He asked it while little company of residents, with .Raymond visitors, were having a & tionai service, as the custom in the "?l?ment was. He asked it during a < ference with the bishop and Dr. Bi "which lasted until 1 o'clock. He as it as he kneeled again before sieex and poured ont his soul in his petil for spiritual baptism on the churcl America such as it had never kne He asked it the first thing in the mc ing and all through the day as he w over the settlement district and saw life of the people so far removed fr the life abundantly. Would the chu members, would the Christians, l\ only in the churches of Chicago, i throughout the errantry, refuse to w in his steps if, in order to do so. tl taust actually take np a cross and j bw him? This was the one question that c< dually demanded answer. He I planned, when he came to the city, return to Raymond and be in his oi pulpit on Sunday, but Friday morni lie had received at the settlement a c from the pastor of one of the larg< churches in Chicago and had been i vited to fill the pulpit fer both morni: and'evening services. At first he hesitated, but finally t cepted, seeing in- it the hand of t Spirit's guiding power. He would ti Ms own question. He would prove ? truth or falsity of the charge ma against the church at the settleme meeting. Eow far would it go in i self denial for Jesus' sake ? How clo / would it walk in his steps"? Was ti church willing to suffer fer its Haste: Saturday* night he spent in pray nearly the whole night There had ne er been so great a wrestling-in his SOT: even during his strongest esperienc in Raymond. He ha!d. in faci. entert upon a new experience. The definitio of his own discipleship was receivii an added test at this time, and he WJ being led into a larger truth cf h Lord The great church was filled to its u most. Henry Haswell, coming into tl pulpit from that ail night vigil, felt tl pressure of a great curiosity on the pa: of the people. They had heard of tl Raymond movement, as ali the chnrch< had, and tue recent action of Dr. Brue had added to the general interest in ti pledge. "With this curiosity was some thing deeper, more serious. Mr. Ma: well felt that also, and in the kriowledg that the Spirit's presence was his Irvin strength he brought his message an gave it to the church that cay. Ee had never been what would b called a great preacher. He had not th force or the quality that makes remark? able preachers. But ever since he ha promised to co as Jesus would do h had grown ir. a certain quality cf per ' evasiveness that had all the essentials o true eloquence. This morning the peo pie felt the complete sincerity and hu mility cf a man who had gone deep int the heart of a great truth. After i ll ing brierly of some results iii his ow] church in Raymond pince the ple?g was taken he '.vent <n to ask the ones tion he had been asking since the settle ment meeting. He hat: taken for hi theme the story of the young man wk< came to Jesus asking what he must d< to obtain eternal life. Jesus had testet him: "Sell all that thou hast and givi to the poor, cud thou shalt have treasury in heaven. And. corn?: follow me.' But the young man was not willing tc suffer to that extent. If following Jesui meant snnering in that way. he wa; not willing, He would like to f< !'.. v? Jesus, but not if he had to give r.;> s< much 44Is it true. " continued Henry Max Tell, and his fine, thoughtful fae? glow, a with a passion of ar.:, -al that stirred the people as they had seldom been st irr; d-*4is ir true that th ? church of today, the church that is call d af?ei Christ's own name, would refuse tc follow Jesus at the expense of sxtm ring, of physical loss, cf temporary gain"! The statement vas made at a large gathering in the settlement last week by a leader of workingmen that it was hopeless to look to the 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 luxury than of the sufferings and needs and sins of humanity. How far was that true? Are the Christians of America ready to have their disciple? ship tested 1 How about the men who possess large wealth ? Are they ready to take that wealth and use it as Jesus would ? How about the men and women of great t-ilent? Are they ready to con -secrate that talent to humanity, as Jesus .undoubtedly would do? *'Is it not true that the call has come in this age for a new exhibition of dis? cipleship. Christian discipleshix>? Von who live in this great, sinful city must know that better than 1 do. Is it possi? ble you can go your ways careless or thoughtless of the awful condition of men and women and children who are dying, bod}* and soul, for Christian help? Is it not a matter of concern to you personally that the saloon kills its thousands more surely than war? Is it not a patter of personal suffering in some form for you that thousands of ablebodied, willing men tramp the streetsicf this city and all cities crying for ^rk.. and drifting, in^o crime, anc snicide\bp<-:.u-e they cannot find ii ?

It is not possible ? say in detail what the effect wonld 1 bnt it is easy to say. and it is trne, tl j instantly the human problem wonld 1 gin to find an adequate answer. "What is the test of Christian dis ! pleship ? Is it not the same as in Chris own lifetime? Have onr surror.ndir modified or changed the test ? If Jes were here today, wonld he not call ~oi of the members of this very chi..oh do just what he commanded the you: man and ask him to give up his weal and literally follow him ? I believe would do that if he felt certain th any church member thought more his possessions than of his Saviour. T. test would be the same today as the I believe Jesus would demand, he do demand now, as close a following, much suffering, as great self denial, when he lived in person on the ear and said. 'Except a man renounceth ? that he hath, he cannot be my discipl -that is. unless he is willing to do for my sake he cannot be my disciple. "What would be the result if in th city every church member should beg: to do as Jesus would do? It is not ea: to go into details of the result, bat v all know that certain things would 1 impossible that are now practiced 1 church members. Wh;:t would -7< sr.s c in the matter of wealth? Ecw won] he spend it? What principle would rei ulate his use of money*: Would he ! likely to'live in great luxury and sper ten times as mack on personal adon meat and entertainment as he- spent i relieve the needs of suffering humanity How would Jesus be governed in ti making of money ? Wonld he take rem als from saloon and other disrepntabl property or even from tenement pro: erty that was so constructed that ch inmates had nv) such thing as a hom and no such possibility as privacy c cleanliness ? "What would Jesus dc about th great army of unemployed and despe: ate who tramp the streets and cur the church or are indifferent to it. lo: in the bitter struggle for the bread tha tastes bitter when ii is earned, on ac count of the desperate convict to get it Would Jesus care nothing for them Would he go his way in conrparativ ease and comfort? Would be say it wa none or hi* bur "::- Would he exons aimsel? frota all resp* msibi?ity to remov the causes of such a condition ? "What would Jesus do in the cente of a civilization that hurries so fas after money that the very girls em ployed in great business houses**are no paid enough to keep soul and body to gether without fearful temptations, s? great that scores cf them fall and ar< swept over the great, boiling alyss where the demands of trade sacrifie* hundreds of lacs in a business that ig ?ores ail Christian duties toward thea in the way of education and niora training and personal affection ? Won h Jesus if he were here today, as a pan of our age and commercial industry, feel nothing, do nothing, say nothing, in the face of these facts, which everj busine ?an knows? "W. .t would Jesus do? Is not thal what .the disciple ought todo? Is he not commanded to follow in his steps" How much is tia..1 Christianity of the age suffering for him? Is it denying it? self at the cost of ease, comfort, luxury, elegance of living? What does the age need more than personal sacrifice ? Does the charra do its duty in following Jesus when it gives a little money to establish missions or relieve extreme cases of want? Is it .-.ny sacrifice for a man who is worth ?10.OOO.OOO simply to give ?10.000 for some benevolent work? Is not giving something that costs him practically nothing, so far as any p< rsonal pain or suffering goes? Is it true that the Christian disciples to? day in most of our churches ?aro living soft. easy, selfish lives, very far from any sacrifice that can be called sacrifice? What would Jesus do? "it is the personal element that Christian discipleship needs to empha I size. 'The gift without the giver is bare." The Christianity that attempts to suffer by proxy is not the Christian? ity of Christ Each individual Chris? tian, business man. citizen, needs to follow in his steps along the path of personal sacrifice for him. There is not a different path today from that of ! Jesus' own times It is the same path. The call of this dying century and of the new one soon to be is ca Herl for a j new discipleship, a new fellowship of j Jesus, more like the early, simple, apos ; tolic Christianity when the disciples i left all and literally followed the Mas? ter Nothing but a discipleship of this kind can face the destructive selfishness ' of the age with .any hope of overcoming it. There is a great quantity of nom? inal Christianity today. There is need of more cf the real kind We need a j revival of the Christianity of Christ We have, unconsciously, lazily, selfish? ly, formally, grown into a discipleship that Jesus himself would n< t acknowl I edge.

When Henry .Maxwell finished 1 sermon, ho paused and looked at t people with a look they never fore; and at the moment did not understan Crowded into that fashionable chur that day were hundreds of men ai women who had for years lived t easy, satisfied life of a nominal Chri tianity. A great silence fell over tl congregation. Through the silence the came to the consciousness of all tl souls there present a knowledge, stra: ger to them now fo years, of a Divii power. Every one xpected the preach to call for volunteers who would do ? Jesus would do. but Henry Maxwe had been lcd by the Spirit to deliv< his message this time and wait for r suits to come. He closed the service with a tend? prayer that kept the Divine present lingering very near every hearer, an the people slowly rose to go out. Then followed a scene that woul have been impossible if any mere ma had been alone in his striving for r< snits. Men and women in .great nr.mbe: crowded around the platform to s? Henry Maxwell and to bring him th promise or' their consecration to ti: pledge to co as Jesus, would a >. ] was a voluntary, spontaneous mov? mont that broke upon Maxwell's so; with a result he could not measure. Bti had he. not been praying for this-'vcr "thing? It was an answer that mor than met his desires. There followed this movement prayer servir? that in its impression repeated the Raymond experience. I: the evening, to Maxwell's intense joy the Endeavor society, almost to a mern ber. came forward, as so many of th church members had done in the morn ing. and seriously, solemnly, tenderly took the pledge to do as Jesus worth do. A deep wave of spiritual baptisn broke over the meeting near its closi that was indescribable in its tender joyful, sympathetic results. That was a remarkable day in th history <.?'' jhurch. but even mori so in tilt- Istory of Henry Maxwell H left the . .eeting very late. He went ti his room at the settlement, where h< was still stopping, and aft r an hom with the bishop and Dr. Bruce st ent i: a joyful rehearsal of the won?: -rfu events of the day. he : ' down to . him over again by himself all the experienc* he was having as a Christian disciple; He kneeled t > pray, as he always dir" now. before going to sleep, and it wa; while he was on Iiis knees this hight that he had a waking vision of whal might be in to-- world when once thc new discipleship had mace its way int? the conscience and consciousness ol Christendom. lie was fully conscious <*i being awake, but no less certainly did it seem t*> him that he saw certain re? sults with great distinctness, partly as realities of the future, partly as great longings that they might be realities, and this is what Henry Maxwell saw in this waking vision : He saw himself first going back to the First church in Raymond, living there in a simpler, more self de nying fashion than he had yet been willing too"bserve. because he saw ways in which he could help others who were really dependent on him for help. He also saw more dim? ly that the time would come when his position as pastor of the church would cause him to suffer more, on account of growing opposition tonis interpretation of Jesus and his conduct; but this was vaguely outlined. Through it ail ha heard the words. "My grace is suffi? cient for thee. " Ile saw Rachel Winslow and Virginia Page going on with their work of serv? ice at the Rectangle and reaching ont loving hands of helpfulness far beyond tlc- limits of Raymond. Rac-h 1 he saw married to Rollin Page, both fully con? secrated to the Mas: r's use. both tol? lo wi ag in his steps with an eagerness intensified and purified by their love for each other, and Rachel's voice sang on in the slams and dark places of de? spair and sin and drew lost souls back to God and heaven once more He saw President Marsh of the col? lege using his great learning and hw great influence to purify the city, to ennoble its patriotism, to inspire the young men and women who loved as well as admired bim to live lives of Christian service, always teaching them that education means great responsibil? ity for the weak and the ignorant Ile saw Alexander Powers meeting with sore trials in his family life, with a constant sorrow in the estrangement of wife and friends, but still going his way in all honor, seeing and living in all his strength the Master, whom he had obeyed even unto loss cf social dis? tinction and wealth. He saw Milton Wright, the merchant, meeting with great reverses, thrown upon the future by a combination of circumstances, with vast business in? terests involved in ruin, tim ?ugh no fault of his own. but coming out of all his reverses with clean Christian honor, to begin and work np to a position where he eonld again be to hundreds of young men an example of what Jesus would be in business. !

Ort r This life also the vision cast certain dark and awful shad ?.at they '.va r. not shown to him in detail. He saw Felicia aral Stephen Clyde happily married, living a beautiful life together enthusiastic..-joyful in suffer? ing, pouring out their great, strong, fragrant service into the dull. dark, terribie places of the great city and re? deeming souls through the personal touch of their home, dedicated to the human homesickness ail about them. He saw Di-. Bruce and The bishop go? ing on with the settlement work. Ile seemed to see the great blazing motto over the door enlarged. '"What Would Jesus Do?" and the daily answer to that question was redeeming the city in its greatest need. He saw Burns an i his companion and a great company of men like them redeemed and going in turn to others, conquering their liassions by the Divine grace and proving by their daily lives the reality of the Uew birth, even in the lowest and most abandoned. And now the vision was troubled. It seemed to him that as he kneeled lie be? gan to pray, and the vision was more of a longing for a future than a reality in the future. The church of Jesus in the city and throughout the country would it follow Jesus '; Was the move? ment begun in Raymond to spend itself in a few churches like Nazareth Avenue and the one where he had preacdied to? day and then che away es a local move? ment, a stirring cn the surface, but not to extend deep ead 1er ': He felt with agony after the vision again. He thought he saw the church of Jesus in America open its heart to the moving of the Spirit and rise to the sacrifice of its case und self satisfaction in the narue o? Jesus. Ile thought lie saw the motto. "What Would Jesus Do':" in? scribed over every church door and written on every church members heart. The vision vanished. It came back clearer than before, and he saw the Endeavor so? cieties all over the world carrying in their great procession at some mighty conven? tion a banner on which was inscribed. "What Would Jesus Do?" And he thought in the faces of the young men and women he saw future joy of suffering, loss, self denial, martyrdom, and when this part of t'ne vision slowly faded he saw the figure of the Son of God beckoning to him and to ali the other actors in his life history. An angel choir s >mewhere was singing. ? There was a sound as of man) voices and a. shout as of a great victory, and the figure of Jesus grew au.re and iaore splendid. l?e stood at the end of a long flight of steps. "Vis! WP! <> my master, has not the time come for this dawn of the mil? lennium of Christian history " Oh break upon tels Christendom of this age with the light and the truth!

Ile rose a: last with tue awe of one who has looked at heavenh tilings, lie fell the human forces and the human sins of tie.' worhla- never before, and. with a hope th.-.t walks hand ia hand with faith and love. Henry Maxwell, disciple of Jesu-, laid him down to sleep and dreamed of the regeneration of Christendom and saw ia his dream a church of Jesus "without spot or wrinkle or any such thiner,"* following him all the way, walking obediently in his step?.
