CHAPTER IV.
Allan Rutledge looked around in ad
miration.
"You have a fine den here, my broth
er," he exclaimed.
"Still, I am often lonely here," an
swered the other, with sudden pen
siveness. "I seem like a hermit shut
up in my cell. When I want a real
sermon I have to go out among the
people who are fighting life's battles.
Since my return from Europe I have
been studying the social question with
a new enthusiasm. I was formerly In
terested in Biblical criticism, aud I
learned German so that I might read
the authorities in Germany more readi
ly, but my visit to Europe has entirely
changed my outlook."
"What do you mean?" asked Allan
Rutledge.
"In Europe, to my surprise, I found
the leading thinkers and scholars turn
ing their attention more and more to
the matter of social reform. In such
matters Europe is far in advance of
America. Some of the recent legisla
tion in Germany and England would
be called rank socialism with us."
"You mean the laws giving the gov
ernments control of monopolies and
the legislation providing for state in
surance, old age pensions, minimum
wage and such like?"
"Yes," answered Mr. Townley. "I did
not know you were Interested In these
things at all. I am delighted to know
it Do you know I think that the
^churc must stand still until we can
Christianize our social institutions in
America? J. have been, devoting more

Townley a few days later on
meeting Allan Rutledge. "1
do not see Mr. Nelson very much. He
has become a member of your church,
has he not?"
"No," responded Allan. "I do not
seem to be able to get him to con
sent to a public avowal of his faith
in Christianity, but he is a regular at
tendant at the church and he mingles
to a certain extent among our young
people."
"I have a peculiar interest in the
young man," said Mr. Townley. "He
came to Bronson at my invitation in
the first place, and I feel that there is
moral power in him if it could find an
outlet"
"He has accepted a new position
which he assumes the first of the year,"
answered the other. "He told me yes
terday that he is going into the office
of the Courier on Jan. 1, and he will
be the city reporter."
"Good!" exclaimed Mr. Townley en
thusiastically. "That Is a better place
for him than the railroad office. We
shall hear from him in the newspaper
world, I predict"
Having reached the People's church,
Mr. Townley unlocked a side door and
ushered his friend into his handsome
study.

and more thought to this phase' of the
work of the church. We have been
spending too much time with the in
dividual and overlooking our duty to
society."
"There is truth in your statement
that we need social reforms in our
American life," answered Allan Rut
ledge earnestly. "I have studied the
subject of sociology for years, and ever
since my college days I have been con
vinced that our economic world needs
to be saved. The church, the school
and politics have all been democratized
and Christianized in our modern life,
but the business world of modern times
is neither democratized nor Christian
ized."
"Those are exactly my .beliefs," re
plied Mr. Townley enthusiastically. "I
have just been reading in regard to
that Investigation in Pennsylvania,
where the great steel industry has a
plant The report showed the darker
side of our prosperous country." He
took up a pamphlet, from which be
read:
"'Here are the facts about the big
strike in Pennsylvania. Nine thousand
men are employed in the immense
plant making steel for a wealthy cor
poratlon which is paying 40 per cent
dividends. These enormous profits are
in part possible because more than
half of the*© workers toil twelve hours
a day, most of these working seven
days in the week. Over 30 per cent of
these men earn less than $1.68 for this
long day of labor. Three men protest
ed to the management against the Sun
day labor. They were at once dis
chaKged, and this caused the strike.
The wage scale makes the herding of
men together the only method of living
possible for them. Under such condi
tions decency is impossible, to say
nothing of Christianity.'
"A report like that," continued Mr.
Townley, "gives rise to serious
thought."
"My blood boils hottest," responded
Allan Rutledge. "when I learn of the
exploitation of women and children by
modern industry."
"That is just what we have on a
small scale here in Bronson," respond
ed Mr. Townley quickly. "I feel there"
is no regeneration possible for Bron
son until we have some social readjust
ments."
"You remember you diagnosed the
spiritual condition of Bronson for me
a few days after I arrived here," said
Allan Rutledge, changing the subject
"I remember our conversation very
well," said the other. "Have you
found my diagnosis correct?"
"Your diagnosis, according to my in
vestigations, was absolutely correct,"
said Allan Rutledge, with determina
tion. "I am now ready to apply the
remedy, and I propose to begin a cam
paign which will result in Branson's
regeneration."
Albert Townley stared at his com
panion.
"What is your plan?" he asked.
"Bronson needs new men more than
it needs anything else," responded Al
lan, with decision. "Otherwise we
need an old fashioned revival of real
religion. The first thing for us to do
is to unite our Protestant churches in
a genuine religious campaign. If you
can get the other churches in Bronson
to co-operate with the People's church
and the Central church I will guaran
tee a regeneration. Do you think you
can gain the co-operation of the other
Protestant churches?"
"Explain your plan further," said
Mr. Townley, with a perplexed look.
"If we do succeed in getting our Bron
son Protestantism united what do you
then propose?"
"Here is what I propose," said Allan
Rutledge. "We will build a tabernacle
capable of seating 10,000 people. We
will not build this tabernacle on the
top of any mount but right down in
.the valley among the common people.
Then we shall have a strong, capable
leader take charge of the situation for
five or six weeks, holding meetings in
the great tabernacle night after night,

I prayer meetings, shop meetings, street
saloon meetings and every
Christian activity of a spiritual
nature. At the end of the campaign
there will be a new atmosphere in
Bronson.**
"Who would you get as leader of
such a campaign? Will you undertake
It yourself
"I have the leader in mind, a per
sonal friend of mine, who was born
in Iowa not far from my own birth
place."
"Whom do you mean?" asked the
other.
"The Rev. William A. Sunday, bet
ter' known as Billy Sunday.**
Albert Townley Jumped to his feet.
"It. will never do, Rutledge. 1 have
read of some of this man's campaigns
and of their success, but it Is absurd
to think of bringing him to Bronson.
This is a peculiar community. Do you
think Messrs. Graham and March
mount would indorse such a move
ment?"
"Listen to me, my brother," began
Allan Rutledge. in earnest tones. "In
planning out this campaign I never
thought for a moment whether Graham
or Marchmount or any one else would
Indorse it except God Almighty. Did
you not assert yourself in your diagno
sis that the very fact that such men
ns Marchmount and Graham, men
without vital religion, controlled the
religious organizations of Bronson. was
the most damning fact in our church
life?
"You know something about Billy
Sunday, I expect?" asked Allan.
"I have never met him personally,"
said the other, "but I have often heard
him condemned by ministers and oth
ers. They say his methods and lan
guage are vulgar in the extreme."
"I have known Mr. Sunday since he
was one of our national baseball stars,"
said Allan Rutledge, seating himself
and turning to his companion. "1 was
only a boy then, but 1 remember how
proud we were of our Iowa baseball
champion. After bis conversion I lost
sight of him for some years, but when
he entered the religious held I hailed
him as a winner, for I knew that he
bad exactly what our age needs. He
"I have' never baok pedaled for the
devil yet."
has courage, determination, manhood
and dynamic energy. His so called
vulgarity Is only the vernacular of the
baseball diamond, and it is the every
day language of millions of Americans.
He does not need to use this language,
but he humbles himself to it in order
to reach the masses and save them.
His astounding success is proof of his
divine commission."
After a good deal of argument and
persuasion Albert Townley finally
agreed to visit the other ministers in
Bronson. with whom be had a large
influence, and seek to unite Bronson
Protestantism in a Billy Sunday cam
paign. Mr. Townley was surprised to
find that almost unanimously the other
ministers agreed that such a campaign
would be supported by them.
The result was that a meeting of the
ministers and some of the most spir
itual men in the churches was called.
The Central church was represented
at this meeting by Mr. Cameron. Mr.
Cameron had heard Billy Sunday and
was enthusiastic in favor of the plan.
"It will be just as Dr. Rutledge
says," he exclaimed. "If we arrange
for a big tabernacle and Invite Billy
Sunday to Bronson we will shake this
town from center to circumference,
and we need such a shaking.'*
Other laymen spoke in the same
strain. It was planned to present the
matter to the different churches the
following Sabbath. The proposed un
ion of the Protestant forces in a spir
itual campaign appealed to the individ
ual churches of all denominations, and
the ministers were astonished and
pleased to find out the amount of real
religious Interest which had been la
tent in their congregations.
Allan Rutledge made a visit to a
neighboring state, where Mr. Sunday
was conducting a campaign, and pre
vailed upon him to arrange for a meet
ing in Bronson.
"We need you in Bronson, Billy,"
said Allan Rutledge, with intense ear
nestness, "and God needs you."
"All right," was the ex-baseball
champion's characteristic remark. "Go
ahead and get up the tablernacle. I'm
ready to buck the gang in Bronson or
anywhere else. I have never back
pedaled for the devil yet, and I never
wilL"
As time went on and the prepara
tions for the building of the immense
tabernacle were begun there were
signs of anxiety among, certain of
Branson's citizens.
"Is this grafter, Billy Sunday, com
ing to Bronson?" said Bud McCrea to
Mr. Graham one day in the law office
of Millman & Graham. Bud McCrea
was the uncrowned king of Bronson.
He was the political boss. The man
seemed to feel a sense of injured dig
nity that it was proposed to inau
gurate a spiritual campaign without
first obtaining his consent
There was a scowl la his face* ,.
"Don't be afraid,'*' be replied Joking
!y. "Sunday is nothing but a clown,
and his circus performances here will
not amount to anything."
"I don't know about that," mid the
other seriously. "I have reports from
some places where he has been, and he
is a dangerous man. After his cam
paigns cities begin to 'clean up,* as
they call It, and we want none of that
kind of Sunday school business in
.Bronson."
"Well." responded the lawyer
must confess I knew nothing about it
until It had all been practically ar
ranged. Our new man at the Central
church seems to be at the bead of the
movement"
"I never liked that fellow, Rutledge,"
said McCrea. "He is one of those con
founded preachers who think they
ought to be Interfering with every
body's business."
"He did preach a strong temperance
sermon lately, I understand," said the
lawyer, "and spoke somewhat severely
about our saloon regulations, but he
will soon get tired of that kind of
thing. These new men need to be giv
en a little liberty, you know."
"I'll see the council and try to head"
the thing off," said McCrea as he arose'
to go. "The visit of such a grafter as"
Billy Sunday to Bronson is a disgrace.'*

THE NEWSPAPERS AND
BITION.
PROHI-
POOLED THE GOODHUE COUNTY
FARMER.
We notice the stock argument
against a dry county in the option
contest in Goodhue County, as ad
vanced by the wets, is that the far
mer would be a heavy loser on ac
count of the lessened consumption
of barley by the brewers, It is al
leged that the barley raising farmer
will be all but ruined if the county
should at some time go dry. What
bosh. Less than 2 per cent of the
grain crop is malted.—Litchfield In
dependent.
RED WING HAS NOTHING TO BE
PROUD OF.
Goodhue County stays wet, thanks
to Red Wing and Its breweries. This
means no change in three years and
by that time the whole state will pro
bably be dry. But Red Wing has
nothing to be proud of.—Preston
Times.
KING BOOZE IS TOTTERING.
Up to date fifty counties in Minne
sota are dry, 43 by the county option
route, three by local option and four
by Indian treaty. As there are only
86 counties in all, King Booze seems
to be tottering on his throne.—Anoka
Herald.
DOES PROHIBITION BREED BLIND
PIGS IN ST. PAUL?
Sheriff Wagner of St. Paul an
nounces that he is going to take se
vere measures against blind-piggers
in Ramsey County. What? Blind
pigs in that paradise of licensed
booze joints? No! It cannot be true.
For haven't we been told 4y the
booze papers that blind pigs exist on
ly in no license towns? The sheriff
in Ramsey county is going to make
a big bill of expense for the taxpayers
all for nothing.—St James Plaindeal
er.
THE PROHIBITION UMBRELLA.
Martin and all the other counties
will get in out of the wet when, two
or three years hence, the. state raises
the big prohibition umbrella.—Martin

HOW ABOUT IT, SAM?
Gordon in his Interlake Tribune.
We have noticed more newspapers
take a stand editorially for state
wide prohibition this summer than
last summer by at least 60 per cent.
Another fact that we noticed last win

One Who Shows No Favor.
A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the wanting

withstood this sternest of all tests.
K. T. Otos, Willmar, says: ««I was

worse in the morning and I got up
with an aching back, which often

Most of the Progressives are stand
ing fast in their allegiance to their
new party, heartened by the cogent
reasoning of Bainbrldge Colby and
the sturdy steadfastness of George W.
Perkins. They rather enjoy the Idea
of holding the balance of power in
1916, even if they know they can't
elect a President.
The ending of a full year of war
has brought out in the newspapers
summaries that stagger the human
mind. With the roll of the dead made
up of 2,225,000 names and 8,770,000
men wounded in the twelve months,
and with 115,500,000,000 spent to prp
-duce such results, the cost of war in
lives and money is seen to be too great
to permit any one to think lightly ot
America becoming involved,
The published reviews coincide In
admitting that Germany has made
such progress that it should win, but
they go on to say that Germany can't
win, because England can't permit it.
But more will depend on England's
power than on her wishes, as is now
realized, judging from dispatches from
the British capital. The outcome will
certainly depend upon whether the Al
lies stick together, and latest develop
ments in Poland have raised a large
doubt as to how long Russia will per
sist in a losing war.
Several distinct shocks were pro
duced by the execution of Becker, the
police lieutenant who was convicted
of instigating the murder of Rosen
thal, the squealing gambler. The
whole underworld was shocked," for
what safety can there be for buyers
of "protection" if police sellers of
that commodity can be electrocuted.
The shock to "the system", that, com
bination of grafting policemen and
politicians, was intense. But decent,
law-abiding citizens were shocked,

satisfied of Becker's guilt, nor was it
reconciled to the propriety of his ap

of them clamoring for it since?—Sam light o- the situation. The British
captain refused to stop when hailed
by the submarine commander, and
three Americans in the crew went
down. They had put themselves vol
untarily in danger, and, even though
the President refuses to warn Ameri
cans to keep off British boats, as Sec
retary Bryan advised, there is no thot
of making an issue of this incident.
Of course it is a principle with the
President to guard Americans wher
ever they may be except in Mexico,
but in practice principles are subject
to modification. And it is to be re
membered that England did not get
into any fuss in the time of the Russo
Japanese war when her subjects went
poking their noses into trouble.
As for industry—the courts have
just disposed of a teller who patient
ly substituted pennies for nickels In
the bank's money bags until he had
netted $32,000 and earned a prison
term. It was some job, involving the
handling of 1,600,000 coins while no
body was looking into his cage. Now
he has time to figure out whether it
was worth while.
It is something really new in mu

There is keen disappointment over
the new British note. Delayed for
four months, and then withheld for a
postscript, because the American

use of words to conceal thought and
it reveals the purpose of the British

Now the women are to have their

Americans felt very powerful the

showed that there are in this country
17,000,000 able-bodied men capable of
serving in an army. But only 61 in

When one comes to think of it the
British Empire, with 438,000,000 popu
lation, ought to have over 70,000,000
available men, but Great Britain, un
prepared, cuts a sorry figure against
an Empire one-sixth its own size, and
Russia, unprepared is fleeing before
the armies of a nation of much less
than half its population.

to buy the new equipment. Speed
and efficiency are not the only factors
in the change. It costs $200 a year to
keep a motor in order and $900 to
feed and stable the three horses need

Th creation of an American mer
chant marine was a big issue in the
last Congress, but the President's plan
was brought to naught. Now Great
Britain is planning a line through the
Panama Canal to the west coast of
South America, and the American
Trans-Atlantic Company has gathered
up eleven neutral vessels and put
them under the American flag. The
latter announcement caused some
mild excitement, because of the rum

about that?
