Iam here as president of this court to pass on the evidence as it has been placed before me, and no matter what the result ay be, I shall always hope and believe that this brother will remain my friend. We must now proceed to a consideration of the case.” The Rev. Crabtree Cunningham, who had been straining his face for- ward to listen to what his friend said, now sank back in his seat. His wife, faithful to the end, sat next to him and fanned him vigorously. The court of inquiry filed out upon its solemn mission. The Rev. Cunningham’s attorney touched him on the arm. “Come,” he said. “It is all over but the verdict.” xs ek ® One week later, in the parsonage that had been occupied by the Rev. Crabtree Cunningham, there were signs of unusual excitement. Several moving vans were in front. The only room in the house that had remained undisturbed was the study, and it was into this study that the young minister came and put his arm around his wife, who was standing leaning over the desk absently arranging some clippings. “Well,” he said, “it’s all over with. I knew, of course, that they would pronounce me guilty. But do you know, my dear, it was worth it.” She turned her face and looked at him inquiringly. “Why was it worth it?” she said. “It was worth it,” he replied, “because I have learned one of the greatest truths that this life can give to me, and I have learned it in the only that it could be learned.” “What have you learned ? A smile of ineffable satisfaction came over his face. Absently his hand went forward and grasped a cigarette that was lying on the desk. “T have learned,” he said, “that it isn’t what men believe that counts. Ir is only what they profess to believe.” His wife looked at him and smiled. “My dear,” she said, “I could have told you that long ago if, instead of praying so much during the week I was away, you had only sent for me and asked me the question.” ° Every Ambitious Young Man Should read the article on Thrift, written by DR. ORISON SWETT MARDEN, Editor of Success This is just an excerpt on Inducing the Habit of Saving “ ANYTHING which will encourage the habit of saving in this extravagant age is 2 blessing, ‘The temptations on every hand aze s0 alluring that & ia very diftcuk for a young man of ordinary selt-control to resist them and to save his money. *T believe that life-insurance is doing more to induce the habit of saving than almost anything else. T know of nothing which will cover up more blemishes, put out of sight more business weaknesses, cover up more surely the lack of foresight and thrift than a good life-insurance policy. It has proven a friend to thousands who have not been friends to themselves. It has shielded thousands ot families who would have been homeless without it; it has sent to college multitudes of boys and gitls who but for it would not have gone; it has started thousands of young men in business who, but for it, cabes would nat have started at all, oe would have heve been delayed for year. lt has lifted the mortgage from thousands of homes.” This article should be read from Start to finish by every young man.
