I passed tlie remainder of the night lit a barn belonging to ono of Dyer's neighbors, for It seemed unwise to re main upon his estate. Grandfather Graves was evidently e. man of action dosplte his advanced years, and I had no desire to encounter him again, ex cept upon tho most conventional terms. Ills musket shot must have aroused the household; Indeed, from n lurking placo among tho trees, I saw lights flash at many of tho windows; but there was no Indication that a search' wus being made for me outsldo the house. Whether ho had recognized me, or had mistaken me for a burglar of the ordinary sort, wiw a matter to which I devoted considerable thought without reaching any conclusion, as I lay upon my scented couch of hay In the hospitable bam. I breakfasted at tho farmhouse, nnd then set out upon anoth'er reconnols sanco In tho direction of my friend's abode. It was my hope to encounter Wrs. Dyer at such distance from the h'ouso ns would enabls me to talk with her unmolested by her formidable mother or tha prpmpt and irascible Grandfather Graves. I thought It prob nble that the events of the last twenty-four hours might have shaken her allegiance to the Graves faction so much that she might bo willing to nbandon whatever enterprise was on foot. With this purpose in view I ap proached tho "old Peters placo" In as Sunday School lesson for Me 20. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Rom. siv, 30-2L By REV. J. E. GILBERT, D.D., LL.D. Secretary of the American Society of Religious Education. INTRODUCTION. After extensive travels and labors In Asia Minor, Mace donia and Oreece, Paul greatly desired vo exorcise his ministry In Homo. The C5o6jel had been carried there, by whom J not known, but tho apostle to tho Uen tlles folt dr.wn to the biethren of tho Im perial City that ho might find comfort and confirm them In tho fallh. (Horn, I, M-12). To ptepara for his coming ho wroto tha book from which our 103son Is taken today the sixth of his epistle. The great theme, hero treated Is, Ju&tlficatlon by faith, which he handles In a calmer and more extended manner than ho had dono In tho lotter to the Galutlans wiitten the prevloui year In applying that therno he refers In tli Inst six chapters to all tho matteis which at that tlmo might cause diversity of opinion among people who had been gathered from nil parts of tho civ ilized elobe. Out of the heterogenous multitude it was no easy task to mako ono congreJtlcn, loyal to their convic tions and to Chi 1st, harmonious amon,? themnulvea. and so prepared for a ml slon of great usefulness In Europe. QUDSTJON.-By reading from tho be Klnnlng of our chapter it will appear that tho Jewish converts were not In full ac cord with Ucntllo converts. The chief matter In dispute (verges 2 and 21 waa thPt upon which soveral years prevloutly tho Jerusalem church had made a deliv erance. (Acts xv, 29), What thfsii was a mere advice -had been elovatcd Into a doctrine. Along with tho question of meat was that of a day whether tha seventh day or tha Hint, tha Jowls.h or tho Chris, tltin Sabbath (verses), should bo observed, Tho disputations on theso subjects had led to Borao pergonal encounters, Our les so.i opens (vorto 10) with tho question, "Why dost 'thou Judgo thy brother?" rYou may not agree with hl:n In his views on theso controvorted points, but how 'dare, you presume, because of differences, to sek him at naught? Ho Is your broth er In thu church, entitled to his opinions ns much as you. The llomnn Christians had not learned that freedom of thought Is the privilege nnd tho duty of eory fol V)wer of Christ (versa B), Paul's qucs tlon was a piotcst against narrowness, i bigotry end Intolerance. ACCOUNTABILITY. Every rcqulre mer.t and teaching1 of Hcrlpturn rests twpon reme, fundamental fact, generally mud j known. It wns tho purposo of the apdstles, and of thoptophets before them, to persuade men to conform their Uvea to a Dlvlnoly established order. So tho question her: raised derived Its force from u, truth. Immediately announced (verses 10-15), namely, that of person ally accountability to God. All shall "ttnnd boforo the Judgment scat," "ov ery lnieo sIihII bow," "every tongue shall confess." Theie assertions of the apojtlo ar o,ioi madd an If they contained new und stru'tltne disclosures of the future, Tb latftntlcvji wns not o convey Infor mation. Everybody, at least Jews and Christian., believed In a general Judg ment, The drctrlno was deeply Imbedded In Old Testament literature (Psalm Ix, 7), and In human nature. (Keel. Ill, 17). It Is. hero stated only to show thu folly of human Judgment Why should a man un. dertake the cieroga'tvo of Qod? Man, so Short-sighted and fallible, hastening on to give account of himself to the u yrvmn Hulcr, may well refrain from pro secret a manner as possible, choosing a, course that led through n, thick grove of spruce and fir trees whose green Wall oomplctely shut off tho houso from observation on the north'. I had forced my way about two hundred yards through this thicket when 1 be came aware of a little clearing In the midst of It. The sun had climbed up sn high that Its rays struck through the tops of tho trees nnd glinted upon something white. In the open; and It was this which first attracted my at tention. Immediately I perceived that the clearlnjr was a burial ground, 'and I remembered that the Peters family which for a century or more had In habited the estate, hud been so far from a village that they would hardly have borne their denrt to a, churchyard. It Is not uncommon In rural Now Eng land to see the monuments of the dead almost under the window of the liv ing. Usually they are not placed In so retired a spot upou the estate as was h'ero the case, but can be seen from th traveled road. The flash of the white stone attract ed me sufficiently to make me turn usldo from my way, towards the small cemetery. It was the last place where I should have feared, discovery; and therefore my surprise was great when, upon forcing my way between two masses of green boughs, I suddenly perceived a woman standing beside one of the graves. In a moment I rec ognized Mrs. Dyer, She held some llowers In her hands I had noticed that she cultivated a great many In tho house and as I watched her, she bent down and placed her offering care fully upon tho low mound at her feet. Then she knelt down for a moment. Instinctively I bowed my head; and when I raised my eyes again, she was just slipping away Into llie grove, on the other side of the clearing. So gret was my surprlsa at this en counter that, though It wa3 Just what I had wished for, I failed to take ad vantage of It. She was gone beforu I could command my voice and call to her. Yet I had learned all that I could wish to know. A strong wave of grief passed over me. So genuine wao my sorrow that I took no 'note of the strango complications and contradic tions that were Involved In the discov ery I had made. With uncovered head I. approached the mound beside which she had knelt. A small nnd plain slab waa erected there. It had suffered much from the weather, and that surprised me, but not neaily so much an did the Inscrip tion which I saw upon 'the stone: I Sacred to the. Memory of nUPHAbET C.

(Matt, vil, 1-2). AUTEJP.NATIV.E.-When nn Improper action Is condemned It is woll to point out a proper action. If ono has been mouse J to undettake romo measure and tho meth od adopted will defeat that measure ho docs a kindly seivlce who offers as nn altflrnatlve, a method that Is likely to se cure the desired result. Now, supposs a man bos errod either In opinion or con duct, hainh condemnation hurt him and ought nut to be. allowed. But they who nltr.OHH the en or may safely do for him, and ought to do for him, what will bo helpful. Let each bo sure not to put any "stumbling block" In tho man's way. This Is what Paul urges, a brotherly Chilstlan com so (verso 13), It is hero recognized ns a fort that men are dependent very larg ly upon their surroundings. (I Cor. vlll, S). This Inhibition Is, however, Intended mn-lnly for the person who might be Judged, a restraint upon men who might oVhcrwlso conclude that they wero at llbeity to act Independently of other's opinions. Whertts, all must refrain from thoso things which may call for criticism. Dl'JPILEMDNT.-Paul now comes to tho very matter In dispute, tho eating of things offered to Idols. He does not tako sldei with cither party nlflrmlng or de nying, but ho opens up the BUbJect In tho light of tho new and essential doctrines of Chilf.lnnlty, He makes tho Itomans know that sin doei not consist In mere action, but in -the mctlvo that promps tho ac tion, Henco thern Is nothing unclean In a pie ;o of meat because It has been ued In tho saerttlci) of tho heathen (verse H). The meat is precisely the same as though It bad been previously offered In Jewish worship. But If a man csteemeth It to ho uncleip It Is unclean, because In eat IrJf it he has violated his conscience (I Cor. vlll, 7). In another lotter ho ad vide against such conscientious scruples (I Cc. x, 25), but here ho admits that If tha conscience condemn, tho man must not iat Ho makes this assertion In a very positive miinr.ei, declaring that It wan not mciely a matter of peisonal judgment, but a persuasion of the Lord Jean meaning; either that It was a de duction troni general Christian principle or a revelation. CHAUITY.-Thlu lat statement seemed u. furnish a giound for settlement. The man who anw wrong In It might cat, nnd tho man who did seo wrong might refrain each cntlng according to hU con vlcltion. On that basis great freedom was posslblo without criticism. But the caso could not bo adjusted in that way without danger to the church. Ho whose con eclen'4 forbade the eating would be grieve! when ho saw 1Mb brother eating meat offot-ed to Idols. The hleher sentl monU of religion will not permit ono to overlook what h believes to be wrong simply because another does not believe It to bo wrong. If the two are in the same church tho former must suffer intensely in being obliged to fellowship anoth'er whom practices ha does not approve, Under such circumstances, the latter Is obligated to refrain for his brother' e.ike Here Is enunciated that noble law of Christian lovf. which makes one llva not for himself, but for others. This law the ipostle applied tol himself In very forceful words (I Cnr vill, 13), when dis In the old barn, and dreaming fantastic nonsense. Why should Mrs. Dyer come In the early morning to lay flowers upon tho grave of Ellphalot C. Peters, who had flourished principally In the preceding century? It was Inconceiv able. Her conduct required a rntlonat explanation, and was susceptible of It. I put on my hat nnd hurried toward the house. There seemed to be no longer nny need of concealment, and so I ap proached tho front door boldly. Mrs. Dyer was on the veranda with her mother and Grandfather Graves. They all sprang up at sight of me, and I thought that the younger woman was going to run away, but sustained by the presence of the others, she remain ed. I bade them all good morning as courteously ns I could. "Well?" cried Mrs. Graves, sharply. "Out with It. What do you know?" "I know that Bertram Is dead," said I, "and that you stole a headstone In order that It might help you to tell a lie." "No, no; not quite so bad as that," snld Grandfather Graves. "We didn't rob anybody, dead or alive. I found Ellphalet Peters' tombstone up In the loft over the woodshed, and I know all about it. The stone wns ordered when Ellphalet was sick, but he disappoint ed his relations nnd got well. Tho story hn3 been handed down. Peters died and was burled somewhere else." "Mother," sobbed Mrs. Dyer, "tell him why we did this wicked thing." "I suppose I must," responded Mm. Graves; "but I wish he'd minded his own business. The fact Is that we did what anv sensible folks would have done, and what Bertram told us to do. He knew that he hadn't long to live when he moved up here. He had some kind of heart trouble. Hut ho had made a great name, and he didn't want It to be wasted. Anything with his name on It would sell, and so he wrote all he could, and used up a good deal of old stuff that nobody would buy be fore ho got to be famous." "All recognized geniuses do that." sail I Well, he died," continued Mis. Graven, "and there we weie. It came upen us very suddenly." "We had hoped he might pull through," said Grandfather Graves. ' 1 la he have any literary ndilstanco befoic before he died'" 1 aUcd "No," responded Mrs. Grao.T "He wa. always saying that he would find some ere, but he never did. When the po v dear boy was gone wo buried h!m in tho Peters cemetery. But we couldn't let his name perish with him, 1 ap peal to you, sir; could we.'" "Remember that he had a very large fnmll," said Grandfather Grave3. "Jt was a trying situation," 1 ad mitted. "What did you do?" , "Wp sent for my rephew, Clarence." replied Mrs. Graves. "Ke Is the young man who person ated the Greenville doctor, I suppi&e," said I. "Yes; that was Clarence," Mrs. Graves responded. "He was working In a machine shop In Boston before ho came up here. I didn't know how ho would do, but there was nobody else In the family whom p wo could trust. Clarence had had a.' good education, and I remembered that he had tried to get work on a newspaper at one time. Then, too, Bertram had once had a let ter from him, and he said It 'was a mas teiplece." "He wanted to borrow a hundred dol lars," said Grandfather Graves. "Wp got him up here as soon as we could," the lady contlnuei', without noticing the Interruption, "and I've been paying his twenty-flvs dollars a week ever since. He's written a power of stories In the last nine months. He tooK naturally to Bertram's handwrit ing, and besides we got him a type- cussing the sam-5 tubje:t for the benel't of the church at Corinth. KINGDOM. Tho progress In the thought of tho apostle led him, at this point, to a mora comprehensive as well as accurate view of the Chilstlan religion. He would have the Homan bellovcrs know that there wera many weightier matters than thoquestlons of meat and drink aoout which they had contended (verso 17). They were members of the kingdom of QoJ, which John tho Baptist proclaimed (Matt. Ill, 2), which Jesus came to estub llsl. (Matt. Iv, 23), and which HIb follow ers ought to promoto (Matt, vl, 10). That kingdom was ono of righteousness ob tained by faith, and peaco and Joy re sulting (Itoin. v, 1-2). Men are to bo ac cepted on that ground (verso IS), and not becauso of nny mere abstinence from food, or any performance of a rite. To lift up the thought to this grander con ception and make the people understand tho nature of the very system which they had adopted was calculated to deliver them from disputes, and to enlist thtm in nn earnest seeking ufter that which was essential. UN1TV. Tho three closing verses of the lesson (19. 20. 21) form an eatnesl plea for unity, based on tho Ideas previously ndvanccd. "Let us, therefore," Paul says, nn exhortation following an argument. He tlrst of all commends those things which mnko for ueace and tho things which edify, things that aro usually con Joined, bccaiso divisions enfeeble tho chuich nnd hurt the Individuals compos ing It. (James 111, 16). He does not spe cify particular things, but offers a regu lating principle. That principle acts on both sides In any controversy and demands a change of temper and action. The apos tle, however, diems it wise to reiterate tho teaching on charity, given In verse 1G, as a corollary of the principle. Tho man whose conscience does not condemn him must regard his weaker brother. The stiong must always yield. (Gal. vl, 2). It Is good, Christ-like nnd beautiful, to Indulge In no practice, however Innocent, whereby another Is offended. The very object of the church Is to Join the weak and the strong for tho Eveclal benefit of the former. (Rom. xv, 1), nraPLECTIONS.-Tho substance of our lesson may bo briefly set forth In these prccepth: 1, No Christian should con demn another because God Is the Judge of all, and all are- to nnswe- to Him alone; 2. No man Is thereby licensed to act lu dcpur.dent of hi brother, but Is obligated soto llvo 08 to avoid Judgment; 3. Outward conduct Is good or bad according to the notlvo that prompts it, but as men can not seo tho motive they are disqualified for proper Judgment; i. Tho Christian church Is not a socloty for finding fault with m6n but tho kingdom of God, seek ing righteousness, peace and holy Joy; 5. They only will bo acceptable to God and approved foy men who serve this kingdom according to Us true spirit; 0. Labor for the peace of the church and the upbuild ing of Its members; 7, Though all things aro In themselves pure, man must keep their ccnselenco clean; 8. Tho strong should deny themselves whatever tends to, mako otrera weak, or turn them away from Christ. These are all high truths distinctively Christian, deserving our auidy and practice. writer, which has helped him a good deal." At this moment I heard a peculiarly hollow nnd mournful groan. Turning quickly I perceived Clarence Graves, who had softly stepped out upon tho veranda. Ills hnlr was In that disor der which seemed natural to It, and I observed that a spot upon tho right side of his head was nearly bald. As my eye rested upon the spot, he rubbed It vylth a despairing gesture that seemed to bo habitual with him. "I wish you'd left me In Boston," he cried out to Mrs, Graves. "I wish I was working In a machine shop at a dollar a day. Whnt had I done, that the Lord should mako a writer out of me?" "Tell mo, my young friend," said I, "was It you whom I heard groaning In the north room last night?" "Of course It was," he answered. "Do I ever do anything else but groan? I was Just finishing a story. But what's tho use? One's no sooner done than another's begun." "It Is the curso of literature," said I. "By the way, that was a clever letter you wrote to me." "Oh, that was nothing," he rejoined. "Forgery is easy enough, and it don't He on my conscience. But stories" He ended the sentence with a groan "And now you know all," said Mrs. Graves. "Oh, pleasa don't tell on us!" cried Mrs. Dyer. "If you do we shnll all go to the poor house," added Grandfather Graves. "Do not be alarmed," I hastened to say. "Far be It from mo to Interfere with your commercial arrangements. As I am In tha business myself, It would be distinctly unprofessional. Otherwise, the case has no moral as pect. I have never held It wrong to deceli'v tho public, and to cheat a pub lisher Is a virtue. I shall simply rec ommend some additional precautions, and then I shall say no more on that matter. But there is a nolnt unon which I must Insist. Miss Emily Dyer is a most deserving young woman, and" "You, would recommend an allow ance, I suppose?" said Mrs. Graves. "Shall we say fifty dollars a week?" I suggested. Grandfather Graves groaned and Mrs. Graves protested, but what was the use? I had them In my power. The contiact was drawn up and signed. I call It the Treaty of. Dyer's Farm. There Is a stipulation that an affection ate letter shall accompany each remit tance; and I may sav here that the terms of the agreement are being faith fully fulfilled. Emily, of course, Is not in the secret. Indeed, she knows noth ing of my connection with her good for tune. She will marry the lanky young artist soon, and may Providence make him worthy of her. I have not visited the farm again, but I keep an eye on curren: fiction, anA Bertram Dyers' name continues to hold Its place. Some of his stories strike me as a bit mechanical, but per haps If I did not know that Clarence had worked In a machine shop I should not remark It. After all, criticism is so much affected by a knowledge of a writer's personality! It Is very unfor tunate that writers are not known simply by numbers.1 Their portraits and biographies might be kept at head quarters, but they oughtn't to get Into the public prints. That is an offense to Art, which I always write with a cOpltal letter, ' THE END. Courageous. "No doubt about it men aro braver than they used to be," "How do jou mako that out?"

Tor romo littlo tlmo Jlhs Watrous had no drsire to cat nnd com plnlucd of a fecllnc of extreme lassitude. This wns followed br sevcro pains In tho head. Tor llirco weeks the young lady was nearly crazed with a Icrrlblo headache and notlilmr- could ho procured to rIvo her relief. Finally, after trying numerous remedies, it physician was called and bejjan treating tho patient. Ho Kali! the trouble was caused by Impoverished blood, but after toveral ueeks of his treatment tho young lady's condition had not Improved nnd the parents decided to procure tho services of another physician.
