hmidreds of lail-s in a bti.-in-'es that ig-
all Christian 'ln;k-< toward them
ill the way of education anil moral
training and personal nffectfont Would
JostiM if he were here today, a? a part
i-f onr age and commercial industry,
feel nothing, do nothing, say nothing,
in the face of these facts, which every
bnsiness man knows 1
"What would .Testis do? Is not that
what the disciple ought to dot Is lie
not commanded to follow in his steps'?
How mnch is the Christianity of the
age suffering for him? Is it denying it
self at the cost of ease, comfort, lnxnry,
elegance of living? What does the age
need more than personal sacrifice? Does
the chnrch do its dnty in following
Jesus when it gives a little money to
establish missions or relieve extreme
cases of want ? Is it any sacrifice for a
man who is worth $10,000,000 simply
to give SIO,OOO for some benevolent
work? Is he not giving something that
costs him practically nothing, so far as
any personal pain or suffering goes? Is
it true that the Christian disciples to
day in most of our churches are living
soft. easy, selfish lives, very far from
anv sacrifice that can be called sacrifice ?
W hat would Jesns do?
"It is the personal element that
Christian discipleship needs to empha
size. 'The gift without the giver is
bare.' The Christianity that attempts
to suffer by proxy is not the Christian;
ity of Christ. Each individual Chris
tian. business man, citizen, needs to
follow in his steps along the path of
personal sacrifice for him. There is not
a different path today from that of
Jesus' own times. It is the same path.
The call of this dying century and of
the new one soon to be is called for a
new discipleship, a new fellowship of
Jesus, more like the early, simple, apos
tolic Christianity when the disciples
left all and literally followed the Mas
ter. Nothing but a discipleship of this
kind can face the destructive selfishness
of the age with any hope of overcoming
it. There is a great quantity of nom
inal Christianity today. There is need
of more of the real kind. Wo need a
revival of the Christianity of Christ.
We have, unconsciously, lazily, selfish
ly, formally, grown into a discipleship
that Jesus himself would net acknowl
edge. He would say to many of us
when wo cry, 'Lord, Lord,' 'I never
knew yon.' Are we ready to take up
tlie cross? Is it possible for this church
to sing with exact truth:
"Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee?
"If we can sing that truly, then we
may claim discipleship. but if our defi
nition ef being a Christian is simply tu
enjoy the privileges of worship, be gen
erous at no expense to ourselves, have
a good, easy time, surrounded by pleas
ant friends and by comfortable things,
live i• ■; ■ ctably and at the same timo
avoid the world's great stress of sin and

position as pustor of the chnrch won Id
him to srtffer move, on neconnt of
growing opposition to hi-; interpretation
of Jesns and his cenflnct hnt this was
Tilguety Ontlined. Throni*h it all he
hoard the wonls, "My graco is snfli
cient for thee. "
He saw Rachel Winslow and Virginia
Page going on with their work of serv
ice at the Rectangle and reaching ont
loving hands of helpfulness far beyond
the limits of Raymond Rachel he saw
married to Rolliu Page, both fnlly con
secrated to the Master's use. both fol
lowing in his steps with an eagerness
intensified and pnrified by their love
for each other, and Rachel's voice sang
on in the slnms and dark places of de
spair and sin and drew lost souls back
to God and heaven once more.
He saw President Marsh of the col
lego using his great learning and his
great influence to purify the city, to
ennoblo its patriotism, to inspire the
young men and women who loved as
well as admired hiin to live lives of
Christian service, always teaching them
that education means great responsibil
ity for the weak and the ignorant He
saw Alexander Powers meeting with
sore trials in his family life, with a
constant sorrow in the estrangement of
wife and friends, but still going his
way in all honor, seeing and living in
all his strength the Master, whom he
had obeyed even unto loss of social dis
tinction and wealth
Ho saw Milton Wright, the merchant,
meeting with great reverses, thrown
upon the future by a combination of
circumstances, with vast business in
terests involved in ruin, through no
fault of his own. but coming out of all
his reverses with clean Christian honor,
to begin and work up to a position
where he could again be to hundreds of
young men an example of what Jesus
would be in business.
Ho saw Edward Norman, editor of
The News, by means of the money giv
en by Virginia, creating a force in jour
nalism that in time camo to be recog
nized as ono of the real factors of the
nation, to mold its principles and actu
ally shape its policy, a daily illustra
tion of the might of a Christian press
and the first of a series of such papers
begun and carried on by other disciples
who had also taken the pledge
He saw Jasper Chase, who had denied
his Master, growing into a cold, cynical
formal life, writing novels that were
social successes, but each one with a
sting in it the reminder of his denial,
the bitter remorse that, do what ha
wonld. no social success could remove.
He saw Rose Sterling dependent for
some years upon her anut and Felicia,
lintilly married to a man far older than

chief said "Then, If yon are,not sathj
fi«.-d, I will transfer yea to some c rlui
circuit.''
O'Mcara walked slowly over to. hi§
old 1 '...■.' to relievo the man who was at
tho moment receiving some messages
from Chicago. As ho neared the instru
ment and heard the characters coming
with a dearly loved and familiar sound
hi? hi art almost stopped beating so
overwhelming was tho enrgu of emo
tion. Ho listened a moment until at the
beginning of another message came the
signal of the sending operator, "A. D.
"Who, in heaven's name, is there in
Chicago," he almost shouted, "that
dares to sign 'A. D. V "
"Amy Davidson, of course," was
his friend's reply.
"Don't trifle with me," O'Meara
cried "Amy Davidson is dead!"
"Xot by a long shot," said the oper
ator, making way for O'Meara. "It
was only a rumor that some chuckle
headed ass accepted as a fact She has
been back at work for two weeks or
more. From the manner in which she
has inquired about you every day I
should imagine that she takes an inter
est in you.
When ho sat down before the instru
ment, his hand trembled so that he
could scarcely form tho dots and dashes
to ask
"Is that really yon. Amy?" He gave
his own signal, "O. M."
"Yes, Charlie, and I'm so glad you
arc well again." Her reply was as flut
tering as his question had been tremu
lous.
Some of tho operators in the New
York office wondered at seeing a young
man sitting at an instrument with tears
of joy streaming down his face, while
in the Chicago office there was surprise
because a girl was crying and smiling
at the same time.
When he recovered his equanimity.
O'Meara said
"They told me your were dead, and
I believed it. Tho shock nearly killed
me."
"It was merely a rumor, I'm happy
to say, but when I came back to work
I was greatly depressed at hearing yon
were so ill. Now wo will both be well
and happy again."
"I will never be thoroughly happy,
my darling," O'Meara replied, "until
you are my wife. I'm coming out there
soon to claim yon. May I?"
"Dear me I How can yon wish to
marry a girl whom you h.ivp never
seen?"
This was another instance of
lon-iiess in transmission.
"That's all right," O'Meara said J
"I'm willing to risk it if you are. I've

Whajtever you may call it, I'm
Head sure in sun an-J dew-
It soaks until about this time
It*§ mellowed through and through.
Weil, anyway, 'twas harvest mooiv
And that's enough for me.
It made the place as bright as rawn
For Jones' husk In bee.
And yellow—gosh J The yellowest light
I ever saw before
Came streamin through the summer nigM
And In the old barn door.
It "yellowed" all the corn I goC
I husked and husked, by gum.
And burrowed in like sixty; not
A single red I swum!
And when young Si Smith fouud ua mt
And kissed Samanthy Ladd
It made me feel uncommon queer-
It almost made me mad.
6hc's well worth kissin, I tell youl
I envied Si that smack-
She didn't like it, though, I knew;
She didn't kiss him back!
She looked at me and tossed her bead
And said: "You're way bellied.
You haven't found an ear that's red.
You must be color blind."
And Si Smith laughed—a spiteful laugh
(He's naturally mean),
But in a second and a half
I'd kissed her, slick and clean.
She didn't care, but blushed like—my I
While I said: "Say, it 'pears
You fellers aren't so all fired spry.
B'gosh, here's two red ears!"

Here's a thought and ponder on K,

"Sonnet" ever rhymes to "bonnet,"

Tlieir Hoy.
They nursed him in his childhood
Through a score of trying ills.
And it kept his father busy
P*>ing up the doctors' bills!
The whooping cough, the measles,
And the mumps and scarlet rash
Were among the things that made it
Hard to cling unto the cash!
They loved him, and they watched him.
He was first in ail their dreams;
He v.as all thev had to live for;
Hound him circled all their schemes!
They guarded him in childhood,
In his youth made many a plan
F . the «tart that they would give him
When he got to be a man!
Then they sent him off to college.
And their hearts were full of pride;
Hr 1 mighty shoulders on him.
An J his chest was deep and wide,
But :!. y'd built a house of cardboard
That was doomed, alns, to fall.
And their eyes are red with weeping
And their cups are full of gall!
<v ♦* <ir hop s their plans were worthy,
IV m moment spoiled them all
Football!
Pall!
