Suddenly, into the midst of this perfect accord and con- cord between preacher and audience, there came a very remarkable interruption. It would be difficult to indicate the extent of the shock which this interruption measured. It was so unexpected, so entirely contrary to any thought of any person present that it offered no room for argument, or, for the time being, of resistance.      The sermon had come to a close. The Rev. Henry Maxwell had turned the half of the big Bible over upon his manuscript and was about to sit down, as the quartette prepared to rise and sing the closing selection, "All for Jesus, All for Jesus, All my being's ransomed powers," when the entire congregation was startled by the sound of a man's voice. It came from the rear of the church, from one of the seats under the gallery. The next moment the figure of a man came out of the shadow there and walked down the middle aisle.         Before the startled congregation realized wh...

THE POLICE STATION Mama Tosan was ordered at the Police station three consecutive times to go back to her seat each time she tried to lay a complaint. After waiting for almost an hour unattended to, Barrister Akomire broke the silence, she cut into the Policemen’s discussion, expressed her disgust at their behavior and demanded to see Tosan. Her demand was mocked and rejected along with an arrest threat. Unlike others, she challenged the Policemen who wondered where her knowledge and guts came from. Judging by her dressing; T-shirt on jeans trousers, she didn’t look like a Barrister. But the moment they found out who she was, they swallowed their threats and rendered ceaseless apologies. In haste, Barrister Akomire and Mama Tosan were ushered to the cell in which Tosan was detained. A special room was provided for so they could have a one on one chat with him without a time limit. TOSAN INTERROGATED Left alone with Tosan and Barrister Akomire, Mama Tosan greeted Tosan with a heavy slap...

But Sunday morning dawned on the town of Raymond one of those perfect days that sometimes come after long periods of wind and rain and mud. The air was clear and bracing, the sky was free from all threatening signs, and every one in Henry Maxwell's parish prepared to go to church. When the service opened at eleven o'clock, the large building was filled with an audience of the best dressed, most comfortable looking people in Raymond.       The First Church of Raymond believed in having the best music that money could buy and its quartette choir this morning was a great source of pleasure to the congregation. The anthem was inspiring. All the music was in keeping with the subject of the sermon. And the anthem was an elaborate adaptation to the most modern music, of the hymn, "Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow thee."     Just before the sermon, the soprano sang a solo, the well known hymn, "Where He leads me I will follow,      ...

 IN HIS STEPS. CHAPTER I.      ''For hereunto were ye called; because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that ye should follow his steps."       It was Friday morning and the Rev. Henry Maxwell was trying to finish his Sunday morning sermon. He had been interrupted several times and was growing nervous as the morning wore away and the sermon grew very slowly to-wards a satisfactory finish.      "Mary," he called to his wife, as he went up stairs after the last interruption, "if any one comes after this, I wish you would say that I am very busy and cannot come down unless it is something very important."      "Yes, Henry. But I am going over to visit the Kindergarten and you will have the house all to yourself."       The minister went up into his study and shut the door. In a few minutes he heard his wife go out.        He settled himself at his desk with a ...
