FEAR OF STORMS DESTROYED

BY HELEN A. DOIZER.

In August, 1896, a young man called. I had seen him at the Baptist church during my occasional attendance there with my sister. It was upon this sister he called, but she being absent, it devolved upon me to entertain him. I felt a little embarrassed at first, not knowing what kind of conversation would interest him.

Thinking that he was a Baptist, and had been absent from Jacksonville for several years, I expressed regret that he had chosen just this time for a visit to his home, as his beloved pastor was about to be removed from his church, owing to the discontent of some of its members. He replied sorry to hear it,—then a moment's hesitation he said that he was no longer a member of the Baptist Church, but had become a Christian Scientist.
