    talks to" Kii)po8c Christ himself as the
oue spoaklUK to modern society ou Ittt
gins. Its needs, Its opportunities, itti
responsibilities Its everjdny life. I
shall try to bo entirely taring and Just
ami eonngMiH In giving what I be
lieve Christ himself would Rive you If
he were the pastor of Calvary church
In Milton today. So. during the talks, 1
wish you would, with me. try to see If
you think Christ would actually sny
what 1 shall say in his place. If Christ
were lu Milton today, 1 believe he
would speak to us about a good many
thiiiKM iti Milton, and he would speak
very plainly, and lu many cases he
might seem to be severe. Hut It would
be for our good. Of course I am but
human in my weakness. 1 shall make
mistakes. I shall probably say thlngl
Christ would not say. Hut always go
ing to the source of all true help, the
spirit of truth. I shall, as best a man
may. speak as 1 truly believe Christ
would if lie were your pastfjr. These
talks will be jrlven on the tirst Sunday
of every month. I cannot announce
the subjects, for they will be chosen
as the opportunities arise."
DuritiK the week Philip spent several
hours of each day In learning the facts
concerning the town, one of the Brat
tilings he did was to buy an accurate
map of the place. lie bung it up on
the wall of his study and in after days
found occasion to make Rood use of it.
He spent afternoons walking over the
town. lie noted with special interest
and earnestness the treat brick mills
by the river, live enormous structures
with immense chimneys, out of which
poured treat volumes of smoke. Snni"
thinK about the mills fascinated him.
They seemed like monsters id' some
sort, trim, unfeeling, but terrible. As
one walked by them he seemed to feel
the throbbing of the hearts of live crea
tures. The nnpalnted tenements. Dgly
in their unfailing similarity, affected
I'lilllp with a sense of almost anger.
He had a keen and truthful taste In
matters of architecture, and those
boxes of houses offended every artistic
and homelike feclint in ntm. Coming
home one day past the tenements, he
found himself In an unknown street,
and for the curiosity of It be undertook
to count the saloons on the street In
one block. There were over 12. There
was a policeman on the corner as I'lill
lp reached the crossing, and ho In
iulred of the officer If he could tell him
who owned the property In the block
containing the saloons.
"I believe most of the houses belong
to Mr. Winter, sir."
"Mr. William Winter?" asked Philip.
"Yes, 1 think that's the name. He is
the largest owner In the Ocean mill
yonder."
Philip thanked the man and went on
toward home. "William Winter!" he
exclaimed. "Is It possible that man
will accept a revenue from the renting
of bis property to these vestibules of
hell? That man! One of the leading
members In my church! Chairman of
the board of trustees and a leading citi
zen of the place! It does not seem pos
sible!" But before the week was out Fhlllp
had discovered facts that made his
heart burn with shame and his mind
rouse with Indignation. Property In
the town which was being used for sa
loons, gambling houses and dens of
wickedness wns owned In large part
by several of the most prominent mem
bers of Ills church. There was no
doubt of the fact. Philip, whose very
nature was frankness itself, resolved
to go to these men and have a plain
talk with them nbout it. It seemed to
him like a monstrous evil that a Chris
tian believer! a church member, should
be renting his property to these dens of
vice and taking the money. He called
on Mr. Winter, but he was out of town
and would not be back until Saturday
ulght. He went to see another member
who was a large owner in one of the
mills and a heavy property owner. It
was not a pleasant thing to do, but
Philip boldly stated the precise reason
for bis call and asked bis member If it
Kir?
" right, my brother?'
was true that bo rented several houses
lu a certain block where saloons and
gambling houses were numerous. The
man looked at Philip, turned red and
Dually said it was a fact, but none of
I'hillp's business.
"My dear brother," said Philip, with
a sad but winning smile, "you cannot
Imagine what It costs me to come to
Jou about this matter. In one sense it
may seem to you like an Impertinent
meddling In your business. In another
sense It is only what I ought to do as
Pastor of a church wblcb is dearer to
me than my life. And I have come to
?ou as a brother In Christ to ask you
If it seems to vou like a thins which
Christ would BDnrove thnt vou. his
disciple, should allow tbe property
hlch has come into your bands that
you may use It for bis glory and the
building up of bis kingdom to be used
"J tbe agents of the devil while you
"etp tbe financial benefit Is It right,
""J brother V
The man to whom tbe Question was
ltt made the usual excuses, that If he
not rent to these people other men
tild, that there was no call for the
"perry by other parties and If it were
rented to objectionable 'people it
(lUld lie ilUDtX at a daad luaav mn mo
forth. To all of which I'lilllp opposed
the plain will of Cod, that all a man
has should be used in clean and honest
ways, and he could never sauctiou the
getting of money through such Im
moral channels. The man was finally
Induced to acknowledge that it was not
Just tlie right thing to do and especial
ly for a church member. Hut when
Philip pressed him to give up the whole
Iniquitous revenue and clear himself
of all connection With it the property
owner looked aghast.
"Why, Mr. Stroug. do you know
what you ask? Two-thirds of the most
regular part of my Income Is derived
from these rents. It Is out of the ques
tion for me to give them up. You are
too nice In the matter. All the prop
erty owners In Milton do the same
thing. There Isn't a man of any means
in the church who Isn't deriving some
revenue from tills source. Why, a large
part of your salary is paid from these
very rents. Vou will tot Into trouble
If you try to meddle In this matter. I
don't take offense. I think you have
done your duty. Ami I confess it
doesn't seem exactly the thing. Hut,
ns society Is organised, 1 don't see that
we can change the matter. Better not
try to do anything about It. Mr. Strong.
The church likes you and will stand by
In giving you a handsome support, but
men are very touchy when their pri
vate business is meddled with."
Philip sat listening to this speech,
and his lace grew whiter and be
clinched his hands tighter ns tbe man
went ou When be had Qntshed, Philip
spoke In a low voice:
"Mr. Bentley, you do not know tne
If you think any fear of the conse
quences will prevent my speaking to
the members of my church on any mat
ter where it seems to me 1 ought to
speak. In this particular matter I be
lieve it is not only my right but my
duty to speak. I would be shamed be
fore my Lord and Master If 1 did not
declare his w ill In regard to the uses of
property. This question passes over
from one of private business, with
which I have no right to meddle, into
the domain of public safety, where 1
have a right to demand that places
which are fatal to the life and morals
Of the young men ami women of the
town shall not bo encouraged and al
lowed to subsist through the use of
property owned nnd controlled by men
' of influence In the community and es
j pccially by the members of Christ's
body. My brother." Philip went on
after a painful pause, "before Cod, In
whose presence we shall stand at last,
am I not right in my view of this mat
ter? Would not Christ say to you Just
what I am now snylng?"
Mr. Bentley shrugged his shoulders
and said something about not trying to
mix up business and religion. Philip
sat looking nt the man, reading him
through and through, his heart almost
bursting In him at the thought of what
a man would do for the sake of money.
At last he saw that he would gain
nothing by prolonging the argument
He rose, and with the same sweet
frankness which characterized his
opening of the subject he said: "Broth
er, I wish to tell you that It Is my In
tention to spenk of this matter next
Sunday In the first of my talks on
'Christ and Modern Society.' I be
lieve It Is something ho would talk
about in public, and I will speak of It
as I think he would."
"You must do your duty, of course.
Mr. Strong," replied Mr. Beutley, some
what coldly, and Philip went out feel
ing as If he had grappled with his first
dragon In Milton and found him to be
a very ugly one and bard to kill. What
hurt him as much ns the lack of spir
itual Oneness of apprehension of evil
lu his church member was the kuowl
edge that, as Mr. Bentley so coarsely
put it, Ills salary wns largely paid out
of the rentals of those vile abodes. He
grew sick at heart as he dwelt upon
the disagreeable fact, and as he came
back to the parsonage and went up to
bis cozy study he groaned to think
thnt It was possible through the price
that men paid for souls.
"And this because society Is as It Is!"
he exclaimed, as he burled his face In
bis bands nnd leaned his elbows on his
desk, while his cheeks flushed and his
heart quivered at the thought of the
tilth and vileness the money bad seen
and heard which paid for the very
desk at which he wrote his sermons.
Hut Philip Strong was not one to
give way at the first feeling of seem
ing defeat. Ho did not too harshly
condemn his members. He wondered
nt their lack of spiritual life; but. to
his credit be It said, he did not harshly
condemn. Only, as Sunday npprouch
ed, he grew more clear In his own mind
as to his duty In the matter. Expe
diency whispered to him: "Better wait.
You have only Just come here. The
people like you now. It will only
cause unpleasant feelings and do no
good for you to launch out Into a cru
sade against this thing right now.
There are so many of your members
Involved that It will certainly alienate
their support and possibly lead to your
being compelled to lose your place as
pastor if It do not drive away the most
Influential members."
To all this plea of expediency Philip
replied, "Get thee behind me, satan!"
lie said with himself, be might as
well let the peoplo know what be was
at the very first. It was not neces
sary that he should be their pastor If
tbey would none of him. It was nec
essary that he preach tbo truth boldly.
Tho one question be asked himself
was, "Would Jesus Christ, If be were
pastor of Calvary church In Milton to
day, speak of the matter next Sunday
and speak regardless of all conse
quences?" Philip asked tbe question
honestly, nnd after long prayer and
much communion with the Divine he
said, "Yes. I believe be would." It is
possible thnt he might have gained by
waiting or by working with his mem
bers In private. Another man might
have pursued that method and still
re been a courageous, true minister.
But this Is the story of Philip Strong.
not of another man. ami tills is what
he did:
when Sunday morning came, bo
went into bis pulpit with the one
thought in mind thai lie would simply
and frankly, in his presentation of the
subject, use the IllUgttage and the spir
it of bis Master. He had seen other
property owners during the week, ami
bis interviews were nearly nil similar
to the oue With Mr. Bentley. He had
not been able to see Mr. William Win
ter, the chairman of the trustees, as he
liad not returned home until very late
Saturday night. Philip saw him come
into the church that morning, Just as
the choir rose to sing the anthem. Ho
was a large, fine looking man. Philip
admired his physical appearance as he
marched down the aisle to his pew,
which was the third from the front, di
rectly before the pulpit.
When the by inn had been sung, the
offering taken, the prayer made. Philip
stepped out at one side of tile pulpit
ami reminded the congregation that,
according to his announcement of a
week before, be would give the first of
ills series of monthly talks on "Christ
nnd Modern Society." His subject this
morning, he said, was "The Itight nnd
Wrong i ses of Property."
lb' started out with the statement,
which he ela lined was verified every
where in the word of Cod. that all
property that nun acquire Is really
only in tho nature of trust funds,
which the property holder Is In duty
bound to use as a steward, The gold
is Cod's. The silver is Cod's. The i ni
tio on a thousand bills, all laud and
water privileges and wealth of the
earth nnd of the seas belong primarily
to tho Lord of all the earth. When any
of this property comes within the eon
trol of a man. be is not nf liberty to
use it as if it were his own and his
alone, but as God would have him use
it to better the condition of life and
make men ami communities happier
and more useful.
From this statement Philip went on
to speak of the common idea which
men bad that wealth and houses ami
lands were their own to do with ns
they pleased, and he showed what
misery and trouble had always flowed
out of the great falsehood and how
nations and Individuals were today in
the greatest distress because of the
wrong uses to which Cod's property
. wns put by men who had control of It.
It was easy then to narrow the argu
ment to the condition of affairs In
Milton. As he stepped from the gener
al to the particular and began to speak
of tin1 rental of saloons and houses of
gambling from property owners In
Milton nnd then characterised such a
I use of God's property as wrong and
un-Chrlstlan It was curious to note the
effect on the congregation. Men who
had been listening complacently to
i'hillp's eloquent but quiet statements,
ns long as ho confined himself to dis
tant historical facts, suddenly became
aware that the tall, pnle faced, resolute
nnd loving young preacher up there
wns talking right at them, nnd more
than one mill owner, merchant, real
estate dealer and even profession
al mail writhed Inwardly nnd nerv
ously shifted In his cushioned pew
ns Philip spoke In the plainest
terms of the terrible example set
the world by the use of property
for purposes Which were destructive to
nil true society and a Shame to civiliza
tion and Christianity. Philip con
trolled his voice and his manner admi
rably, but he drove the truth home and
spared not. Ills voice nt no time rose
above n quiet conversational tone, but
It was clear and distinct The audience
sat bushed in the spell of a geuine sen
sation, which deepened when, at the
close of a tremendous sentence which
swept through the church like a red
1 hot flame, Mr. Winter suddenly arose
in his pew. passed out Into the aisle
and marched deliberately down and
I out of the door. Philip saw him ami
1 knew the reason, hut marched straight
on with his message, and no one, not
; even bis anxious wife, who endured
martyrdom for him that morning,
could detect itqv disturbance In Philip
from tbe mill owner's contemptuous
withdrawal.
When Philip closed with a prayer of
tender appeal that the spirit of truth
would make all hearts to behold the
truth as one soul, the audience remain
ed seated longer than usual, still under
the Influence of the subject anil the
morning's sensational service. All
through the day Philip felt n certain
strain on him. which did not subside
even when tin; evening service was
over. Some of the members, notably
several of the mothers, thanked him
With tenrs In their eyes for the morn
ing message. Very few of the men
talked with him. Mr. Winter did not
come out to the evening service, al
though he was oue of the very few
men members who were Invariably
present. Philip noted his absence, but
preached with his usual enthusiasm.
He thought a larger number of stran
gers wns present than he had seen the
Sundny before. lie was very tired
when the day was over.
The next morning ns hp was getting
ready to go out for a visit to one of the
mills, the hell rang. He was near the
door nnd opened It. There stood Mr.
Winter. "I would like to see you for n
few moment-. Mr. Strong, If you can
spare the tit MS," said the mill owner,
without ode' .tig to take the band Phil
ip extended.
"Certainly. Will you eome up to ray
study?" nsk 1 Philip quietly.
The two nen went up stairs, and
Philip shut t he door, as bo motioned
Mr. Winter to a scat and then sat
down opposl e.
to rk oomortm).
