Philip would be loused to ludlguatlou,
that ho would resign and leave Milton.
Philip did not reply at once. He was
having an inward struggle with his
sensitiveness nnd his Interpretation of
his ( 'lirist. At last he said:
"1 don't knew, Sarah. I shall do
what I think he would. What I shal'
do afterward will also depend on wha
Christ would do, I cannot decide h
yet. I have great faith in the church
mi earth."
"And yet what lias it done for you
so far. Philip? The business men still
own nnd rent the saloons and gam
bling houses. The money spent by the
shurch Is all out of proportion to its
wealth. Here you give away half
your salary to build up the kingdom of
Cod. nnd more thnn n down men In

"' to see how you nre throwing
your life away In these miserable tcne-ia-juts
and wasting your appeals on a
church that plainly docs not Intend to
do, does not want to do, as Christ
would have it. And 1 don't believe it
ever will."
"I'm uot so sure of that, Sarah," re
plied Philip cheerfully. "I believe I
shall wiit them yet. The only thing
that so:.: t ines troubles me Is, Am 1
doing Just ns Christ would do? Am
I Buying what he would say iu this
age of the world'.' There is one thing
of which 1 am certain I am trying to
do just as 1 believe be would. The
mistakes I make are those which
sluing from my failure lo interpret his
action ri'.'lit. And yet 1 do feel deep
in me t: at il he was pastor of this
church today he would do most of the
things I have done. He would preach
most of the truths I have proclaimed.
Don't you think so, Sarah'; "
"1 don't know, Philip. Yes, I think
Iu most things you have made uu hon

"And In the matter of the sexton,
Sarah, wouldn't Christ tell Calvary
church that it should admit him to its
membership' Would be make any dis
tinction of person-.'.' If the man is a
Christian, thoroughly converted and
wants to be baptised nnd unite with
Christ's body on earth, would Christ,
us pastor, refuse him admission?"
"There is a great deal of race preju
dice among the people, if you press
the matter, Philip, I feel sure it will
meet with gn at opposition."
"That Is net the question with me.
Would Christ tell Calvary church that
the man ought to be admitted? That is
"Brother 8tronJ, I'm afraid the rhurch
will otyeci."
the question. I believe he would,"
added Philip, with his sudden grasp of
practical action. And Mrs. Strong
knew that settled it with her husband.
It was the custom in Calvary church
for the church committee on new
names for membership to meet at the
minister's house on the Monday even
ing preceding the preparatory service.
At that service all names presented by
the committee were formally acted up
on by the church. The commlttee'a ac
tion was generally considered final,
and the voting was In accordance with

witnessed me conversion or tne ea
Philip had ready a iist of names, in
cluding several young men. It wns a
very precious list to him. it seemed
almost for the tlrst time since he came
to Milton ns if the growing opposition
to him was about to be checked nnd
Dually submerged beneath a power of
the Holy Spirit, which It was Philip's
daily prayer miL'ht come and do the
work which be alone could not do. That
wns one reason he had home the feel
ing against himself so calmly.
Philip rend the I st over to the com
mittee, saying something briefly about
marly nil the applicants for member
ship and c.preisiug his Joy that the
young men esM'elally wi re coming In
to the church family. When he reach
ed the seXtoU's name, he related sim
ply the acene with him after the mom
lug service.
There was uu awkward pause then.
The eotuni t'co was plainly astonish
ed. Plual!) one said: "Brother Strong.
I'm nfruld the church will object to re
ceiving the sexton. What is his name?"
Henry Itolund."
"Why, he has been sexton of Calvary
church for ten years." said another,
uu older member of the committee,
Deacon Stearns by name. "He has
heell nil honest, capable man. 1 never
heard any complaint of him. He lias
always minded his ow n business. How
ever, l ilou'l kuow how the church
will take it to consider him as an ap
plicant for membership."
"Why, brethren, how can it take It
in nny except the Chrlsilau way?" said
Philip eagerly. "Here is a man who
gives evident f being horn again.
He cillinol be present tonight when the
other applicants come in later owing
to work lie must do, but 1 can say for
him that he gave all evidence of a
most sincere and thorough conversion.
He wishes to be baptized. He wants
to unite with the church. He Is of
more than average Intelligence, lie Is
not a person to thrust himself into
places where people do not wish him
a temperate, Industrious, modest, quiet
workman, a Christian believer asking
us to receive him at the communion ta

admit him?"
"You do net know some of the mem
bers of Calvary church. Mr. Strong. If
you ask such a question. There is a
very strong prejudice ngn'.tlst the ne

is especially strong Just at this time

finished by saying very quietly,
"Brethren, do you think Christ oi.ld

Tin re was no reply for a moment
Then Deacon Stearns answered:
"Brother Strong, we have to deal with
humnulty as it is. You cannot make
people all over. This prejudice exists,
and sometimes we may have to respect
It in order to avoid greater trouble. I
know families iu the church who will
certainly withdraw if the sexton is
voted In as a member. And still." said
the old deaci U, with B sigh, "1 believe
( lirist would receive him into ills
church."
Before much more could be said the
different applicants came, nnd us the
custom was, after u brief talk with
them about their purpose In uniting
with the church and their dlsclplesblp,
they withdrew, and the committee
formally acted on the names for pres
entation to the church. The name of
Henry Roland, the sexton, was dual
ly reported unfavorably, three of the
committee voting against it. Deacon
Stearns at hist voting with the minis
ter to present the sexton's name with
the others.
"Now, brethren," said Philip, with
sad smile, as they rose to go, "you
know I have always been very frank in
all our relations together, and I am go
ing to present the sexton's name to the
church Thursday night and let the
church vote on it In spite of the notion
here tonight. You know we have only
recommending power. The church is
the final authority, nnd It may accept
or reject nny names we present I can
not rest satisfied until we know the
verdict of the church in the matter."
"Brother Strong," said one of the
committee who had been opposed to
the sexton, "you nre right as to the ex
tent of cur authority, but there is no
question In my mind as to the outcome
of the matter. It is a question of ex
pediency. I do not have any feeling 1
against the sexton, but I think It would
be very unwise to receive him Into
membership, and I do not believe the
encrca will receive htm. If vou P re
sent tne name, yon no so on your own
responsibility."
"With mine." said Pencon Stenrns.
He was the last to shake hands with
the minister, nnd his warm, strong
grasp gave Philip a sense of fellowship
that thrilled him with a sense of cour
age and companionship very much
needed. He at once went up to his
study nfter the committee was gone.
Mrs. Strong, coming up to see him lat
er, found him, rts she often did now. on
his knees iu prayer. Ah, thou follower
of Jesus In this century, what but thy
prayers shall strengthen thy soul in
the strange days to come?
Thursday evening was stormy. A
heavy rain had set In before dark, nnd
a high wind blew great sheets of water
through the streets nnd rattled loose
boards and shingles about the tene
ments. Philip would not let ills wife
go out. It wns too stormy. Bo he
went but way alone, somewhat sorrow
ful nt heart as he contemplated the
prospect of a small attendance on what
he had planned should be an Important
occasion.
However, some of the best members
of the church were out. The very ones
that were In sympathy with Philip and
ids methods were In the majority of
those present, and that led to an unex
pected result when the names of the
applicants for meml ershlp came be
fore the church for action.
I'hillp read the list approved by the
committee and then very simply, but
powerfully, told the sexton's story and
the refusal of the committee to recom
mend hlui for intjmliershlp
"Now. I d not see how we can shut
this disciple of Jesus out of his
church." concluded Philip. "And I wish
to present tt i ii) to thls'church for Itsue
t ion. He is a Christian; he needs our
help and our fell iwship, and as Chris
tian believers, as disciples of the Man
of all the race, as those who believe
that there is to be no distinction of
souls lierenft r thai shall separate
them by prejudice, 1 hope you will vote
to receive this brother in Christ to our
membership."
The voting on new members was
done by ballot. When the ballots were
all In and counted, it was announced
that all whose names were presented
were unanimously elected except that
Of the BCXton. There Were 1". votes
against him. but 2ti lor him, and Philip
declared thai according to the consti
tution of the church he was duly elect- ;
ed. The meeting then went on in the
usual manner characteristic of prepar
atory service. The sOXtOU had been j
present iu the back part of the room,
and at the close of the meeting, after
all the rest had gone, he and Philip had '
a long talk together. When Philip 1
reached home, he and Sarah had an
other long talk on the same subject.
W hat thai was we cannot tell until w"
come to record the events of the com- j
inunlou Sunday, a day thai stood out ,
Iu Philip's memory like one of the .
bleeding palms of his. Master, pierced
wltn sorrow, but eloquent with sacri
fice. I
el I. IT i: It XVI.
The day wns bountiful nnd the
church as usual crowded to the doors.
There was n feeling of hardly conceal
ed excitement on the part of Calvary
c hurch. The action of Thursday night
had been sharply criticised. Very many
thought Philip had gone beyond his
right in bringing such an important
subject before so small a meeting of
the members, and the prospect of the
nnnroachlna baptism and communion
of the sexton had draw n In n crowd of
people who ordinarily staid away from '
thflt service.
Philip generally had no preaching on
SOmmuuion Sunday. This morning he
remained on the platform after the I
opening exercises, and In a stillness
which was almost painful in its in
tensity he began to speak iu a low but
clear ali i impressive voice:
"Fellow disciples of the church of
Christ on earth, we meet to celebrate
the memory of that greatest of all bo
lugs, w ho, 011 the eve of his own great
est agony, prayed that ids disciples
might all be one. In that prayer he
said nothing about color or race or
dilTerei.ee of speech or social sur
roundings. His prayer was that his
disciples might all be one one iu their
aims, in their purposes, their sympa
thy, their faith, their hope, their love.
"An 1 v 1 lit has happened ill this
church very recently Which makes it
necensary for me i say these words.
The Holy Spirit came into this room
last Sunday and touched the hearts
of several young men, who gave them
selves then and there to the Lord Jesus
Christ. Among the men was one of
another race than the Anglo-Saxon.
He was ii Mack man. His heart was
melted by the same love, his mind il
luminated by the same truth. lie de
' sired to make confession of his belief,
1 be baptized according to the commands
of .Icsus and unite with this church as
! a humble disciple of the low ly Na.a
rene. His name was presented with
1 the rest at thiroguiar committee meet
j lug last Monday, and that committee,
1 by a vote of :t to 'Jt. refused to present
! liis name with recommendations for
membership, on my own responslbill-
1 ty at the preparatory service Thursday
I night I asked the church to net upon
j this disciple's nnmo. There wns a
j legal quorum of the church present,
j Hy a vote of Jtl to 12 the applicant for
1 membership was received according to
the rules of this church.
"But nfter that meeting the man
enme to me nnd snhl thnt lie wns un
willing to unite w ith the church, know
ing tlint some objected to his member
ship. It was a natural feeding for him
to have. We had a long talk over the
matter. Since then I have learned
that if a larger representation of mem
bers had been present nt the prepara
tory meeting there is n possibility thnt
the number voting ngaiust receiving
the applicant would have been much
larger than those who voted for him.
"Under all these circumstances I
have deemed !t m? dutv to say what I
i..r ism rar said ami to ass IBS
church to take the action I now pro
pose. We are met here this morning in
full membership. Here Is a soul Just
led out of the darkness by the spirit of
truth. He is one known to many of
you as uu honest, worthy man, for
many years faithful In the discharge of
his duties iu this house. There Is no
Chrlstlun reason why he should be de
nied fellowship around this table. I
wish, therefore, to ask the members of
the church to vote ngain on the ac
ceptance or rejection of Henry Holaud.
disciple of Jesus, who has asked for
permission to this body of Christ In
ids name. Will all those iu favor of
thus receiving our brother into the
preat family of faith signify it by rais
ing the right hand?"
For a moment not a person In the
chunh stirred, Every one seemed
smitten Into astonished inaction by the
sudden proposal of the minister. Then
hands began to go up. Philip counted
them, Ids heart beating with anguish
as he foresaw the coming result. He
waited a minute- it Seemed to many
like several minutes and then said.
"All those opposed to the admission of
the applicant signify it hy the same
sign."
Again there was tin- same significant
reluctant pause, then half a dozen
bands went up in front of the church.
Instantly from almost every part of
the house hands wont up In numbers
that almost doubled those who had
voted in lav ui' of admission. From the
gallery on the sides, where several of
Philip's workmen friends sat. a hiss
arose. It was slight, but heard by the
entire congregation. Philip glanced up
there, and it instantly ceased.
Without another word he stepped
down from the platform and began to
read the list of those who had been re
ceived Into church membership, lie
had almost reached the end of it w hen
a person whose name was called last
rose from his seat near the front,
where all the newly received members
were In the habit of sitting together,
and, turning partly around so ns to
face the congregation and still address
Philip, he snld:
"Mr. Strong, I do not feed as if, after
what has taken place here this morn
ing, I could unite with this church.
This man who has been exc luded from
church membership is the son of a wo-,
man born into slavery on the estate of I
one of my relatives. That slave wo
man once nursed her master through
a terrible illness and saved his life.
This man. her son. was then a little
Child. But In the strange c hanges that
have gone on since the war the son of
the old master lias been reduced to
poverty and obliged to work for 11 liv
ing. He is now in this town. He is
this very day lying upon 11 sick heel in
the tenement district. Ami this black
man has for several weeks out of his
small earnings helped the son of his
mother's master and cared for him
through his illness with all the devo
tion of a friend.
"I have only lately learned these
facts. Hut, knowing them ns 1 do and
believing thnt he is ns worthy to sit
about this table ns n'ny Ch'rlsrtntv here,
I cannot reconcile the rejection with
my own purpose to unite here, I
therefore desire to withdraw my ap
plication for membership here. Mr.
Strong. I desire to he baptised and par
take of the Communion lis a disciple of
Christ simply, not 11s a member of Cal
vary churc h. Can I do so?"
Philip replied in a choking voice,
"You can." The man sat down. It
was not the plac e for any demonstra
tion, but again from the gallery came
1 slight but distinct note of applause,
sir before, it Instantly subsided as
Philip looked up. For a moment ev
ery one held his breath and waited
for the minister's action. Philip's face
was pale and stern. What his sensi
tive nature suffered in that moment
no one ever knew, uot even ids wife,
who almost started from her seat,
fearing that he was about to faint.
For a moment there was a hesitation
about Philip's manner so unusual with
him that some thought be was going to
leave the church. But he quickly call
ed on his will to assert Its power, and.
taking up the regular communion serv
ice, he calmly took charge of it as if
nothing out of the way had occurred.
He did not even allude to the morn
ing's Incident in ids prayers. Whatever
o!-e the people might think of Philip
they certainly could find no fault with
his self possession. His conduct cif the
service on that memorable Sunday was
admirable.
When it was over, lie was surround
ed hy different ones who had taken
part either for or against the sexton.
There was much said about the matter.
But all the arguments and excuses and
comments on the affair could not re
move tlie heartache from Philip. He
could not reconcile the action of the
churc h with the spirit of the church's
Master. ,h siis. and when he finally
reached home nnd calmly reviewed the
events of the morning he was more
and more grieved for the church and
for his Master. It seemed to him thnt
11 great mistake had been made nnd
that Calvary church had disgraced the
name of Christianity.
As lie had been in the habit of doing
since he moved Into the neighborhood
of the tenements, Philip went out In
the afternoon to visit the sick and the
sorrowful. The shutting down of the
mills had resulted In an Immense
amount of suffering nnd trouble. As
spring enme on some few of the mills
had opened, and men had found work
la them nt a reduction of wages. The
entire history of the enforced Idleness
of thousnnds of men in Milton during
that eventful winter would make a
large volume of thrilling narrative.
Philip's story but touches on this oth
er, lie had grown rapidly familiar
with the different phases of life which
loafed and Idled and drank Itself away
during that period of Inaction. Hun
dreds of men had drifted away to oth
er tilaces In searc h of work. Almost e

the Church people and these represent

If you have "a good mind to
write to Dr. Pierce 1 ' take pen in
hand and begin. Then you
avoid the experience of Mrs. M. I
Davis, of Honaker, Russell Co
Va. She writes :
"For seven years I wns confined I
bed most of the time. I had ulcen tic
of internal organs and female weak nea
1 had four doctors and they said i 1
not be cured After the docti l ;
I could not lie cured I wrote to I ;-'
Pierce for advice I followed th
advice he gave I feel better than!
ever did. My friends say I do not lXj
like the same woman. am sorry I dm
not take Dr. PUrceU medicine wh
first began lo have poor health. I couM
have saved what I paid to humbugs."
No one ever regretted writin to
Dr. Pierce for advice. Many haV.
regretted not writing sooner.
