descending the stairs the clock
struck five and as yet no one was
astir. What to do was my next
thought. Books and the garden
had no attraction for me then;
I could not play on the piano
for fear Of arousing the family.
At last I decided to prepare the
breakfast. When it was about
half ready there came ring at
the telephone, which I fastened
to answer. To my great surprise
it was one of my friends. Recog-

she explained that she had

is stated for the E~piscopalians that
their withdrawal was because of no

of the rather unsettled condi-
tiOns in two of the leading Episco-

cause it was not regarded that there
was as great need for the evangelistic
campaign as some thought.
