SYNOPSIS
PART ONE
CHAPTER I.—At a merry party in
the atudlo apartment of Carter Blake,
in New York, Jerry Harmer, Prudence's
daughter, meets Duane Allerton,
wealthy Idler. He becomes slightly In
toxicated, and Jerry, resenting his as
sumption of familiarity, leaves the
party abruptly.
CHAPTER II.—The story turns to
Jerry's childhood and youth at Jier
home In De» Moines. Only child of a
wealthy father, when shd Is twenty she
feels the call of Art, and her parents,
with some misgivings, agree to her go
ing to New York to study.

Ity, not in the least/’ she assured
them^ “But I want to be thrown on
niy own, you know—I want to be ^ree.”
She crossed the room to the goldeh
cage where a golden canary sang
blithely In the sunshine. She opened
the door. Upon the Instant the bird
leaped out Into to brightness of the
room, and circled once about It, with
a brave flashing of its yellow wings.
“Like that,” Jerry said. “He wants
to be free.”
The bird flew contentedly back Into
its golden cage.
Then Jerrold, the father of .Terry,
walked slowly across to the cage, his
hand outstretched to close the tiny
door. But before he could lay- his
Anger upon It the flashing hit of gold
leaped out Into the brightness of the
room, and then back at once into the
familiar conflnes of the cage, still with
his sharp eyes on Jerrold’s hand, to
make a dash'tor freedom at his slight
est movement toward that door. Again
and again he reached toward It, »nd
•ach time the bird leaped out tv fro*
dum. And each time returned quickly
to the spacious, cage,
“h isn’t freedom Itself that he
wants,” said Jerry’s father gravely.
“He doesn’t know what freedom Is.
He likes the cage much better than
the open spaces, but he hates that
closed door. He Is glad to come hack
to the cage, but he wants to think he
is free. Is it the same with you,
JerryT“ < —
“You can be free here, Jerry, if
that’s all you want,” Prudence put In
quickly. "Do what you wish, go where
you wish, think what—"
Jerry shook her lovely head, smiling.
"Perhaps you do not do it on pur
pose,” she said. "But you are a closed
door, mother, and you can’t help It.
Prudence either by name or nature Is
• restraint—no fault of yours, you
understand.”
Jerry was vastly pleased with her
decision to study art. Art seemed of
all things Iq the world the most glam
orous avenue to life. She hud always
taken a pleasant interest In pictures,
and In college ' had been quite a fa
vorite In the grt department, where
her work both In water colors and In
oils, with somewhat of Judicious over
sight by a friendly Instructor in the
department, had received warm praise.
Perhaps, however, she was a little
troubled in the secret places of her
own heart, for she reverted to the sub
ject many times ever} 1- day, although
It was already fully settled she should
go.
“One. has to do something, you
know,” she said. “One Isn’t born Just
for the sake of living and dying and
getting It over with. One has to do.
something!”
“Of course!” Prudence was very
positive In her agreement.
“Give you a Job In the plant any
time you say," her father offered
quickly, who as president of one of
the largest motor corporations In the
Middle West was In a position to in
dulge In such largess If he chose.
“You don’t understand, father," sh%
said patiently. “Taking a Job from
• good worker who needs it to give to
a poor one who does not need It, will
never solve any labor questions. It
isn't a matter of physical labor* you
know. It's adding to the general rich
ness of the world—It's putting somo-
thing of yourself Into circulation."
“Don't got yon.” Jerrold was frank
ly pussled.
*1—1 think I know what you mean,”
Prudence said pleasantly.
“Oh, no, yon don't, mother, 1 * Jerry
contradicted promptly, with laughing,
tender eyee—not rudely. Jerry was
obliged to. contradict her mother many,
many times, bnt it was always with
laughing tendemaaa that she did. “You
just aay so because yon think It to
your duty, having me for a daughter,
to try to account tot my fooUshneaa.”
Prudence blushed.
T
derly. “You’re Just siding with ms
to make father, ashamed of himself,
’on think It makes me less ridiculous
when you agree with me." t
Pfttdeii&e blushed- again.
Prudence, at forty^four, * with a
daughter twenty years old, was but a
deepens*!, sweetened,^ softened mold
ing of the Prudenqy wbxLat nineteen
had taken such pay and
charge of the parsonage,
houseful of younger girls,
gentle father. So slender she was
now as to appear almost frail, and
sne was very pole, with but the slight-'
est hint of rose In her lips, the lips
that had (the old whimsical, humorous
droop of her girlhood days. In spite
of the delicate frailty of her face and
ngure, and the pallor of her creamy
skin, Prudence did not look her years,
nor did her appearance in any way
suggest *the dignity of a growh-up
daughter to her credit, even with the
humorous depth of understanding and
the warmth of sympathy that showed
In every word and gesture! Pyudence
at any age would be ageless,-eW and
young, with the youth that has seen
both heights and depths, and trembled
with great emotions, the age that de
fies time with a dauntless bravado
and a glad acceptance.
To Prudence sometimes, looking
backward, It seemed a long way shs
had come from the cares and the re
sponsibilities of that simple parsonage
life. Times had changed, conditions,
interests had changed. It seemed to
Prudence that she alone remained
steadfast and the same. ' Her father
had died ten years before, and after
that Aunt (irace. with Carol and Car
ol’s baby, continued on In the horns
they had chosen In Mount Mark, re
maining there to be near Lark and
Jim, on their rich, far-rea^hlng farm.
Aunt Grace had'Hngered hut a few
years longer, and then slipped on into
the shadows, having left the full ol
her modest means to Carol, thevpnlj
one of the parsonage girls to be left
alone and without resources. Fairy
and Gene, the college lover who be
came her husband, had suffered a long
series of financial reverses In their
effort to forge to the front, but finally,
after so many years, were comfortably
settled In Chlcsgo, seeming at last te
have exhausted trfelr store of 111 for

frowning, with' questioning eyes.
When she was alone Vflth her rathSTf’
she said confidentially : —,

She's had too much experience. After
bringing up that whole crowd In the
parsonage, how can one lone daughter
hope to he a match for her? I seem
to be getting my owns way, but I think

The. letter from Rlioda La Faye, In

meet Jerry, to assist her in every pos
sible way, and happily she knew Just
the idace for her ; right down in Green
wich Village on Reilly’s alley ’ with
Mlml Delaney, a particular friend of
Rhoda's own, who was letting rooms
to students. She premised to meet
Jerry at the station, add^th be entire
ly her slave and handmaiden until she
was properly domiciled In the big city.
And begged her please to excuse the
haste of

Jerrold was not plegsed—he did not

Jerry’s plan to study art was “all
piffle.” And when he was alone with
Prudence at night, an*) grieving over
her restlessness, her sleepless hours,
he expressed himself very forcibly on
the subject of daughters. . ^
“It’s selfishness," he said, Jerry’*
place Is here with you. She has no
business going off to New York or any
place else. A daughter’s place Is with
her mothert"
“Why, Jerrold? Why should we ex
pect her to live our life, Just ,because
she is our daughter?”
“Why? Because she Is our daugh
ter, that’s why! IHdn’t we bring, Rm,
Into the world? Didn’t we raise her?
Didp’t—" ’ 1
“Yes, but we did It to please our
selves, didn’t we? Jerry certainly
didn’t have much to say about it?”
“A child.” he said didactically,
“owes its parents everything In the
world, owes It—’
“Love,” said Prudence softly. “Just
love. Nothing else. And that’s
enough, Jerrold, If we’ve done our
part.” %
The great. I6vely hquae was vastly
confused In those days, with the pack
ing of Jerry's clothes and boogs and
the thousand pretty, intimate things
a young student of art would be sure
to want In a strange, big city. And
there were dressmakers thrumming
steadily away on their machines, turn
ing out new gowns, new suits, new
wraps, for Jerry to wear in her pur
suit of Art.
“Urn. I think you’d hotter draw It
in more about the hips.” Jerry's criti
cal young voice floated out to her
father, where he sat staring at the
newspaper-that he did not see. They
were going to miss Jerry! After col
lege, he had thought it was all over,
that Jerry's future 'was ended with
her education, and they jvere all to
settle down to the joy of home, and
having a daughter In It.
Jerrold sighed. ‘ ~ "

of the sisters, Con-
who had astounded them all
by abandoning her dreams of literary
fame to marry her prince among cow
boys, Martin Ingram, had never re
gretted her judgment. Martin’s vast
and barren Arizona acres had been
found to overlay an Inexhaustible
treasure bouse of oil, and Connie and
her husband with their two small chil
dren were now living In affluence, ant^
better still. In matchless domestk
bliss. In Englewood, one o^ the most
charming suburbs of New York.
Jenvld was consoling himself with
the knowledge that this level-headed
and serene young auntie, supported by
an imperturbable husband, would be
at hand to see to willful Jerry on her
nrrlviri ip the terrible city.
“We ii^ust write to Connie at once,”
he said cbrnphicentlj.
Jerry was quick to protest. “Now,
father, please! Is that your Idea of t0 b * ashamed of It. Is that better,
freedom? Why, If I go to Englewood j
to settle down with Aunt Connie I
1 mast go to Now York to itudy art 1
*T never agreed to any. such thing,"
■aid Jerrold flatly.
*1—1 did,” said Prudence weakly.
Jerry laughed softly at her toother.
"Ift* didst. tRhfr." denlgd-ten-
mlght as well move Into a parsonage
and be dohe with it! Freedom! Of
course I shalk visit them very often,
but I shall not Ttvo with them, by any
means. And 1 think we’d better not
tell her I am comlhg until I am all
nicely settled and running on my own.
Then she can’t talk me out of It, and
all those Starr girls are knch good
talkers.”
To Jerrold’s surprise, Prudence
agree*! to this drastic inhibition.
"I mui^ be Independent, you see,”
Jerry explained^ —■
“Of course," assented Prudence.
“I think I shall write to Rhoda La
Faye, and ask her to get me a little
studio apartment near her.”
“Rhoda — Rhoda La I^aye — who’*
that?" Jerrold wanted toknow.
<d‘Oh, she’s a girl 1 knew In college."
“Rhoda— See here, Jerry, you don't
mean the girl who—”
“Rhoda was a very nice girl If she
was expelled,” Jerry said. “She—she
was a little too—well, emancipated for
Iowa, perhaps, but there was nothing
In the least had about her. She was
a very talented girl, and now she has
a studio In New York, and has Illus
trations in the very best magazines,
and everything. She cun help me a
great deal, I should Imagine.”
“Well, I am certainly not In favor—"
Jerrold had assumed his most pa*er»
nally dictatorial voice.
"I am,” Interrupted Prudence quick
ly. “I am most heartily In favor of It.
Rhoda was not at all an evil-minded
person, Just mischievous, a* I remem
ber It, and her experience will be of
great value to Jerry."
“What was she fired for, anyhow?”
Jerrold wanted to know, moodily, feel-
In the handicap of hla position bo-
tween the two of them.
"Oh, a perfectly ridiculous thing,”
explained Jerry lightly. .. “She did
some illustrations In the college mag
azine, and they were a little—,
advanced, you might My, and Rhoda
Mid they ‘were artistic, and she
wouldn’t apologise, and a few other
things UkO that. But, father, no one
could aay Rhoda La Faye was not n
gening!” ^ -
“And of course,” Prudence went on,
aa s though it were all her own idea
, AnwhA _ thmt 10 b *^ n w,th * “ no one c °uld expect
like that to plod along here In Iowa
like the ordinary daughters of farmers
•nd ministers ahd merchants! And

am sure"
Jerry looked at her mother keqnly,

York to study nrt! y her father broke
In almost peevishly.’
“Uin. I am,” assented Jerry absent
ly. “But mother and I know, whether
you do or not, that the more yoa
know about men the faster you pro
gress in art.”
“Yes, of course," said Prudence.
That night, when Jerry had gono
Upstairs, Prudence sat on the arm of
her husband's chair, slipping lower
and lower beside him, until her face
was buried against his shoulder.
\V;Well, you were nil for- her going,-
so I suppose It’s settled," he said
dully. / ,
"Yes^Jt’s settled.”. Prudence’s voice
was muffled,
“Well, yoh want her to go, ’don't
you?” X
“Yes, of course, I want her to go."
There was a sob In Prudence’s throat.
“Well, then I supWse you’re sat
isfied." X
■* “Y-yes, I’m satisfied.” ^prudence’s
shoulders rose and fell, heavHIv, and
she pressed her face more deeply
against his shoulder.
Then Jerrold drew her quickly ahout
on his knees, until she was huddled
In his arms, heart-broken, sobbing,
like a child, although a woman past
forty with a grownup daughter going
away. , ■ —
“Don’t cry, Prudence,” he said, hold
ing her very close to him, his own
eyes wet.
Presently she lifted her face, stained
wkh tears, and laughed at h$r fool
ishness. and patted away her tears
with a filmy bit of lace and soft linen
ridiculously serving as a handkerchief.
After that there was nothing for
Jerrold to do bnt procure the tickets
for Jerry, look after the checking of
her baggage, and aee that she had
money enough for her needs. And
nothing for Prudence to do^but take
her daughter in her anna—and let
her go.

Having shown In chapters S and 4
of this epistle that thp believer to
free from the law as a means of jms-
'tiflcatlon, Paul makes practical appIL
cation of this tfoctjSbe.
I. Christian Freedom (vv. 13-15).
I. It is Nof'^to Occasion to the
“Flesh” (v. 13). ^
Liberty is not license. Ylje notion
that when one Is free from the. law
he Is free from constraint. Is wickedly^
erroneous. License of the flesh means
not merely the Indulgence of the flesh
In actual material sins, bar In the ex
pression of a self-centered life In'bit
ing and devouring one another (vi 15).
Bickering among Christians to an ex;
jainple thereof. ,
Z By Love, Serving One -Another
(▼. 18).
Freedom from the Mosaic law means
slavery to The law of love. “The
emerging from bondage through Christ
-Is the passing Into a sphere of ll^e
In whl£h all the powers, should act
under the dominion of the true motive,
love."—Morgan. *
II. Walking in the Spirit (v. 16-18).
This discloses the secret <?f how a
life of service to another can be lived.
The governing principle in the life
of a believer Is the Holy Spirit. Walk
ing In the Spirit results Inr • .•
1. Loving Service to Others (v. 13).
2. Victory Over the Flesh (w. 16-
17).
By the flesh- Is meant the* corrupt
nature of . man expressing Itself in the
realm of sense and self. The renewed
man becomes two men between whom
a mortal conflict to going on. The
Cluistian must choose between good
and evil. When he chooses theeevil,
the Holy Spirit opposes, and when he
chooses the good the flesh opposes.
Notwithstanding this deadly conflict,
victory is sure If one chooses the
good.
III. The Works of the Flesh (w.
19-21).
By works of the flesh Is meant the
operation of the carnal nature. The
one who chooses to live a*wr<llng to
the impulses apd desires of his natu
ral heart will be practicing the foL
lowing sins.
1. Sensuality (v. 19).
The sins enumerated here are prac
tised In the sphere of the bodjr and
are: .
(1) Fornication. (The word “adult
ery” Is omitted from the best manu
scripts.) - -
(2) Uncleanness. This includes ^11
sensual sins, open or secret, thought
or deed.
(3) Lasciviousness. This means the
wanton reckless indulgences In the
shameful practices o? the flesh.
2. Irrellglon (v. 20).
These acts take placa In the realm
of the spirit and are:/
- (1| jinnirr WWWy means the wor
shiping of idols.
(2) Witchcraft or Sorcery. Thin
means all dealing with the oecr’t such
as magical arts, etc. '
3. Sins of the Temper (ev. 20-21.
These take place In the sphere of,
the tnind and are: ^
(1) Hatred.
(2) Variance, which means strife.
(3) Emulations, jealousy.
(4) Wrath, bursts of passions.
.(5) Seditions, factions In the state.
Heresies, factions In the church.
(7) Envying*
(5) Mnrders.
\ 4. Sins of Excess (v. 21).
fl) Drunkenness. This means In-
dulgepce in Intoxicating liquors.
(2) Revellngs, acts of dissipation
under tub Influence of Intoxicants.
IV. The Vnilt of the Spirit (v. 22-
24). \
This Indicates iK^Ion In the realm of
life, the product of the Holy Spirit
indwelling the believer. * >
1. Love, to God and man.
2. Joy, glad-heartedness because of
what God has done.
3. Peace with God and fellowman.
4. Longsuffering, taking insult and
Injury without murmuring.
5. Gentleness, kindness to others.
S. Goodness, doing good (o others.
7. Faith, believing God and commit
ting all to Him.
8. Meekness, submission to God.
