those dresses.
She started towards Delia's room
and then stopped. Did she want to
risk bringing things to an issue in this
way? Should Della refuse. now. she
would have to discharge her. And she
did not want to do that. She resolved
to wait until Della went back to the
kitchen, to get dinner.
She was more than ever determined
that she should be obeyed. Della had
carried off successfully her refusal to
wear a cap. But her disobedience must
end there
1t was half past four when she again
heard her moving about in the kitch-
en-. When she opened the door Della
was comfortably seated at the table
peeling potatoes.
Della, did you forget to wash out
those little dresses"
No answer.

Della mumbled something about not

For only a second Helen hesitated
Then she walked over, took the pan of
potatoes from Delia's lap and said very
quietly.

Delia's only answer was a more vib-
orous polishing of the silver. And
again Helen left the kitchen to await
developments.
At one O'Clock Della came to her
door with a curt:
Your luncheons ready, ma'em.
1t was a delicious little luncheon of
salad, toast and fruit. But Helen could
not enjoy it for wondering, had she
washed out those things?"
DELLA REFUSES TO SURRENDER.
1t was not until after three, when
Helen heard her leave the kitchen,
than she ventuTed in again, Everything
was in perfect order and the place was
exQuisitely clean The shades were
drawn to show that the work was done
for the afternoon. But there on the
corner OF the table still lay the little
dresses. Della had not touched them.
1t was an unmistakable defiance.
She had said, when she came, that she
expected to do no washing And now
she was calmly refusing to do 1t. Hell

oullen and wanted to do the work in
her own way without interference or
instruction.
For the first two days Helen left
her undisturbed. 1t was the third
morning that she took a couple of ba-
by's dresses and a tiny wooden sack
and laid them on the kitchen table.
LAS soon as you are through with
the dishes l should like you to wash

Della neither answered or turned
around Helen went back into the
nursery feeling that the warfare had
begun. Would she wash them out or
would she not? She purposely refrain

Fifty Organizations in Illinois
to Be Addressed by Rev. d.

OF American Baptist Home
Missionary Society.

~ ABOR unions of Illinois, to the num-
~ Der of about fifty, have arranged
- for meetings to be addressed by the
Rev. D. r. Schultz during the months of
September and October in an effort both to
improve the conditions and outlook Of shop
and mine workers and to bring about
better relations between workers and en-
ployers.
Mr.. Schultz is the labor evangelist OF
the American Baptist Home Missionary So
ciety, supported in part by the Baptists
of western Pennsylvania The Illinois
tour in the interest of church and labor
will have the cooperation of both unions
and almost all churches in cities visited,
not Baptist alone.
Mr.. Schultz came into prominence dur
ing the coal operatives strikes Of the
winter of 1910 and 1911. He was a Pitts
burgh pastor at the time, but throwing
himself into the strike conditions and
securing material aid for the strikers, he
gained the support of the labor unions
they accepted his teachings. and the Bap-
fist Society needed their appeal that he
give all of his time to their welfare a
new form of home mission work.
This past July and August Mr.. Schultz
has spoken many times in the mill dis
tricts of Pittsburgh, on streets and In
shops. labor unions cooperating. The
union conventions he has also addressed
by invitation. to confer with them abou
lines of effort by him among the people.
He is to speak to the unions themselves
throughout Illinois this autumn, to CO.
operate with them, as we'll as to address
miners and mill people and their families.
Baptist success along this line is being
taken up by others, and labor and en-
OlOyers alike are supporting the efforts.

from the imaginings of our own minds
II there were no authoritative state
ments to rely upon.
True Christian faith is therefore the
sincere and complete credence of testi
mony, and that testimony is the word
of revelation contained in the scriptures
of the Old and New Testaments.
In order to have faith there must be
knowledge. The testimony must be
read and heard.
Faith cometh by hearing and hear
ing by the word Of God"
This word must be known and un-
derstood. True faith cannot be a prod
uct of ignorance The exhortation is Ito
search the Scriptures"
A firm persuasion Of the truth Of the
gospel statements is prerequisite to
Christian faith. There must be an I'M
wavering conviction that the Scriptures
contain full, true, faithful and
gracious message from God to us.
Such a conviction causes a personal
reception of the gospel as the means of
salvation. and produces confidence. re-
lance and trust.
