A WOMAN'S PAST

The boy looked at the beautiful
woman upon the sofa before him,
seated respondent in, her evening
gown, and his heart sweIIed with Ella
ton. It was the great moment in a
boys life; Charles Ames had won
the love of Della Gray.
And that he was "a and she 80 did
not move him from his resolution to
hold her to her promised word and
never let her go.
The pursuit had been a long one.
At first she had laughed at him, she
had stTiven hard in the net, but at

youth and at last she knew that
there was no way of escape for her.
She loved as she had never loved in
all her CheckeTed life before.
She promised to be his wife, and
knew at the same time that the
dream was impossible. What would
HardwiCk Ames say when he learned
that his millions were to become the
property of an adventures?

kissed her at parting, in the way
boys speak.
Della Gray was not surprised to
receive a visit from the millionaire
the following afternoon. It was only
half a mile from his mansion across
the park to her fiat, though whole
world separated them.
Della was pleasantly surprised at
the appearance of her visitor. She
had pictured Hardwick Ames as a
different sort of man, not the pol
ished gentleman who stood before
her.
Won't you sit down, Mr.. Ames?"
she asked nerVOusly.
He took his seat near her and
studied her intently. How old are
you, Miss Gray?" he asked abruptly.

.FllR RULES FlR
BIBLE Reading:
They Are Given BY Eyangel-
list Taylor at the Chris
tian Church.

The great revival at the Central
Christian church continues with inter
est AMI attendance undated. Last
night every available space was pack
ed. Long before the hour scheduled
for service the people came that they
might get q seat. Because otSthe I'M
mense crowds, overflow meetings
have been planned.
The greatest interest is being shown
in the opening song service. From
little tots to the old gray.hatred fatn'
ers and mothers in Israel, one sees
a sight long to be remembered as the
child and the old saint vie with each
other in singing the good old songs
our mothers sang. The songs and
solos OF last night, touching on DR..
TayIor's theme, THE Book That Moth,
er Read, !" brought tears to many an eye
as memory brought up the deas old
faces and voices now hushed by death.
Just before the sermon Or. Mitchell,
the pastor ofithe church, outlined the
plans given him by the evangeltsts
for the coming weeks work. Begin,
ming Sunday morning a new line OF
sermon themes and solos will be OF
fered the public. A splendid orches'
ira will be present at the Sunday
school and become a permanent asset
OF that work in the future.
DIR. Taylor spoke last evening on
the theme, 1.-THE Book Mother Read
It was a beautiful and instructive
sermon on the value of the Bible as q
book of instruction In the science OF
right swing and ,solace in days Of trou'
bic. He said II you should undertake
to weigh literature in scales al value
the Bible ouptweighed all Others. He
gave q fine exposition on the compost
ton structure of the book, and in this
relation showed how to classify its
messages. So as to get an intelligent
idea a duty both as sinner aud one
protesting to be saved. He gave rule
for safe reading, as follows: When
reading ask yourself who speaks this
message? Second, to whom spoken
Third. under whot dispensations
Fourth, for what purpose given? In
this way he said one would find the
Bible most interesting book and the
reader would get an intelligent con
ception OF what he read.
A fine tribute was paid our mothers
who taught US from its sacred pages
the way OF life and duty. There was
scarcely a dry eye in the great au
dience when the name Of mother and
the book of her comfort were por
trayed. Four persons came forward
and confessed Christ. Forty have
been converted and many others are
thinking seriously OF living the life
taught in mothers Bible.
