Powerful influences in our civilization

prill not uecessarily be weak because
t is good. Oood things are more iow-
t'rful than bad. The ouestion with me
is largely one of support from the Chris
tian people of Raymond. There are over
!U,000 church members hero in the
ity. If half of them will stand by The
N'ews, its life is assured. What do you

I don't know enough about it to

the paper with all my heart. If it lives

thing Will M to issue such a paper, as '
fiearaswecan judge, as Jesus probably
would and pnt into it all the elements
lof Christian brains, strength, intelli
gence and sense and command respect
by the absence of bigotry, of fanati
cism, narrowness and anything else that
is contrary to the spirit of Jesus. Such
u paper will call for the best that hu
man thought and action are callable of
,i ving. The greatest minds in the Wl rld
would have their powers taxed to the
utmost to issue a Christian dailv."
Yes," Edward Norman spoke hum
bly. "I shall make great mistakes, no
lonbt. I need a great deal of wisdom.
But I want to do as Jesus would.
What would he do?' I have asked it
laily and shall continue to do so anil
ibido by results. "
"'I-think we aro beginning to under
hand, " said Virginia, "the meaning of
mat command, 'Grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Tesus Christ. ' I am sure I do not know
ill that he would do in detail until I
know him better. ' '
That is very true," said Henrv
Maxwell. "Iam beginning to nnder-
tand that I cannot interpret tho prob
able action of Jesus until I know better
what his spirit is. To my mind the
(rreatest question in all of human life is
rammed up when we ask, 'What would
Jesus do?' if as we ask it we also try
to answer it from a growing knowledge
of Jesus himself. We must know Jesus
before we can imitate him. " I
When the arrangements had been moral teaching was not bad, but nei
ado between Virginia and Edward ther was it Christian in any positive
orman, he found himself in possession
f tho sum of 1500,000, exclusively his1
to nse for the establishment of a Chris-1
tian daily paper. When Virginia and!
Henry Maxwell had gone, Norman!
losed his door and, alone with the,
Divine presence, asked like a child for
holp from his all powerful Father. All j
through his prayer as he kneeled beforo
his desk ran the promise, "If any nan
lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who:
giveth to all men liberally and up-,
raideth not, and it shall be given ;
him." Surely his prayer would be an-j
(wered and the kingdom be advanced j
through this instrument of God's pow-;
t, this mighty press which had lecome
Ei largely degraded to the base uses of
lan's avarice and ambition.
Two months went by. They were full
kf action and results in the city of Ray
iuond and especially in the First church.
Ann mntta r,t tl.n nnrn,l,li hoot !,.,
wnmmer season, the after meeting of
the disciples who bad made the pledge
to do as Jesns would do continued with
enthusiasm and power. Gray had fin
ished his work at the Rectangle, and an
outward observer going through the
ilace could not have seen any difference
in the old conditions, although there was
in actual change in hundreds of lives,
tat the saloons, dens, hovels, gambling
looses, still ran, overflowing their vile
leas into the lives of fresh victims to
laku the place of those rescued by the
angelut, and the devil recruited his
very fast.
Henry Maxwell did not go abroad.
id of that he took the money he
been saving for the trip and quiet-
b
arranjrcu a summer vacation for a
le family living down in the Rec-
angle who had never gone onteide of
On! distifct of the tenement. The
pastor of the First church will never
forget the week he spent with this fam
ily making the arrangements. He went
down into the Rectangle one hot day
when somethimc of the terrible heat of
the tenements was leginiiiug to be felt
and helped the family to the station
and then went with them to a beautiful
spot on the coast, where, in the home!
of a Christian woman, these bewildered:
city tenants breathed for the first time
in years the Cool salt air and felt blowj
about them the pine secnted fragrance
ui a new lease of life.
There was a siekly baby with the
mother three other children, one a
eripple. The father, who had lieen out
of work until he had been, as he after
ward confessed to Maxwell, several
times mi the verge of suicide, sat with
the baby in his arms during the jour
ney, and when Maxwell started back to
Raymond after seeing the family set
tled the man In Id his, hand at parting
and choked with his utterance audi
Anally broke down, to Maxwell's great!
ci infusion. Tin- mother, a wearied,
wornont woman, who had lost three
children the year b fere from a fever
scourge in the Rectangle, sat by the
car window all the way and drank in
the d- lights of sea and sky and field. It
was all a miracle to her, and Henry
Maxwell, coming back into Raymond
at the end of that week, feeling the
scorching, sickening heat all the more
because of his little taste of the m ean
breezes, thanked God for the joy he had
witnessed and enu red upon his disci
pleship with a. hnmble heart, knowing
for almost the flrsl time in his life this
special kind of sacrifice, fur never be
fore had he denied himself his regular
summer trip away from the heat of
Raymond, whether he felt in any great
need of rest or not.
"It is a fact," he said in reply to sev
eral inquiries on the part of his chnrch,
"I do Hot feel in lieedof a vacation this
year. 1 am very well and prefer to stay
lure." It was with a feeling of relief
that hi' succeeded in concealing from
every one but his wife what he had
done with this other family. He felt
the need of doing anything of that sort
without display or approval from others.
So the rammer came on, and Henry
Maxwell grew into larger knowledge of
his Lord. The First church was still
swayed by the power of the Spirit.
Maxwell marveled at the continuance
of his stay, lie knew very well that
from the beginning nothing but the
Spirit's presence had kept the church
from lieing torn asunder by this re
markable testfiig it had received of ite
discipleship. Even now thertJ were
many of the members among those who
had not taken the pledge who regarded
the whole movement as Mrs. Winslow
did, in the nature of a fanatical inter
nrfit,,tin nf Christian rtntv nd ln,.Vl
l nit. aiDBU ill n- i f i n'- sni iii uin-
irfn. nnA . ;Ilflnnr th
Soirit, and Henrv Maxwell went his
that rmratner doina his narish work
in great joy, keeping up his meetings
with the railroad men, as he had prom
ised Alexander Powers, and dailv grow-
ing into a better knowledge of the
Master.
Early one evening in August, after a
day of refreshing coolness, following a
long period of heat, Jasper Chase walk
ed to the window of his room in the
1 apartment house OH the avenue and
looked out.
On his desk lay a pile of manuscript
: Sinee that evening when he had spoken
', to Rachel Winslow he had not met her.
His singularly sensitive nature, sensi
tive to the point of irritability when he
I was thwarted, seemed to thrust him
Into an isolation that was intensified
I by his habits as an author.
All through the heat of the summer
he had been writing. Ilsf book was
nearly done now. He had thrown him
' self into its construction with a feverish
! strength that threatened at any moment
i to desert him and leave him helpless,
j He had not forgotten his pledge with
the other church members at the First
, church. It had forced itself upon his

since Rachel had said no to him. He
had asked a thousand times, "Would
Jesus do this?" "Would he write this
tory !" It was a society novel, written
jn a style that had proved popnlar. It
had no purpose except to amuse. Its
way. Jasper Chase knew that such a
Htory would sell. Ho was conscious of
powers in his way that the social world
petted and admired What would Jesns
do? The question obtruded on him at
the most inopportune times. He be-
came irascible over it. The standard of
Jesus as an author was too ideal. Of
conrso Jesus would nse his powers to
produce something useful or helpful or
with a purpose, what was he, Jasper
Chase, writing this novel for? Why,
what nearly even- writer wrote for
namely, money and fame as a writer,
There was no secret with him that he
was writing this new story with that
object. Ho was not pi sir and so had no
temptation to write for money, but he
was urged on by his desire for fame as
much as nnything. He must write this
kind of matter. But what would Jesus
do? The question plagued him even
more than Rachel's refusal. Was he
going to break his promise?
As he stood at the window Rollin
Page came out of the clubhouse just op
posite. Jasper noted his handsome face
and noble figure as he started down the
street. He went back to his desk and
turned .over some papers there. Then
ho returned to the window. Rollin was
walking down past tho block, and Ra
chel Winslow was walking beside him.
Rollin must have overtaken her as she
was coming from Virginia's that after
noon. Jasper watched the two figures until
they disappeared in the crowd on the
walk. Then he turned to his desk and
began to write. When he had finished
the last page of the last chapter of his
Saved

CHAPTER VIII.
Wliat In tint to thee! follow th u n
When Rollin started down tho Btrcct
that afternoon that Jasper stood looking
out of his window, he was not thinking
of Rachel Winslow and did not expect
to see her anywhere. He had come sud
denly upon her us she turned Into the
avenne, and his heart had leaped up at
tho sight of her. He walked along by
her now rejoicing, after all. In a little
moment of this earthly love he could
not drive out of his life.
"I have just been over to see Vir
ginia, " snid Rachel "She tells me the
arrangi ments are nearly completed for
the transfer of the Rectangle property."
"Yes; it has been a tedious case in
the courts. Did Virginia show you all
the plans and specifications for build
ings t"
"We looked over a good many. It is
astonishing to me where Virginia has
managed to get all her id
work. "
"Virginia knows more now about 1
Arnold Toynl en I east end London
and institutional cnurcnwork in Amer
ica than a good many professional slum
workers, she has been spending nearly
all summer in getting information."!
Rollin was beginning to feel more at
ease as they talked over this coming
work tor humanity. It was sale com
Uiiiu ground.
"What have yon been doing all sum
mer? I have not Been much of you,'
I
Rachel suddenly asked, and then her 1
face wanned with its quick flush of j
tropical color, as if she might have im
plied too much interest in Rollin or too
much regret at not seeing him oftener. ,
"I have been busy," replied Rollin'
briefly.
"Tell me something alsmt it, " per
sisted Rachel. "You say so little. Have
I a right to ask'"
She pnt the question very frankly,
turning toward Rollin in real interest.
"Yes, certainly," he replied, with a
grateful smile. "I am not so certain
that I can tell yon much. I have been
trying to find some way to reach the
meu I once knew and win them into
more useful lives. "
He stopped suddenly, as if ho were
almost afraid to go on. Rachel did not
vulture to suy,'gest anything.
"I have been a member of the same
company to which you ami Virginia bt
long, '
again
mtinned R. llin. becinnim' ,
'1 have made the pledge to do !
as I believe Jesus Would do, and It is
in trying to answer this question that
I have been doing my work."
"That is what I do not understand.
Virginia told mo about the other. It
seems wonderful to think that vou are
trying to keep that pledge with us. But
what can you do with the clubmen?"
"You have asked me a direct ques
tion, and I shall have to answer it
now," replied Rollin, smiling again.
"Yon see, I asked myself after that
night at the tent, yon remember" he
spoke hurriedly, and his voice trembled
a little "what pnrjKise I could now
have in my life to redeem it, to satisfy
my thought of Christian discipleship,
and the more I thought of it the more I
was driven to a place where I knew I
must take up this cross. Did yon ever j
think that of all the neglected beings I
in our social system none aro quite so ;
completely left alone as the fast yonng :
men who fill the clubs and wasto their j
time and money as I nsed to? The
churches look after the pmir, miserable i
creatures like those in the Rectangle, I
they make some effort to reach the
workingmen, they have a largo con-1
stituency among the average salary
earning people, they send money and I
missionaries to the foreign heathen, but j
the fashionable, dissipated young men
around town, the clubmen, nre left out
of all plans for reaching and Christian-
ising, and yet no class of people needs ,
it more. I said to myself : 'I know these
men, their good and bad qualities. I
have been one of them. 1 am not fitted
to reach the Rectangle people. I do not
know how. But 1 think I could possibly
reach some of these young men end
bovs who have monev and time to
spend.' Si that is what I have been
trying to do. hi n I asked, as you
did, 'What would Jesus dot" that was
my answer. It has been also my
cross. "
Rollin's voice was so low on tho last
sentence that Rachel had difficulty i'i
hearing him above the noise around
them, but she kn W what be had said.
She wanted to nr.; what his Methods
were, but she did l.ot know just bow to
ask him. Her interest in his plans was
larger than mere curiosity. Rollin Page
was so different now from the fashion
able young man who had asked her to
be his wife that rhe could not help
thinking of him ai.d talking with I in
as if he were entirely a new acquaint
ance. They had turned off tho avenue and
were going up the street u Rachel's
'home. It was the same Btreet where
Rollin had asked Rachel whj sho could
! not love him. Thi y wi re both stricki u
! by a sudden shyness as they wi nt on.
Rachel had not forgotten that day. and
I'.ollin i mid not forget it She finally
' broke a long silence by asking him what
she had not found words for before.
"In your work for the clubmen, with
your old acquaintances, what sort of
reception do tin y give you? Eow do
you approach them What uo thej
"say?"
Rollin was silent when Rachi 1 spoke.
Ho answered after a moment :
"Oh, it dip nils on the man I A good
many of them think I am a crank. I
have kept my membership up and am
in good standing In that way. I try to
be wise and not provoke any unneces
sary criticism, but you would be sur
prised to know how many of the nu n
have responded to my appeal. 1 could
hardly make yoll believe that only a
few nights ago a dozen men became
honestly and earnestly engaged in a
conversation over religious questions.
I have hail the great lov ot seeing some
of the men give up bad habits and bt
gin a new life. 'What would Jesus do 1
I keel) asking it. 1 lie answer conn s
slowly, for I am feeling my way along.
(ue thing I have found out the men
are not fighting shy of nn 1 think
I that is a good sign. Another thing I
have actually interested some of them
in the Rectangle work, and when it is
started up they will give something to
help make it more powerful, and, in
addition to all the rest. 1 have found a
way to save some of the young fellows
from going to the bad in gambling."
Rollin spoke with enthusiasm. His
face was transformed by his interest in
the subject which had now become a
part of his real life. Rachel again noted
the strong, manly, healthful tone of
his speech. With it all she knew was a
dis-p, underlying seriousness which felt
' the burden of the cross even while car
1 rying it with joy. The nest time she
spoke it was with a swift feeling of
justice due to Rollin and his new life.
"Do you remember I reproached yon
once for not having imv purpose worth
ibout this living fori" she asked, while her beati
' tiful face seemed to Rollin more beau
tiful than ever when he had won sulli
ei
nt self control to look up "I want
to say 1 feel the need of saying, in jus
I
tice to you now. that l honor you lor
your courage and your obedience to
your promise. The life you are living
now is a very noble one."
Rollin trembled. His agitation was
greater than ho could control. Rachel
could not help seeing it. They walked
along in silence. At last Rollin said
"I thank you. It has been more than
I can tell to hear you say that. " He
looked into her face for one moment.
She read his love for her iu that look,
; bnt he did not speak.
When they separated, Rachel went
j into the house, and, sitting down in
her room, she pnt her face in her hands
and said to herself: "I am beginning
to know what it means to be loved by
a noble man. I shall love Kollin Page,
after all. What am I saying I Rachel
Winslow, have you forgotten"
She rose and walked back and forth.
She was deeplv moved. Nevertheless it
was evident to herself that her emotion
was not that of regret or sorrow. Some
how a glad, new joy had come to her.
She had entered another circle of ex
perience, and later in the day she ro
joiced with a very strong and sincere
gladness that her Christian discipleship
found room for this crisis in her feel
ing. It was indeed a part of it. for if
she were beginning to love Rollin it
was the Christian man who had won
her heart. The othor never would have
moved her to this groat change.
And Rollin as he went back treasured
a hope that had been a stranger to him
since Rachel had said no that day. In
that hope lie went on with his work as
the days Aped on, and at no time was
he more successful in reaching and sav
ing his old acquaintances than in the
time that followed that chanoe meeting
with Rachel Winslow.
The summer had gone, and Raymond
was once more facing the rigor of her
winter season. Virginia had been able
to accomplish a part of her plan for
"capturing the Rectangle," as she
called it, but the building of houses in
the field, the transforming of its bleak,
bare aspect into an attractive park, all
of which was included in her plan, was
a work too large to bo completed that
fall after she had secured the property,
Bnt a million dollars in tho hands of a
person who really wants to do with it
as Jesus would ought to accomplish
wonders for humanity in a short time,
and Henry Maxwell, going over to the
Bcene of the new work ono day after a
noon hour with the shopmen, was
amazed to see how mnch had been done
outwardly.
Yet he walked home thoughtfully,
and on his way he could not avoid the
question of the continual problem thrust
into his notice by the saloon. How
much !;: .. i . done tor tne .;e iaU'.i .
after ah? Even counting in Virginia's
and Rachel s work and Mr. Gray's,
where had it actually counted iu any
visible quantity! ()f course he said to
himself that the redemptive work begun
and carried on by the Holy Spirit in
his Wonderful displays of power in the
First church and in the tent meetings
had had its effect on the life of Ray
mond, but as in walked past saloon aft
er saloon and noticed the crowds going
in and coming out i' them, as he saw
the wretched dens, as many as ever ap
parently, as he caught the brutality and
squalor and open mi cry and degrada
tion on count! ss faces of null and
wot . en and children, he sickened at tin
sigh', lb- found himself asking how
much cleansing could even a million
dollars poured into this cesspool accom
plish? Was in t the living source ot
nearly all tho human misery tiny
sought to relieve untouched as long at
these saloons did the .- deadly but legiti
mate work? What could even such un
selfish Christian discipleship as Vir
ginia's snd Ruchol's do to les. u the
stream of vice so long as the great
spring of vice and crime flowed as deep
and strong as ever? Was it nut a prac
tical waste of beautiful lives for these
young women to throw themselves into
this earthly In II when for every soul
rescied by their lacrifice the saloon
made two more that n led rescue?
1'e could not escape the question. It
was the same thai Virginia had pat to
Rachel in her statement that, in her
opinion, nothing really would ever !

But, if the s..! a were a factor in
th ' problem i f the life of Raymond, no
less were the l"i' : church and it little
company of diseiph n who had pledged
themselves to do as Jesus would do.
Henry Maxwell, standing at the very
center of the movement, was not in a
position to judge of its power as some
one from tho outside might have done.
but llaj tid itself felt the touch of
this new discipleship and was changed
in very many ways, not knowing all
the reasons for the change
The winter had gone, and the year
was ended, the year which Henry Max
well had lived as the time during
which the pledge should be kept to do
as Jesus would do. Sunday, the anni
versary of that one a year ago, in
many ways the most remarkable day
tin First church ever knew. It was
mure important than the disciples in
the First chnrch realized. The year bad
made history so fast and so serious that
the people were not yet able to grasp
its significance, and the day itself,
which marked the completion of a
whole year of such discipleship, was
characterized by such revelations and
confessions that the immediate actors
in the events themselves could not un
derstand the value of what had been
done or the relation of their trial to the
rest of tho churches aud cities iu the
country.
It happened that the week before
that anniversary Sunday the Rev. Cal
vin Bruce, I). I)., of the Nazareth Av
enue church. Chicago, was in Ray
mond, where he had come on a visit to
some old friends and incidentally to see
his old seminary classmate, Henry Max
well, lb. was present at the First
church and was an exceedingly atten
tive and interested spectator. His ac
count of events in Raymond, and espe
cially of that Sunday, may throw more
light on the entire situation than any
descriptii ti or record from other sources.
Iir. Brace's statement is therefore here
given
I.ett. r from Rev. Calvin Bruce, D.
D. , of the Nazareth Avenne church,
Chicago, to Rev. Philip S. Caxton, I).
I)., New York city:
"MY Dkak (. axto.v It Is late Sun
day night, but I am so intensely awake
and so overflowing with what I have
seen and heard that I feel driven to
write you now soino account of the
situation in Raymond as I have been
studying it and as it has apparently
come to a climax today. So this is my
only excuse for writing so extended a
letter at this time.
"You reinomlier Henry Maxwell In
the seuiiuary. I think you said the last
time 1 visited you in Now York that
ycu had not seen him since we gradu
ated. He wns ureflued, scholarly fellow,
you remember, and when he was called
to the First church of Raymond within
a year ufter leaving the seminary I said
to my wife. 'Raymond has made a
good choice. Maxwell will satisfy them
us a sermonizer. ' Ho has bocu hero 11
years, aud 1 uuderstaud that up to a
year ago he had gone on in tho regular
course of tho ministry, giving good sat
isfaction and drawing a good congrega
tion to his morning preaching service
His church was counted tho largest.
most wealthy church iu Raymond. All
tho best people attended it. and most
nf them belonged. Tho quartet choir
was famous for its music, especially for
its soprano. Miss Winslow. of whom I
shall have more to say, and, on the
whole, as I understand the fact. Max
well was in a comfortable berth, with a
very good salary, pleasant surround
ings, not a very exacting parish of re
fined, rich, respectable people, such a
church and parish as nearly all the
yonng men in tho seminary in our time
looked forward to as very desirable.
"Rut a year ago today Maxwell came
into his church on Sunday morning and
at tho close of his service made the
astoundiug proposition that the mem
bers of his church volunteer for a year
not to do anything without first asking
tho question. 'What would Jesus do?'
and after answering it. to do what in
their honest judgment ho would do. re
gardless of what the result might be to
them.
