All the next day the minister sat in his
study. His thought dwelt continually on
the unusual incident OF the previous night
and he set himself 10 snalyze his feel
ings. He was certain that he had in his
heart a genuine concern for the eternal
welfare Of the lonely girl. He persuaded
himself that this was wholly a commend
able desire and that it was quite imper-
sonai IN rs nature But at the same tine
ne could not hide from himself the facJ
that he was desperately and irretrievably
in love. And he knew that It was a love
that would never wane OF pass away.
though he did not disguise from himself
that II was a hopeless love-a love that
would only bring misery 70 him and 20
