my style or thought to be commended the credit
is due to my kind parents for Installing into nv
mind an early love for the Scriptures"-Daniel
Webster.

DAILY.

BY NJ G..
Not year by year as in weakness and fear,
With burdened heart bowed low
With the that have been, and those that shall
win
From the future its beauty and glow
Not week by week, L sadly seek,
To find what shall come to me
And YEARLY strain my eyes in vain
The end of my path to see.
Not keeping the care of yesterdays share
That troubled sadly then,
Not trying to what tomorrow shall be
And questioning "How?" and "When?"
But day by day let obey
Thy Come to Me" and ask
Each day for strength to bear the length
And hardness of my task.
But for the work that I did shirk
When going yesterdays way
or for the hard thing tomorrow shall bring
Let me not fret to-day.
But leaving with Thee all I cannot see
And knowing Thou knowest best
And when Thy time is come Thou wilt take me
home
Let me trust Thee, Lord and rest.

it's unanimous Now sing:

Before the third verse was sung Mr. Alexander
related an incident: A little girl in Bolton, Eng
land, thirteen years old, who converted in one
of the meetings held in that town very fond
of the GLORY Song" morning members of
her family heard her singing it. She was especial
ly fond of the third verse
Friends will be there have loved long age
JOY like river around me will flow;
Yet just smile from my Saviour 1 know
VIII through the ages, be glory for me-"
Shortly afterward she was missed from the house
and after some hours her body was found at the
foot of cliff which she had fallen. Her
friends never knew how the accident occurred, but
they felt that she among those who would well
come them by and by. 81 going to ask those
who have friends the other shore to sing the
third verse Let sing 1T slowly and softly:
Friends will be there, have loved long ago;
Joy like river around will flow;
Yet just smile from my Saviour 1 know,
Will through the ages, be glory for me-"

turn the meeting to DR.. Torrey."-New York

THE GLORY SONG.

IN THE TORREY- ALEXANDER MEETINGS.
Mr.. Alexander had charge of the service for near
y hour before he turned it to DR.. Torrey
Standing a pedestal high the piano. he led
the five hundred voices in the choir and the nearly
four thousand in the audience, sometimes separate
ly, now together, and a moment later calling upon
a single person to sing stanza alone When the
visitors entered the church where the choir was
practicing Saturday evening, the local leader
wishing to honor them, asked the choir to rise and
sing the GLORY Song" After Mr.. Alexander had
been in charge thirty minutes Sunday after
he called the GLORY Song" For about
ten minutes he practiced the chorus and the
first verse, then he had it sung. No who heard
the practice the previous evening would have
dreamed that the people singing the
same song. BY smile nod, encour-
agement, a look of surprise, a suggestion or an
anecdote he worked transformation in the man
ner and the poise of the singers and the tone and
the volume of the hymn.
Let me sing the chorus first. Perhaps you have
not sung it just this way" After singing the
chorus
80, that will be-glory for me
Glory for me-glory for me-
When by His Grace, I shall look in His face
That will be glory, be glory for me-"
Mr.. Alexander said Now, you sing it," On the
first line he dropped his hand and the pianist
stopped.
you do not need to keep your eyes on your
books for this chorus Keep them on my hand.
Now, together" Again disappointment followed.
The leader and the pianist three four notes
ahead of their friends. Now, together. If this
is faster than you accustomed to sing it, drop
out a few words and come Once more" The
change in time and manner magical. That's
pretty good" said the leader, encouragingly 'T
see great possibilities in you; but you must get
your breath quicker. Snap your eyes faster. Solid
This time the chorus singing entirely and with
apparent satisfaction until the last line was
reached. The pace set in the first then could not
be slackened easily and several voices were heard
ahead Of the leader.
"Fhe last line slowly-hod it," he souted. you
hold it just as long as my hand is up If it's half
an hour, stay with me-" Then the audience pre-
pared by the lesson given to the choir sang the
chorus Then came the first verse and the chorus:
when all my labors and trials are DER
And I am safe on that beautiful shore
Just to be near the dear Lord 1 adore
VIII through the ages be glory for me-"
20, that will be-glory for me
Glory for me-glory for me-
When by His Grace, I shall look in His face
That viii be glory, be glory for me-"
