PREFACE.

This story was first read by the author to his Sunday evening
congregation in the spring of 1892. The chapters were given one at a
time on consecutive Sundays, and the way in which the story was
received encouraged the pastor in his attempt to solve the problem of
the Sunday evening service in this manner.

ROBERT HARDY'S SEVEN DAYS.

THE DREAM.

It was Sunday night, and Robert Hardy had just come home from the
evening service in the church at Barton. He was not in the habit of
attending the evening service, but something said by his minister in
the morning had impelled him to go out. The evening had been a little
unpleasant, and a light snow was falling, and his wife had excused
herself from going to church on that account. Mr. Hardy came home
cross and fault-finding.
