The question with me ia largely ouo of support from the Christian people of Raymond. There are over UO.COO church members hero in the city. If half of them will stand by The News, its life is assured. What do yon think, Maxwell, is tho probability of such support?" "I don't know enough nbout it to give an intelligent answer. I believo in tho paper with all my heart. If it lives a year, as Miss Virginia said, there is no telling what it can do. Tho great thing will bo to issue such a paper, as near as wo can judge, as .Tesus probably wa?ld and put into it all tho elements of Christian brains, strength, intelligence and 6cnso and command respect by tho absence of bigotry, of fanaticism, narrowness and anything else that is contrary to tho spirit of Jesus. Such a paper will cull for the best that human thought and action are capablo of giving. The greatest minds in tho world | would have their powers taxed to the utmost to issuo a Christian daily.

"I think wo nro beginning to understand," said Virginia, "the meaning of lhat command, 'Grow in tho grace and knowledge or our L<ord nlid Saviour Jesus Christ.' I am sure I do not know all that he would do in detnil until 1 know him better." "That is very true," said Henry Maxwell. "lam becinniner to understand that I cannot interpret the probablo action of Jesns until I know better what his spirit is. To my mind the greatest question in all of human life ia summed up when we ask, 'What would Jesns do?' if as wo ask it we also try to answer it from n growing knowledge of Jesus himself. Wo must know Jesus before wo can imitate him." vvnen tno arrangements hail l>cen made between Virginia nnd Edward Norman, ho found himself in possession of tho sum of $.">00,000. exclusively his to uso for the establishment of a Christian daily paper. When Virginia nnd Henry Maxwell had gone, Norman , closed his door and, alone with the Divine presence, asked like a child for help from his all powerful Father All J through his prayer us ho kneeled beforo his desk ran tho promise, "If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of Go<l, who givetli to all men liberally and upbraideth not, and it shall be given him." Snrely his prayer would be answered and tho kingdom be advanced through thiB instrument of God's power. this mighty press which had becomo go largely degraded to the base uses of man's avarice and ambition.

There was a siekly baby with the mother?three other children, one a cripple. The father, who had been out of work until ho had been, as he afterward confessed to Maxwell, several times on the verge of suicide, sat with the baby in his arms during the journey, and when Maxwell started back to Raymond after seeing the family settled the man held his hand at pur ting and choked with iiis utterance and finally broke down, to Maxwell's grent confusion The mother, a wearied, wornout woman, who had lost three children the year before from a fever icourgo in tlie Rectangle. ?at by the tar window all the way ana drank in tlio d: lights of sea and shy and field.

"It is a fact," ho said in reply to several inquiries on the part of his church, "I do not feel in need of a vacation this year. I am vcrj' well and prefer to stay hero." It was with a feeling of relief that ho succeeded in concealing from isvevy one but his wife what ho had ilono villi this other family. Ho felt the need of doing anything of that sort w ithout display or approval from others. So tbo summer cauio on, and II'. ury Ma::well grow into larger knowledge of bin Lord.
