Arnot's sturdy integrity led her to give up everything to her husband's creditors, and she came to the city of her new abode wherein the prison was located almost penniless. But she brought letters from Dr. Barstow, Mr. Ivison, and other Christian people of Hillaton.
"Then you will have to find a new object of benevolence," answered the lady, "or you will have all your reward in this world." "There it is again," said Mr. Ivison, with his hearty laugh, "you and Dr. Barstow give a man no peace. I'm going to take breath before I strike in again."
"You should charge for your visits, as a rule," said wise Mrs. Arnot. "Never give charity unless it is absolutely necessary." "Well, I could charge so moderately that my attendance would not be a burden. I am very grateful to Mr. Ivison for the position he gave me, but I would like to do something more and better in life than I can accomplish as his clerk.
Ivison, cordially thanking him for his encouraging words, but adding, frankly, that he could make no promises in regard to himself. "All that I can say, is," he wrote, "that I am trying to do right now, and that I am grateful to you for the chance you have given me. I wish to get the 'help' you suggest in your note to me, but, in memory of certain relations to my old pastor, Dr.
"Come," said that lady to him one evening, "it's time you found a nook in the vineyard and went to work." He shook his head emphatically as he replied, "I do not feel myself either competent or worthy. Besides, who would listen to me?" "Many might with profit. You can carry messages from Mr. Ivison, can you not take a message from your Divine Master?

"Mr. Ivison," added Mrs. Arnot, in her smiling, happy way, "I hope you may make a great deal of money out of your business this year; but if, by means of it, you can also aid in making a good and true man, you will be still better off. Dr. Barstow here can tell you how sure such investments are." "If I should follow your lead and that of Dr.
After quite a lapse of time Mr. Ivison again happened to meet Mrs. Arnot, and he said to her: "Haldane thinks you did him a great kindness in suggesting our present arrangement; but I am inclined to think you did me a greater, for you have no idea how useful the young fellow is making himself to me."

Aminadab Ivison was silent, for his conscience spoke in the words of his wife. He slept no more that night, and rose up in the morning a wiser and better man.
I wonder you should be in your office now. No business has so much at stake in this election as yours." "I don't think I should feel entirely easy to vote for the candidate," said Aminadab. "Mr. Ivison," said the bank director, "I always took you to be a shrewd, sensible man, taking men and things as they are.
What shall I put you down for? Fifty dollars? If we carry the election, your property will rise twenty per cent. Let me see; you are in the iron business, I think?" Aminadab thought of the little iron soldier of his dream, and excused himself. Presently a bank director came tearing into his office. "Have you voted yet, Mr. Ivison? It 's time to get your vote in.
