' 1 1 am sure the first question yon will
A is, 'What has been the result of

low has it changed in any way the
""liar course of the church or the coin-
nityr
You already know something from
Dtts of Raymond that have gone over
country what the results have been,
one needs to come here and learn
etuing of the changes in individual
s. and especially tne cnange in mo
irch life, to realize all that is meant
this following of Jesus' steps so lit-
ly To tell all that wonld be to
te a long story or series of stories,
in not in a position to do that, but I
give you some idea perhaps of what
happened here from what has been
me by my friends and Henry Max -.
himself.
Ttbe result of the pledge upon tho
chnrch has been twofold it has
lit about a spirit of Christian fel-
sup which Maxwell tells me never
ore existed and which now impresses
as being very nearly what the
nstian fellowship of the apostolic
irehes must have been, and it has
itixl the church into two distinct
ts of members. Those who have ! odd.
ttken the pledge regard the others
yftoolishly literal in their attempts to
ntate the example of Jeans
borne of them nave drawn out or
chnrch and no longer attend, or
hare removed their membership

isternal element of strife, and 1
element of suffering He quoted to me
in the course of our conver-ation sev
eral times the verse from Peter. 'For
hereunto were ye called, because Christ
also suffered for yon. leaving yon an
example, that ye should ftdlow his
steps. ' ami he seems filled with the con
viction that what our churches need
today more than anything else, is this
j factor of suffering for Jesus in some
form.
"I do not know thr.t 1 agree with
j him altogether: but. my dear Caxton.
: it is certainly astonishing to noto the
I results of this idea us they have 1x0'
' pressed themselves upon this city and
upon this church
, "You ask how abont the rwrtlts on
j the individuals who have made the
pledge and honestly tried to be true to
j it Those results tire, as I have suid. a
part of individual history and cannot
be told in detail. Some of than I can
give yon. so that you may see that this
form of discipleship is not merely sen
timent or fine posing for effect
"For instance, take the case of Alex
ander Powers, who was superintendent
j of the machine shops of tho 1. ami T
R. R. here. When he acted npon the
; evidence that Incriminated the road, he
lost his position, nnd. more than that.
I team from my friends here his family
and social relations have become so
changed that the family, no longer ap
pear in public They have dropped out
of tho social circle where once they
were so prominent. By the way. Cax-
, ton. I understand in this connection
that the commission, for one reason
, and another, postponed action on this
case, end it is now rumored that the
! L. and T. R R. will pa-s into a receiv
er's hands very soon The president of
the road, who, according to the cvi
dence submitted by Powers, was the
principal offender, has resigned, and
complications which have arisen since
point to the receivership Meanwhile
the superintend) nt has gone back to his
old work as a telegraph operator. I met
him at the church yesterday He im
pressed nie as u man who had. like
Maxwell, gone through a crisis in char-
actor. 1 could not help thinking of him
I as being good material for the church
of the first century, when the disciples
had all thing! in common
"Or take the ease of Mr. Norman,
editor of The Daily News. Ho risked
his entire fortune in obedience to what
he belii veil was Jesr.s' probable action
land revolutionized his entire conduct
risk of a failure. I
iiend you a copy of yesterday paper.
1 1 want you to read it carefully. To my
mind, it is one of the most interesting
I and remarkable papers ever printed in
tho United States. It is open to criti
cism, but what could any mere man
attempt in this lino that would be free
from criticism? Take it all in all, it is
so far abovo the ordinary conception of
a daily paper that I am amazed at the
rosult. He tells me that the paper is
beginning to be read moro and more by
the Christian people of the city. He is
very confident of its final success.
"Read his editorial on tho money
question; also the one on the coming
election in Raymond, when the question
of license will again be an issue. Both
articles are of the lest from this point
of view. He says ho never begins an
editorial or, in fact, anv part of his
newspaper work without first asking,
'What wonld Jesus dor the result is
certainly apparent
"Then there is Milton Wright, the
merchant. He has, 1 am told, so revo
lutionized his business that no man is
more beloved todav in Raymond. His
own clerks and employees have nffec
tion for him that is very touching
During the winter, while ho was lying
dangerously ill at his home, scores of
clerks volunteered to watch or help in
any possible way, and his return to his
store was greetfjj with marked demon
strations. All this has been brought
about by the element of personal love
introduced into the business. This love
is not more words, but the business it
self is carried on under a system of co
operation that is not a patronizing rec
ognition of inferiors, but a real sharing
in the entire business. Other men on
the street look upon Milton Wright as

"These are only a few illustrations of
results in individual lives owing to
obedience to the pledge. I meant to

alma mater, and I knew him slightly
when I was in the senior year. He has
taken an active part in the recent mu

the city is regarded as a very large
factor in the coming election. He im

"But I am prolonging this letter,
possibly to your weariness. 1 am un
able to avoid the feeling of fascination
which my entire stay here has increased.
I want to tell you something of the
meeting In tho First chnrch today
"As I Slid, I heard Maxwell preach
At his oarnest request 1 had preached
for him the Sunday before, and this
was the first time I had heard him since
the association four years ago His ser
mon this morning was us different from
his sermon then as if it had been
thought out and preaches by some one
living on another planet 1 was pro
foundly touched I belieVB I actually
shed tears once. Others in the congre
gation were moved liko myself I lis
text was: 'What is that to theet Fol
low thou me. ' And it wus a most un
usually impressive appeal to tho Chris
tians of Raymond to obey Jesus' teach
ings nnd follow in his steps, regardless
of what others might do. I cannot give
you even the plan of tho sermon. It
would take too long. At the close of the
service there was the usual after meet
ing that has become a regular feature
of the First church Into this meeting
have come all those who made' the
pledge to do as Jesns would do. and the
time is spent in mutual fellowship, con
fession, questions as to what Jesus
would do in Special cases and prnyer
that tho one greut gnido of every dis
ciple's conduct may bo tho Holy Spirit
"Maxwell asked me to come into this
meeting. Nothing in nil my niinikturial
life, Caxton. has so moved mo as that
meeting I never felt the Spirit's proa-
ence so powerfully it was a masting of
reminiscences and of tho moat loving
fellowship 1 was irresistibly driven in
thought back to the first years of Chris
tianity. There was something alnint all
this that was ajiostolic in its simplicity
and Christ imitation.
"I asked questions. One that seemed
to arouse moro interest than any other
was in regard to the extent of tho
Christian disciples' sacrifice of personal
property. Henry Maxwell tells mo that
so far no ono has interpreted the spirit
of Jesus in such n way as to abandon
his earthly possessions, give awny all
his wealth or in any literal way imitate
tho Christians of tho order, for exam
ple, of St Francis of Assist It was the
unanimous consent, however, that if
any disciple should feel that Jesus in
his own particular case would do that
there could bo only ono answer to the
question. Maxwell frankly admitted
that he was still, to a certain degreo,
uncertain as to Jesns' probable action
when it came to the details of house
hold living, the possession of wealth
the holding of certain luxuries. It is,
however, evident that very many of
these disciples havo repeatedly carried
their obedienco to Jesus to the extreme
limit, rcgardlcs of financial loss. There
is no lack of c'ourago or consistency at
this p. .int. It is also trne that some of
the business men who took the pledge
have lost great suras of money in this,
imitation of Jesus, and very many
have, like Alexander Powers, lost valu
able positions owing to the impossibility
of doing what they had been accus
tomed to do and at the sumo time doing
what they felt Jesus would do in the
same place. In connction with those
en si s it is pleasant to record the fact
that many who have suffered in this
way have at once been helped financial
ly by those who still have means. In
this respect I think it is true that these
disciples have all things in common.
Certainly snch scenes as I witnessed at
the First chnrch at that after service
this morning I never saw in my chnrch
or any other. I never dreumed that
such Christian fellowship could exist in
this age of the world. I am almost in
credulous as to the witness of my own
senses 1 still seem to be asking myself
if this is the close of the nineteenth cen
tury in America.
"But now, dear friend, I come to the
real cause of the letter, the real heart
of the whole question as the First
church of Raymond has forced it upon
me Before the meeting closed today
steps were taken to secure the co-operation
of all other Christian disciples in
this country I think Henry Maxwell
took this step after long deliberation
He said as much to me one day when I
called non him fend we were discuss
ipg the etiect of this movement upon
the chnrch in general
" "Why he said, 'supjiose that the
chnrch meiuW rslr.p generally in this
country made this pledge and lived np
to it What a revolution it would came
in Christendom t But why not ? Is it
anv more than the disciple ought to dot
Bus he followed Jesus unless he is will
lag to do this? is the test of disciple
ship any less today than it was in Jesus
tinte? j
"I do not know n) that preceded or
followed his tho"' n of what ought to
be none outride oi Raymond, but the
j Idea crystallized today in a plan to se
i cure the fellowship of all the Christiana
In America. The churches through their
; pastors will be asked to form disciple
1 gatherings like the ono in the F.rst
j church Volunteers will be called for in
the ;-. it body of chnrch members in
the L'nitcd States who will promise to
do as JesnH would do Maxwi 11 spoke
particularly of the result of such gen
eral action on the saloon question. He
is P .Tibly in earnest over tins Ho twd
me that there was no question in his
mind that the Saloon would be beaten
in Raymond Bt the election now near
at ha. id. If so. they could goon with
some courage to do the redemptive work
begun by the evangelist and now taken
up by the disciples in his own church
If the saloon triumphs again, there will
be a terrible and. as he thinks, unnec
essary WHsteof Christian sacrifice. But,
however we differ on that point, he has
convinced his church that the lime has
come for a fellowship with other Chris
tians. fSurely, if thu First church could
work such changes In society and its
surroundings, the church in general, if
combining such fellowship, not of creed,
but of conduct, ought to stir the entire
nation to a higher life and a new can

But am I myself ready to take this

know well enough that I would have to
change very much in my life if I under
took to follow his steps so closely. I
havo called myself a Christian for many
years For the past ten years I have
enjoyed a life that hus had compara
tively little suffering in it. I am hon
estly I say it living at n long distance
from municipal problems and the life
of the poor, the degraded and tho aban
doned What would the obedience to
this pledge demand of me? 1 hesitste to
answer My church is wealthy, full of
well to do, satisfied people Thu stand
ard of their discipleship is, I am aware,
not of n nature to respond to the call
to suffering or personal loss. I say, '1
am awaro. ' 1 may bo mistaken. I may
have erred in not stirring their deeper
life. Caxton, tny riend, I have spoken
my inmost thought to you. Shall I go
back to my people next Sunday and
stand up before them in my large city
chnrch and say, 'Lot ns follow Jesus
closer; let us walk in his steps, where
it will cost us something moro than it
is costing us now ; let us pledge not to
do anything without first asking.
'What wonld Jesus do?" If 1 should go
before them with that message, it would
ho a strange and startling one to them.
But why ? Are we not really to follow
him all tho way? What is it to be a
follower of Jesus? What does it mean
to imitate him? What does it mean to
walk in his steps?"
The Rev. Calvin Bruce, D. D., of the
Nazareth Avenue chnrch, Chicago, let
his pen fall on the paper. He hud como
to tho parting of the ways, and his
question, he felt sure, was the question
of many and many a man in the min
istry and in the church. He wont to his
window and opened it He was op
pressed with the weight of his convic
tions, and he felt almost suffocated with
the air of the room He wanted to see
the stars and feel the breath of the
world
Tho night was very still. The clock
in the First church was striking mid
night As it finished a clear, strong
voice down in the direction of the Rec
tangle came floating up to him as if
borne on radiant pinions:
"Mint Jem btar th crona ilont
And ill th world (o free?
Not Ther'f a crois for arery ono.
And there' a cms for me."
It was the voice of one of Cray's old
converts, a night watchman at the
packing houses, who sometimes solaced
his lonesome hours by a verse or two
from some familiar hymn.
The Rev. Calvin Bruce turned away
from the window, and after a little
hesitation he kneeled down. "What
would Jesus dot What would Jesns
do?" Never had he yielded himself so
completely to the Spirit's searching ro
ves ling of Jesna. He was on his knees a
long time He retired and slept fitfully,
with many awakenings He rose before
it was clear dawn and throw open hia
window again. As the light in the east
grew stronger he repeated to himself:
"What would Jesus dot What would
he dot Shall I follow his steps?"
The sun rose and flooded the city

him
