In the providence of God it came to pass that the health of Dom- inie Schaff failed. Th : doctors Raid that he must go to she mountains.

Therefore th.: Dominie re- signed his pastorate a d sought the curative forces of the mountains. It was July when h Dame to the farmhouse that offered him a _ home.

' When Dominie Schaff carne to farmhouse, he found a leasant, monions family that did rave, faith daily work for the necessi ies of life. farm high on the mounta•ne was no piece of property that ma y folks wo care to own and cultivate. The rngg bit of earth yielded its cropa grudging But the land was cheap, and Hes Ripley gladly bought it. The three boys were respects eleven, thirteen, and fifteen years age. They had taken sole charge of t farm during their father's illness. - was evident to .the mot superfic observer that they were made of go . material. Dominie Schaff, was the ful when he thought upon the possibi ties touching these fresh, Strong, you ful hearts.

The atmosphere of the farm house became academic. Work wa shirked ; no duty went unheeded tit the press` of time was keenly fel and study was sometimes continued f 'nto the night. When winter came, the 'isolation o the family was perfect. For weeks at time all communication with the out side world was next to impossible. Th o.ntine work of each' day was = speedii one, when theme three boys seized thei and laboriously mastered thei onten:ts. And what delightful even ngs they spent with the Dominie 1 Th torm hovered above the farmhous he -rude blasts threatened to overwhel hem, but they remained brave, . studi sus and happy.

They wer iving with the great spirits of all time he thoughts; of wise men, the deeds' ighty leaders, fired 'their souls, and i f:troduced them into the higher realm f human existence. Meanwhile the Dominie continned t prove in health. When the summer awned he sought the fields. with the boys. He plowed and sowed and culti gated. The bi=rds brought a message to ism. The whispering leaves, the shat - ring chipmunks, the murmuring -s earns, all nature, held sweet and h pfal communion with him. The World became another world, and he b Tame its interpreter to the boys. The intellectual growth of .the Dond- e pupils was phenomenal, but it seely kept pace with i.ts spiritual. development. How gently the good an led them into the ways .of faith 1 Baia own religious life was of that sweet, cheerful, pervasive character that rend- ers. a man irresistible. He was one of those men whose influences quicken the best part of human nature. You could net stand in his presence without gain- ing somewhat of inspiration from him. In his frequent talks with the boys he was so honest, manly, natural, direct, that they listened to him with tender sympathy even when' his theme was p rsonal religion. Great changes were ought in the household. The father so ght the truth diligently in the many b , : ks that Dominie Schaff recommend.. to him. The mother became trust - fu pious and serene. The boys Learned th t the great joys of life are the ont- o° a of a deep religious experience. - In this happy relation Dominie Schaff lived more than two years' with the family of the mountain farm. So fax as the boys were concerned it seemed a fruitful sojourn ; but no one can know the grief and disappointment that lived in the young minister's heart. He was in a sphere of great usefulness when disease touched his frail body.
