CHAPTER XXI.
When the Brother Man iml nnished
ills prayer, ho rose, nnd, stooping over
his son. he kisaed him. Then be turn
ed about ami faced l'hlllp and Sarah,
who almost felt guilty of Intrusion lu
looking al such a scene. Hut the Broth
it Man wore a radiant look. To Phil
ip's surprise lie was not excited. The
same Ineffable peace breathed from his
entire person. To that peace was now
added a fathomless Joy.
"Yes," he saiil very simply, "I have
found my sun which was lust. Qod Is
good to me. lie is good t all his chil
dren, lie Is tin- All Father. lie is
Love."
"Did you know your sun was hero?"
Philip asked.
"No; I found liiiii here. You have
saved his lite. That was doing as He
would."
"It was very little we could do," said
Philip, with a sigh. lie hail seen so
much trouble and suffering that day
that his soul was sick within him.
Yet he welcomed this event in his
Imllle. It seoineil like 11 little lili'ht-
ness of heaven on earth.
"I have not seen him for years, lie
was my youngest son. We quarreled.
All that is past, lie did nol know that
to give nit .all that line has was the
will of Coil. Now ho knows. When
he Is well, we will pi away togcther
yes, 'together." lie spread out his
palms in his favorite gesture, with
plentiful coutenl In his fnco ami voice.
,s sprinn had blossomed Into sum
mer .'mil summer ripened Into autumn
every one hail predicted better limes.
Bui the predictions did nut bring them.
The suffering and sickness and help
lessness of the tenement district grew
every day more desperate, To Philip
it Hccmcd like the ulcer of Milton. All
the surface remedies proposed and
ndopted hy the city council and the
churches ami the benevolent societies
hail nut touched the problem. The
mills were imIiij; on part time. Thou
sands of men yet lingered in the place
hoping to pet work. Even if the mills
hail been running as usual that would
not have diminished one particle of the
sin nnd vice anil drunkenness that
saturated the place. Ami as Philip
studied the mutter with brain and soul
he came to a conclusion regarding the
duty of the church. He illtl not pre
tend to tro beyond that, but as the
weeks went by anil fall came on nmi
another winter Btnred the people cold
ly In the face lie knew that lie must
speak out what burned In him.
lie hail been a year In Milton. Kvcry
month of that year hail hnpresscd him
w ith the deep ami apparently hopeless
chnsni that yawned between the work
ing world .'mil the church, There was
no point of contact. One was suspi
cious, the oiher was Indifferent. Some
thing was radically wrong, nnd some,
thing radically positive ami Christian
must be done 10 right the condition
that faced the churches of Milton.
Thai was In his soul as he went bis
way like one of the ohl prophets, lm
bued v illi (lie love of Qod as lie saw it
In the heart of Christ, With infinite
longing lie yearned to brim; the church
to a sense of her great power ami op
port unity. So matters hail finally
drawn in n point In the month of No
vember. The Brother Man had come
In October. Tin- sick man recovered
slowly. l'hlllp ami his wife found
room for the father ami son and shared
with them what comforts they hail. It
should be Mild that after moving out
of the parsonage into his house in the
tenement district Philip had more than
given the extra thousand dollars the
church Insisted on paying him. The
demands on him were so urgent, the
perfect Impossibility of providing men
with work ami so relieving them bail
been such ii bar to giving help ill that
direction, that out of sheer necessity,
as ii seemed to him, Philip bad given
fully half of the thousand dollars re
served for bis own salary. His entire
expenses were reduced to the smallest
possible amount. Everything above
that went where it was absolutely
needed. He was literally sharing what
in- bad Willi the people who tin! not
have anything, li seemed to him that
he could not consistently do anything
less In view of what he bad preached
ami Intended to preach.
One evening in the middle of the
month be was Invited to a social nalh
ering at the house of Mr. Winter. The
mill owner had of late been experienc
ing a revolution of thought His atti
tude toward l'hlllp had grown more
ami mora friendly.
It was a gathering of personal
friends of Mr. Winter, Including some
of tl hurch popple. The moment that
Philip steppeil luto the spacious hall
ami caught n glimpse of the furnish
ings of the rooms beyond, the contrast
between nil the comfort nml bright
ness of this house nnd the last place he
had visited lu tlio tenement district
smote him with a sense of pnln. lie
drove It back and blnmed himself with
nn Inward reproach that he was grow
ing narrow and could think of only one
idea.
lie conid not rememlwr Just what
brought np the subject, but some one
during the evening, which was passed
in conversation and music, mentioned
the rumor going about of increased dls-
i
it

If

it
t
;t
"Ualcom
idnmM PuWtaWtifl Cb
,
turhnnco In I lie low er part of the
town nml carelessly wanted to know If
the paper did not exaggerate the facts.
Some one turned to Philip and asked ,
him about it as the one best Informed.
He did not know how long he talked.
He knew there was a great hush when
he had ended. Then before any one
could change the stream of thought
some young woman In the music room
who had not known what was going
on began to slm: to a new Instrumen
tal variation Home. Sweet Home."
Coming as It did after Philip's vivid
description of the tenements, it seemed
like ii sob of despair or n mocking
hypocrisy, lie drew back Into one of
the smaller rooms and began to look
over some art prints mi a (aide. As he
stood there, again blaming himself for
his impetUOUS breath of society eli-
quette lu almost preaching on such an
occasion, Mr. Winter came In and
said :
It does not seem possible that sueh
n stale of nffairs oNts as you describe,
Mr. Strong. Are you Mire you do not
exaggerate?"
"Exaggerate! Mr. Winter, you have
pardoned my little sermon here to
night, 1 know, li was forced on me,
But" He choked, nml then, with an
energy that was all the stronger for
being repressed, ho said, turning full
toward the mill owner: "Mr. Winter,
will you go with me and look at thliurs
for yourself? In the nan f I'hrisi
will you see what humanity is slnniiiL'
ami suffering not more than a mile
from this home of yours V"
Mr. Winter hesitated and the
"Yes. I'll go. When?"
"Say tomorrow night. Conn
to my house early, and we wl
i said:
down
I start
from there."
When Mr. Wlnti r t ame down the
next evening, Philip asked 1 im to
come in mi l wall a few miuuti s, as he
was detained In his study room by a
taller. The mill owner sat down and
vlslletl with Mrs. Strong n little while.
Finally she was called Into the other
room, nnd Mr. Winter was left alone.
The door inlo the sick man's i m was
partly open, and he could not help
hearing the conversation between the
Brother Man and his son. Bometblng
that was said made him curious, nml
when Philip came down be asked him
it question concerning his strange
boarder,
"Come In nnd see him," said Philip.
He brought Mr. Winter Into the little
room iiu.l Introdu I him to the pa
tient. He was nble to sit np now. At
mention of Mr. Winter's name he
Unshed and trembled. It then occur
red to Philip for the lirst time thai it
wits il.e mill owner that I.N assailant
that night had Intended to waylay and
rob.
CnAPTEB XXII.
As they were going out of the house
the patient railed Philip back. He
went in again, ami the man said, "Mr.
Strong, l w ish you would ti ll Mr. Win
ter all about It."
"Would you feel easier?" Philip ask
ed gently.
"Yes."
"All right:
ry. Brother
him. I shall
I'll tell him. lon"t wor
Mnn, take good care of
ii. ii be back until late."
He kissed his wife ami joined Mr,
Winter, and together tiny made the
round of the district
As they were going through the
court mar by the place where Philip
had been attacked he told the mill
owmr the story. Ii affected him
greatly, but as they went en through
the tenements the sights that met him
there w iped out the recollection of ev
erything else.
"How many people arc there In our
church that know anything about this
plague spot from personal knowledge,
Mr. Winter?" Philip asked after they
li.nl been out about two hours.
"I don't know. Very few. I pre
sume." "And yet they onght to know about
il. How else shall all this sin ami mis
ery be done away?"
"i suppose the law could do some
thing," replied Mr. Winter feebly.
"The law!" Philip saiil the two 1
words ami then stopped. They stum
bled over a heap of refuse thrown out
Into tiie doorway of a miserable struc
ture, "(ih. what ibis place needs Is
not law and ordinances ami statutes so
much us live, loving Christian men and
rVoiaen who will give themselves Ulltl
a large part of their means to oleaiine
the souls ami bodies anil houses of this
wretched district We have reached a
crisis in Milton when Christians must
give themselves to humanity. Mr.
Winter. 1 am going to tell Calvary
church so next Sundny."
Mr. Winter was silent. They lind
come out of the district ami were j
walking along together toward the up-1
per part of the city. The houses kept ;
growing larger ami better. Finally i
they came up to the avenue where the
churches were situated a broad, clean,
well paved street. With magnificent
elms nnd elegant houses on either side,
and the seven large, beautiful church
buildings, with VJieir spires pointing
upward, almost all of tem visible
from where the two men stood.
A door in one of the houses near
opened. A group of people passed in.
The glimpse caught by the two men
was a glimpse of bright flower dec
orated rooms, beautiful dresses, glit-
terlng Jewels nnd a table henped with
luxuries of food. It was the paradise
"Chrlsttomi must give thcmxclvca to hu
manity." of society, the display of Its ease, Its
soft enjoyment of pretty things. Its
careless Indifference to humanity's
pain in the lower town. The group of
newcomers went in, a strain of music
and the echo of a dancing laugh Boat
ed out Into the Btreet, nml then the
door closed.
"Mr. Strong, if you preach to the
people to have such plenstirc as that
we have Just glanced at to view or
suffer such things as are found in the
tenements, you must expect opposition.
I doubt if they will understand your
meaning. I know they will nol do any
such thing. It Is askiiiL' too much."
"And yet the Lord .lesus Christ, 'al
though he was rich, for our Bakes be
came poor, that we. through his pov
erty, might be rich.' Mr. Winter, w hat
this town needs is thai kind of Chris
tianity, the kind that will give up the
physical pleasures of life to show the
love of Christ to ierishlng men. I be
lieve It is Just as true now as when
Christ lived, thai unless they are will
ing to renounce all that they have they
cannot be bis disciples."
"Do you mean literally. Mr. Strong?"
asked tin? rich man after a little.
"Yes. literally, sometimes. I be
lieve the aw ful condition of things mid
souls we have witnessed tonight will
not be any better until many, many of
the professing Chrl linns in this town
ami In Calvary church are willing to
leave, actually to leave their lieautlful
homes and spend the money they now
spend In luxuries for the good of the
weak and poor and sinful."
"Do you think Christ would pnach
that if he were In Milton?"
"I do. It has been burned Into me
that he would. I believe he WOUld S"y
to the members of Calvary church: 'If
any man love bouses and money an l
society nnd power nnd position more
than me, be cannot-be my disciple, If
any man renouncethj not all that he
bath, he cannot be my disciple.' AntJ
then he would test the entire church
by its willingness to renounce all these
physlcil things. And if be found the
members willing, 'f lie found that they
loved him nn. re than the money or the
power, he might not demand a literal
giving up. Put he would say to them,
'Take my money and my power, for It
! all mine, and use tin ra for the build
ing uii of my kingdom.' He would not
then perhaps command them to leave
literally their beautiful surroundings.
Put. then, in soi i s I believe he
would, oh. yes! Sacrifice, sacrifice!
What does the church ill America in
this age of the world know nbout It?
How much do church members give of
themselves nowadays to the Master?
Thai is what wo need sell', the souls
of men ami women, the living sacri
fices for these lust children down yon
tier! O Cod to think of what Christ
gave up! Ami then to think of how
little his Church is doing to u'.ny his
last command to go nml disciple the
nations!"
Philip went back through the nv
enne on which the churches stool.
When he reached Calvary church, he
went up on the sieps, and, obeying an
Instant Impulse, he kneeled down on
the upper slip ami prayed. Great
sobs shook him. They were sobs With
out tears- sobs that were articulate
here ami there with groans of anguish
and desire, He prayed for his loved
church, fur the wretched beings lu the
ncll of torment without Qod ami with
out hope lu (he world, for the spirit of
Christ to come again Into the heart of
the church and teach It the meaning
ami extent of sacrifice.
When the eventful Sunday came he
faced the usual Immense concourse.
He did not come out of the Utile room
until the last moment. When lie final
ly appeared, ids fate bore marks of
tears. At last they had flowed as n re
lief to his burden, and he gave the peo
ple his message with a courage ami a
peace ami a love born of direct com
munion with the spirit of Truth.
As he went on people began to listen
in amazement. He hud begun by giv
ing tlteni n statement of facts concern
lug the sinful, needy, desperate con
dition of life In the place. He then
rapidly Sketched the contrast between
the surroundings of the Christian and
non-Christian people, between the
workingmen nnd the church members.
"Disciples of Jesus." lie exclaimed,
"the time has come when our Master
demands of us some token of our dis
clpleshlp greater than the giving of a
little money or the giving of a little
work and time to the solution of the
great problem of modern society and
of our own city. The time has come
when we must give ourselves. The
time has came when we must re
nounce, if It is best, if Christ asks It,
the things we have so long counted
dear the money, the luxury, the
houses and go down Into the tene
ment district to live there and work
there with the people. I do not wish
to be misunderstood here. I do not be
lieve our modern civilization Is nn ab
surdity. 1 do not believe Christ If he
were here today would demand of us
foolish things. But this I do believe
lie would require ourselves. We must
give ourselves In some way that will
inonn real, genuine, downright nnd de
cided self sacrifice. If Christ were
here he would soy to some of you. as
lie said to the young man. 'Sell all you
have nnd give to the puor, and come,
follow me.' Anil If you were unwill
ing to do It he would say you could not
be his disciples. The test of dlsclple
shlp Is the same now ns then: the price
ts no less on account of the lapse of
li.iNKi years. Eternal life Is something
which has only one price, and that Is
the same always. Members of Calvary
church. I solemnly believe the time
has come when It Is our duty to go Inlo
the tenement district and redeem it by
the power of personal sacrifice and
personal presence. Nothing less will
auswer. To accomplish this great task,
to bring back to Qod this great part of
his kingdom, I believe we ought to
spend our time, our money, ourselves.
It is a sin for us to live at our pleasant
ense. lu enjoyment of all good things,
while men and women and children by
the thousand nre dyii g, hotly and soul,
before our very eyes In need of the
blessings of Christian civilization in
our power to share with them. We
cannot say It Is not our business. We
cannot excuse ourselves on the plea
of our own business. This is our lirst
business, to love Qod and man with all
our might.
"This problem before us calls for all
our Christian dlsclplesbip. Every heart
in this church should cry out this day.
'Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?'
Ami each soul must follow the com
mands that he honestly hears. Out uf
the depths of the black abyss of hu
man want and sin and despair ami an
guish mid rebellion in this place and
over the world rings In my ear n cry
for help that by the grace of Qod I
truly believe cannot be answered by
the church of Christ on earth until the
members of that church are willing in
great numbers to give all their money,
nml all their time, mid all their homes,
and nil their luxuries, and all their ac
complishments, nnd all their artistic
tastes, and all themselves t satisfy
the needs of the generation as ii looks
for the bran of the blooding Christ In
the members of the church of Christ.
Ten, truly, except a man is willing to
renounce all thai he hnth, he cannot
be his disciple, lines Christ ask any
member of Calvary church to renounce
all and go down Inlo the tenement dis
trict to live Christ there? Yes. all.
"My beloved, if Christ speaks so to
yon today listen and obey. Service!
Self! That is what he wants. And if
he asks for nil. when nil Is needed,
what then? Cnu we sing that hymn
with any Christian honesty of heart
unless wo interpret It literally?
"Were the whole rralm of naturr mine,
That wire an offerinir lar t,iu small;
Love no ainartnjr, so divine,
D.'iiiantlf my soul, my life, my all I"
It would partly describe the effect of
this sermon on Calvary church to say,
What w as a fact, that when Philip end
ed and then kneeled down by the side
of the desk to pray the silence was
painful, and the Intense feeling pro
voked by his remarkable statements
was felt In the appearance of the audi
ence ns It rcmnincd sealed after the
benediction. Put the final result was
yet ti) show Itself: that result was not
visible In the Sunday audience.
The next day Philip was unexpected
ly summoned out of Milton to the par
ish of his old college chum. His old
friend was thought to be dying. He
had sent for Philip. Philip, w hose af
fection for him was second only to that
which he gave his wife, went nt once.
His friend was almost gone. He ral
lied when Philip came, ami then for
two weeks his life swung back and
forth between this world ami the next.
Philip staid on. and so was gone one
Sunday from bis pulpit In Milton. Then
the week following, as Alfred gradual
ly came back from the shore of that
other world. Philip, assured that lie
would live, rt turned home.
During that ten days' absence seri
ous events had taken place in Calvary
church. Philip reached home on
Wednesday. He at once went to the
house ami greeted his wife and the
Brother Man nnd William, who was
now silting up in the large room.
He hail not been home more than an
hour when the greatest dizziness came
overliiin. He sal up so much with Ids
chum that be was entirely worn out.
He went up stairs to He down on Ids
couch in ids small study. He Instantly
fell asleep auil dreamed that he was
standing on the platform of calvary
hurcfa preaching. It was the lirst
Sunday of a month. He thought he
Said something the people did not like.
Suddenly a man in the audience raised
a revolver and fired at him. At once
from over the house people aimed re
volvers nt lilm nml began to fire. The
noise wns terrible, and in the midst of
it he nwoke to feel to his amazement
that his wife wns kneeling at the side
of ids couch, sobbing with n heartache
Hint was terrible to him. He was In
stantly wide awake and her dear head
clasped In ills amis. And when he
prayed her to tell him the matter she
sobbed out the news to him which her
faithful, loving heart had concealed
from him while he was at the bedside
of his friend. And even when the news
of what the church had done In his
absence bad come to him fully through
her broken recital of it he did not real
ize it until she placed in his hands the
letter which the church had voted to
be written, asking him to resign his
pastorate of Calvary church. Even
then he fingered the envelope In an ab
sent way, and for an instant his eyes
left the bowed form of his wife and
looked out beyond the sheds over to
the tenements. Then he opened the
letter and read it

SAVED BY MRS. PINK HAM.

"You have saved my life, snatched
me from the brink of the grave almost,
and I wish to thank you. About eigh
teen months ago I was a total wreck,
physically. I had been troubled with
leucorrhuca for some time, but had given
hardly any attention to the trouble.
" At last inflammation of the womb
and ovaries resulted and then I suf
fered agonies, had to give up my pro
fession (musician and piano player),
wan confined to my bed and life became
a terrible cross. My husband sum
moned the best physicians, but their
benefit was but temporary at best I
believe I should have contracted the
morphine habit under their care, if my
common sense had not intervened.
" One day my husband noticed the ad
vertisement of your remedies and im
mediately bought me a full trial. Soon
the pain in my ovaries was gone. I am
now well, strong and robust, walk,
ride a wheel, and feel like a girl in her
teens. I would not be without Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; it
is like water of life to me. I am very
gratefully and sincerely your well

remedies. I hope some poor creature
may be helped to health by reading my

Farmers
and
Furrows
A firmer is known by his furrow .n
" the carpenter is known by his chips." It
takes a firm band and a true eye to turn
a straight furrow. No wonder the fanner
wears out, spite of exercise and fresh air.
One day's work on the farm would tire
many a trnined ntfhlete. And the farnitf
works hardest of all. The first up and
the last to bed, feeding his team before
he feeds himself, his work is practically
never done. Why docs not the farmer
treat his own body as he treats the land
he cultivates? lie puts back in phos
phate w hat he takes out in orops, or the
land would grow poor. The farmer
should put back into his body the vital
elements exhausted by labor. If he docs
not, he will soon complain of "poof
health." The great value of Dr. Pierce'
Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital
izing power. It gives strength to the
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood. It supplies Nature with the sub
stances by which she builds up the body,
just as the fanner supplies Nature witb
the substances that build np the crops. 1
