When Saturday, the election 'day, came, the excitement rose to its height An attempt waa made to close all the saloons. ' It . vras partly successful, but there was a great deal of drinking go . " ingon all day. The Rectangle boiled . and heaved and cursed and turned its -. worst side out to the gaze of the city. Gray had continued his meetings dur ' ing the week, and the results had been even greater than he had dared to hope. ' When Saturday came, it seemed to him : that the crisis in his work had been . reached. The Holy Spirit and the satan of rum seemed to rouse up to a desper ate conflict. The more interest in the ' meetings the more ferocity and vileness outside. The saloon men no longer con . cealed their feelings. Open threats of violence were made. Once during the week Oray and his little company of helpers were assailed with missiles of various kinds as they left the tent late at night. The police sent down special protection, and Virginia and Rachel , were always under the protection of Rollin or Dr. West Rachel's power in song had not diminished. Rather with each night it seemed to add to the in tensity and reality of the Spirit's pres ence. , Oray had at first hesitated about having a meeting that night, but he had a simple rule of action and was al ways guided by it The Spirit seemed to lead them to continue the meeting, and so Saturday night he went on, as usual. The excitement all over the city had reached its climax when t'ae polls closed y- at 6 o'clock. Never had there been such a contest in Raymond. The Issue of license or no license had never been an . issue under such circumstances. Never . before had such elements in the city been arrayed against each other. It was an unheard of thing that the president of Lincoln college, the pastor of the First church, the dean of the cathedral, the professional men living in the fine houses on the boulevard, should come personally into the wards and by their presence and their example represent the Christian conscience of the place. The ward politicians were astonished at the sight However, their astonish ment did not prevent their activity. The fight grew hotter every hour, and when 6 o'clock came neither side could have guessed at the result with any cer- tamtv. tverv one agreed that never had there been such ah election in nay mond, and both sides awaited the an nouncement of the result , with , the greatest interest " ' lu "'it i It was aftetJQ : o'clock when the meeting at the, tent was closed. , It had been a strange and. in some respects a , remarkable, meeting. ,. Henry Maxwell had come down again at Gray's request , He was completely worn out by the day's work, but the appeal from Gray came to him in such a form that he did not feel able to resist it Donald Marsh was also present. He had never been to the Rectangle, and his curiosity was aroused from what 'he had ', noticed of the influence of the evangelist in the worst part of the city. ' Dr. West and Rollin had come with Rachel and Vir ginia, and Loreen, who had staid with Virginia, was present near the organ, in her right mind, sober, with a humil ity and dread of herself that kept her as close to Virginia as a faithful dog. All through the service Loreen sat with bowed head, weeping a part of. the time. Bobbing when Rachel sang the song, "I was a wandering sheep," clinging with almost visible, tangible yearning to the one hope she had found. listening to prayer and appeal and con fession all about her like one who was a part of a new creation, yet fearful of her right to share in it fully. "Thank Gbd l I hope It is true, ex- , claimed Henry Maxwell ."Marsh, we : are in danger here. . Do you realize our 1 situation?. We ought to get the ladies to a place of safety." . i .;-..!. "That is true," said Marsh gravely. At that moment a shower of stones and Other missiles fell over them:"' The nar- ' cow street and sidewalk in front of them were completely choked with the worst ' elements of, the Rectangle. ,1,1' "This looks serious, " said Maxwell With Marsh and Rollia and Dr. West he started to go forward through the amall opening, Virginia, Rachel and Loreen following close and sheltered by ' the men; who now Teamed something of their' danger. " The -ectangle was drunk and enraged. It saw in Daniel Harsh and Henry Maxwell two of the ; eaders in the election contest who had perhaps robbed them of their beloved laloon. . . ; . . .. . "Down with the aristocrats!" shout td a shrill voice, more like a woman's than a man's. ' A shower of mud and stones followed ' Rachel remembered afterward that Rollin jumped directly in front of her ' and received on his head and chest a number of blows that would probably have struck her if he had not shielded ber from them. ' , And just then, before ' the police The tent had bee crowded. As on reached ttoem, Loreen darted rorward some other occasions, there waa more I at 4119 Bide of .Virginia and pushed her 1 aside, looking up and screaming, it ' was so sudden that no one had time to -jatch the face of the one who did it But out of the upper window of a room aver the very saloon where Loreen had some out a week before some one had thrown a heavy bottle. It struck Loreen an the head, and she fell to the ground Virginia turned and instantly kneeled iown by her. The police officers by that time had reached the little company. Donald Marsh raised his arm and ihouted over the howl that was begin ning to rise from the wild beast in the mob. ' . " "Stop! You've killed a woman!" The announcement partly sobered the crowd. "Is it true T". Henry Maxwell asked as Dr. West kneeled on the other side of Loreen, supporting her. "She's dying!" said Dr. West briefly. Loreen opened her eyes and smiled at Virginia. Virginia wiped the blood from her face and then bent over and kissed her. Loreen smiled again, and the next moment her soul was in para iise. And yet this is only one woman out Df thousands killed by this drink devil Crowd back now, ye sinful men and women in this filthy street! Let this august , dead form be borne through four stupefied sobered ranks. She was jne of your own children. The Rectan gle had stamped the image of the beast jn her. Thank him who died for sin ners that the other image of a new soul now shines out of her pale clay. Crowd back! Give them roeiat Let her pass reverentlv. followed and surrounded by or less disturbance on the outside of the tent This had increased as the night advanced, and Gray thought it wise not to prolong the service. Once in' awhile a shout as from a large crowd swept into the tent The returns from the election were beginning to come in, and the Rectangle had emptied every lodging house, den and hovel into the streets. ...... : In spite of the distractions, Rachel's singing kept the crowd in the tent from dissolving. There were a dozen or more conversions. Finally the crowd became restless, and Gray closed the service, remaining a little while with the con verts, v , , '" ,. .. Rachel Virginia, Loreen, Rollin and tbe doctor, President Marsh and Henry Maxwell went out together, intending to go down to their usual waiting place for their car. As they came out of the tent they at once were aware that the Rectangle was trembling on the edge of a drunken riot, and as they pushed through the gathering mobs in the nar row streets they began to realize that they themselves were objects of great attention. . "There he is. the bloke in the tall hat He's the lgaderl" shouted a rough voice. President Marsh, with his erect commanding figure, was conspicuous in the little company. "How has the election gone? It is too early to know the result yet, isn't itr He asked the question aloud, and a man answered: "They say second and third wards have gone almost solid for no license. Ii that is so, the whisky man have bnen has ton the weepibg, awestrucr uoufiiuoy ui Christians. Ye killed her.' ye dfntiken murderers!1 And yet, nd yet, O Chris tian America, who killed thi3 w6uian ? Stand backt Silence there! I A Woman has been killed!' Whot Loreen; child of the street poor,' drunken, vile sinner I 0 Lord God, how long T Yes; tlropaloon killed her that is, the voters in Chris tian America who - license the saloop. And the judgment day only shall, de clare who was the murderer of Lowen : "1 have available for use at least $450,000. Rollin has as much mbre. 'It Is one of his bitter regrets now that his extravagant habits of life before his conversion practically threw away half that father left him. We are both eager to make all the reparation in our pow er. ' 'What would Jesus do with this money?'. We want to answer that Ques tion honestly and wisely. .The mondy I shall put into The News is, I am con fident, in "line with Jesus' probable ac tion. It is as necessary that we have a daily Christian paper in Raymond, especially now that we have the saloon influence to meet, as it is to have a church or a college. So I am satisfied that the $500,000 that Mr. ' Norman 1 will know how to jise so well will be a . powerful factor in Raymond to do as Jesus woui. do. ' ' ' "About my other plan, Rachel, 1 1 want you to work with me. Rollin and I are going to buy up a large part of the property in the Rectangle. The field where the tent now iH has been in liti gation for years. We mean to secure the entire trnct as soon as the courts have settled thu title. 1 For some time I have been making a specal study of the various forms of college settlements and resident methods of ChriHtian work and institutional church work in the heart . of great city Mums.. I do not know that 1 nave yet been able to ten ust what Is the wisest and most effective kind of work that enn be done in Raymond, but I do know this much my money (I mean God's, which be wants tne to use) can build ' wholesome ' lodging houses, refuges for poor women, asy lums for shopgirls, safety for many and many a lost girl like Loreen. ' And I do not want to be simply a dispenser of this money. God help met I do want to put myself into the problem. But do you know, Ruchel. I liavo a feeling all the time that all that limitless money and limitless personal sacrifice can possibly do will not really lessen very much the awful conditions at the Rectangle as long as the saloon is legally establinhed there. I think that is true of any Christian work now be ing carried on in uny great city. The saloon furnishes material to be saved faster than the settlement or r?sidence or Tescue mission work can sive it. " Virginia sudden'y rt seiin.l paced the hall. Rachel answered Badly and yet with a note of hope in her voice: "It is true; but. oh. Virrrinia. what a wonderful amount of huppinp and power can come out of this money! And the saloon cannot alwavs reqiajn here. 1 ne time must come wnen tne Uhnstm torce in tne City Win tnuuipd. :. Virginia paused near Rachel and her pale, earnest face lighted up. , - "I believe that too. - The number of those who have promised to do as Jesus would is increasing. If we once have, say, .500 such disciples' iri Raymond, the saloon is doomed. But now, dear, I want you to look at your part in this plan for capturing and saving the Rec tangle. ,. Your voice is a power.,, I have had many ideas lately. Here is one of them. Yon could organize among the girls avinusicul institute'. Give them the benefit of your training. There are aome splendid voices in the rough there. Did any one ever hear such singing as that yesterday by those women ? Rachel, what a bpautifnl opportunity I You shall haye the ht of opportunity in the way of 'orrns and orchestras that money can provide, and what cannot be done with uusic to win souls there into higher mid butter and purer liv K?' ... V ... Before Virginia h'id cvnsed speaking Rachel's f;ce hs pprfrctly transfigured with tlip tlmryht of her life work; It flowed into !rr hivirt v.r.i mind like a flood, and t!u torrrnt of her feeling overflowed in tears that coald not be restrained, It was whut sae had dreamed of dointf lurnulf. It represented to her something that she felt was in keeping with a right uhb of her own talent "Yes, " she said us she rose and put her arms about Virginia, while both girls in the excitement of their enthusiasm paced the hall "yes, I will gladly put my life into that kind of service. I do believe that J esus would have me use my life in this way. Virginia, what miracles can we not accomplish with humanity if we have such a lever as consecrated money to move things with!" , : ; "Add to it consecrated personal en thusiasm like yours, and it certainly can accomplish great things," said Vir ginia, smiling, and then before Rachel could reply Rollin came in. He hesitat ed a moment and was passing out of the hall into the library when Virginia called him and asked some questions . To b continued.
