The four years he spent the fitting school were apparently evotee than wasted, Again and again the head master called this ultruly boyeto his study, and, gravely and gently reproved and admonished him. Some- times he prayed with the wayward boy. All was to no purpose. Then the lad went to the college and cone tinted his thoughtless career for more than a year. SuddenlY a great change came. Some one noted the fact that this change wee coincident with the death of the head Mail' ter in the school where the boy had fitted for college. After about a year of self -training the young man timidly asked to be allowed to prepare himself for joining the church, Strangely enough he insisted upon going back to his old schoOl, the scene of hill boyish extravagences and folly, and there joining the church he had once openly When asked why he did so, he answered with unsteady lips and swimming eyes " There was a good man.
