"THE ' py CHANNINS ifoLLOCK a.'Afsi>> > 'I\“IRTHL.T>

BEGIN HERE TODAY Dilly Gilliam, her mother. Mrs. Gilliam. with Leila Thornbury. a divorcee, are trim min? a Christmas tree In the Church of the Nativity, a fashionable church of York. Mrs. J. Orson, society leader, comes in with Jerry Goodkind. a man-about-town. who is Interested in Clare Jewett, eneared to the Reverend Daniel Gilchrist, the assistant rector of the church, in bad favor because of his radical sermons. Dr. Wadhan. the rector, drops In to attend a meeting of the wardens. Charles Be afield declares that either he or Gilchrist must leave the church. Jerry proposes marriage to Clare. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY MfrTJOU think It’s sordid at 3:45 on | j I Christmas Eve?" he leered. * * "Well, keep your ears and your mind open, and see how you fee 1 in the morning. My telephone’s Rhinelander 6-9-4-2 —and this is the last time I shall ask you.” "Wait!" He paused for Claire to proceed. "Whatever you believe of me,” she continued, "I love Mr. Gilchrist.” “Rhinelander 6-9-4 2,” was the only comment. CHAPTER IV The Meeting of the Wardens Claire Jewett stared with burning, angry eyes at the door that closed upon Jerry Goodkind. It seemed as though he had paused on the other side to leer at her through the heavy oak panel. As slie took a step forward, an echo announced the closing of the outer door and she turned back.

i-l > 1 i’K r 1 , LFa Zxr -= "A CHURCH THAT *V.N’T BIG ENOUGH FOR TWO MEN,” HE SAID, "MUST BE SOMEWHAT CROWDED FOR GOD.” She looked down to see that her hands deriding unconsciously in nervous tensity, were crashing the tissue-wrapped packages she still held. Fuming, she hurled them at the foot of the tree, where others lay, piled high, just as Dr. Wadham came from the choir room. "Why—Miss Jewett:” the minister protested in surprise. She looked up. emb&rrarased. "I’m nervous,” she cried petulantly. '“I want to finish up and go home.” She rushed past him through the door he had just opened. Bewildered, the minister stopped and rearranged the disordered packages. The noise of the outer door pre Raged a visitor and Dr Wa lham rose hastily and dusted himself off. “Ah, Mr. Goodkind,” he said at tb:serior warden came in briskly. ‘ You’re early.” George F. Goodkind, Jerry's father, carried the air of a bysv office with him everywhere. Even evening clothes or the heavy overcoat and gloves he wore now, one felt that there should have been a desk in front of him and a nimble-fingered stenographer at his side with an industrial army maneuvering at his crisp orders. He had Jerry’s amiability, the amiability of wealth. He had Jerry's selfishness. too. but of a different source. Jerry was selfish because he had been brought up with all his wants supplied. The elder Goodkind was selfish because he had fought for all he had and felt that it was his, and his alone, by right of conquest. He was by no means niggardly. He did what he conceived to be his duty toward his family, his community and his God —and he wanted all three to appreciate It. "How do you do. doctor,” he said brusquely. "Walked out of a meeting. I don’t like letting religion in-

t erf ere with business, but I wanted to get here ahead of Benfleld. It’s about young Gilchrist. Did you know he proposes to preach a Christmas sermon about the strike?” "What strike?’’ “This garment strike. Benfield’s furious.” “Mr. Benfleld isn’t interested in clothing.” "No, but he's invested heavily in my West Virginia coal mines, and down there we’re on the verge of the biggest walkout in our history. You see what I mean?” The Rev. Dr. Wadham nodded knowingly. “The labor problem’s none of the church’s buslnes,” continued Goodkind, warming up, “or any outsider’s business. It's a worrisome subject and there’s no good stirring it up. That's what you want to tell Gilchrist.” Mr. Wadham lifted a hand in a gesture of futility. “I have told him,” he said, “—frequently.” “And what’s the answer?” "He says every problem ought to be the church’s business, and that until the church becomes a power in live isues it isn’t a power in lifff.” "He won't listen to reason? Then he'll have to listen to something else. If he persists about this Christmas sermon ” Mr. Bamaby opened the door. The two paused. "There’s a man out there wants to see Mr. Gilchrist,” he apologized. "What kind of a ashed Dr. Wadham. “A poor man. I think he’s a Jew.” "Who ever heard of a poor Jew?” Mn Goodkind scorned. “Mr. Gilchrist isn’t here,” interposed Dr. Dadham. “I told him that, but he won’t go away. Why don’t he go over to the synagogue instead of hanging around a Christian church?' Mr. Gilchrist gave him his overcoat this morning and I guess he’s come back for the gloves.” "Tell him I’ll speak to Mr. Gilchrist,” dismissed Dr. Wadham. and Mr. Barnaby, shaking his head dis palringly, left. “Wqll, there you are,” said Good kind with the air of a prosecutor closing the State’s case. "And that’s what I wanted to talk to you about privately—what’s got into the boy? Has he gone crazy?” “I’ve asked myself that,” Dr. Wadham answered in perplexity. “I’ve arked myself whether what he say In France—” “Exactly. A lot of young fellows got off the handle and start out to reform the world, but this lad has run through $20,000 in less than three months. "In addition to his salary?" “Yes. I could understand it if he’d spent the money on himself, but he hasn’t. He’s given It away! Gilchrist’s father was my first partner, and I got the boy In here, and I feel responsible for him. As trustee, I can refuse to turn over another penny of his principal, and. as senior warden, I can demand his resignation from the church But I want him to have every chance. Tell him If he’ll get a grip on himself and reconsider tomorrow’s sermon—” This time it was "Charlie” Benfleld who interrupted. The chastening shadows of a twilight church did not soften the flinty features of the man He was of the type that is known as self-made. He adopted arrogance and insolence to hide his glaring lack of education, refinement and appreciation. The third time Dr. Wadham looked at his hat he removed it. "Hello. George!” he greeted. "Hod’d’y, doctor. Am I late?” “We’ve been waiting for you.” said Dr. Wadham nervously. He was always uneasy when Benfleld was about. “Hadn’t we better retire to my study if we’re going to discuss Mr. Gilchrist?” "We’re not,” Benfleld disagreed emphatically. "We’ve been discussing long enough. All I got to say now Is: Gilchrist leaves this church or I do.” “Now, wait a minute,” said the senior warden calmly. "Isn’t that a little mandatory,” said Dr. "Wadham. taking courage. "I don’t know what It Is, but tt goes.” continued Benfleld positively. "I’ve worked hard all my life, and now this fellow gets up and tells me what I’ve worked for Is nothing, that I’m nothing, and that all my ideas are wrong.” "Wait a minute. Charlie.” interrupted Goodkind. "That’s not the tone to take to Dr. Wadham. We all feel that Gilchrist has gone too far and we’re agreed ’’ "Does he preach tomorrow?" Benfleld shouted. “We’re agreed that if he insists upon preaching about the strike ” "He goes?” "He goes!" All right. And if he don’t insist?” "He stays.” "And I go!” Benflejd’s voice of wrath had drowned the opening and closing of the door. Back to the panel, Daniel Gilchrist squared his shoulders. They were broad shoulders and had carried him through many a brick-wall football line in his college days. At 33 he was still trim and fit. This was partially due to the self-denial one read in his slender, ascetic face. Even in the shadow his smile was visible. It lighted his eyes with good humor. They were honest eyes, with strength and zealousness in their Are There was nothing forbidding about his figure.' Indeed, there was an em pyrean sympathy which caught and held, first, the attention, then the deepest interest. Benfleld had thrust his hat back on his head. "I go. I tell you,” he blustered "You can decide which Is the most valuable to your church. It ain’t big enough for Gilchrist and me.” Daniel stepped forward quietly. He was smiling. "A church that isn’t big enough for two little men. Mr. Benfleld,” he said simply, "must be somewhat crowded for God.” CHAPTER V Dis missed .Benfleld turned on the advancing figure savagely. A torrent of vltnpe-

ration surged through his brain. But scmtinow the tran<)uillity of the figure before him disarmed him com | pletely. His attack became nothing more than a scowl and when this met a smile his rout was complete. He stormed past Gilchrist and the slam of the door a moment later was the only audible indication of his ire. “Mr. Benfleld is a little —ah—a little —” soothed Dr. Wadham, rubbing his hands uneasily. “Yea,” said Daniel, “a little.” His face still glowed from the cold outside. Goodkind picked up hit., hat and sauntered toward him. “Pneumonia weather, Daniel,” he advised in a fatherly tone. ‘"Where s your overcoat?” “Outside,” was the response.
