'I want to r:v that what Mr. Max

a printer's shop in Philadelphia for two
years. .lark was u good fellow. He lent
me $5 once when I was in a hole, and
I never (,'ot a chance to pay it back. He
moved to New York, owing to a change
in the management of the oiliee that
threw him out. and I never saw him
again. When the linotype machine
came in. I was one of the men to go
ont. jnst as be did. I have been out
most of the time since. They say in
ventions are a good thins- I won't al
ways see it myself, but I suppose I'm
prejudiced. A man naturally is win n
he lows a steady job became a machine
takes his place. Alxmt this Christianity
he tells about, it's all rijjht. but 1 never
expect to see any snch sacritice on the
part of church people. So far as my ob- j
nervation goes, they're jnst as selfish
ana as greeay roc money or wariaiy 1
success as anybody. I except the bishop
and Dr. Ernce and a few others, but I
never fonnd nineh difference between
men of the WO) id, as they're called, and
church members when it came to busi
ness and money making. One class in
jnst as bad as another there."
Cries of "That's so I" "You're right I"
"Of course!" interrupted the speaker,
and the minute he sat down two men
who were oa their feet for several sec
onds before the first speaker wus through
began to talk at once.
The bishop called them to 1 rder and
indicated which was entitled to the
floor. The man who remuined landing
began eagerly :
"This is the first time I was ever in
here, and maybe it'll bo the last. Fact
is, I'm about at the end of my string.
I've tramped this city for work until
I'm sick. I'm in plenty of company
Say, I'd like to ask a question of the
minister if it's fair. May It"
"That's for
Mr.
Maxwell to say,"
said the bishop.
"By all means,"
well quickly. "Of
replied Mr. Max
course I will not
promise to answer it to the gentleman's
satisfaction."
"This is my question." The man
leaned forward and stretched ont a long
arm, with a certain dramatic forco that
grew naturally enough out of his con
dition as a human being. "I want to
know what Jesus wonld do in my case?
I haven't had a stroke of work for two
months. I've get a wifo and three chil
dren, and I love them as much as if I
was worth a million dollars. I've been
living off a little earnings I saved up
during the World's fair jobs I got. I'm
a carpenter by trade, and I've tried ev
ery way I know to get a job. You say
we ought to take for our motto, 'What
would Jesus dot' What would he do if
he was out of work like met I can't be
somebody else and ask the question. I
want to work. I'd give anything to
grow tiivU of working ten hours a day
the way I nsed to. Am I to blame be
cause I can't manufacture a job for my
self? I've got to live and my wife and
my children. But how? What would
Jesus do ? You say that's the question
we all ought to ask. "
Henry Maxwell sat there staring at
the great sea of faces all intent on his.
and no answer to this man's question
seemed, for the time being, to le iossi
bie. "O God!" his heart prayed. "This
is a question that brings up the entire
social problem in all its perplexing en
tanglement of hnman wrongs and its
present condition, contrary to every de
sire of God for a human being's wel
fare. Is there any condition more awful
than for a man in good health, able and
eager to work, with no means of honest
livelihood unless he does work, actually
unable to get anything to do and driven
to one of three things begging for
charity at the hands of friends or
strangers or suicide or starvation?
What would Jesus do? It was a fair
question for the man to ask. It was the
only question he could' ask. supposing
him to be a disciple of Christ, but what
a question for any man to be obliged to
ask under such conditional"
All this and more did Henry Maxwell
ponder. All the others were thinking in
the same way. The bishop sat there
with a look bo stern and sad that it was
not hard to tell how the question moved
him. Dr. Bruce had his head bowed.
The human problem had never seemed
to him so tragic as since he had taken
the pledge and left his church to enter
the settlement. What would Jesus do ?
It waa a terrible question, and still the
man stood there, tall and gaunt and al
most terrible, with his arm stretched
out in an appeal which grew every sec
ond in meaning.
At length Mr. Maxwell spoke:
"la there any man in the room who
is a Christian disciple who has been in
this condition and has tried to do as
Jesus wonld dot If so, inch a man can
answer hia question better than! can."
There was a moment's hush over the
room, and then a man near the front of
the hall slowly rose. He was an old
man, and the hand he laid on the back
of the bench in front of him trembled
as he spoke:
"I think I can safely say that I here
many times been tn just snch a condi-
tion and have always tried to m a
Christian under all conditions. I don't
know that I hare always asked this
enaction, 'What wonld Jeans dot' when
I have been ont of work, but I do know
have tried to be his ilisciple at all
times. the man went on. wnli n
sad smi!' th I was more pathetic to the
bishop and Mr. Maxwell than the young
man's grin despair "yes, I have beg
ged, and I baVl been to the charity or
ganizations, and I have done every
thing when out of a job. except steal
and lie. in order to cret food and fuel. I
den t know that Jesus would have done
some of the things 1 have been obliged
to do for a living, tut I know I have
nevr knowingly done wrong when out
of work. Sometimes I think may OS he
would have starved sociier thau bog. 1
don't know. "
The i. hi man's voice trembled, and he
looked around the room timidly A si
lence followed, broken by tierce voice
from a large, black haired, heavily
bearded man who sat three seats from
the bishop The minnte be spoke nearly
i every man in the hall leaned forward
eagerly. The man who bad nafcf d the
question, "What would Jesus do in my
case?" --lowly sat down and asked the
mun next to him. "Who's ihnt?"
"That's ('arisen, the socialistic lead
er. Now you'll hear something."
"This is all bosh, to my mind." he-'
gan ('allien, while his great, bristling
beard shook with the deep, inward
anger of the man. "The whole of our.
system is at fault. What we call civi
I lieation is rotten to the core. There is
i no use trying to hide it or cover it np.

I got to have a new start in the way of
government. The whole thing needs re
constructing. I don't look for any re
form worth anything to come out of
the churches. They are not with the
people. They are with the aristocrats,
with the men of money. The trusts and
monopolies have their greatest men in
the churches. The ministers as a class
are their slaves. What we need is a
system that shall start from the com
mon basis of socialism founded on the
rights of the common people"
Carlsen had evidently forgotten all
about the throe minute rule and was
launching himself into a regular ora
tion that meant, in his usual surround
ings, before his usual audience, an honr
at least, when the man just behind him
pulled him down unceremoniously and
rose. Carlsen was angry at first and
threatened a little disturbance, but the
bishop reminded him of the rule, and
he subsided, with several mntterings
in his heard, while the next speaker be
gan with a very strong eulogy on the
value of the single tax as a genuine
remedy for all the social ills. IIo was
followed by a man who made a bitter
attack on the churches and ministers
and declared that the two great obsta
cles In the way of all true reform were
the courts and the ecclesiastical ma
chines. When he sat down, a man who bore
every mark of being a street laborer
sprang to his feet and poured ont a per
fect torrent of abuse against the corpor
ations, especially the railroads. The
minute his time was up a big, brawny
fellow who said he was a metal worker
by trado claimed the floor and declared
that tho remedy for the social wrongs
was trades unionism. This, ho said,
would bring on the millennium for la
bor more than anything else. The next
man eudeavored to give some reasons
why so many persons were out of em
ployment and condemned inventions as
the works of tho devil. Ho was loudly
applauded by the rest of the company.
Finally the bishop called time on the
"free for all" and asked Rachel to sing.
Rachel Winslow had grown into a
very strong, healthful, humble Chris
tian during that wonderful year in
Raymond dating from the Sunday
when she first took the pledge to do as
Jesus would do, and her great talent of
song had been fully consecrated to the
service of her Master. When she began
to sing tonight at this settlement meet
ing, she had never prayed more deeply
for results to come from her voice the
voice which sho now regarded as the
Master's, to be used for him.
Certainly her prayer was being an
swerod as she sang. She had chosen the
words :
ITark, the roice of Jrsua calllnc.
Follow me, follow me I
Again Henry Maxwell, sitting there,
was reminded of his first night at the
Rectangle in the tent when Rachel sang
the people into quiet. The effect was
the same here. What wonderful power
a good voice consecrated to the Master's
service always is! Rachel 'a great nat
ural ability would have made her one
of the foremost opera singers of the age.
Surely this audience had never before
heard such melody. How conld it ? The
men who had drifted in from the street
sat entranced by a voice which "back
in the world" never conld be heard by
the common people because the owner
of it would charge fa or $8 for the
privilege. The song poured ont through
the hall as free and glad as if it were a
foretaste of salvation itself.
Carlsen, with bis great black bearded
face, absorbed the music with the deep

love of it peculiar to his nationality,
and a tear ran over his cheek and glis
tened in his beard as his face softened 1
and became almost noble in Its aspect I
The man out of work who had wanted
to know what Jesus wonld do in his
phco sat with grimy hand on the back
of the bench in front of him, with his
i;..v i!i parti; op n. bis great tragedy
for tl.e moment forgotten, Tho song
while it lasted was food and work and
warmth and onion with his wife and !
babies once mere. The man who bad
pokon 16 fiercely r.gainst tho churches
mill the ministers sat wit.i bin a cd
rect at first, with a look of stolid re
sistance, as if he Btr.DCcrniy rescntea
the introduction Into the I icrcises of 1
anything that was even remotely con
nected with the church or its form of
worship, but gradually he yielded to
the power that waa swaying the hearts
f all the persons in that room, and a
look of s.id tlamghtfuluejs crept over
his face.
The bishop said to himself that night
while Rachel was singing that if tho
world of sinful, diseased, depraved, lost
humanity could only have the gospel
preached to it by consecrated prima
donnas and professional tenors and altos 1
and bassos hu believed it would hasten
the coming of the kingdom quicker
than any other one force. "Why, oh.
Why, he cried in his heart as he lis
tened, ' "has the world's great treasuro in
song beeu so often held far from the 1
uoor because tho personal tKssessor of 1
voice or fingers capable of stirring di- j
vinest melody has ho often regarded the .
gift as something with which to make
money? Shall there bo no martyrs
among the gifted ones of the earth 1
Shall there be DO giving of this great
gift as well as of others?"
And Henry Maxwell again, as before,
Called up that other audience at the
Rectangle, with Increasing longing for
a larger spread of the new diseipleship.
What he bad seen and heard at the set
tlement burned into him deeper the be
lief that the problem of the city wonld
be Solved if the Christians in it should
once follow Jesus as he gave command
ment. Hut what of this great mass of
humanity, neglected and sinful, tho
very kind of humanity the Suvionr
came to save, with all its mistakes and
narrowness, its wretchedness and loss ;
of hope alxive all, its unqualified bit
terness toward the church t that was
what smote Henry Maxwell deepest.
Was the church, then, so fur from the
Master that tho people no longer found
him in the church? Was it true that
the church had lost its power over the
very kind of humanity which in the
early ages of Christianity it reached in
the greatest numbers? How much was
true in what the socialist leader said
about the uselessness of looking to the
church for reform or redemption be
cause of the selfishness and seclusion
and aristocracy of its members?
Ho was more and more impressed
with the appalling fact that the com
paratively few men in the hall, now
being held quiet for awhile by Rachel's
voice, represented thousands of others
just like them, to whom a church and
a minister stood for less than a saloon
or a beer garden as a sonrce of comfort
or happiness. Ought it to lie sot If the
shurch members were all doing or Jesus
would do, could it remain true that
armies of men would walk the streets
for jobs and hundreds of them curse
the church and thousands of them find
in the saloon their best friend ? How
far were the Christians responsible for
this human problem that was personally
illustrated rig'..t in this hall tonight?
Was it true that the great city churches
would, as a rule, refuse to walk in Je
sus' steps so closely as to suffer, actual
ly suffer, for his sakeT
Henry Maxwell kept asking this ques
tion even after Rachel had finished sing
ing and the meeting bad come to an
end, after a social gathering which was
very informal. He asked it while the
little company of residents, with the
Raymond visitors, were having a devo
tional service, as the custom in the set
tlement was. He asked it during a con
ference with the bishop and Dr. Bruce
which lasted until 1 o'clock. He asked
it as he kneeled again before sleeping
and poured out his soul in his petition
for spiritual baptism on the church in
America such as it had never known, j
He asked it the first thing in the morn- '
ing and all through the day as he went
over the settlement district and saw the
life of the people so far removed from
the life abundantly. Would the chnrch
1
members, wonld the Christians, not
enly in the churches of Chicago, but
throughout the country, refuse to walk
ki his stejw ir. in order to do so. they
mnst actnully take Bp a cross and fol

tinually demanded answer Me had

r; on a 11 w OTpl : once. The definition
of his own difcipleship was receiving
an added tost at this time, and he ns
being led into a larger truth of Iris
Lord.
Tho great church was filled to its nt
most Henry Maxwell, coming into the
pulpit from that all right, vigil, felt the
pressure of a great ciiiu.-ity on the part
of the people. They hail heard of the
Raymond movement, as all the churches
had. and the recent action of I'r. Bruce
had added to the general interest in the
pledge. With this curiositv was some
thing deeper, more serious. Mr. Max
well felt that also, and in the knowledge
that the Spirit's prest nee was his living
strength he brought his message and
gave it to the church that day.
U' had never been what wonld be
called a great preacher. He had not the
I force or the quality that makes remark
able preachers, liut ever since be had
promised to do as Jesus would do he
had grown In a certain quality of per
suasiveness that had all the essentials of
true eloquence. This morning the peo
ple felt the complete sincerity and hu
mility of a man who had gone deep into
tho heart of a great truth. After tell
ing briefly of some results in his own
church in Raymond since the pledge
1 was taken he went on to ask the qncs
! tion he had been asking since the settle
ment meeting. He hud taken for his
theme the story of tho young man who
came to Jesus asking what ho must do
I to obtain eternal life. Jesus had tested
him: "Sell all that thou hast and give
to tho poor, and thou shall have treasure
in heaven. And, come; follow 1110."
l!nt the young man was not willing to
suffer to that extent. If following Jesus
meant suffering in that way. he was
' not willing. He wonld like to follow
Jcbus, but not if he bud to give up bo
much.
"Is it true," connned U nry Max
well, and his f ghtfnl face
glowed with a appeal that
stirred the ptOOMJ 1 mey had seldom
been stirred "is it .mo that the church
of today, the chnrch that is called after
Christ's own name, would refuso to
follow Jesus at tho expense of suffering,
of physical loss, of teniMirary gaiu?
The statement was made at a largo
gathering in the settlement last week
by a leader of workingmen that it was
hopeless to look to tho church for any
reform or redemption of society. On
what was that statement based? Plain
ly on the assumption that the church
contained for the most part men and
women who thought more of their own
ease and luxnry than of the sufferings
and needs and sins of humanity. How
far was that true? Axe the Christians
of America ready to have their disciple
ship tested? How about the men who
possess largo wealth? Are they ready to
take that wealth and use it as Jesus
, would ? How about tho men and women
of great talent? Aro they ready to con
secrate that talent to Immunity, as Jesns
undoubtedly would do?
"Is it not true that the call has come
1 in this age for a new exhibition of dis-
cipleship, Christian discipleship? You
' who live in this great, sinful city must
know that better than I do. Is it possi
: ble you can go yonr ways careless or
thoughtless of the awfnl condition of
! men and women and children who aro
j dying, body and soul, for Christian
I help? Is it not a matter of concern to
I you personally that tho saloon kills its
I thousands more surely than war ? Is it
j not a matter of personal suffering in
some form for you that thousands of
ablebodied, willing men tramp the
streets cf this city and all cities crying
for work and drifting into crime and
suicide because they cannot find it ? Can
you say that this is none of your busi
ness? Let each man look after himself?
Would it not be true, think yon, that
if every Christian in America did as
Jesus would do society itself, tho busi
ness world yes, tho very political sys
tem under which our commercial and
governmental activity is carried on
would be so changed that human suffer
ing would be reduced to a minimum?
"What would be the result if all the
church meni 'rs of this city tried to do
as Jesus would do? It is not possible to
say in detail what tho effect would be,
but it is easy to say, and it is true, that
instantly the human problem would be
gin to find an adequate answer.
