This fiict was impressed upon the
bishop and tho wMltmnt workers in a
startling way one morning. Perhaps no
one incident that, winter ihowi more
plainly how ninch of a momentum hail
already grown ont of the movement of
Nazareth Avenue church and the e.ction
I of Dr. Bruce and the bishop that fol
lowed the pledge to doasJestU would do.
The breakfast hour at tin settlement
was the one hour in tho day when the
whole resident family found a little
breathing space to fellowship together.
It wus an hour of relaxation. There
was a great deal of good natured re
iwrte and much real wit ami enjoyable
fun at this hour. The bishop told his
best stories. Dr. Bruce was at his best
in anecdote. This company of disciples
was healthily humorous in spite of the
atmosphere of sorrow that constantly
unfounded them. In fact, the bishop
often said that the faculty of humor
was as (iod given, as hhv other, and in
his own case it was the only safety
valve he had for the tremendous press
nre pnt upon him.
This particular Doming the bishop
was rending extracts from a morning
paper for the benefit of the others. Sud
denly he pansed. and his face instantly
grew stern and sad. The rest looked
., nnd a hush fell over the table.
"Shot and killed while taking a lnmp
it coal from a car. His family was
freezing, and he had had no work for
t months. His six children and a wife
packed into a cabin with three
l"nis on the west side. One child wrap
to l in rags in a closet."
These were headlines that the bishop
" d slowly. He then went on nnd read
towj detailed ecoonntof the shooting and
lj,. visitof the reporter to the tenement
ieM the family lived.
He finished, and there was silence
W ound the table. The humor of the
IVmr was swept ont of existence by this
it of human tragedy. The great city
tared about the settlement. The awfnl
liOarrent of human life was flowing in a
(:.reat stream past the settlement hoase,
ind those vrh worit were hurrying
to in a vast throng, bnt v ands
I wejpe going down jf ' that
torrent, clutch' " ing,
f literally in ause
'the boon of pi.. nied
them.
There were various conimen. a the
part of the resident;. One of the new
comers, a young man oreitarinn for the
t.iniHtry, said: "Why didn't the man
iply to one of the charity organiza
ons for help or to the city t It certain -
3 is not true that, even at its worst,
ia city full of Christian people would
owinglv allow any one to go without
Iod or fuel."
"No; I don't believe that it would,"
anepbed Dr. Brace. "But we don't know
paie history of that man's case. He may
Tf
ive asked for help so often before that
lally, in a moment of desperation, he
1 tennined to help himself. I have
town such cases this winter."
"That is not the terrible fact in this
"ae," said the bishop. "The awfnl
llt'Mng about it is the fact that the man
ad not had any work for six months. "
"Why don't such people go out into
I the country?" asked the divinity stn
J dent.
Some one at the table who had made
special study of the opportunities for
work in tho country answered the ques
tion. According to the investigator, tho
places that were possible for work in
the country were exceedingly few for
steady employment, and in almost ev
ery case they were offered only to men
without families. Suppose a man's wife
and children were ill. How could he
move or get into the country? How
could he pay even the meager sum nec
essary to move his few goods? There
were a thousand reasons probably why
this particular man did not go else
where. "Meanwhile there are the wife and
children," said Mrs. Bruce. "How aw
ful I Where is the place, did you say?"
The bishop took up the paper.
"Why, it's only three blocks from
hero. This is the Penrose district. I be
lieve Penrose himself owns half of the
houses in that block. They are among
the worst houses in this part of the
city, and Penrose is a church member. ' '
"Yes ; he belongs to tho Nazareth Av
enue church," replied Dr. Bruce in a
low voice.
The bishop rose from the table the
very figure of divine wrath. He had
opened his lips to say what seldom
I came from him in the way of denuncia
tion when the bell rang and one of the
residents went to the door.
"Tell Dr. Bruce and the bishop I
want to see them. Penrose is the name
! Clarence Penrose. Dr. Bruce knows
me."
The family at the breakfast table
heard every word. The bishop exchanged
a significant look with Dr. Brace, and
the two men instantly left the table
and went ont into the hall.
"Come in here, Penrose," said Dr.
Bruce, and he and the bishop ushered
the visitor into the reception room.
They closed the door and were alone.
Clarence Penrose was one of the most
elegant looking men in Chicago. He
came from an aristocratic family of
great wealth and social distinction. He
was exceedingly wealthy and had large
property holdings in different parts of
the city. He had been a member of Dr.
Brace's church all his life.
This man faced the bishop and his
firmer pastor with a look of agitation
r - countenance that showed plainly
v nnnroal experience.
He was very pale, nnd his lip trembled
ns he snoke. When had Clarence Pen
rose ever before yielded to such a strange
emotion of feeling?
I "This affair of the shooting you un
derstand. You have road it. The family
lived in one of my houses. It is a terri
ble event. But that is not the primary
cause of my visit." He stammered and
looked anxiously into the faces of th
Other two men. The bishop still looked
stern. He conld not help feeling that
this elegant man of leisure conld have
done a great deal to alleviate the hor
rors in his tenements, possibly have pre
vented this tragedy, if ha had sacrificed
some of his personal ease and luxury to
better the condition of tho people in his
district.
Penrose turned to Dr. Bruce.
; "Doctor," ho exclaimed, and there
was almost a child's terror in his voice,
I "I came to say that I have had an ex
! perinea so unusual that nothing but
I the supernatural can explain it. You
remember I was one of those who took
the pledge to do as Jems would do. I
thought at the time, poor fool that I
was. that I had all along been doing the
J Christian thing. I gave liberally out of
; my abundance to the church and char
ity. I never gave myself to cost me any
I suffering, I have been living in a per
fect hell of contradictions ever since I
took the pledge. My little girl, Diana,
yon remember, ulso took the pledge
with me. She has been asking mo a
great many questions lately about the
poor people and where they lived. I was
obliged to answer her. Two of her ques
tions last night touched my sore. Did I
own any houses where those people
lived? Were they nice and warm like
onrs? Ton know how fl child will ask
questions like these. I went to bed tor
mented with what I now know to be
the divine arrows of conscience. I conld
not sleep. I seemed to see the judgment
day. I was placed before the Jndge. I
was asked to give account of my deeds
done in the body. How many sinful
souls had I visited in prison ? What had
I done with my stewardship? How
about those tenements where people
froze in winter and stifled in summer?
Did I give auv thought to them, except
to receive the rentals from them?
Where did my suffering come in?
Would Jesus have done as I had done
snd was doing? Had I broken my
pledge J How had I used the money and
the culture and me social infJncnce I
possessed? Had I used them to bless
humanity, to relieve the suffering, to
bring joy to the distressed and hope to
tha desponding ? I had received much.
How much had I given ?
"All this came to me in a waking
vision as distinctly as I see you two
men and myself now. I was unable to
see the end of the vision. I had a con
fused picture in my mind of the suffer
ing Christ pointing a condemning finger
at me, and the rest was shut oat by
mist and darkness. I have not had sleep
for 24 hours. The first thing I saw this
morning was the account of the shoot
1 uk at the coalyards. I read the account
with a feeling of horror I have not been
able to shake off. I am a guilty creature
before Ood. "
Penrose paused suddenly. The two
men looked at him solemnly. What
power of the Holy Spirit moved the
soul of this hitherto self satisfied, ele
gant, cultured man who belonged to
the social life that was accustomed to
go its way, placidly unmindful of the
great sorrows of a great city and prac
tically ignorant of what it means to
suffer for .Tesns' sake?
Into that room came a breath such as
before swept over Henry Maxwell's
church and through Nazareth Avenue,
and the bishop laid his hand on tho
shoulder of Penrose and said: "My
brother, God has been very near to you.
Let ns thank him. "
"Yes, yos, " sobled Penrose He sat
down on a chair and covered his face.
The bishop prayed. Then Penrose quiet
ly said, "Will yen go with we to that
house?"
For answer both Dr. Bruco and the
bishop put on their overcoats nnd went
out with him to tho home of the dead
man's family. This was the beginning
of a new and strange life for Clarence
Penrose. From the moment he stepped
into that wretched hovel of a home and
faced for the first time in his life a de
spair and suffering such as he had read
of, but did not know by personal con
tact, he dated a new life. It would be
another long story to tell how, in obedi
ence to his pledge, he began to do with
his tenement property as he knew Jesus
would do. What would Jesus do with
tenement property if he owned it in
Chicago or any other great city of the
world? Any man who can imagine any
true answer to this question can easily
tell what Clarence Penrose began to da
Now, before that winter reached its
bitter climax many things occurred in
the city that concerned the lives of all
the characters in this history of the dis
ciples who promised to walk in his steps.
It chanced, by one of those remark
able coincidences that seem to occur
pretermit nrally. that one afternoon, just
as Felicia came out of the settlement
with a basket which she was going to
leave as a sample with a baker in the
Penrose district, Stephen Clyde opened
the door of the carpenter shop in the
basement and came out of the lower
door in time to meet Felicia as she
reached the sidewalk.
"Let me carry your basket, please,"
ho said.
"Why do you say 'please?' " asked
Felicia, handing over the basket.
"I would like to say something else, "
replied Stephen, glancing at her shyly
and yet with a boldness that frightened
him, for he had been loving Felicia
more every day since he first saw her,
and especially since she stepped into the
shop that day with the bishop, and for
weeks now they had been in many ways
thrown into each other's company.
"What else?" asked Felicia innocent
ly, falling into the trap.
"Why," said Stephen, turning his
fair, noble face full toward her and
eying her with the look of one who
would have the best of all things in the

universe, "1 won Id rise to say, Let me
carry your basket, dear Felicia.' "
Felicia never looked so beautiful in
her life. She walked on a little way
without even turning her face toward
him. It was no secret with her own
heart that she had given it to Stephen
some time ago, Finally she turned and
said shyly, while her face grew rosy
and her tyes tender. "Why don't, you
say it, then ?"
"May I?" cried Stephen, and he was
so careless for a minute of the way he
held the basket that Felicia exclaimed :
"Yes! Bnt. oh. don't drop my goodies!"
"Why, I wouldn't drop anything so
precious for all the world, 'dear Fe
licia.' " said Stephen, who now walked
on air for several blocks, nnd what else
was said during that walk is private
correspondence that wo have no right
to read, only it is matter of liisU.y that
day that the basket never reached its
destination and that over in the other
direction late in the afternoon the
bishop, walking along quietly in a
rather secluded spot near the outlying
part of the settlement district, heard a
familiar voice say, "But tell me, Fe
licia, when did you begin to love me?"
"I fell in love with a little pine shav
ing jn it above your ear that day I saw
you in the shop. ' ' said the other voice,
with a laugh so clear, so pure, so sweet,
that it did one good to he "
The nest uumient the ,' nuop turned
the corner and came upo them.
"Where are you going with that
basket ?' ' he tried to say sternly.
"We're taking it to where are we
taking it to, Felicia?"
"Dear bishop, we are taking it home
to begin"
"To begin housekeeping with," fin
ished Stephen, coming to the rescue.
"Are you ?" said the bishop. "I hope
yon will invite me in to share. I know
what Felicia's cooking is."
"Bishop, dear bishop, "said Felicia,
nnd she did not pretend to hide her
happiness, "indeed you shall always be
the most honored guest. Areyonglad?"
"Yes. I am," replied the bishop, in
terpreting Felicia's words as she wished.
Then he paused a moment and said
gently, "God bless you both !" and went
his way. with a tear in his eye and a
prayer in his heart, and left them to
their joy.
Yes : shall not the same divine power
of love that belongs to earth be lived
and sung by the disciples of the man of
sorrows and the burden bearer of sins ?
Yes, verily ! And this man and woman
shall walk hand in hand through this
great desert of human woe in this city,
strengthening esch other, growing
more loving with the experience of the
world's sorrows, walking in his steps
even closer yet because of this love,
bringing added blessings to thousands
of wretched creatures because they are
to have a home of their own to share
with the homeless. "For this cause,"
said our Lord Jesus Christ, "shall a
man leave his father and mother and
cleave onto his wife," and Felicia and
Stephen, following the Master, love him
I with deeper, truer service and devotion
because or the earthly affection wnicn
heaven itself sanctions with its solemn
blessing.
Now, it wss a little after the love
itory of the settlement became a part of
its glory that Henry Maxwell of Ray
mond came to Chicago with Rachel
Winslow and Virginia Page and Rollin
and Alexander Powers and President
Marsh, and the occasion was a remark
able gathering at the hall of the settle
ment, arranged by the bishop and Dr.
Bruce, who had finally persuaded Mr.
Maxwell and his fellow disciples of
Raymond to come on to be present at
this meeting.
The bishop invited into the settle
ment hall meeting for that night man
out of work, wretched creatures who
hsd lost faith in God and man, anar
chists and infidels, freethinkers and no
thinkers. The representatives of all the
city's worst most hopeless, most dan
gerous, depraved elements faced Henry
Maxwell and the other disciples when
the meeting began, and still the Holy
Spirit moved over the great, heaving,
selfish, pleasure loving, sin stained city,
and it lay in God's hand, not knowing
all that awaited it. Every man and
woman at the meeting that night had
seen the settlement motto over the door,
biasing through the transparency set
up by the divinity student, "What
Would Jesue Do?
And Henry Maxwell aa for the first

was touched with a deeper emotion than
he had felt in a long time as he thought
of the first time that question had come
j to him in the piteous appeal of the
I shabby young man who had appeared
j in the First church of Raymond at the
: morning service.
Wss his great desire for Christian fel-
lowship going to be granted ? Would
the movement begun in Raymond actu
ally spread over the country ? He had
come to Chicago with his friends partly
to see if the answer to that question
j would be found in the heart of the great
city Ufa In a few minutes he would
' face the people. He had grown very
j strong snd calm since he first spoke
j with trembling to that company of
( workingmeu in the railroad shops, but
I now. as then, he breathed a deeper
: prayer for help Then he went in. and
j with the bishop and the rest of the dis
I ciples he experienced one of the great
; and important events of the earthly
; life. Somehow he felt as if this meeting
, would indicate something of au answer
to bis constant query, "What would
Jesus do?" and tonight as he looked
into the faces of men and women who
had for years been strangers and ene
mies to thea-hnrch his heart cried out.
"O my Master, teach thy church how
to follow thy steps better!" Is t'.iat
prayer of Henry Maxwell's to be an
swered ? Will the chnrch in the city re
spond to the call to follow him? Will it
choose to walk in his stops of pain and
suffering? And still over all thj city
broods the Spirit. Grieve him not, 0
city, for he wns never moro ready to
revolutionize this world than now!
CHAPTER XII.
Ye l.ickrat thnu OM thlnj. Sell ill tTtat thou
hoM ami distribute unto the poor, and thou shall
haw treasure in Ins I til And, cornc; follow me.
Win n Henry Maxwell began to speak
to the sonls crowded into the settlement
hall that night, it is doubtful if ho had
ever before faced such an audience in
his life. It is qnite certain that the
city of Raymond did not contain such
a variety of humanity. Not even the
Rectangle at its worst could furnish so
many men and women who had fallen
entirely out of the reach of the church
and all religious snd even Christian in
fluences. What did he talk about? He had al
ready decided that point. He told in
the simplest language he could com
mand some of the results of obedience
to the pledge as it had been taken in
Raymond. Eve man and woman in
that audience knew something about
Jesus Christ They all had some idea of
his character, and, however much they
hsd grown bitter toward the forms of
Christian ecclesisaticism or the social
system, they preserved some standard
of right and truth, and what little some
of them still retained was taken from
the person of the peasant of Galilee.
80 they were n teres ted in what Max
well said. "What would Jeans dot" Ho
began to apply the question to the social
problem in general after finishing the
story of Raymond. The audience waa
respectfully .tbintive. It was more than
that It was nuinely interested. As
Mr. Maxwell nt on faces all over the
hall leaned foru trd in a way very sel
dom seen in ctao "ch audiences or any
where else, except among workingmen
or the people of the street when once
they are thoroughly aroused. "What
would Jesus do?" Suppose that were
the motto not only of the churches, bnt
of the business men. the politicians, the
newspapers, the workingmen, the so
ciety people. How long would it take,
under such a standard of conduct, to
revolutionise the world ? What was the
trouble with the world ? It was suffer
ing from selfishness. No one ever lived
who had succeeded in overcoming self
ishness like Jesus. If men followed him,
regardless of results, the world would
at once begin to enjoy a new life.
Henry Maxwell never knew how
much it meant to hold the respectful
attention of that hall full of diseased
and sinful humanity. The bishop and
Dr Brace, sitting there, looking on.
seeing many faces that represented scorn
of creeds, hatred of the social order,
desperate narrowness and selfishness,
marveled that even so socn, under the
influence of the settlement life, the
softening process bad begun to lessen
the bitterness of hearts, many of which
had grown bitter from neglect and in
difference. And still, in spite of the outward
show of respect of the speaker, no one,
not even the bishop, had any true con
ception of the pent up feeling in that
room that night. Among the men who
had heard of the meeting and had re
sponded to the invitation were 20 or 80
out of work, who had strolled past the
settlement that afternoon, read the no
tice of the meeting and had come in
out of curiosity and to escape the chill
east wind. It wss a bitter night, and
the saloons were full, but in that whole
district of over 80,000 souls, with the
exception of the saloons, there was not
a door open to the people except the
clean, pure, Christian door of the settle
ment. Where would a man without a
home or without work or without
friends naturally go unless to a saloon t
It had been the custom at the settle
ment for a free and open discussion to
follow an open meeting of this kind,
and when Henry Maxwell finished and
tat down the bishop, who presided .to
night, rose and made the annoncement
that any man in the hall was at liberty
to ask questions, to speak out hie feel
ings or declare his convictions, always
with the understanding that whoever
took part was to observe the simple
rales that governed parliamentary bod
ies and obey the three minute rule,
which, by common consent, would be
enforced on account of the numbers
present.
Instantly a number of voioea from
men who had been at previous meetings
of this kind exclaimed. "Consent, con
sent I"
