Somewhere

tit on hi hut iiinl gone buck t this seat
1 the stone. The bishop mi thinking
ard.
"H'w long is it siii'- vein had work If"
M wked. nnd the mini bt:tin!iu; up
answered fur thf otlicr.
"More'n six months iince either of
ns did iiuythiiiR to tell of, tfflleu Jon
ronut holding op work. I call it pr itty
wearing kind of a job myeelf, especially
when we put in a night like this one
and don't make nothing."
"Suppose I found good jobi for both
of yon. Would you (jr.it this and begin
nil over?"
"What's the nseV" The man on the
atone ipoke sullenly. "I've reformed a
hundred times. Every time 1 i?n down
r. The devil's begun to foreclose
lready. It's too lata "
' said the bishop, and never be-
most entranced andience had
ha desire for souls burn np in
Strongly. All the time he rat
"tag the remSTKaDie scene lie
0 Lord Jesus, give me the
jeae two for thee! 1 am hum
tirml Give them to me!"
the bishop repeated. "What
I want of yon two men'.' It
1 much matter what I want,
.ants just what I do in this
u two men nreof Infinite value
And then the bishop's won
icmory came to his aid in an
uch as no one else on earth
ion could make under such cir
iceH. He had remembered the
mine in spite of the wonderfully
ars that lay between his coming
muse and the present moment,
ns." hn said, and he yearned
1 men with an unspeakable lonir
them both, "if yon and your
here will ' home with me to
1 will find yon both places of
iblo employment. 1 will believe
n nnd trnst yon. Yon are both
aratively young men. Why should
lose yon? It is a fereat thing to
'ho lovo of the great Father. It is
all thing that I should love yon,
f yon need to feel again that there
ove in the. world you will lielieve
when I say, my brothers, that I lovo
on, nnd in tho name of him who was
rncilied for onr sins I cannot liear to
ee yon miss the glory of the hnmnn
ifo. Come I Bo men I Make another try

od nnd yon and mvself need ever

.orgiven it. The minnto yon ask him to
yon will find that trno. Come! Wo'U
fight it out together, yon two nnd I.
It's worth fighting for. Everlasting life
is. It was the sinner that Christ came
to help. I'll do what I can for you. O
God, give me tho souls of these two
men I"
The bishop broke into n prayer to
God that was n continuation of his ap
peal to the men. His pent up feeling
had 110 other outlet. Before ho had
prayed many moments liurns was sit
ting with his face burled in his bands,
sobbing. Where were his mother's
prayers nowV They were adding to the
power (if the bishop's. And the other
mnn. harder, less moved, without a
previous knowledge of tho bishop, leaned
back Hguinst tho fence, stolid nt first,
but as the prayer went on he was moved
by it. What force of the Holy Spirit
swept over his dolled, brutal, coarsened
life nothing bnt tho eternal records of
tho recording nngel can ever disclose,
but that same sniernatnralpreseneo that
smote Paul on the road to Damascus
and jxmred through Henry Maxwell's
church tho morning he asked disciples
to follow in .lesns' steps nnd bad again
broken irresistibly over the Nazareth
Avenue congregation now manifested
himself in thisfonl corner of the mighty
city and over the natnres of theso two
sinful, sunken men, apparently lost to
all the plendings of conscience and
memory of God. The bishop's prayer
seemed to break open the crnst that had
for years snrronndod theso two men and
hnt them off from divino communica
tion, and they themselves were thor
oughly startled by tho event.
The bishop censed, nnd at first he
himself did not realize what had hap
pened. Neither did the two men. Burns
still sat with his head bowed between
his hands. The man leaning against the
fence looked at the bishop with a face
'in which new emotions of awe, repent
ance, astonishment and a broken gleam
of joy struggled for expression.
The bishop rose.
"Come, my brothers! God is good.
' Yon Shall stay at the settlement tonight,
nnd I will make good my promise ns to
the work."
The two men followed the bishop in
silence. When they reached the settle
ment, it wns after 2 o'clock. The bishop
1 t them in and led them to a room. At
he door he paused a moment His tall,
ommanding figure stood in the door
way, and his pale face, worn with his
recent experiences, was illuminated
with the divine glory.
"Qod bless you, my brothers!" he
said, and, leaving themihis benediction,
he went away.
In the morning he ifmost dreaded to
face the men, bnt the Impression of the
nigbt had not worn away. True to his
promise, the bishop reared work for
them- The janitor at) the settlement
needed an assistant, owing to the growth
of ibe work there. So Burns was given
th nlace. The bishon sreceeded in get-
g his companion a position as driver
- warehouse iray mauufac-
And the CuSy r. stracsBnf ,n
I th m two darkened, t.ninl nun, benn
Lin tuarreVme work of ragen rati'uf.
It was tic aftenooB following thrt
morning when Bnraawaa installed (a
bis new poflitira as aaaifltant janitor
that he was cleaning ff the front steps
I of th" settlement when he panaed a
mom nt Hi;d st'HKl Bp to look about him.
The first th;:: he noticed was a beer
s: :n jnst across the alley. Ee could ill-
I most touch it with his broom from
where he stood, over the itroet Imme
diately opposite were two laiK'e saloons.
; mid a little further down were three
more.
Kndd' n!v the door of the nearest ta-
loon opened, a.i I a nan came otrt. At,
the same time two more went in. A'
stiou- odor of beet Boated up to Darnel
us he stood oil the sli ps of the sct'ile-j
mont. Ho clutched his broom handle!
tight ami began to sweep again. Ild
had one foot on the porch and another
I on the step just 1m IoW. He tool, BOOthei
stop down, still sweeping. The sweat
stood out on his forehead, although the
day was frosty nnd the air (hill. The
; saloon door opened again, and three 0T1
. four men came out A child went in
with a pail and ca ne out a moment
1 later with a quart or beer. The child
went by on the sidewalk- just below him.
and the odor of the be r came up to
him. He toil: another step down, still
sweepirfg desperately. His lingers were
purple as he clutched the handle of the
broom.
Tin n suddenly he pulled himself np
one Step and swept over the spot ll" had
just cleaned.
He then dragged himself
by a tremendous effort back to the floor
of the porch and went over into the cor
ner of it farthest from the saloon and
began to sweep there. "() God," he
cried, "if the bishop would only come
back!" Th" bishop had gone out with
l)r. Bruce somewhere, and there was
no one about the settlement that he
knew.
He swept in th" corner for two or
three minutes. His face was drawn
with the agony of the conflict. Gradu
ally he edged out again toward the steps
and began to go down them. He looked
toward the sidewalk and saw that he
had left one step unswept. The sight
seemed to give him reasonable excuse
for going down there to finish his sweep
ing. He was on the sidewalk now,
sweeping the last step, with his face
toward the settlement and his back
1 turned partly on the saloon ncross the
alley. He swept the step a dozen times.
The sweat rolled over his face and drop
ped down at his feet By degrees he felt
that he was drawn over toward that
end of the step nearest the saloon. He
could smell the Iteer nnd rum now as
the fnmes ioso around him. It was like
the infernal sulphur of the lowest hell,
and yet it dragged him, as by u giant's
hand, nearer its source.
He was down in tho middle of the
sidewalk now, still sweeping. He clear
ed tho space in front of tho settlement
nnd even went out into the gutter and
swerit " He V'-.ff his hat md rub-1
bed his sleeve over his '""e. His lips
were palid, and his te .1 'mttered. He
trembled all over like 1 palsied man
and ataggered hack and forth as if he
were nlready drunk. 'Ai bouI shook
within him.
He had crossed over the littl" piece of
stone flagging that measured the width
of the alley, nnd now he stood in front
of the saloon, looking at the sign and
staring into the window at the pile of
whisky and beer Kittles arranged in a
great pyramid inside. He moistened bis
lips with his tongue and took a step
forward, looking aronnd him stealthily.
The door suddenly opened ngain, nnd
some one came ont. Again the hot,
penetrating smell of the liquor swept
ont into tho cold air, and he took an
other step toward the saloon door,
which hud shut behind tho customer.
As he laid his fingers on the door handle
a tall figure came around tho corner. It
was the bishop.
He seized Burns by the arm and drag
ged him back upon the sidewalk. Tho
frenzied man, now mad for drink,
shrieked out a curse and struck nt tho
bishop savagely. It is doubtful if he
really knew nt first who was snatching
him away from his ruin. The blow fell
npon tho bishop's face and cut a gash
in his cheek.
Ho never uttered a word, bnt over
his face a look of majestic sorrow swept.
He picked Burns up as if ho had been a
child and actually carried him np the
steps into the settlement. He placed
him down in the hall and then shut the
door nnd put his buck against it.
Burns fell on his knees, sobbing and
praying. The bishop stood there, pant
ing with his exertion, although Burns
was a slight built mun nnd had not
been a great weight for one of the
bishop's strength to carry. The bishop
wns moved with unspeakable pity.
"Pray, Bnrns pray as yon never
prayed before ! Nothing else will save
you!"
"OGodl Pray with me! Save me!
Oh, save mo from my hell!" cried
Burns, and the bishop kneeled by him
in the hull and prayed ns only he could.
After thnt they arose, and Burns
went into his room. He came ont of it
that evening like n humble child, and
the bishop went his way, older from
that experience, liearing on his body
the marks of the Lord Jesus. Truly be
was learning something of what it
means to walk in his steps.
Bnt the saloon ! It stood there, and
all the others lined the street liko so
many trapB set for Bnrns. How long
would the man lie able to resist the
amell of the damnable stuff ? The bishop
was ont on the porch. The air of the
whole city seemed to be impregnated
with the odor of beer. "How long, O
God, how longt" the bishop prayad.
Dr. Brnce came ont, and the two
friends talked over Burns and his temp
tation. .
Did you ever make any inquiries
almnt the ownership of this property
adjoining ns?" the bishop asked.
"No; I haven't taken time for it. I
will now if you ft"'-- 'twin-1 be wth

ngaiust the saloon in this grent city 1 It
la us firmly established ns tho churches
or politics. What power can ever re
move if."
"God will do it in time, ns he re
moved slaveiy," replied the bishop
gravely. "Meanwhile I think we have
a right to know who controls this saloon
so near the settlement."
"I'll find ont." said Dr. Bruce.
Two days later be walked into the
business office of one of the members of
Nasureth Avenue church and asked to
see him a few moments. He was cor
dially re. , Ived by bis old parishioner,
who welcomed him into his room and
urged him to take all the time he
wanted.
"I called to see yon about that prop
erty next to the settlement, where the
bishop and myself now are, you know.
I 11111 going to speak plainly, because
life is too short nnd too serious for us
both to have nny foolish hesitation
about this matter. Clayton, do yon
think it is right to rent that property
for a saloon V
Dr. Bruce's question was ns direct
nnd uncompromising as ho had meant
it to be. The effect of it on hiB old pa
rishioner was instantaneous.
The hot blood mounted to the face of
tho man who sat there, a picturo of
business activity in a great city. Then
ho grew pule, dropped his head on his
hands, and when he raised it again Dr.
rirnce wns amaze 1 to see a tear roll
over his parishioner's face.
"Doctor, did you know that I took
the pledge that morning with the oth
ers?" "Yes, I remember."
"Bnt yon never know how I have
been tormented over my failure to keep
it in this instance. That saloon prop
erty has been the temptation of the
devil to me. It is the best paying in
vestment at present that I have, and
yet it was only a minute before yon
came In here that I wus in an agony of
remorse to think how I wus letting I
littlo earthly gain tempt me into denial
of the very Christ 1 had promised to
follow. I know well enough that he
would never rent property for such a
purpose. There is no nend, dear doctor,
for yon to say a word more." Clayton
holdout bis band, und Dr. Bruce grasped
it nnd shook it hard. After a little he
went away, but it was a long time aft
erward that ho learned all the truth
nltont the struggle that Clayton had
known. It whs only a part of the his
tory that belonged to Nazareth Avenne
church since that memorable morning
when tho Holy Spirit sanctioned the
Christlike pledge. Not even the bishop
and Dr. Bruce, moving as they now did
in the very presence itself of divine im
pulses, knew yet that over the whole
sinful city the Spirit was brooding with
mighty eagerness, waiting for the dis
ciples to arise to the call of sacrifice and
suffering, touching hearts long dull and
cold, making business men and money
makers uneasy in their absorption by
tho one grent struggle for more wealth
and stirring through the church as
never in all the city's history the church
had been moved. The bishop and Dr.
Brnce had already seen some wonderful
things in their brief life at the settle
ment. They were to see far greater
soon, more astonishing revelations of
the Divine power than they had sup
posed possible in this age of the world.
Within a month the saloon next the
settlement was closed. The saloon keep
er's lease hnd expired, and Clayton not
only closed the property to the whisky
men, bnt offered the use of the building
to the bishop und Dr. Bruce for the set
tlement work, which had now grown so
large that the building was not suffi
cient for the different industries that
were planned. One of the most impor
tant of these was the pure food depart
ment snggested by Felicia. It was not
a month after Clayton turned the saloon
property over to the settlement that
Felicia found herself installed in the
very room where souls had been lost as
head of a department not only of cook
ing, bnt of a course of housekeeping for
girls who wished to go out to service.
She was now a resident of the settle
ment and found a home with Mrs.
Bruce and the other young women from
the city who were resident. Martha,
the violinist, remained at the place
where the bishop had first discovered
the two girls and came over to the set
tlement certain evenings to give lessons
in music.
"Felicia, tell us your plan in full
t-" h bishop ope evening
When, in a rare interval of rest from
the great pressure of work, he, with Dr.
Brnce and Felicia, had come in from
the other bnilding.
"Well, I have long thonght of the
hired girl problem," said Felicia, with
an air of wisdom that made Mrs. Brnce
smile as she looked at the enthusiastic,
vital beauty of this young girl, trans
formed into a new creature by the
promise she had made to live the ( hri t
like life, "and I have reached certain
conclusions in regard to it that you
men are not yet able to fathom, but
Mrs. Bruce here will understand me.
"We acknowledge onr infancy. Fe
licia. Go on," said the bishop humbly
"Then this is what I propose to do
The old saloon bnilding is large enough
to arrange into a suit of rooms that
will represent an ordinary house. My
plan is to have it so nrrangod and then
tench housekeeping and cooking to girls
who will afterward go ont to service.
The course will be six months long. In
that time I will teach plain cooking,
neatness, quickness and a love of good
work. ' '
"Hold on, Felicia I" the bishop inter
rupted. "This is not an age of mira
cles. "
"Then I will make it one," replied
Felicia. ' 'I know this seems like an im
possibility, but I want to try it I know
a score of girls already who will take
the conrse, nnd if we can once establish
something like an esprit de corps among
the girls themselves I am sure it will
be of great valne to them. I know al
lendy that the pure food is working a
revolution in many families."
"Felicia, if you can accomplish half
of what yon propose to do, it will bless
this whole community," said Mrs.
Brnce. "I don't see how yon can do it,
but I say 'God bl ss you!' ns yon try."
"So say we nil!" cried Dr. Brnc and
the bi' hop, and Felicia plunged into the
working out of her plan with th" en
thnsiasin of her discipieship, which cv
Mry day grew more and more practical
and serviceable.
It must be said here that Felicia's
plan succeeded beyond all expectations.
She developed wonderful powers of per
suasion and taTtght her girls with aston
ishing rapidity to do all sorts of honse
work. In time the graduates of Felicia's
cooking school came to bo prized by
housekeepers all over tho city. But that
is anticipating our story. The history
of the settlement has never yet been
written. When it is, Felicia's part will
be found of very grent importance.
Tho depth of winter fonnd Chicago
presenting, as every great city of the
world presents, to the eyes of Christen
dom that marked contrast between
richos and poverty, Isstween culture,
refinement, lnxnry, ease nnd ignorance,
depravity, destitution nnd the bitter
struggle for bread. It wus n hard win
tor, but a gay winter. Never had there
been such a succession of parties, recep
tions, balls, dinners, banquets, fetes,
gayeties ; never had the opera nnd the
theater been so crowded with fashion
able at"" r""er osA-the beea
snch a a... " a,sPay v,f jewels and fine
dresses an' equipages, I -and, on t?e oth
er hand, p'ver nad the dee .vcM and
suffering 'n cruel, so shiirp, so
murderons never had the winds blown
so chillint ovcr the 'akff and through
the thin Me"8 of tenements in the
neighboring ' tho settlement i never
had the pr'mre for fod and fuel and
clothes D 80 nrKcntiy thrust .iy
against tho people of the?c-it in tnir
mi st imixirtunate and ghastly form. .
Xight after night tho bishfl'P and Dr.
Bnre, with their helpers, wont out and
helped to save men and women and
children from the tofnre of physical
privation. Vast quantities of food and
eli thin; and large snins of money were
donate hy the clnurches, the charitable
societies thn? civic authorities and the
benevolent associations, bnt the personal
touch of the Christian disciple was very
hard to secure for jiersonnl work.
Where was the discipleship that was
obeying the Master's command to go it
self to the snffering and give itself with
its gift, in order to make the gift of
valne in. time to come? The bishop
found his heart sink within him as he
faced this fact more than any other.
Men would give money who would not
think of giving themselves, and the
money they gave did not represent any
real sacrifice because they did not miss
it. They gave what was the easiest to
give, what hurt them the least. Where
did the sacrifice come in 1 Was this fol
lowing Jesus T Was this going with
him all the way T He had been to many
members of his own wealthy and aris
tocratic congregation and was appalled
to find how few men and women of that
luxurious class in the churches would
really suffer any genuine inconvenience
for the sake of suffering humanity.
Is charity the giving of wornont gar
ments ? Is it a ten dollar bill given to a
paid visitor or secretary of some be
nevolent organization in the church?
Shall the man never go and give his
i gift himself? Shall the woman never
deny herself her reception or her party
or her musical and go and actually
touch the foul, sinful sore of diseased
humanity as it festers in the great me
tropolis ? Shall charity be conveniently
and easily done through some organiza
tion ? Is it possible to organize the af-
I fections so that love shall work dis-
! agreeable things by proxy ?
I All this the bishop asked as he plunged
deeper into the sin and sorrow of that
bitter winter. He was bearing his cross
with joy, but he burned and fought
within over the shifting of personal
love by the many upon the hearts of the
few. And still, silently, powerfully, ro
sistleesly, the Holy Spirit was moving
through the church upon even the aris
tocratic, wealthy, ease loving members,
who shunned the terrors of the social
problem aa they would shun a con
tagious disease.
