Philip Strung could not decide what
vas best to do.
The postman that evening had
brought him two letters, mid he hud
just finished reading them, He sat
Willi his hands clasped over Ills knee,
leaning hack in his chair and looking
tut through his study window. He
rvaa evidently thinking very hard, and
the two letters were the cause of It.
Finally be rose, went to his study
door and called down the stairs:
"Sarah, I wish you would come up
here. I want your help."
"All rl'ht. Philip, I'll be up In n min
ute," responded a voice from below,
and very soon the minister's wife came
up stairs Into her husband's study.
"What's the matter?" she said as
she came Into the room. "It must be
something very serious, for you don't

distress. You remember the last time
you called me, you had shut the tassel
of your dressing gown under the lid
of your writing desk, and I had to cut
you loose. You aren't fast anywhere
now, are you?"
Philip smiled quaintly. "Yes, 1 am.
I'm In a strait betwixt two. Let me
read these letters, and you will see."
80 he began at once, and we will
! copy the letters, omitting dates:

I Iter. Thilip Strong:
Iar Sir At a mooting of thf Hilton Olivary
I church, held last vreek, it wan voted unanimously
I to mend you a oatl to become pastor of this
church at a salary of $2,000 a year We trust that
you will find It in accordance with the will of
' the Head of the church to accept this derision on
the part of Calvary church and become its pastor.
The church is in good condition and has the
hearty support of most of the leading fsmilles in
the town. It is the strongest in mrniticrshfp snd
financially of the seven prinrlpsl churches here.
We await your reply, confidently hoping you will
decidt to come to us. We hare tieen without a
settled pastor now for nearly a year, since the
desth of Pr. prown, and we hsve united upon
you as the person most eminently fitted to fill the
pulpit of Cslvsry church. The grace of our Lord
be with you. In behalf of the church,
William Wnrrsa,
Chairman of the Hoard of Trusters.
"What do you think of that, Sa
rah?" naked Philip Strong, as he finish
ed the letter.
"Two thousand dollars Is twice as
much as you arc getting now, Philip."
"What, you mercenary little creature,
do you think of the salary first?"
"If I did not think of it once In

replied the minlnter'a wife, looking ut
him with a smile.
"Oh, well, that may be. Sarah. Hut
let me read you the other letter," he
went on without discussing the salary
matter:
Chapil Hill Church, Elmoaul
11. v. rhiHp Strong:
Dear BrdtritT At a meeting of the Elmdale
Chapel H11 church, held last week Thuradar, It
was unanimuualy voted to eitcml you a call to
become pastor of the church at a salary of 92,000
a year, with two months' vacation, to be selected
at your own convenience. The Chapel Hill church
ts in a prosperous condition, and many of the
members recall your career in the college with
much pleasure. This Is an rsiwcially strong cen
ter for church work, the proiimity of the boys'
academy and the university matting the situation
one of great power to a man who thoroughly un
derstands and enjoys young men, aa we know you
do. We most earnestly hope you will consider
this call ii t as purely formal, but as from the
hearts of the people. We are, very cordially
yours. In behalf of the church,
PaeraMoa WaujisUii
Chairman of the Board of Trustees.
"What do you think of that?" asked
the minister again.

"Now, Rnrah." said the minister, "If
I didb't know what n generous, unself
ish I onrt jrou really have. I should Ret

the salary as If that was the most im

"The salary Is very Important, though.

"It Is a bother Isn't It?" replied Phil
ip, so gravely that his wife laughed
henrtily nt his tone.
"Well, the question Is, what to do
with the letters." resumed the minister.
"Which of the two churches do you
prefer?" naked his wife.
"I would rather go to the Chapel Hill
ehurch ns far as my preference Is con
cerned." "Then why not accept their call. If
that Is the way you feel?"
"Because, w.hlle I should like to go
to Elmdale, I feel aa If I ought to go to

"Now, Philip, I don't see why, In u
choice of this kind, you dou't tlo ns
von feci Inclined to do ami accept the
rail that pleases you most. Why should
ministers be doing what they ought in
stead of what they like'.' You never
please yourself."
"Well. Sarah," replied Philip good
naturedly. "this is the way of it. The
church in iSImdale is in a university
town, The atmosphere of the place Is
scholastic. You know I passed four
years of student life there. With the
exception of the schools, there are tint
a thousand people in tlic village, a
quiet, sleepy, dull, retired, studious
place. I love the memory of it. 1
could g" there as the pastor f the
Elmdale church and preach to an uu-
dlent f college boys eight months ill
the year and to about 80 refined, schol
arly people the rest of the time. I
could indulge my taste for reading and
writing ami enjoy a quiet pastoragi
there to the end of my days."
"Then. Philip, 1 don't see why you
don't reply to their call and tell them
you will accept, and we will move at
once to Elmdale and live and die there.
It Is a beautiful place, and I am sure
we could live very comfortably on the
salary and the vacation. There Is no
vacation mentioned In the Other call."
"But, on the other band," continued
the minister, almost as if he were alone
ami arguing with himself and had not
heard his wife's words, "on the other
hand, there Is Milton, n manufacturing
town of MUMR) people, mostly opera
tives. It Is the center of much that be
longs to the stirring life of the times In
which we live. The labor question Is
there In the lives of those operatives.
There are seven churches of different
denominations, to the best of my
knowledge, all striving nfter popularity
nnd power. There is much hard, stern
work to be done in Milton by the true
church of Christ, to apply his teachings
to men's needs, ami somehow I cannot
help hearing a voice say : Thilip Strong,
go to Milton ami work for Christ.
Abandon your drenm of a parish where
you may indulge your love of scholar
ship In the quiet atmosphere of a uni
versity town ainl plunge Into the hard,
disagreeable, but necessary work of
this age, In the atmosphere of physical
labor, where great questions arc being
discussed and the masses are engross
ed In the terrible struggle for liberty
and home, where physical life thrusts
Itself out Into society, trampling down
the spiritual aud intellectual and de
manding of the church and the preach
er the lighting powers of giants of Cod
to restore In men's souls a more Just
proportion of the value of the life of
man on earth.'
"So, you see, Sarah," the minister
went on after a little pause, "1 wunt to
go to Elmdale, but tho Lord probably
wants me to go to Milton."
Mrs. Strong was silent. She had the
Utmost faith iu her husband that lie
would do exactly what be kuvw he
ought to tlo when once be decided
what it was. Tliilip Strong was also
silent a moment. At last he said,
"Don't you thiuk so, Sarah?"
"I don't see how we can always tell
exactly what the Lord wants us to do.
How can you tell that he doesn't want
you hi go to Elmdale ? Are there not
great opportunities to Influence young
student life In a university town? Will
not some oue go to Elmdale and be
come pastor of that church?"
"No doubt there Is a necessary work
to be done there. The only question Is,
Am 1 the oue to do it or Is the call to
Milton more Imperative? The more I
think of it, the more I am convinced
that 1 must go to Milton."
"Then." said the minister's wife, ris
ing suddenly nnd speaking with a
mock seriousness that her husband
fully understood, "1 don't see why you
called me up here to deckle what you
had evidently settled before you called
mo. Do you consider that fair treat
ment, sir? It will serve you right if
those biscuits I put In the oven when
you called me are fallen us completely
us Babylon. And I will make you cut
half a dozen of them, sir, to punish
you. We cannot nfford to waste any
thing these times."
"What." cried Philip slyly, "not on
$2,000 a year! But I'll eat the biscuits.
They enn't possibly be any worse than
those we had a week nfter we were
married the ones we bought from the
bakery, you remember," Philip added
hastily.
"You saved yourself Just In time,
then," replied the minister's wife. She
came close up to the desk nnd In a dif
ferent tone said, "Philip, you know 1
believe In you, don't you?"
"Yes," said Philip simply. "I nm
sure you do. 1 am Impulsive nnd Im
practical; but. henrt and soul and body
and mind, I simply wnnt to do the will
of God. Is It not so?"
"I know It Is," she said, "and If you
go to Mi Iti in It will be because you
want to do his will more than to please
yourself."
"Yes. Then shall I answer the letter
tonight?"
"Yes. If you have decided, with my
help, of course."
"Of course, you foolish creature, you
know I could not settle It without you.
And as for the biscuits"
"As for the biscuits." said the minis
ter's wife, "they will be settled with
out me, too. If I don't go down and see
to them." She hurried down stairs, and
Philip Strong, with a smile and a sigh,
' took up his pen nnd wrote replies to
! the calls he had received, refusing the
call to Elmdale and accepting the oue
to Milton. And so the strange story of
1 a great hearted man really began.
When he hail tinished writing these
two letters, he wrote another, which
throws so much light on his character
and his purpose iu going to Milton that
we will Insert that iu this story ns be
ing necessary to Its full understanding.
This is the letter:
My bear Alfreil Two yesrs tgo, when we left

other in case either of us left his present parish

suppose when I came that I should lenve so soon,
j but I have just wriltrn s letter whicli means the
Ix-ginning of a new life to me. The Calvary

with the other church on the street. The MatorjT

affairs, and so 1 was at liberty to accept a call
elaewhcrc. 1 must confess the call Iron) Milton
was a surprise to me. 1 have never been there
(you know 1 do not believe in Otadlttitlng for a
place), and so I suppose their chunii committee
tame up here to listen to me. Two years ago
nothing u. : have induced me to go to Milton.
Today it net ins perfectly clear that the Lord says
to me, "Go." Yotl know my natural inclination
is toward a quiet, scholarly pastorate. Well,
Milton is, as you know, a noisy, dirty, manufac
turing town, full of workingmcn, cursed with
saloons and black with coal smoke and unwashed
i humanity. The church is quite strong in member
ship. The "Year Hook" gives it o00 members last
1 year, ami it la composed almost entirely of the
I lealiiiar families in the olacc. What 1 can do in
such a church remains to be seen. My prede
cessor there, Dr. llrown, was a profound sermon
Uer and generally liked, I believe. He was a
man of the old school and maile no attempt, I
understand, to bring the church into contact with
the masses. You wilt say that such a church is a
poor place In which to attempt a different work.
I do not necessarily think so. The church of
(lirist is in itself, 1 believe, a powerful engine to
set in motion against all evil. 1 have great faith
in the membership of almost any church in this
country to accomplish wonderful things for hu
manity, and I am going to Milton with that
faith very strong in me. I feel as if a .cry great
work could be done there. Think of it, Alfredl
A town of 6J,(KK) workingmen, half of them for

town where the police records show an amount of
crime and depravity almost unparalleled in mu
nicipal annals surely such a place presents an
Opportunity for the true church of Christ to do
some splendid work. I hope I do not overestimate
thi' needs of the place. V have known the general

self, and yet, dear chum, there Is nut the least

It was cliarncterlstle of Philip Hint
In this letter he Hahl nothing about his
call to Klmdale and did not toll his col
lega Cham what salary was offered hltn
by 1 lie church at Milton. As a matter
of fact, he re:ly forgot all about every
thing, except the one important event
of his decision to go to Milton. He re
garded it, and rightly so, ns the most
serious Htep of his life, and while he
had apparently decided the matter very
quickly It was. In reality, the result of
a deep conviction that he ought to go.
He was in the habit of making his de
cisions ranldlv. This habit sometimes
led him Into embarrassing mistakes
i and once in a great whilo resulted in
humiliating reversals or opinion, so
that people who did not know him
thought he was tickle and changeable.
In the present case Philip acted with
his customary quickness and knew
very well that his action was unalter
able. CHAPTER II.
Within a week Philip Strong had
moved to Milton, as the church wished
hltn to occupy the pulpit at once. The
parsonage was a well planned house
next the church, and bis wife soon
made everytWng look very homelike.
The first Sunday evening nfter Philip
preached In Milton, for the first time,
be chatted with his wife over the
events of the day as they sat before a
cheerful open fire In the large grate.
It was late In the fall and the nights
were sharp and frosty.
WOMEN are assailed at every turn by troubles peculiar
to their sex. Every mysterious ache or pain is a
symptom. These distressing sensations will keep
on coming unless properly treated.
The history of neglect is written in the worn faces and
wasted ngures o nine
tenths of our women,
every one of whom may
receive the invaluable ad
vice of Mrs. Pinkham,
without charge, by writing
to her at Lynn, Mass.
Miss Lula Evans, of
Parkersburg, Iowa, writes of her recovery as follows:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham I had been a constant sufferer
for nearly three years. Had inflammation of the womb,
leucorrhoea, heart trouble, bearing-down pains, backache,
more,
E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound and Sanative Wash a sure
cure for leucorrhoea. I am very thankful for your good advico
and medicine."
"Are you tiretl tonight, Philip f" ask
ed tils wife.
"Yes, the day tins been rather try
ing. Did you think I was nervous?
Did I preach well?" Philip was not
vain In the least. He simply put the
question to watlsfy his own exacting
demand on himself In preaching. And
there was not n person In the world to
whom he would have put such a ques
Uon except his wife.
"No, I thought you did splendidly. I
felt proud of you. You made some
queer gestures, and once you put one
of your hands in your pocket But your
sermons were both strong and effect
ive. I am sure the people were Im
pressed. It was very still at both serv
ices." Philip was silent a moment And his
wife went on:
"I am sure we shall like It here,
Philip. What do you think?"
"I cannot tell yet There is very
much to do."
"How do you like the church build
ing?" "It Is an easy audience room for my
voice. I don't like the arrangement of
the choir over the front door. I think
the choir ought to be down on the plat
form In front of.the people, by tho side
of the minister."
"That's one of your hobbles, Thilip.
But the singing was good, didn't you
think so?"
"Yes, the choir Is a good one. The
congregation didn't seem to sing much,
and I believe In congregational singing,
even when there Is n choir. But we
can bring that about In time, I think."
"Now, Philip," said his wife, In some
alarm, "you are not going to meddle
with the singing, are you? It will get
you Into trouble. There Is a musical
committee In the church, and such com
mittees are very sensitive about nny
Interference."
"Well," said Philip, rousing up a lit
tle, "the singing Is a very important
part of the service. And it seems to
me I ought to have something impor
tant to say about It But you need not
fear, Sarah. I'm not going to try to
change everything all at once."
Uls wife looked at him a little anx
iously. She had perfect faith In Phil
ip's honesty of purpose, but she some
times had a fear of his impetuous de
sire to reform the world. After a little
pause she spoke ngain, changing the
subject
"What did you think of the congrega
tion. Philip?"
"1 enjoyed It I thought It was very
attentive. There was a larger number
out this evening than I had expected."
"Did you like the looks of the peo
ple?" "They were all very nicely dressed."
"Now, Philip, you know that Isn't
what I menu. Did you like the peo
ple's faces?"
"You know I like all sorts and condi
tions of men."
"Yes, but there are audiences and au
diences. Do you think you will enjoy
preaching to this one In Calvary
church?"
"I think I shall," replied Philip, but
be said It In a tone that might have
meant a great deal more. Again there
was silence and again the minister's
wife was the first to break It
"There was a place In your sermon
tonight, Philip, where you appeared
the least bit embarrassed, aa you seem
sometimes at home when you have
some writing or some newspaper ar
ticle on your mind nnd some one sud
denly Interrupts you with a question a
good way from your thoughts. What
was the matter? Did you forget a
point?"
"No, I'll tell you. From where 1
stand on the pnlplt platform I can see
through one of the windows over the
front door. There Is a large electric
lamp burning outside, and the light fell
directly on the sidewalk across the
street From time to Ume groups of
people went through that band of
light Of course I could not see their
faces very well, but I soon found out
that thejr. were mostly the young men

for it seemed as
though I should
smother. More
than once I have
been obliged to
have the doctor
visit me in the
middle of the
night. I was also
very nervous and
fretful. I was ut
terly discouraged.
One day I thought I
would write and see

your advice and now I feel
like a new woman. All
those dreadful troubles I have no
and I have found Lydia
and women operatives of the mills.
They were out strolling through the
street, which. 1 am told, Is a favorite
promenade with them. I should thiuk
as many as 'Joo passed by the church
while I was preaching. Well, after
awhile I began to ask myself whether
there was any possible way of getting
those young people to come Into the
church Instead of strolling past? And
then I looked at the people In front of
me and saw bow different they were
from those outside and wondered If It
wouldn't be better to close up the
church and go and preach on the street
where the people are. And so, carry
ing on all that questioning with my
self, while I tried to preach, causing a
little 'embarrassment,' as you klndly
coll It in the sermon."
"I should think so! But how do yon
know, Philip, that those people outside
were In any need of your preaching?"
Philip appeared surprised at the
question. lie looked at. bis wife, and
'her face was serious.
"Why, doesn't everybody need
preaching? They may not stand Id
need of my preaching perhaps, but
they ought to have some preaching.
And I cannot help thinking of what Is
the duty of the church In this place to
the great crowd outside. Something
ought to be done."
"Philip, I nm sure your work here
will be blessed. Don't you think so?"
"I know It will." replied Philip, with
the assurance of a very positive but
spiritually minded man. lie never
thought his Master was honored by
asking him for small things or doubt
