By DR. RUSSELL H. CONWH I CHAPTER II The Daun of a i'ew Uay ,UT of tho past appear two remark able faces, and tho inspiration of tho Templo University had its cm pliatlo beginning Tilth them. One wan tho faco of a young laborer, who was a fatherless boy and who had earned his living from twelve years of age. However dignified and handsome he may bo now, with Ills white hair, ho i was then a rough specimen of the crudest humanity. IIo came Into tho . first class some months later it was opened and the teacher kindly told I him ho could "come In and sit" while tho recitations were going on. He went to his work at 3 In tho morn ing with a mlllc and vegetable wagon, and slept "when ho could." Ills lan guage was full of slang and tho droll ex. was full of slang and tho droll e. presslons ho drove from his mouth were Irresistibly laughable. IIo had ! saved up 3100 and had sent money I regularly to his mother out "West. He I was sensitively honest and apparently repaired his own clothes. He did not i Know what ho would llko to study, but "would like to como in with the boys and learn something." When tho question arose concerning a textbook In grammar he said his mother had ono which had been used by his de ceased uncle who was a chool teach er. That uncle was the boy's perfect Ideal. He had graduated from Yale College and had taught in a high school. So the new scholar wrote to his mother for his uncle's grammar. When It arrived and he proudly pro duced It at the evening class the laugh- ter was long and hilarious. It was a t Latin grammar. Tho teacher settled 'Mlie matter by exchanging the Latin grammar at Leary's second-hand book storo for an English grammar. But the face which remains so clearly in Ihe foreground of memory was tho gleaming countenance of that youth ono evening after a month of study. Ho had not learned much nor shown a hopeful capacity for Intellectual achievement until that night. Sounded Like a Joke Somo kind neighbor who took a kind. ly Interest in tho "milkman's boy" told him that ho should not havo ex changed his uncle's Latin grammar. ns ho would need it for his own study erelong. It was not said as a Joke, Although It had that sound then. But that word of hope lifted the gato and let In a flood of power. He evidently had not been able to get away from the suggestion that he might somo time bo as learned ns his undo hart been. Ho mentioned his regret that he had no education to a clerk In his employer's ofllco and was carelessly told that "many men had learned from books after they were nineteen years old." This led tho Ignorant youth to call on the teacher early in the eve ning to ask If there was a remote pos sibility for him to bo a college grad uate in book knowledge. When ho was told decidedly that it could be done If ho would mako tho sacrifice he seemed dazed and went out tho door with clenched hands and muttering to himself. There arc times when tiie religious leader Bees a convert's flushed cheek and shining eyes after tho conscious sinner turns suddenly around and de cides to leave tho path of sin and walk with God and it is often described as "tho face of an angel." Tho chango In that milk boy's features and be havior was so like tho tervor of tho religious enthusiast that the teacher described It to his friends as a "New Birth." Tho jouth's appearance when lie entered the class the next evening was so changed that those who had teen him only once could easily be persuaded that it was not the same per son. Tho eyes were darker, the fore, head seemed higher and tho confidence of his step and other gestures all told In eloquent terms of the rise of a new ambition. It Is said that ho aft erward sought for his uncle's Latin grammar, determined to master the . same book as he went on to his uncle's scholastic skill. But tomo other seeker t after wisdom had taken tho book away. ,. A Face to Kemember That facel It was a creation above ( all art and beyond detcrlptlon. When he said "I will" lj was said with on I Impelling eloquence which caused one to bow in reverence. Good cheer, la- . " ; tent power, beaming nope and a mascu- .. lino iron will were recognized as his t companions. He had burst forth from ' tliti r.hrvsallr. of ignorance and hone. V lessness and felt that he could fly. A I X new creature! If his mother preserved '. tho misspelled letter he must have fr written tho next day It would be worth -- frame In the gallery of historic Gu lp T A rlos.

All or them wero disappointed to find that they must go back to first principles nnd proceed systematically along the lines of study pursued by young chil dren. But their mature minds grasped tho Ideas quickly nnd thoroughly, so that n few weeks of study 'convinced them that they could conquer If they persevered. and the applause was hearty and long. Sho wns greatly elated ' and clasped her Instructor nnd wept grcut tears of Joy. Her faco was tho face of a UvIiik bout. Such an hour repaid her well for all tho meatless meals, tho weary nights und tho hard study. Many such gleaming faces tho in structors have seen since then, but v hen sho beamed first the world was new.

But tho time soon came, ns it does to every adult Btudents. when tho alternation In work between muscular labor, and mental application made each a rest ful change. Vigorous labor nnd In teresting study mako strong, healthy, happy men and women. Tho man who Is exclusively n farmer or me chanic finds his chief delight In mental games or other intellectual amuse ments, and the scholar seeks tho farm or shop to give his muscles recrea tion nnd his mind a rest.

In an esiay written by ono who was a factory hand,.ho said: "A strong body, a clear mind, a puro character mako n trluno man. which Is tho highest expression on earth of tho Trluno God." That thought has ever slnco'beeii the goal of the Tem ple University. "Three men In one" mako tho completed Ideal of the Tem plo courrses of Instruction. As soon ns those soven saw tho rewards of victory they entered tho battlo with elated hearts. But even then they buildcd belter than they know. Tho cxtrcmest imagination could not pic ture what they accomplished for the world by honestly laboring to make tho most of themselves.

She wan do ing some kind of unskilled labor in a largo hat factory, and was sent by her boarding mistress on nn errand to a scholar in tho class. Sho listened to n recitation by ono ot tho rlass and went away bewailing her fate. To bo a woman without education, money or friends is as hopeless a situation ns can bo found in a civilized land. Her traits of character reminds oni- of a description of Mrs. Livemorc, writ ten for tho Boston Sunday Times years ago by Doctor Curtis, now of tho Ladles' Homo Journal, lie wrote that hho was "always pushing some thing, nnd n mulo would finally move on before her " That characteristic distinguished the young, tho thin chested, weak-voiced hat factory girl.

Sho trembled und choaked ns he begun, but secured her self possession by tho time sho reached v tho third verso in the poem entitled "Your Mission." "If you cannot in the harvest fiarnir up tho richest sheaves. Many a grain, both ripo and gulden, You can glean among the briars Growing rank against tho wall And it may bo that the shadows Hido tho heaviest wheat of all. ' When tho teacher complimented her on her natural talent, sho nnswered: "My soul aches to write something llko that!" When tho teacher told her that sho could writo liner things than that if sho would study, she said: IT .1nn. . . n 1. nV., .. 41.l.1. T 1 can push somo ono else, but I cannot do things myself."
