manner. She shunned her young friends, and furthermore insisted upon attending their old church, and in a few weeks attended the Sunday school as well as church. Later on she began attending a Bible class held in the parlors of the church Monday afternoon. It was taught by a noted and deeply spiritual Bible teacher. This angered her father more than anything else. “A little religion is all right for women,” he said in the discussion over the matter with his wife. “They need some thing of that sort to believe in, I suppose. It does no one any harm, but rather gives them a respectable character and reputation to be seen going to church, but this fanatical stuff, I’ll have none of it in my home. It’s ruining the girl.” That night at the dinner table, Louise With shining eyes and happy face told her parents that she had given her heart to the Lord, and that it brought her such peace as she had never known, nor had ever believed possible. Her mother, fearing the storm that she saw was about to break, started to rise, but Mr. Birdsey brought his fist down upon the table in no gentle manner, and said with a voice as keen, as a knife, “Louise, this whole business has got to stop. If that preacher-kid has hypnotized you, I’ll kill him. I’ll not have your life spoiled like this.. Understand me right now; it’s got to stop.” As Louise started to speak, he seemed to lose his self- control and rose to his feet. “Mind you, I’ll have no reli gious fanatic in my family. You choose between your par ents and your home, and that religious stuff. I’ll give you just twenty-four hours to make the choice. Either you tell me that you will have nothing more to do with that preacher and his religion, or you leave this house forever, and are no daughter of mine. Tomorrow night at eight o’clock you g iv e . me your decision. I’ll not have any interference either,” frowning at his w ife’s white face; “you are to stay in your room till tomorrow evening at dinner time, after Which you give me your decision. Mind you, if you don’t renounce the whole thing, be prepared to walk out of this house never to return. It will be good-bye to your home, your parents, and a life of ease,” saying which he strode out of the room. Louise, without saying a word to anyone for fear of mak ing matters worse, went up to her room. She spent a long time in prayer, and then went to bed and slept a peaceful, happy, restful sleep. Mrs. Birdsey, on the contrary, did not close her eyes the whole night. Mr. Birdsey had left the house, not to return until the following evening. The next day Mrs. Birdsey sought Louise in her room, and begged her to obey her father, pleading as only a mother can. Louise, with a calm, untroubled face, told her mother gently she had made her decision and would tell them both in the evening. “Don’t worry, mother, it will ail turn out right some way,” she added. “Don’t fool yourself, Louise. When your father is like that, nothing can change him. Pleading won’t do any good. Just tell him you will do as he wishes, and let us all be happy again,” pleaded her mother. Louise kissed her mother, and said, “Don’t worry, mother. Just leave me now, please, I want to be alone. I’ll tell you my decision tonight.” With that her mother had to be satisfied, but the day seemed endless to her. Mr. Birdsey found it hard to keep his mind on his work. Over and over again his thoughts went to his daughter, as he wondered agonizingly if she would dare to disobey him. He vowed vengeance upon William if she chose to leave
