on the other hand how little he
knew about her too! He thought
she was sweet and good, and 10y
al; he saw her through the rose
colored glasses of love, those kind
" glasses that never quite reflect
the truth.
She was Marks wife, but in her
heart was a queer throbbing dread
that she was going to lose John
Anderson.
And just now-if Flora really
went away in the morning, she
would need him so badly.
OF course she could go out to
Mark if the worst came to the
worst that seemed a terrible
way to put it.
Surely if the best came to the
best should have been the right
way in which to think of a future
when they would be together
again.
But John had said that life
where Mark had gone was damn
able.'
Heat, flies, lonliness, timed
food, fever and an ever increasing
longing for home" she remem
bered his words so faithfully.
They painted an unenticing pic
ture.
She crept into bed and lay
awake for a long time staring into
the darkness, trying to comfort
herself with the belief that in the
morning Flora would laugh at her
overnight emotion, and that life
would go on in the same comfort
able rut.
Flora could not possibly uproot
them all so calmly-it vas her
duty to consider the man she had
married, if she had no thought for
anyone else.

II LOVE MY

THERE were friends who would
take her for a time, of course,
Sondra thought, but one could not
go on for ever sponging for hos
pitality; besides, when it was
known that she hadn't any money,
would anyone be anxious for her
company? She knew they would
not.
Flora said abruptly. Il wish to
goodness you could marry John
Anderson; can't you make him get
rid of his wife,"
"Tm not aware that John has
any overwhelming desire to marry
me-" Sondra said. Besides .
isn't it rather a contradiction, to
advise me to put my head in the
noose you're so anxious to escape?
Do you think | should be any hap
pier than you are, if | married for
money!
"But you like John, don't you?"
Flora said amazed. II always
thought you were ~frightfully fond
of him."
"Fond of him!" Sondra echoed.
Pm fond of lots of men, but /
haven't the least desire to marry
any of them"

the total membership in 1881 be-
ing placed at $685. 64, the larg-
est in history. According to gov
eminent estimates, the 1881 popu-
lation was 24,070, 900.
Church history shows that
Christianity rose among the poor.
When poverty, famine, disease,
and war were undermining the
apparent prosperity of the Ro-
man empire, millions of people
turned to the new religion, with
the result that early in the fourth
century it won full state recogni-
ton.
In recent times, according 10
DR.. Kieffer's figures, the churches
not only have gained in member
ship decade after decade but alss
have increased the proportion of
that membership to the total pop
ulation of the country; that b,
church membership has been grow
ing faster than the population.
In 1910 in the United States
there were only 85 church mem
bers in every 1000 of population
In 1920 there were 1898. Today
there are 401. DR.. Herman C.
Weber, next editor of the Hand
book of the Churches, points ont
that the adult (13 years and over)
church membership in 1881 was 81
per cent of the adult population.

FLORA was proposing to behave
in an abominably selfish way.
And yet-was she herself any less
selfish, Sondra wondered.
Sondra knew she was not. She
cared nothing for Flora's happi-
ness as long as her own life was
secure; she had not even cared for
Marks happiness. She had not
been willing to share his life with
him, she had shrunk from the
h%ardships and discomforts.
If she could only see him again,
just for a moment, only be reas-
