For these thin; Allan Brand thinks he hae a call from God, Helen Brand knows she has a call from her children, the same beautiful faith. to you and me, but counts for nothing in the formula of the Associated ee which persuaded Justice © to deny Mrs, Brand's applica- an for the custody of her children, taken from her last July because their father did not contribute regularly to their support. Mr. Brand, who comes of one of the oldest families in Lexington, Ky. and who has spent a private fortune of $26,000 in the last few years in his effort to save souls, determined long ago to concentrate his intellectual energies in the interpretation of the prophets. Judged by the cold facts of his case, the evangelist seems to have given a great deal of his inter- est to the prophet Elijah, who, as everybody knows, or ought to know, was fed by ravens, But it ts not recorded that Elijah had four children to feed, But, any way, Allan Brand, evangelist, has, and, like Elijah, he believes in the ravens, even after the ravens have sald, “Nevermore,” Last July a representative of the Associated Charities found the Brand children and their mother living in A state of destitution in West Thir- ty-fifth Street. The father preached the Gospel to such congregations as he could gather in Madison or Wash- ington Square, which boasts a statue of the evangelist’s great uncle, Alex- ander Lyman Holley, who brought the process of making Bessemer steel to this country, Mrs, Brand told me. One day last July, when the ravens were engaged elsewhere, the Rev. E. Rue, pastor of the Thirty-fitth Methodist Church, went to call the Brand family, which had moyed into that neighborhood. The pastor was astonished and dismayed to find a woman of great refinement and four lovely children living in what he considered a state of squalor, He sent a representative of the As- sociated Charities to see the Brand family. The representative, Miss Marian Wh found four children, Horace, thirteen; Allan, eleven; tuth, nine, and Adeline, five; their mother, 4 tall, slender, aristocratic with big dark eyes smouider- and an uble-bodied man in who insisted upon pre spel for nothing, whe dy knows, he should y have en at Work somewhere at @ regular salary. ‘To impress thelr point of view upon Associated Charities children to be hem.

Cor. 15" ST.2 OT Al SINCE 1891 dren's Court, I talked to Judge Mayo from 12,80 to 2 o'clock in the hope that I would be allowed to support my children on $15 a week. But the Associated Charities produced statis tics to prove that $15 is not enough for this task and the Judge listened to them and decided that my two little boys, Horace and Allan, must re- main in an institution at Nyack and my girl babies must stay in the Home of the Big Sisters, at Tremont and Webster Avenues, New York City. “I have not undertaken to sup Mr. Brand. self, But I had found a home for my babies in a flat where a kind and capable woman would look after them while I was away, and all I asked All of which may mean something @——————___________ ture to belleve in the man of her heart and the father of he belfeves in his religion, and to bring up her babies in was that I be permitted to care for them so that my husband's great mi: sion would not be halted by the ne- cessity of earning a living for us, You understand, I am sure, that I wanted to do everything I could to help him, and to enable him to heed the call to higher thing: Mrs. Brand believes that her husband should beefree to follow the call he thinks he hears, ns $15 a week, has found a home for her ba- bies and wants them With her.

And from the institution in Nyack to which the 5 ds’ little boys were sent, the old- on, Horace, aged thirteen, wrote his mother the other day, ‘How is Papa?
