when he took the morphine in order
to find, as he put it in the note to Mrs.

He entered the Methodist ministry

world better, and>of drawing It closer
to God. He fought strenuously to
realize that vision, but all ct once the
black idea seized him, that he had
failed and that in spite of his years
Of endeavor, and hardships the world

stead of his ministering to the Church
that every saint and sinner should be
invited to contribute to his peace and
comfort, even as for years he had la
bored for them. There would be less
preaching, of course, but more devel

old preacher treated in this manner

"A Feature of Our Life Today Brought
Out by the Suicide of DR.. Harris,
the Hero of His Wife's Novel.

William, the Circuit Rider, is dead
He killed himself in a Georgia field
last Sunday.
He was the Rev. DR.. Lundy H. Har-
ris, the original of the central charac-
ter in "a Circuit Riders Wife," That
was the book written by his wife,
Cora Harris, which created such a
sensation when it was published, by
reason of its frank exposure of the
conditions under which Methodist
circuit riders have to live and work.
For years DR.. Harris was a circuit
rider, and every thing of which Mrs.
Harris wrote she knew by bitter ex-
perience.
Her story was wonderful in its pit
fless revelations and in its entire ne
glect to gloss over or minimize those
features of her life which a less cour-
ageous woman would have hidden.
1t has been commonplace that
country parsons are undergrad, but
until Mrs. Harris wrote her book the
cruel hardships under which they live
were not real in the comfortable imag
nations of Americans. She did not
deal in figures, but when one under
stands that there are clergymen in
this country who serve in the cure of
souls for $111 year-and they are
not negro preachers either. although
that is the explanation which would
probably suggest itself-the unlovely
picture that she draws is made COM
plete.
1t was picture of a sensitive, re-
fined woman and a high-souled, noble
man living such a life as the poorest
tenement jewellers in "a great city
would find hard to bear, and living it
not with the tenement dweller's hope
of evolution out of it, but with the
knowledge that the sentence was for
life.
The average pay of a minister in
this country is 1868. The circuit rider
gets the minimum, and the hardships
under, which he has to live accentuate
the miserly character of his pay.
Nor was poverty the worst of it.
What else a country minister has to
put up with was vigorously and mer-
cilessly shown in Mrs. Harris book
Now her hero has added a tragic
climax to it, dying by his own hand
In what follows will be found by
those who care to know the real life
OF the true heroes of religion in this
country today, a story which should
give the most unthinking of Amer-
can pause.
