Maxwell came at once to the He ipoka of Gray's work and of WW. "De Fust church parson. We'vo got do whole high tono swell outlit to night " "Did yon say Fust church t I know him My landlord haa got a front pew up there," said another voice, and there was a laugh, for tho speaker was a sa loon keeper. "T'row out de life line 'cross do dark wave I" began a drunken man near by, singing in such an unconscious imita tion of a local traveling singer's nasal tone that roars of laughter and jeers of approval rose around him. Tho people in the tent turned in the direction of the disturbanca There were shouts of "Put him out!" "Give the Fust church a chancel" "Song, song I Give na an other song!" Henry Maxwell stood up, and a great wave of actual terror went over him. This waa not like preaching to the well dressed, respectable, good mannered people on the boulevard He began to speak, but the confusion increased. Gray went down into the crowd, but did not seem able to qnlet it. Henry Maxwell raised his arm and his voice. The crowd in the tent began to pay some attention, bnt the noise on the outside increased. In a few minutes the audience was beyond Max well's control. He turned to Rachel with a aad smile "Sing something, Miss Winslow. They will listen to you," he said and then sat down and put his face in his hands. It waa Rachel's opportunity, and she waa folly eqnal to it Virginia waa at the organ, and Rachel asked her to play a few notes of the hymn 1 Saviour, I follow on. Guided l th. Beting not yet tha hand That leadeth BM, Hushed lie my heart and (till; Fear I no further III; Only to meet thy will My will ahall be. Rachel had not sung the first line be fore the people in the tent were all turned toward her, hushed and rever ent Before she had finished the verse the Rectangle was subdued and tamed. It lay like some wild beast at her feet, and she song it into harmlessnesa, Ah I What were the flippant, perfumed, critical audiences in concert halls com pared with this dirty, drunken, impure, degraded, besotted humanity that trem bled and wept and grew strangely, sad ly thoughtful under the touch of the divine ministry of this beautiful young woman ? Henry Maxwell as he raised his head and saw the transformed mob had a glimpse of something that Jesus would probably do with a voice like Rachel Winslow's. Jusper ChaBe sat with his eyes on the singer, and his greatest longing as an ambitious author was swallowed up in the thought of what Rachel Winslow's love might some time mean to him. And over in the shadow outside stood the last person any one might have expected to see at a gospel tent service, Rollin Page, who, jostled on every aide by rough men and women, who stared at the swell in the fine clothes, seemed careless of his sur roundings and at the same time evi dently swayed by the power that Rachel possessed. He had just come over from the club. Neither Rachel nor Virginia taw him that night The song was over. Henry Maxwell rose again. This time he felt calm. What would Jesus do T He spoke as he thought once he never could. Who were these neoule? Thev were immortal souls. What waa Christianity T A call ing of sinners, not the righteous, to re pentance. How would Jesus speak T What would he say T He could not tell all that his message would include, but he felt sure of a part of it, and in that certainty he spoke on. Never before had he folt "compassion for the multi- tuda" What had the multitude been to him during his ten years in the First church but a vague, dangerous, dirty, troublesome factor in society, outside of the church and his reach ; an element that caused him occasionally an un pleasant feeling of conscience ; a factor in Raymond that waa talked about at associations as the "masses" in papers written by the brethren in attempts to show why the "masses f were not being reached. But tonight as he faced the "masses" he asked himself whether, Mar all, this was not just about such a multitude as Jesus faced oftenest, and he felt the genuine emotion of lore for a crowd which is one of the bast iadi Ohio Ohio, Nerv- Mr. P.

To love a multitude of sinners is distinctly a Christlike qnnliry. When the meeting closed, tin ro was no special Interest shown. The people rapidly melted away from the tent, and tho saloons, which had boon experienC' ing n dull Mason while the meeting progressed, again drove a thriving trade The Itectanglo, Hl4 if to niakn up for lost V..ja, started in with vigor on its usual night life of debauch.

Henry Maxwell suddenly paused. His I wife looked up from some work sho ' was doing. He was rending something with the utmost interest. "Listen to this, Mary," he said after ! a moment, while his voice trembled "This morning Alexander Powers, 1 superintendent of tho L. and T. R.

"I never realized that Raymond had such a festering sore It does not seem possible that this is a city full of Christian disciples." He paused and then continued 1 "Do you think any one can ever re move this great curse of the saloon f Why don't we all act together against the traffic? What would Jnsns dot Would he keep silent? Would he vote to license these causes of crime and death?" Henry Maxwell was talking to him self moro than to tho others. He re membered that he had always voted for license, and so hud nearly all of his church members. What won hi Jesus do? Could ho answer that question 1 Would Josus preach and act against the saloon if ho lived today? How would he preach and act ? Suppose It was not popular to preach against license.

Or suppose tho church mem bers owned property where tho saloons stood. What then ? Ho knew that these 1 were tho facts In Raymond. hut would Joans do ? He went up into his study the next morning with thot question only partly answered. He thought of it all day. He was still thinking of it and reaching certain real conclusions when The Evening News came. His wife brought it up and sat down a few minutes while he read it to hor. The Evening News was at present the most sensutlonal paper in Raymond That is to say, it was being lited in such a remarkable fashion that its sub scribers had never been so excitisl over a newspaper before. First they had no- need the absence of tho prizefight, and gradually it began to dawn uixin them that Tho News no longer printed ac counts of crime with detailed descrip- j tions or scandals in private life. Then thev noticed that tho advertisements of liquor and tobacco were being dropped, together with certain other advertise ments of a questionable character. The discontinuance of tho Sunday paper caused the greatest comment of all, and now the character of the editorials was creating tho greatest excitement A quotation from tho Monday paper of this week will show what Edward Nor man was doing to keep his promise Tho editorial was hoadod: "THE MORAL SID2C OF POLITICAX. QTJES- Bon "The editor of Tho News has always advocated the principles of the groat political party at present in power and has therefore discussed all political questions from a standpoint of expedi ency or of belief in the party as opposed to other organisations. Hereaftor, to be perfectly honest with all our read ers, the editor will present and discuss political ysvsttons froai the standpoint of right tiA wrong. In other words, the first question will not be, 'Is it in the interest of our party ?' or 'Ia it ac cording to the principles laid down by the party ?' bnt the question first asked will be, 'Is this measure in accordance with the spirit and teachings of Jesus as the author of the greatest standard of life known to men?' That is, to be perfectly plain, the moral side of every political question will be considered, its most important side, and the ground consistently withhold tho information he possesses against the road He has placed his evidence against tho com pany in the hands of the commission. and it la now for them to take action upon it "The News wishes to express itself on this action of Mr. Powers. In the first place, he has nothing to gain by it He has lost a valuable place volun tarily when by keeping silent he might have retained it In the second place. we belii-ve his action ought to receive the approval of all thoughtful, houost citizens who believe in seeing law obeyed and lawbreakers brought to jus tice. In a case like this, where evidence against a railroad company is generally . understood to tie almost impossible t obtain, it is the general belief that tho officers of the road are often In posses sion of criminating facts, but do not consider it to bo any of their business , to inform tho authorities that tho law I is being defied "The entire resnlt of this evasion of j responsibility on tho part of those who are riwiponsihlo Is demoralizing to every young man connected with tho road Tho iKlitor of The News rii-alls tho statement made by a prominent rail road official in this city a little while ago that nearly every clerk in a certain department of tho road who understood how large sums of money were made by shrewd violations of the interstate com merce law was ready to admiro the I shrewdness with which it was done and declared that they would all do tho same thing if they wore high enongh in railroud circles to attempt it This was actually said in one of the general of fices of a great western railroad, to tho author's knowledge. "It is not necessary to say that such a condition of business is destructive to all the nobler and higher standards of conduct, and no young man can live in such an atmosphere of nnpnnishtd dishonesty and lawlessness without wrecking bis character. "In our judgment Mr. Powers did tho only thing that a Christian man can do. He has rendered brave and use ful service to tho state and the geuerul The Maid and the Miracle Miss Lucy Tucker, the daughter of a prominent farmer of Versailles, Ind., was the victim of nervous prostration. Most of the time she waa confined to bed, and was on the verge of St. Vitus' dance. It was a pitiful case which medical science failed to conquer. Finally a doctor prescribed Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. Her lather said: "We began giving the pills nt once, and the next day we could see a change for the better in her.

"What aru you going to dot" Henry Maxwell asked after they had talked over the facts in the case and considered them well "You mean another position T I have no plana yet I can go back to my old work as a telegraph operator.

Henry Maxwell did not need to ask him how his wife and daughter feJt He knew will enough that the su perintendent had sufTcnd deepest at that iK'int. "There is one matter I wish you would see to," said Powers after awhile, "and Unit is the work begun at the sliojis. So far as I know, tho com pany will not object to that going right on. It is one ot the contradictli ms of the railroad world that the Y. M.

Before ho went away ho and the suierintendent had a prayer together, and they parted with that silent hand grasp that seemed to them like a new token of their Chris tian discipleship and fellowship. Tho pastor of tho First church went home stirred deeply by tho events of public. It is not always an easy matter I Gradually tho truth was MUIwotfe4lofodown cation a reachex ever baa that bete m.WmtMam to determine the relations that exist be tween tho individual citizen and his fixed duty to the public. In this case there is no doubt in our mind that the step which Mr. Powers has taken com mends itself to every man who believes in law and its enforcement There are times when the individual must act for the people in ways that will mean sac rifice and loss to him of tho gravest character. Mr. Powers will be misun derstood and misrepresented, but there is no question that his course will be approved by every citisen who wishes to see the greatest corporations as well as the weakest individual subject to the tame law. Mr. Powers has done all that a loyal, patriotic citisen could do. II how remains for the commission to act upon his evidence, which, we under stand, is overwhelming proof of the lawlessness of the L, and T. Let the law be enforced, do matter who the persona may be who have been guilty. " Henry Maxwell finished reading and dropped the paper. "I must go and aee Powers. This ia the result of his promise." He rose, and as he waa going out his wife said: "Do you think, Henry, that Jesus would lwvedonejhatr' growing upon him that the pledge to do as Jesus would was working out a revolution in his parish and throughout the city. Every day added to the serious results of olsdience to that pledge. Henry Maxwell did not pretend to see the end He was, in fact, only now at the very beginning of events that were destined to change tho history of hun dreds of families, not only in Raymond, but throughout the entire country. As he thought of Edward Norman and Rachel and Mr. Powers and of the re sults that had already come from their actions he could not help a feeling of intense interest in tho probable effect if all the persons in the First church who had made the pledge faithfully kept it Would they all keep it, or would somo of them turn back when the cross be came too heavy ? He was asking this question the next morning as he sat in his study when the president of the Endeavor society called to see him. "I suppose I ought not to trouble you with my case," said young Morris, coming at once to his errand, "but I thought, Mr. Maxwell, that you might adrife me a little." TO BE CONTINUED.
