Gray rose and held out his hand.

"God bless you, Mr.Maxwell.

I'm sure the Spirit will give you power tonight." Henry Maxwell made no answer.

But he thought of his promise and it brought him a certain peace that was refreshing to his heart and mind alike.
So that is how it came about that when the First Church audience came into the lecture room that evening it met with another surprise.
