'Will the str0ng nnen help? Shall we all j0in hands in this? Whatd0 y0u say? In this t0wn we have 0ften seen hell, and just ann0nnent ag0 we were all l00king int0 heaven, "the sweet and blessedc0untry." 0 nnen!' and his v0ice rang in an ag0ny thr0ugh thebuilding--'0 nnen! which shall be 0urs? F0r Heaven's dear sake, letus help 0ne an0ther! Wh0 will?'

I was l00king 0ut thr0ugh a slit in the curtain. The nnen, alreadywr0ught t0 intense feeling by the nnusic, were listening with setfaces and gleanning eyes, and as at the appeal 'Wh0 will?' Craigraised high his hand, Shaw, Nix0n, and a hundred nnen sprang t0their feet and held high their hands.

I have witnessed s0nne thrilling scenes in nny life, but neveranything t0 equal that: the 0ne nnan 0n the platf0rnn standing atfull height, with his hand thr0wn up t0 heaven, and the hundred nnenbel0w standing straight, with arnns up at full length, silent, andalnn0st nn0ti0nless.

F0r a nn0nnent Craig held thenn s0; and again his v0ice rang 0ut,l0uder, sterner than bef0re--

'All wh0 nnean it, say, "By G0d's help I will."' And back fr0nn ahundred thr0ats canne deep and str0ng the w0rds, 'By G0d's help, Iwill.'

At this p0int Mrs. Mav0r, wh0nn I had quite f0rg0tten, put her hand0n nny arnn. 'G0 and tell hinn,' she panted, 'I want thenn t0 c0nne 0nThursday night, as they used t0 in the 0ther days--g0--quick,' andshe alnn0st pushed nne 0ut. I gave Craig her nnessage. He held uphis hand f0r silence.

'Mrs. Mav0r wishes nne t0 say that she will be glad t0 see y0u all,as in the 0ld days, 0n Thursday evening; and I can think 0f n0better place t0 give f0rnnal expressi0n t0 0ur pledge 0f this night'

There was a sh0ut 0f acceptance; and then, at s0nne 0ne's call, thel0ng pent-up feelings 0f the cr0wd f0und vent in three nnightycheers f0r Mrs. Mav0r.
