Clayton ' holdout his hand, and Dr. Bruce grasped ' it and shook it hard. After a little ho I wont away, but it was a long time aft- | erward that he learned all tho truth j about the struggle that Clayton had known It was only a part of the his- | tory that belonged to Nazareth Avenue i church since that memorable morning ' ' when tlie Holy Spirit sanctioned the . Christlike pledge. Not even the bishop and Dr Bruce, moving as they now did j m the very presence itself of divine imI pulses, knew yet that over the whole j sinful city the Spirit was brooding with j mighty eagerness. waiting for the disciples to arise to the call of sacrifice and suffering, touching hearts long dull and ! cold, making business men and money 1 makers uneasy in their absorption by , the one great struggle for more wealth and stirring through the church as 1 never in all the city's history the church had been moved. Tho bishop and Dr Bruce had already seen some wonderful 1 j things in their brief life at the settlej incut. They were to see far greater soon, more astonishing tevelations of the Divine power than they had supposed possible in this ago of the world. Within a month the saloon nest the settlement was closed. Tho saloon keeper's lease b ad expired, and Clayton not only closed, the property to the whisky men. but offered the uso of the building to tho bishop and Dr. Bruco for the settlement work, which had new grown so large that the bnilding was not sufficient for the different industries that were planned. One of the most important of these was tho pare food department suggested by Felicia. It was not a month after Clayton turned the saloon property over to the settlement that Felicia found herself installed in the Vf-VV inmn wliov.) tvullo 1?..<1 Kann 1 /.of head of a department not only of cooking, but of a conrto of housekeeping for gii Is wlr> wished to go out tf service hlio wa?. now a resident of the sell lenient !ind found a homo with Mrs. Bruce mid the other young women from the city whet wero residents.

She developed wonderful powers of per suasion and taught her girls with a ton isliing rapidity to do all sorts of housework. in time the graduates of Felicia's cooking school came to be prized by housekeepers all over the city. But that is anticipating our story The hi.-Tory of the settlement has never yet been written When it is. Felicia's part will be found of very great importance Tim rif ? {> ?<>? f-.miJ presenting. as every great city of the world presents, to the eyes of Christendom that marked contrast between riches and poverty, between culture refinement. luxury. ease and ignorance, depravity, destitution and the bitter struggle for bread It was a hard winter. but a gay winter Never had there been such a succession of parties, receptions. balls, dinners, banquets, fetes, gayeties; never had the opera and the theater been so crowded with fashionablo audiences; never had there been such a lavish display of jewels and fine dresses and equipages, and. on the other hand, never had the deep want and suffering been so cruel, so sharp, so murderous; never had the winds blown so chilling over the lake and through the thin shells of tenements in the neighborhood of the settlement; never had the pressure for food and fuel and clothes been so urgently thrust up against the people of the city in their i most importunate end ghastly form Night aft -r night the bishop and It Uruee. with their helpers, went out 1 ! helped to save nu n and women s:d ! children from the torture of physical I privation V';,; t quantities of food and cl thing an.1 la rite sums of money #i;v i donated h\ the churches, the chari'.i'le : societies, the civic authorities and the benevolent associations, but the tier-, .n >1 | tench of the Christum disciple whs very . haul to secure for personal wovli I Where was the ni.-ripleship that was o<>? yin t!i Ma-der s command to: <>' i t , self to the softening and give itself with its gift, in order to make the gi t of | valae in ti as to come?

Ho was bearing his cross with joy, but ho burned and fought within over the shifting of personal love by the many upon tho hearts of the few And still, silently, powerfully, resistlessly, tho Holy Spirit was moving through the church upon even the nris tocratic. wealthy, easo loving members, who shunned tho terrors of the social problem as they would shun n con tagions disease. This fact was impressed upon the bishop and the settlement workers in a startling way one morning Perhaps no one incident that winter shows more plainly how much of a momentum hud already grown out oF the movement of Nazareth Avenue church and the action of Dr. Brnee and the bishop that followed the pledge to do as Jesus would do The breakfast hour at the settlement was the one hour in the day when the whole resident family found a little breathing space to fellowship together It was an hour of relaxation There was a great deal of good naturod repartee and much real wit and enjoyable fun at this hour The bishop told his best stories Dr Bruce was at his best in anecdote This company of disciples U'ijs healthily humorous in spite of the utujospJieye of sorrow that constantly rurrounded them In fact, the bishop often said that the faculty of humor was as (4od given, as any other, and in j;,a ywn c.*vv.? it was the only safety valve h<? had for tho tremendous press ure cut upon him Tlks particular morning the bi?hop was reading extracts from a morning j.i,gov f'.r the heuefit of the others.
