SNH. / know that my father
and the others will try to
put him out-but can
thsy?" Alison asked.
II was Mrs. Constable's turn to
stare. The hand she suddenly and
impuisively put forth trembled on
Alison's wrist.
don't know, Alison-Im afraid
they can. 1t is too terrible to think
about. And they can't-they won't
believe that many changes are COM
ing. that this Is but one Of many
signs. Do come and see me-"
Alison left her. marveling at the
passage between them, and that, of
all persons in the congregation Of
st. Johns, the lightning should
have struck Mrs. Constable. Turn
ing to the right on Burton street,
she soon found herself walking
rapidly westward through deserted
streets lined by factories and ware
houses, and silent in the Sabbath
calm. She thought Of Holder, she
would have liked to go to him in
that hour.
In Park street luncheon was at
over, and Nelson LAngmaid was at
the table with her father. The law
yer glanced at her curiously as she
entered the room, and his usual
word of banter. she thought was
rather lame. The two went on, for
some time, discussing a railroad suit
In Texas. And Alison. as she hur-
ried through her meal, leaving the
dishes almost untouched, scarcely
heard them. Once, in her reverie,
her thoughts reverted to another
Sunday when Holder had sat, an
honored guest, in the chair. which
Mr.. Langmaid now occupied.
1t was not until they got up from
the table that her father turned to
her.
Ibid you have a good sermon?"
he asked.
1t was the underlying note Of
challenge. to which she responded
"The only good sermon l have
ever heard"
Their eyes met. Lagmaid looked
down at the tip Of his cigar.
'Mr. Holden" said Eldon Parr,
sis to be congratulated"
"Hodder, when the service was
over, had sought the familiar re-
cess In the robing room. the words
which he himself had spoken still
ringing in his ears. And then he
recalled the desperate prayer with
which he had entered the pulpit,
that 1t might be given him J." that
hour what to say; the vivid memo
ries OF the passions and miseries in "
Dalton street. the sudden hot re-
Spouse OF indignation at the COM
placency confronting him. His
voice had trembled with anger.
ANGER TURNED TO PITY.
He remembered as he had paused
in his denunciation Of these who
upturnd look of Alison Parr, and
his anger had turned to pity for
their blindness-which had once
been his own: and he had gone on
and on, striving to interpret for
them on his new revelation of the
message of the Saviour. to impress
upon them the dreadful yet sublime
meaning Of life eternal.
And it was in that moment the
vision of the evolution of his race,
of the Prodigal returning to re-
sponsibility-of which he once had
had a glimpse-had risen before his
eyes in it's COMPREHENSIVE guild
ing hand of God in history! The
Spirit in these complacent souls, as
yet unstirred.
So complete. now, was his forget
fitness Of self. of his future, of the
irrevocable consequences OF the
step he had taken, that it was only
he became aware that
some one was standing near him.
and with a start he recognized Nc
Crae.
There are some waiting to speak
to ye," his assistant said.
ooh" Holder exclaimed. He be-
gan. mechanically. to divest him
self of his surplice. McCrae stood
by.
I'D like to say a word first--if
ye don't mind he began.
The rector looked at him quickly.
"I'd like just to thank ye for that
said MeCrae; he turned away and
left the room abruptly.
This Characteristic tribute from
left him tingling. He made his way
to the door and saw the people in
the choir room. standing silently,
in groups. looking toward him.
Some one spoke to him, and he rec
ognized Eleanor Goodrich.
I'VE couldn't help coming. Mr..
to tell you how much
We admire you. 1t was wonderful,
what you said"
THE RIGHT KIND OF RELIGION.
He grew hot with gratitude, with
that there were some
who understood-and that this wo-
man was among them, and her
husband Phil Goodrich took him
by the hand.
81 can understand that kind Of
religion" he said "And IL neces-
sary. l can fight for 1t, have
come to enlist"
"And / can understand It, too"
added the sunburned Evelyn. 81
