pARCO SUNDAY SERMONS

THAT Little Habit" was the sub
ject OF the morning sermon from
John 3:7. I'VE must be born again"
The pcculiarities which distin-
guish us ms human beings come down
to us very largely from ancestors
more or less remote. Those on the
good side Ms n rule are hidden or
crusted over by those OF the other
kind which like weeds need no culti-
walton. whereas the better traits of
character demand n special heroic
treatment To bring them out. This
treatment is called the new birth
n miracle contrary To the natural
bent and calling for Creative help.
Yet II accords with our highest free
dom and treats us ms rational free
beings. II proceeds along three lines:
Gods gentle coercion. Tho spirit
working through the church. Molding
Agencies political. Industrial and so
ciai. Loving sympathy for the back
ward and defective as seen In mis-
sionary work and AUGMENTATION
efforts. Is the debt Of the more for
tunatc TO their less fortunate broth
crs.
Fired for Cause" the evening
theme, was based on Deuteronomy
3l:l. Thou shalt see II with thine
eyes but thou shalt not go over
thithcr."

Proposition three: The blankest wall

The subjects at the Parco Com

closed motorcar. I felt myself be-
ing assisted into the machine; I
made no effort to resist. 1 think I
must have fallen into a stupor, for
the next thing that I remembered
l found myself sitting in a huge
armchair. Some n was holding a
spoon to my lipe. and I was drink
ing greedily of a hot soup.
A few spoonfuls must have revived
me. I a up. pushed the spoon
away and reached for the bowl from
which the fur-collared gentleman
he had DOTTED his overeoat now-was
feeding me. He did not resist, and 1
lifted the bowl to my mouth. 1t re
vived me, yet merely sharpened my
craving for solid food.
My benefactor--at the moment I
considered him such-smiled. There
was neither mirth nor kindness pos
sible to those thin lips, but there was
a certain bleak friendliness.
Feel better?" he asked.
He knew my condition and I did
not pretend to hide it.

Then Weinberg's visitor, turning
his collar up so that his fiashy shirt
stud was hidden, nodded abruptly to
the proprietor and walked out of
the shop. His hard eyes searched
my face as he passed. However, he
did not pause, and 1 promptly for
got him under stress of my negotia-
tons, with Weinberg.
I had done too much business
with the pawnbroker for him to be-
lieve that there was any remote
chance of my ~redeeming the goods
which I pledged with him. l had
every reason to believe that he took
advantage of my poverty; yet 1 was
too proud to open negotiations else
where.
1 did not haggle. I asked for ten
dollars; the ivory alone was worth
more than that, I believed; the silver
frame in which the portrait was set
must also have been worth at least
ten dollars. Intrinsically, the thing,
as "a work Of art, was worth hun
dreds. Sentimentally, it was price

time to gain an impression Of
shrewd eyes, a rat-trap mouth. a dia-

less. But the need of Mrs. Cannon
was beyond anything else. l took
the five dollars that Weinberg Of
fered and went out.
The midwinter air had grown chill
lier with the later hours. I shud-
dered as I stepped from the close at
mosphere of the pawnship upon the
sidewalk.
I had promised Mrs. Cannon her
money within an hour, I could keep
my promise and still have time, be
fore paying her, in which to satisfy
my ~anguished stomach. I walked
up Sixth Ave. toward a mean little
restaurant where I could dine
cheaply.
1 was as near to an animal as it is
possible for nan tc be. My whole
being was concentrated on the effort
to conserve my energies so that I
would not collapse before reaching
the restaurant. So when a man laid
a hand IN my shoulder. hating my
feeble progress, I turned on him
with a snarl. I was at the door of
the place where I planned to satisfy
my hunger, and a delay maddened
me.
Let go!" I cried.
I recognized my gentleman of the
fur collar at once. He stepped slight
ly back, then smiled overwhelmingly.

toward the restaurant door. He
stopped me once more.

yourself o~vereating. Come along
with me and I'll fix you up"
1t was bad enough that Mrs. Gan
non and the pawnbroker should
know my abject poverty; it was
shameful enough that I myself
should know of my starvation; but
it was worse that a man whom I
had never seen, until twenty min
ute3 ago.. should accost me thus and
venture impertinent solicitude. For
no matter how kindly he may have
meant it, I considered it an unwar-
ranted intrusion into affairs strictly
my own. Moreover, he had struck
at more than my pride; he was in
terfering with the qualification of
my appetite. AS I have said, I had
become anima1-like. Reason had de-
parted from me; I was governed
by my belly. not by my mind. So,
like any animal baked OF his food,

Had 1 not known how weak pri-
walton had made me. I would have
learned it then. For he avoided
my blow with ease. Exhausted by
my effort, I pitched forward and
would have fallen to the ground
had he not caught me. The next
few minutes were blurred. I dimly

He glanced over his shoulder at
the opened door leading to the next
room. He called a question, and a
man-servant, correctly dressed, ap-
peared. He announced that dinner
was served.
My host looked at me. Can you
make it?" he asked.
Watch me- I replied.
rose ~unsteadily and walked with
him into the dining-room. The soup
had helped me mentally as well as
physically. My mind felt clarified;
I was able to exercise a se~lf-control
that had been lacking in me. I did
not heed his warning that l must
eat sparingly. But after his warn
ing he tried to put me at my ease.
1 was surprised that the owner of
such a face could possess SO much
tact. And as I ate, I tried to take
stock of my host and his surround
ings.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

SAW myself, before,I had OPP
portunity to prove those I'M
- developed gifts, entering the
French hospital service at the out
break of the great war. 1 saw my
self later, transferring to the army,
which later decorated me for valor.
And then I saw the months that fol-
lowed the war. Wounded in the last
battle before the Armistice, L was
discharged, as cured, six months
later. Illness developed, and the last
of my fathers estate went to a my
hospital bills.
I saw myself seeking work. I re-
membered the sudden horror that
swept over me when I discovered
that 1 was incompetent. 1 was a
dilettante and the world refuses to
pay the amateur. I knew no trade.
no profession. The only thing that
I could do better than most people
was the performance of certain
tricks in Straightforward. That was
because few people practiced parlor
magic.
I had in me a streak of stubborn
ness, that I called pride, that for
bade me to trade upon my fathers
friendships. Like all youths who
have been brought up with the idea
that there will always be enough
money available for their wants, I
was %conceited. 1 thought that sue
cess was an easy matter.
I will not recount all the visions
that passed before me as I looked at
the miniature. Suffice it, that with
times hard, 1 got no work. And when
finally I had swallowed my pride and
was willing to work as a common
manual laborer, illness and priva-
ton had Slapped my strength. 1 had
moved from the best hotel in New
York to as shabby a rooming-house

lady threatened me with eviction.
Well, I could at least assure my
self another week Of shelter. After
that refused to contemplate what
would follow after the proceeds of

We're gone.
I had not eaten for forty-eight
hours. Before that 1 had eaten
scantily, not more than once a day,
for six months. As a sandwich man,
as an errapd man when l could get
a job, as guardian of m|otorcars
parked on The city streets. l had
managed to pick up enough added
to the results of frequent trips to
the pawnshcp, to pay my small
rental, and buy myself an occasional
meal. But for the last two days 1
had earned nothing. And l was too
proud to beg. Today 1 was starry
ing.
I recognized that fact at last.
Starvation! That, unless I yielded
TO the impulse Of self destruction,
was my inevitable end. The battle
was over, even though I might post

At least, though, I would die owing
