ed beyond pardon, there was no hop .y
for him. he thowht. How wretched F
he was! How he wished he had gone h<
some other street and not strayed sh
here and been lured in by that half w
forgotten :song.
The services were nearly over. :
The good old deacon had prayed a a
touchinig prayer: ot.hiers had senit up)
sweepinz pet itionls that took in the mi
whnole worild and no one in parie
ular 'but as inpellled by In irresist- !I
ible power. the tramp had each time ai1
gone down on his knees and 'baried
his ? ce in his arms. he
."I want us to sing a song of in
Titation :tow.'' said the preachir. ar
lpoking 'tra' h: into tho eves of the
tramp. "and if there are any here sa
who wan: to turn hack and take the fo
road that leads to heaven. we want fo
th.m to come forward.'' and there w]
was a tender tone and touching ca- .
dence in the words. "God knows fil.
my heart-I want to be a help to g,
this. people. I do wish that this sh
night I might be the instrument in se
His hands- by whieh some poor m
soul could be made to see the Light.
Anything that I can do. any word pi
that I can bring, anything-any- t
'thing. but oh! let. me do something :
to glorify my Father this night. la
Young man, young lady. sinner, will
you eon'e to Jesus tonight?'' Tire a
choir sang:
"Why do' you wait. dear brother,
Oh, why do you tarry so long? he
Your Savior is waiting to give you
A place in his sanctified throng. is]
Do you not feel, dear brother, w4
His Spirit now striving within? ac
Oh, why not accept his salvation, h:
And throw off thy burden of sin?'' ov
Many eves were wet with tears sp
and many went up for prayer. The n
tramp. wretched rnd undone, touched sp
as he had never been before, half ha
rose to go forward. forgetful of his
filthly appearance. Bit the Devil gl
poked his head in at the door in the
guise of a- ci""- tte fiend and spoke du
in a loud w,. er: "Look at that fr
darned hobo, will you! Blamed if he
ain't fixing to -tart on the hunt for fri
religion, an' he's rigged up for tie
occasion too!" And the poor fellow yo
san'k back in his seat, wretched and gr
undone. sy
'Ha! ha!'' laughed the Devil,
"he's changed his notion and conclu- fin
ded that. he ain't the dear brother an
thalt they atre fishin' fer. G~osh! an
wouldn't he have be'en a purty spec
tacle in the altar. Wohnder how fri
many petitions .wouHl have been sent ho
up in behalf of such a filthy bundle a
of rags?"'' if
The preacher had seen and under- we
stood all. It was nothing unusual
to see 'a man weigh his soul in the "
~ balances with ridicule, but oh, it1 ,in1
wos awful. A little widow too, with1 do
sweet sad face and hair streaked fill
with gray, glanced at the tramp oc
casionaly, her heart filled with pity. m
Somewvhere in the wide world her S&
first born was roaming and was per- a
haps in just such destitute circum- co:
stances; perhaps he. too. was dirty, th
ragged, wvretc.hed, pennilCss.- friend- th
less and a stranger in a -trange land. y
Perhaps he was sick with not a soul
to minister to his needs. u
Oh. how her heart had ible-how (do
she had praycf for her wayward p
bov, trusting that in the sad school~
of ex . .'ienee he weuld learn -that 'kii
horse was the best place after a-ll
and thet he would rep?fnt and re- at
turn.' She had heard nothing from tu:
him now in almost -a year. but she wi
was sure that he still lived; had he thi
died her heart would have told her, bhi
she believed. He was now twenty- me
one and'had been gone five years. st2
And some where, if living, som~e
other mother's heart 'was aching for to
this lost tramp, prayinx th.at God a
would protect and save him. He, too, ou
looked to be about the same age of Imn
the absen~t Jamie. Oh, why would "4(
young men, the hope of the country, Ith.
fall so low? she wondered. Hlow
was it that a m'an made in the image pr
of God, and ereated but a little low~-a
er t.han the angels--given every ad- sea
vantage of intellhet. conscience, hope to
ani aspiration-how was it that he hii
could fall so low? The little woman I his
ihed. "Ah me, we don't know to
ov" they were tempted or what we th;
- wdd have done had we been sub- wi
'jetel to the same temptations.'' vo
All who have read the Bible, have syi
perha s been puzled oveg the "1
stranp~. fact that bits of Sc.ripture
'read yars ago and seemingly for- Fe
otten 'ill at tinies return to mem
ory. witi startling idistinctbiveness To

go ye and lea1 what that meaneth. e
I will have m&ay and not sacrifice; ne
for I am not ene to call the right- w
-os but sinne t in pentance.''"
She glanced again toward the
an.p and was prompted by the 11o
Spirit to do an un1usial t hin.

Suddenly the little woman's eyes
