Porhaps nothing hart astonished me
people mora than the grout change that
had come over the minister since he
had proposed to them the imitation of
jeans in conduct. The dramatic deliv
ery of his sermons no longer improsscd
thom. The self satisfied, contented, easy
attitude of the fine figure and there
lined fuee in the. pnlpit had been dis
placed iy i manner Quit could not he
competed with the old style of his do-
livery, m he unnon had become u mes
sage. It w"s no longer delivered, it
was brought to them with B love, nn
earnestness, a passion, a desire, a hu
mility, that poured their enthusiasm
about the truth and made the speaker
no more prominent than he had to be
aa the living voice of Uod. His prayers
wore unlike any the people had ever
heard before. They wero often broken.
Even once or twice they had been acta
ally ungranimatica in a phrase or two.
When bad Henry Maxwell so far for
gotten bin LS If in a prayer as to make a
mistake of that sort? He know that he j
had often taken as much pride in the
diction and the delivery of his prayers
as of his sermons. Was it possible he
DOW so ubboiTed the elegant refinement
of a formal public petition that he pnr
poeely chose to rebuke himself for his
previous precise manner of prayer? It
is more likely that he had no thought
if all that His great longing to voice
the needs and wants of his people made
him unmindful of nn occasional mis
take. It is curtain he had never preyed
so effectively as he did now.
There are times when a sermon has a
value and power duo to conditions in
the audience rather than to anything
hew or startling or eloquent in tho
Words or the arguments presented. Such
conditions faced Henry Maxwell this
morning as he preached against the sa
loon, according to his purpose deter
mined on the week before. Ho hk no
new statements to make about the evil
influence of tho saloon in Raymond.
What new facts were there V Ho had no
startling illustrations of the power of
tho saloon ir. business or politics. What
could he say that had not been said by
temperance orators a great many times t
The effect of his message this morning
owed its jiower to tho unusual fact of
his preaching about the saloon at all,
together with tho events that had stir
red the people. Ho had never in the
course of his ten years' pastorate men
tioned the saloon as something to bo re
garded in tho light of an enemy, not
only to the poor and tho tempted, but
to tho bnsiness life of tho place and tho
church itself. He spoke now with a
freedom that seemed to measure his
complete sense of the conviction that
Jesus would speak bo. At tho close he
pleaded with the peoplo to remenilier
the new life that had hegnn at the Rec
tangle. The regular election of city offi
cers would bo an issue in that election.
What of the poor creatures surrounded
by the hell of drink whilo just begin
ning to feel the joy of deliverance from
sin Y Who could tell what depended on
their environment? Was thero ouo
word to bo said by the Christian disci
ple, business man, professional man,
citizen, in favor of continuing to license
these crimes and shame producing in
stitutions ? Was not tho most Christian
thing they could do to act aa citizens
in the matter, fight the saloon at the
polls, eh'ct good men to tho city offices
and clean the municipality? How much
had prayers helped to mako Raymond
lietter whilo votes and actions had real
ly been on tho side of the enemies of
.Tesns? Would not Jesus do this ? What
disciple could imagine him refusing to
suffer or take up his cross in the mat
ter? How much had the wemliers of
the First church ever suffered in an at
tempt to imitate Jesus? Was Christian
discipleship a thing of convenience, of
custom, of tradition? Where did the
suffering come in ? Was it necessary,
in order to follow Jesus' steps, to go up
Calvary as well as tho Mount of Trans
figuration ?
His appeal was stronger at this point
than he knew. It is not too much to
say that the spiritual tension of tho
First church reached its highest point
right there. The imitation of Jesus
which had begun with the volunteers
in the church was working like leaven
in the organization, and Henry Max
well would, even thus early in his new
life, have been amazed if he could have
measured tho extent of desire on the ,
part of his people to take np the cross.
While ho was speaking this morning,
liefore he closed with a loving appeal to
the discipleship of 2,000 years' knowl
edge of tho Master, many a man and
woman in tho church was saying, as
Rachel had said so passionately to her
mother: "I want to do something that
will cost uio something in the way of
sacrifice. I am hungry to suffer some
thing." Truly, Mazzini was right when
he said. "No appeal is qaite so power
ful in the end as the call. 'Come and
suffer.'"
The service was over, the great audi
ence had gone, and Henry Maxwell
again faced the company gathered in
the lecture room aa on the two previous
Sundays. He had asked all to remain
who had made the pledge of disciple
ship and any others who wished to be
included. The after service seemed now
to be a necessity. As he went in and
faced the people there his heart trem
bled. There were at least 200 present
The Holy Spirit was never so manifest
He missed Jasper Chase, but all the
.others were present He asked Milton
Wright to pray. The very air was
charged With divine possibilities. What
could resist such a baptism of power T
How had they lived til these veers
without it T
They counseled together, r.ud there
were many prayers. Henry Marv.ell
dated from that meeting some of the
serious events that afterward lieoaine a
part of the history of the First church
of Raymond. When finally they went
home, all of them were impressed with
the joy of the Spirit's power.
Donald Marsh, president of Lincoln
college, waltc-d home with Henry Max
well. "I hnve reached one COUSClution,
Maxwell.'' mid Marsh, speaking ;-. iw
ly. "I have found my cross, uni it is a
heavy one. but I shall Herat b satisfied '
until I take it up ami c.irry it. "
Maxwell was silent, and the presi-!
dent went on:
"Your sermon today made clear to,
mo what I have long been feeling I
ought to do. What would Jesus do in
my place? 1 have asked thequostion
repeatedly since I made my promise. I
have tried to satisfy myself that he
wonld simply go on, as I have dene, at- J
tending to tho duties of my college,
teaching the classes in cthns and phi-,
loaophy. lint I haTe not been able to'
avoid the feeling thut he Would do
something more, That something is
what I do not want tu do. It will cause
me genuine suffering t: do it. 1 dread
it wiih all my soul. You may be able
to guess what it is. "
"Yes; 1 think I know," Henry Mux
well replied. "It is my cross too. I
would almost rathi r do anything else,"
Donald Marsh looked surprised, then
relieved. Then ho Fjxiko Sadly, but
with great conviction:
"Maxwell, you and I belong to a
class of professional men who have al
ways avoided the duties of citi.i nship
We have lived in a lift le world of schol
arly si elusion, doing work wo have en
joyed and shrinking from the disagree
able duties that belong to the life of
the citizen. 1 confess with shame that
1 have purposely avoided the responsi
bility that I owe to this city personally.
I understand that our city officials are
a corrupt, unprincipled set of men,
controlled in large part by the whisky
element, and thoroughly selfish, so fur
as the affairs of city government are
Concerned. Yet all these years I. with
: any every teacher in the college, have
been satisfied to let other men run the
municipality and have lived in a little
world of my 0WVJ, out of touch and
Sympathy with the real world of the
people. 'What would Jesus dot' I have
tried ev. n to avoid an honest answer.
I can no longer do so. My plain duty is
to take n personal part in this coming
election, go to the primaries, throw the
weight of my influence, whatever it is,
toward the nomination and election of
good men and plunge into the very
depths of this entire horrible whirlpool
of deceit, bribery, political trickery and
saloonism as it exists in Raymond to
day. I would sooner walk up to the
mouth of a cannon any time than do
this. I dread it because 1 hate tho touch
of tho whole matter.
"I would give almost anything to be
ablo to say, 'I do not believe Jesus
wonld do anything of the sort,' but I
am more and more persuaded that he
would This is whero tho suffering
comes to me. It would not hurt mo
half so much to lose my position or my
home. I loathe the contact with this
municipal problem. I would much pre
fer to remain quietly in my scholastic
life with my classes in ethics and phi
losophy, but the call has come so plain
ly that I cannot escape: '1 lonald Marsh,
follow me. Do your duty as a citizen of
Raymond at tho point whero your citi
zenship will cost yon something. Help
to cleanse this great municipal stable,
even if yon do have to soil your aris
tocratic feelings a little.' Maxwell, this
is my cross. 1 must take it up or Ueuy
my Lord."
"Yon have siokcn for mo also." re
plied Maxwell, with a sad smila "Why
should I, simply because I am n clergy
man, shelter myself behind my refined,
sensitive feelings and, like a coward,
refnse to touch, except in a sermon pos
sibly, tho duty of citizenship? I am un
used to tho ways of the political life of
the city. I have never taken an active
part in any nomination of good men.
There aro hundreds of ministers like
me. As a class wo do not practice in
the municipal life tho dnt ies and privi
leges we preach from tho pulpit What
wonld Jesus do? I am now at a point
whero, liko you, I am driven to answer
the question one way. My duty is plain.
I must suffer. All my parish work, all
my little trials or self sacrifices, aro as
nothing to mo compared with tho break
ing into my scholarly, intellectual, self
contained habits of this open, coarse,
public fight for a clean city life. I
could go and live at the Rectangle the
rest of my days nnd work in the slums
for a bare living, and I conld enjoy it
more than tho thought of plunging into
a fight for tho reform of this whisky
ridden city. It wonld cost mo less But,
liko you. I havo leen unable to shake
off my responsibility. Tho answer to
tho question, 'What would Jesus do?'
in this caso leaves mo no peace, except
when I say, 'Jesus would have me act
the part of a Christian citizen. ' Marsh,
as yon say, we professional men, min
isters, professors, artists, litorary men.
scholars, have almost invariably been
political cowards Wo have avoided the
sacred duties of citizenship either ig
norantly or selfishly. Certainly Jesus
in our age would not do that Wo can
do no less than tako np this cross and
follow him."
These two men walked on in silence
for awhile. Finally President Marsh
said:
"Wo do not need to act alone in this
matter. With all the men who have
made the promise, we certainly can
have companionship and strength even
of numbers. Let us organise the Chris
tian forces of Raymond for the battle
against rum and corruption. We cer
tainly ought to enter the primaries
with a forco that will be able to do
more than utter a protest It is a fact
that the saloon element is cowardly and
easily frightened, in spite of its law-
and corruDttoD. ties as Man a

They talked over the matter a long
time and met again the next day in
Henry Maxwell's study to rtovolop
plans. The city primaries were called
for Friday. Rumors of strai go and un
heard of events to the average citizen
were current in political circles through
out Raymond. The Crawford system of
ballot in.; for nominations was not in
UBS in the state, and the primary was
called lor a public meeting at the court
house. Tho citizens of Raymond will never
forget that meeting. It was so unlike
any political meeting ever held in Ray
mond before that then; was no attempt
at comparison The serial officers to
bo nominated wero mayor, city council,
chief of police, city clerk and city
treasurer.
The Evening News in its Saturday
edition gave a full nccouut of tho pri
maries, and in an editorial colnmn Ed
ward Norman spoke with a directness
and conviction that the Christian peo
ple of Raymond wero learning to re
spect deeply becanse so evidently sincere
aud unselfish. A part of that editorial
is also a part of this history:
"It is safe to say that never before in
the history of Raymond was there a
primary like tho one in the COUTthoUSB
last night. It was, first of all, a cum
plete surprise to tho city politicians,
who have been in the habit of carrying
on tho affairs of the city as if they
owned them and every one else was
simply a tool or a cipher. Tho over
whelming surprise of the wire puller
last night consisted in the fact that a
large number of the citizens of Ray
mond who havo heretofore taken no
part in tho city's affairs entered tho pri
mary and controlled it, nominating
some of the best men for all the offices
to he filled at tho coming election.
"It was a tremendous lesson in good
citizenship. President Marsh of Lincoln
college, who never before entered a city
primary and whose face even was not
known to many of the ward politicians,
made one of the best speeches ever
heard in Raymond. It was almost lu
dierons to see the faces of the men
who for years have done as they pleased
when President Mursh rose to speak.
Many of them asked, 'Who is he?' Tho
consternation deepened as the primary
proceeded and it lioenmo evident that
the old time ring of city rnlers was out
numbered. Henry Maxwell, pastor of
tho First chnrch : Milton Wright, Alex
ander Powers, Professors Brown, Wil
lanl and Park of Lincoln college. Rev.
John West, Dr. George Maine of the
Pilgrim chnrch. Dean Ward of the Holy
Trinity and scores of well known busi
ness nnd professional men, most of them
chnrch members, were present, and it
did not take long t see that tboy had
all come with the direct and definite
purpose of nominating the best men
possible. Most of these men had never
been seen in a primary. They were
complete strangers to the politicians,
but they had evidently profited by the
politician's methods and were able by
organized and united effort to nominate
the entire ticket
"As soon as it became plain that the
primary was out of their control the
regular ring withdrew in disgust and
nominated another ticket The Nows
simply calls tho attention of all decent
citizens to the fact that this last ticket
contains the names of whisky men, and
the line is distinctly and sharply drawn
between the machine and corrupt city
government, such as we have known
for years, and a clean, honest, capable.
businesslike city administration, such
as every good citizen ought to want
It is not necessary to remind tho people
of Raymond that the question of local
option comes up at the election. That
will be the most important question
on the ticket The crisis of our city
affairs has been reached. The issue
is squarely before us Shall we con
tinue the rule of rum and boodlo and
shameless incomoetencr. or shall we.

President Marsh read this editorial
and i hanked rod for Edward Norman
At the same time he Understood well

OQaness of the tight which was only just
begun li was no secret that The NeWI
haii lost enormously since it had been
governed by the standard of "What
would Jesus do?" The question now
was. "Would the Christian people of
Raymond stand by it'.'' Would they
make it possible for Norman to conduct
a dally Christian paper or would their
de: ire for what is called "news." in
tho way of (rime, scandal, political
partisanship of the regular sortanda
dislike to champion so remarkuble a re
form in journalism, influence them to
drop the paper and rem" ' t" f ive it
their financial support? That was, in
fact, the question Edward Norman was
aslnu r even while he wrote the Hatur
lay editorial, He knew w. 11 ngh
that his net ion expressed in thai edi
torial would cost him very dearly from
he hands of many business men of
Raymond, and still as he drove his pen
over the paper he asked another ques
tion, "What would Je ns do'.'" That
question had become a part of his life
now. It was greater than any other.
But for the first time in its history
Raymond had seen the professional
men. the teachers, the college profes
sors, tho doctors, the ministers, take
political iictiou and put themselves
definitely and sharply in antagonism to
the evil forces that had so long con
trolled the machine of the municipal
government. The fact itself was aston
ishing. President Mar.-h acknowledged
to himself, with a feeling of humilia
tion, that never before had he known
what civic righteousness could accom
plish. From that Friday night's work
he dated for himself and his college a
new definition of the worn phrase, "the
scholar in politics" Education for him
aud those who were undi r his influence
ever after meant some element of suf
fering. Sacrifice joust now enter into
the factor of development
At the Rectangle that week tho tido
of spiritual life rose high and as yet
showed no signs t.f flowing back. Rachel
and Virginia wen! every night. Vir
ginia was rapidly reaching a conclusion
with respect to a large part of her
money. She had talked it over with
Rachel and they had been able to
agree that if Jesus had a vast amount
of money at his disposal he might do
with some of it as Virginia planned.
At any rate, they felt that whatever
Jesus might do in such a ease would
have as large an element of variety in
it as tho difference in persons and cir
cumstances There could be no fixed
Christian way of using money. The
rule that regulated its use was unselfish
utility.
But meanwhile tho glory of the
Spirit's power possessed all their best
thought Night after night that week
witnessed miracles as great as walking
on tho sea or feeding the multitude
with a few loaves and fishes, for what
greater miracle than a regenerated hu
manity? Tho transformation of these
coarse, brntal. sottish lives into pray
ing, rapturous lovers of Jesus struck
Rachel and Virginia every time with
the feelings that people may havo had
when they saw Lazarus walk out of
the tomb. It was an experience full of
profound excitement to them.
Rollin Page came to all the meetings.
There was no doubt of the change that
had come over him. He wa wonderful

people of Raymond onci uld realize

went up town to their luxurious homes
they carried heavier hearts.

He asked thequostion, but did not
have much hope of an immediate an
swer There was a ray of hope in the
action of Friday night's primary, but
what the result would be he did not
dare to anticipate. The whisky forces
were organized, alert, aggressive, roused
into unusual hatred by the events of
the last week at the tent and in the
city. Would the Christian force act as
a unit against the snloon, or wonld it
lie divided 011 account of its business
interests or because it was not in tho
habit of acting together, as tho whisky
powers always did? That remained to
oe seen. Meanwhile the saloon reared
itself about the Rectangle liko somo
deadly viper, hissing aud coiling, ready
to strike its jMiison into any unguarded
part.
Saturday afternoon, as Virginia was
jnst stepping out of her house to go
and see Rachel to talk over her new
plans, a carriage drove up containing
threo of her fashionable friends. Vir
ginia went out to tho driveway and
stoi si there talking with them. They
had not come to make a formal call,
but wanted Virginia to go riding with
them BD on the lxiulevard. Thero was
a band concert In the park. Tho day
was too pleasant to be spent indoors.
"Whero have yon been all this time,
Virginia!;" asked one of the girls, tap
ping her playfully on tho shoulder with
a red silk parasol. "We hear that yon
have gone into tho show buuiucss. Tell
ns about it. "
Virginia colored, but after a mo
ment's hesitation she frankly told some
thing of her experience at tho Rectan
gle. Tho girls in the carriage began to
bo really interested.
"Tell you what, girls, let's go slum
ming with Virginia this afternoon in

heard it's an awfnl wicked, place and
lots to see. Virginia will act as a guide,
and it wonld be real" "fnn, " she was
going to say, bnt Virginia's look made
her substitute the word "interesting."
Virginia was angry. At first thought
she said to herself she wonld never go
under any such circumstances. The
other girls seemed to be of the same
mind as the speaker. They chimed in
with earnestness and asked Virginia to
take them down there.
