"The decision dees not lay In your
hands. Doctor Uoyd." drawled a nasal
volco with an unconcealed kneer In it.
It was cleanshaven old Joseph G.
Clark, who was not disturbed, In to
much as the parting of one hair, by all
the adverse criticism of him which
had filled column upon column of the
dally press for the past few days. "The
ret tor has never, In the history of
Market Sguare church, been given the
control of Its finances. He hus In
variably been hired to preach the goa
pel." Sargent, Cunningham, Manning, and
even Van Tlocn looked at Clark In
surprise. Ho was not given to open
reproof. C'hUholm manifested no as
tonishment. He sat quietly in his i
chair, his fingers Idly drumming oti
the edge of tho tuhlc, but his mutton
chop beard was pink from the red
dening of the skin beneath.
"The present rector of Market
Square church means to have a voice
In Its di liberations to long as he is
'he rector!" announced that young
man emphatically, nnd Jim Sargent
looked up at him with a Jerk of his
head. Itev. Smith Itoyd was pale this
afternoon, but there was a FonKthin
shining through his pallor which
made the face alive; and the some
thing was not temper. Rufus Man
nlnir. clasping his silviry beard with a
firm grip, smiled encouragingly Bt the
tall young orator. "I have fald that
I have. 0 far as I am concerned, re
linquished the building of the cathe
dral." the rector went on. "For this
'here are two reas. ns. The llrst Is
that Its building will brin? us farther
away from the very purpose for which
:he church was founded; the worship
of God with an humble ond a contrite
heart! I om ready to confers that I
found, on rigid self-analysis, my lead
mi motive in urging the building o!
tho new cathedral to h ive been van
ity. I am also ready to confess, on
behalf of my contregation end vestry,
that their leading motive was vanity!'
"Ycu hac no authority to sp'ak for
nit." Interrupted Chisholm, bis mut
ton chops now red.
"Splendor is r.o longer the exclusive
property of r llicn." returned the rec
tor, paying no attention to the Inter
rupticn. "If I thought, however, that
the building of that ci'thedral would
promote the rprcad of the gospel In
a dearie rrminensurate with the out
lay, I would still be ojpo'ed to the
erection of the building; for the
money does not belong to us!"
"Go right on and develop our con
science," approved Manning, smiling
up at the old w iilnut-beann d rilling
with Its tarved cherub brackets.
"The money belongs to Vedder
court.' d.il.irtd the rector; "to the
distorted moral cripples which Mar

dent of commerce, has taken under

to the moral, which is: Whals the

Ua'.klng down the street the othr

Their faces wen 'ainl'lnr. and we
said "Good evening." They stared,
but did not answ x and we nmve I
rapidly on. "ilimhlnt pd we neard

wo do, for the reason that It would
soli his soul as a gentleman; and it Is
a shuneful thing that a gentleman
should have liner ethics than a Chris

a coward about this matter! It was
because 1 wished to be rid of our re
sponsibility In Vedder court that 1
llr.t urged the conversion of that
property Into a cathedral. We can
not rid ourselves of the respontdbility
of Vedder court! If It were possible
for a church to be sent to hell, Mar
ket Square church would bo eternally
damned if It took this added guilt upon
It!"
"This talk Is absurd." declared
Chlbholm. "The city hus taken Ved
der court away from us."
"Only the property," quickly cor
rected Rufus Manning, turning to
Chlsholm with sharpness In bis deep
blue eyes. "If you will remember. I
told you this sano thing before Doc
tor Iioyd came to us. I have waited
ever Flnco his arrival for him to de
velop (o this point, and I wish to an
nounce myself as solidly supporting
his views."
"Your own will not bear Inspec
tion!" charged Clark, turning to Man
ning with a scowl.
"I'll range up at the Judgment seat
with you!" flumed Manning. "We're
both old enough to think about that!"
. Joseph G. Clark Jumped to his feet
and. leaning across the table, shook a
thin fore:inger nt Manning.
"I have been attacked enough on the
point of my moral standing!" he de
clared, his hlgh-tltched nasal voice
quavering with an anger he had held
below the exclosive point during the
most of his life. "I can stand the at
tacks of a Fenaatlonal press, but when
spiteful criticism follows me Into my
own vestry, almost In the Facred
fhadow of the altar Itself. I am com
pelled to protest! I wish to sta'e to
this vestry, once and for ell. that m
moral status is above reproach, and
that my conduct has been such as to
receive the commendation of my Ma
ker! Ptcause It has pleased Dlv!ae
Providence to place In my hands the
distribution of the grain of the fields, I
am constantly subject to tho attacks
of envy and malice! It has gone so
far that I. last night, received from
Rev. Smith Uoyd. a request to resign
from this vestry!" He paused !n tri
umph on that, as If he had made
against I'.cv Smith Eoyd a charge of
such ghastly Infrmy that the young
rector must shrlvM before his eyes.
"I have led a blameless life! I huve
never tmoked nor drunk! I have paid
every penny I ever owed and fullilled
every promise I ever made. I have
obeyed the gospel nnd partaken of the
sacraments, and the Divine Being has
rewarded me abundantly! Hp has
chosrn me. because of my faithful
tteward-'hlp. to gather the food of
earth from Its sources and feed It to
the mcuths of the hungry; and I shall
not depart from my stewardship In
this church, because I am here, as I
am everywhere, by the will of God!"
Perhaps V. T. Chlsholm was not
shocked by this blasphemy, but the
dismay of It 6at on every other face,
evi n on that of Nicholas Van Picon,
who wps compelled to dig deep to lind
bis ethics.
"cu Infernal old thief!" wondered
Manning, recovering from his amaze-
'mint. "Was It Divine Providence
which directed you to devise the
scheme whereby the railroads paid
you two dollars rebate on every car
of wheat you shipped, and a dollar
bonus on every car of wheat your com
pe titers shipped? I could give you a
string of sins as long as the catechism
and ycu dare not deny one of them
because 1 can prove them on you! And
yet you huve the effrontery to say
that a Divine Providence would estab
lish you In your monopoly, by such
scoundrelly means as you have risen
to become the greatest dispenser of
se lf-advertising charities In the world!
You prgpose to ride Into heaven on
your universities and ypur libraries
and on the fact that you never smoked
nor drank nor swore nor gambled,
but when you come face to face wiih
this horrible new god you have cre
ated, a deity who would permit you
to attain wealth by the vile methods
you have used, you will find him with
a pltchlork In his hands! I am glad
that Doctor Uoyd. though knowing
your vindictive record, has had brav
ery em.u'ih to demand your resigna
tion from this vestry! 1 hope be re
ceives It!"
Joseph O Clark had remained
standing, and his head shook, as with
palty. while he liste ned to the charge
ho ran speak to everybody whether
he s met em or not."
Fate so ordered It that ere our ears
had reused tc tingle we tpvt three
other youn? women, strolling In the
same direction as the former thre.i.
And. mindful of our regretluble break,
we scanned them closely and derided
that we did not know them. Therefore
we passed them as If they had been

trd P. hid been quite necessary for
him to restrain his passions through
out his life .
"Ycu will go first!" he shouted at
Manning. "I am Impregnable; but
you huve no business on this vestry!
You can be removed at any time an
examination Is ordered, for 1 have
heard you, we have all heard you,
deny the Immaculate conception, and
thereby the divinity of Christ, In
whom alone there la salvation!"
A hush like death fell on the vestry.
Rev. Smith Boyd waa the first to
treak the ghastly silence.
"Gentlemen." Eald ho, "I do not
think that we are In a mood today for
further discussion. 1 suggest that wt
adjourn."
His voice seemed to distract the at
tention of Clark from Manning at
whom be had been glowering. He
turned on Rev. Smith Doyd the re
mainder of the wrath which marked
his first break into senility.
"As for you!" he snarled, "you will
keep your fingers out of matters which
do not concern youl You were hired
to preach the gospel, and you will con
fine your attention to that occupation,
preaching Just what you find sanc
tioned In this book; nothing more,
nothing less!" and taking a small vol
ume which lay on the table, he tossed
it In front of F.ev. Smith Boyd.
It was the Book of Common Prayer,
containing, In the last pages, the ar
ticles of Faith.
Clark seized his hat and coat, and
strode out of the door, followed by the
red faced Chlsholm, who had also been
asked to resign. Nicholas Van Ploon
rose, and shook hands wkh Rev. Smith
Boyd.
"Sargent has told me about your
plan for the new tenements," he stat
ed. "I am Id favor of buying the
property."
"We'll swing It for you. Boyd,"
promised Jim Sargent. "I've been
talking with some of the other mem
bers, and they seem to favor the Idea
that the oew Vedder court will be a
great monument. There'll be no such
magnificent charity In the world, and
no such Impressive sacrifice as giving
up that cathedral! I think Cunning
ham will be with us, wbeu It comes to
a vote."
"Certainly." Interposed Nicholas Van
Ploon. "We don't need to make any
profit from those tenements. The nor
mal Increase In ground value will be
enough."
"Yes," said Cunningham slowly. "1
am heartily In favor of the proposi
ti: ."
"Coming along, doctor?" Invited
Manning, going for his coat and nat.
"No, I think not,", decided Rev.
Smith Eoyd quietly.
He was sitting at the edge of the
table facing the Good Shepherd, at
the edge of whoso robe still Bpnrklcd 1
crystalline light, and in his two hands
he thoughtfully held the i3ock of Com
mon Prayer.
ChAPTErt XXX.
Hand In Hand.
Rev. Smith Boyd walked slowly out
Into the dim church, with the little vol
time In his hand. The afternoon sun
had sunk so low that the Illumination
from the stained glass windows was
cut off by the near buildings, and the
patches of ruby and of sapphire of
emerald and of topaz, glowed now near
the tops of the slender columns, or
mellowed the dusky spaces up amid
the arches.
It was hushed and silent there, de
serted, and far from the thoughts of
men. The young rector walked slowly
up l?ie aisle to a pew in the corner
near the main entrance, and sat down,
still with the little Book of Common
Prayer in his hand, and, In the book
the Articles of Religion. From them
alone must he preach; nothing more
and nothing less. That was the duty
for which be wns hired. His own mind,
his own intelligence, the reason and
the spirit and the soul which God had
given him were for no other use than
the clever support of the things which
were printed here And who had for
mulated these articles? Men; men
like himself.
Rev. Smith Doyd suddenly made the
discovery that he was not preaching
God! He was preaching the church
and Its creed!
Startlcid, now, he went through the
thirty-nine Articles of Religion, one by
one, slowly, thoughtfully, and with a
quickened conscience. Reason knocked
at the door or Faith, and entered; but
It did not drive out Faith. They sat
side by side, but each gave something
to the other. No, rather, Reason
stripped the mask from Faith, tore
away the disguising cloak, and dis
played her in all her simple beauty,
sweet and gentle and helpful What
was the faith he had been called upon
to teach? Faith In the thirty-nine Ar
tides of Religion! This hud been clev
erly substituted by the organizers of
an ensy profession, lor faith in God
which latter was too simple of compre
hension for the purposes of any or
ganization. For a long time Rev. Smith Boyd sat
In the corner pew, and when he liael
closed the book, all that bad been lie
hind the wall of his mind came' nut
WANTED TO SHOW LOYALTY

L. P. Jacks tells this well-authenticated
story In the Yale Review. It
comes from o civil officer m a remote
part of Burma.
One eurly morning not long ngn
this officer fount, an ancient Hurniuii
squatting on his heels In front ol t lie j
I ungalow whom he recognized as the
head man f a village distant 5U miles
away in the bills.
Questioned hy the otllcer as to the
purpose for which he had undertaken

the old man replied as follows.
"Thokin imasleri, mv villagers

Maker of my conscience; my Frleud

For a moment the rector stood, tall
and erect, then be stretched forth his
arms:
"I know that my Redeemer llvetbl"
he said, and sank to his knees.

and on the third day arose to ascend
unto heaven. Reason could not de
stroy that citadel In a man born to the
necessity of faith! Man must believe
some one thing. If it was as easy, as
he had once set forth, to believe In the
biblical account of the creation of the
world as to believe In a pre-exlstenl
chaos, out of which cvoluted the spirit
of lire, and all its marvels of growing
trees and flying birds and reasoning
men, it was as easy to go one step
rurther, and add the son to the father
and to the holy ghost! Even chaos
must have been created!
Fully satisfied, Rev. Smith Boyd
walked Into the vestry, and wrote his
resignation fro the rectorship of Mar
ket Square church, for he could no
longer teach, and preach, faith In the
thirty-nine articles of religion! With
in his grasp he had held a position f t

he knew that he was self-absolved
from the charge of using his con
science as a ladder of ambition! If
personal vanity had entered Into his
desire to build the new cathedral. It
had been Incidental, not fundamental
It made hlin profoundly happy to know
this with posltlveness.
He called up the house of Jim Sar
gent, and asked tor Call.
"Come over," he Invited her. I
want to see you very much, I'm In the
church. Come In through the vestry."
"All right," was the cheerful reply.
"I'll bo there In 'a minute."
He had been very sly! He was tre
mendously pleased with himself! He
had kept out of his voice all the long
ing, and all the exultation, and all the
love! He would not trust even one
vibration olebis secret to a cold tele
phone wire!
He set the door of the vestry open
wide. Within the church, the organist
had conquered that b.iflllng run in the
mfghty prelude of Bach, and the great
dim spaces up amid the arches were
pulsing In ecstasy with the tremendous
harmony. Outside, upon the back
ground of the celestial strain, there
rose a fluttering, a twittering, a coo
ing. The doves or spring had returned
to the vestry yard.
Just a moment and Gall appeared,
poised In the doorway, with a filmy
pink scarf about ber shoulders, a aim
pie frocfc of delicate gray upon her
slender figure, her brown hair waving
about her oval face, a fuint flush upon
her cheeks, her brown eyes sparkling
her red lips smiling up at him.
He bad intended to tell her much
but Instead, he folded her In his arms
and she nestled there, content. For a
long, happy moment they stood, lost to
the world of thought; and then she
looked up at him, and luughed.
"1 knew It from your voice, she

him was no doubt, no quandary, no
struggle between faith and disbelief.
"I see my way clearly," he smiled
down at her; "and there are no thorns
to cut for me. I shall never change."
"And we shall walk band Iu hand
about the greatest work In the world,"
she softly reminded him, and there
were tears In her eyea. "But what
work shall that be, Ted?" She looked
up e.t him for guidance, now.
"lo shed Into other lives some of
the beauty which blossoms In our
own " he replied, walking with her In
to t'..j grent dim nave, where the
shadow ctlll qulvered with the under
echoes or the mighty Bach prelude. "I
have been thinking much of the many
things you have said to me," he told
heir, "and particularly of tho need, not
for a new religion, but for a re-birth
of the old; that same new Impulse to
wards the batter and the higher llfo
r-hlcli Christ brought Into the world I
have been thinking on the mission of
him, and it was the very mission to
the need of which you have held so
firmly. He came to clear away the
thorns of creed which bad grown up
between the human heart and God!
The brambles have grown again. The
time is almost ripe, Gull, for a new
quickening of the spirit; for the sec
ond coming."
She glanced at blm, startled.
"For a new voice In the wilderness,"
she wondered.
"Not yet," he answered. "We have
signs In the hearts of men, for there Is
a great awakening of tho public con
science throughout tho world; but be
fore the day of harvest arrives, we
must have a sign In the sky. No great
spiritual revival has ever swept the
world without Its attendant supernat
ural phenomena, for mysticism Is a
part of religion, and will be to the end
of time. Reason, by the very nature
of Itself, realizes its own limitations,
and demands something beyond its un
derstanding upon which to hang Its
faith. It Is the need of faith which
distinguishes the soul from the mind."
"A sign," mused Gall, her eyes aglow
with the majesty of the thought.
"It will come," he assured her, with
the calm prescience of prophecy It
self. "As uo great spiritual revival has
ever swept the world without Its at
tendant supernatural phenomena, so no
great spiritual revival has ever swept
the world without Its concreted symbol
which men might wear upon their
breasts. The cross! What shall be Its
successor? A ball of fire in the sky?
Who knows! If that symbol of man's
spiritual rejuvenation, of his renewed
nearness to Cod, were, In reality, a
bail or lire. Oail, 1 would hold it up In
the jdght of ail mankind though It
shriveled my arm!"
The thin ircuie note sioio out oi iue
organ loft, pulsing Its timid way among
tho high, dim arches, as If seeking a
lodgment where It might fasten its
tiny thread of harmony, and grow luto
a song of new glory, tho glory which
had been born thnt day In the two
earnest hearts beneath in the avenue
of slender columns. The soft light
Irom one of the clerestory windows
flooded in on the compasslonattj son of
man above the altar, ine very air
seemed to vibrate with the new In
spiration which had been voiced In the
old Market Square church. Gall gazed
up at Smith Boyd, with the firBt con
tent her heart had ever known; con
tent iu which there was both earnest
ness nnd serenity, to replace all her
groping. He met her gaze with eyes
In which there glowed the endless love
whlrh It Is beyond the power of speech
to tell. There w as a moment of ecstasy,
of complete understanding, of the per
fect, unity which should last through
out their lives. In that harmony, they
walked from the canopy of dim arches,
out through the vestry, and beneuth
the door above which perched the two
gray doves cooing. For an Instant Gail

and a wlstfulness cume Into her eyes

CANADA'S ' PLANS
FOR 11 REVEKUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
ation Will Affect Farmars to
a Dsgres Practically
Unnoticeable. .
Bo mony rumors have been circu
lated regarding war taxation Id
Canada that Ihe statement made by
Sir Thomas Wbito, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Govcri.uiont s plan
tor raising war revenue should be giv
en llio widest circulation, bir TboMd
made It clear thut the revenue will be
raised by taxing the prolits of Incor
porated companies whenever those
prolits exceed seven per cent, and the
prohts of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the prolits exceed ton
per cent. On all such excess profits
tbese companies or firms will have to
contribute ono-quarter to tho Guvorn
nient Transportation companies
banks, mining, milling, and other com.
panics will be subject to this taxation,
but lire Insurance companies, and com
panies with loss than fifty thousand
dollars capltsJIzatlon, and companies,
firms, or Individuals engaged In agrl
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part of this taxation. Tht
only othor additional taxation pro
posed Is an Increase of lifty cents a
barrel In the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent a gallon In customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
it will be noticed that tbls taxation
is being applied in such a way that II
does not affect farmers In tbe slight

and ten per cent n others, or clear
prolits borore they have tc pay any
part or this taxation. It will be seen
that the whole policy Is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
cave been muking big profits and are
able to pay it, and to. encourage 'arm
ing and stockralsliig by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
ation. This ought to set at rest every
rumer that the farmer or the farmer a

the war. Advertisement.
