'CHAPTER L
JVJT hereunto were ye called; because Chr
Iso suffered, for you,, leaving you an cxamp
that ye should follow Ids steps.
It was Friday noming'. and the Re
Henry Maxwell was trying to finish h
Sunday morning sermon. He had be
interrupted several times and w
growing nervous as the morning wo
awisy and the sermon grew very slow:
: toward a satisfactory finish.
'\- y . .'Mary," he called tonis wife asl
went np stairs after the last intemt]
lion, "if any one comes after this
-wish yon would say that I am yei
busy and cannot come down unless
is something very important. "
Yesi "Henry. But I am going ov
tojyisit the kindergarten, and yon wi
have the house all to yourself. **
- -^Th minister went, np into his stuc
and shut the door. In a few m mut
r -, he heard his. wife go ont.
He settled himself a* his desk with
sigh -of relief and began to write H
: ; text was front I Peter ii, 21.
.'For hereunto were ye called; b
canse Christ also suffered for yon, leai
ing yen an example, that ye should fo
law his steps. "
He had emphasized in the first pai
cf his sermon the atonement as a pe:
v eonal sacrifice, calling: attention to th
'?' tact of Jesus' snffering in various way*
in his life as well as in his death. H
i d gone on to emphasize the atone
ment from the side of example, givin
.illustrations from the life and teachin
I of Jesus to show how faith in the Chris
helped to save men because of the pal
tern or character he displayed for thei
imitation. He was now cn the thir
? and last point, the necessity of follow
_ lng Jesus in his sacrifice and example
He had just put down. "(3) Steps
. what are they ?" and was about t
;V)v: : enumerate them ia logical order whe
fite bell rang sharply. It was one o
^r; "those clockwork bells and always wen
off as a clock might go if it tried t
; strike 12 all at once.
Henry Maxwell sat at his desk an<
frowned a little. He made no move
ment to answer the belL Yery soon i
rang again. Then he rose and walket
over to one of his windows, which com
manded a view of the front door.
A man was standing on the steps. H<
; -was a young man very shabbily dressed
.'Loots like a tramp. " said the min
ister. "I suppose I'll have to go down
;r;, and'*
. . He did not finish the sentence, bm
went down stairs and opened the from
door.
There was a moment's pause as thc
'lp, .two mejn.stood facing each other. Thei
the shabby looking young man said:
&fe "Fm out of a Job. sir. and thoughl
maybe yon might put me in the way ol
. getting something. "
. ^ *"I don't know of anything. Jobs are
scarce," replied the minister, begin
ning to shut the door slowly.^
"I didn't know but you might per
' haps be able to give me a line to the
city railway or superintendent of the
hops or something," continued the
^onng man, shifting his faded hat from
one hand to the other nervously.
.'It would be of no use. Yon will
havir to excuse me I am very busy this
morning. I hope you will find some
thing. Sorry I can't give you some
thing to do here But I keep only a
horse and a cow and do the work my
self."
-4 Trhe Rev. Henry Maxwell closed the
door and heard the man walk down the
steps. As he went np into his study he
saw from his hail window that the man
was going slowly down the street, still
holding his hat between his hands.
There was something in the figure so
dejected, homeless and forsaken that
the minister hesitated a moment as he
stood looking at it. Then he turned to
his desk and with a sigh began the
writing where he had left on!.
He had no more interruptions, and
when his wife came in two hours later
j the sermon was finished, and the loose
leaves were gathered up and neatly tied
together and laid on his Bible, all ready
for the Sunday morning service.
"A queer thing happened at the kin
dergarten this morning. Henry." said
his wife while they were eating dinner
"Yon know. 1 went over with Mrs.
Brown to visit the school, and just aft
er the games, while the children were
at the tables, the door opened, and a
young man came in. holding a dirty
hat in both hands. He sat down near
the door and never said a word, only
looked at the children. He was evident
ly a tramp, and Miss Wren and her as
sistant. Miss Kyle, were a little fright
ened at first, but he sat there very
quietly, and after a few minutes he
went ont "
"Perhaps he was tired and wanted
to rest somewhere The same man
called here. 1 think. Did you say he
looked like a tramp?'
"Yes. very dusty, shabby and gener:
.ally tramplike-not more than 30 or 33
years old. I should say. "
"The same man." said the Rev
Henry Maxwell thoughtfully.
"Did you finish your sermoD. Hen
ry?" his wife asked after a pause.
"Yes, all done. It has been a very
busy week with me. The two sermona
cost me a good deal of labor. "
They will be appreciated by a large
audience tomorrow. I hope. " replied
his wife, smiling "What are yon go
ing to preach af>out in the morning?"
"Following Christ. I take up the
atonement under the heads of sacrifice
and example mid then show the steps
ample. "
"I am sure it is a good "sermon,
hope it -won't rain Sunday. We hav
had so many rainy days lately."'
4'Yes: the audiences have been quit
small for some time. People will no
come out to church in a storm. " Th
Rev. Henry Maxwell sighed as he sail
it He was thinking of the careful, la
boripus efforts he had made in prepar
ing sermons for large audiences tba
tailed to appear.
But Sunday morning dawned on tb
town of Raymond one of those peri ec
days that sometimes come after lonj
periods of wind and rain and mud. Th
air was clear and bracing, the sky wa
free from all threatening signs, and ev
ery one in Henry Maxwell's parish pre
pared to go to church. When the servi
opened at ll o'clock, the large buildim
was filled with an audience of the bes
dressed, most comfortable looking peo
pie in Raymond.
The First' church of Raymond be
lieved in having the best music thai
money could buy, and its quartet chou
this morning was a great source ol
pleasure to the congregation. The an
them was inspiring. All the music was
i in keeping with the subject of the ser
! mon. And the anthem was an labor t*
! adaptation to the most modern music
of the hymn:
Jesus, I my cross have taken,
All to leave and follow thee.
- Just before the sermon the soprano
sang a solo, the well known hymn:
Where he leads me I will follow.
I'll go with him, with him all the way.
Rachel Winslow looked very beauti
ful that morning as she stood up be
hind the screen of carved oak which
was significantly marked with the em
blems of the cross and the crown. Her
voice was even more beautiful than
her face, and that meannt a great deal.
There was a general rustle of expecta
. tion over the audience as she arose.
Henry Maxwell settled himself content
edly behind the pulpit Rachel Wins
j low's singing always helped him. He
j generally arranged for a song before
the sermon. It made possible a certain
inspiration of feeling that he knew
made his delivery more impressive.
People said to themselves they had
never heard such singing even in the
! First church. It is certain that if it
had' not been a church service her solo
would have been vigorously applauded.
It even seemed to Henry Maxwell when
she sat down that something like an at
tempted clapping of hands or striking
of feet on the floor swept through the
church. He was startled by it As he
rose, however, and laid his sermon on
the open Bible he said to himself he
had been deceived- Of course it could
not occur. In a few moments he was
absorbed in his sermon, and everything
else was forgotten in the pleasure of
the delivery.
No one had ever accused Henry Max
well of being a dull preacher. On the
contrary, he had often been charged
with being sensational, not in what he
said so much as in his way of saying
it But the First church people liked
that It gave their preacher and their
parish a pleasant distinction that was
agreeable.
It was also true that the pastor of
the First church loved to preach. He
seldom exchanged. He was eager to be
in his own pulpit when Sunday came.
There was an exhilarating half hour
for him as he stood facing a church full
of people and knew that he had a hear
ing. He was peculiarly sensitive to
variations in the attendance. He never
preached well before a small audience.
The weather also affected him decided
ly. He was at his best before just such
an audience as faced him now. on just
such a morning He felt a glow of sat
isfaction as he went on. The church
was the first in the city. It had the best
choir. It had a membership composed
of the leading people, representatives
of the wealth, society and intelligence
of Raymond. He was going abroad on
a three months' vacation in the sum
mer, and the circumstances of his pas
torate, his influence and his position as
pastor of tile first church in the city
It is not certain that the Rev. Henry
Maxwell knew just how he could carry
on all that thought in connection with
I his sermon, but as he drew near th?
j end of it he knew that he had at SOP.?
j point in his delivery had ail these feel
; ings. The}- had entered into the very
i substance of his thought. It might
I have been all in a few seconds of tim
! but he had been conscious of defining
j his position and his emotions as well as i
! if he had held a soliloquy, and his de
\ livery partook of the thrill of deep per
I sonal satisfaction.
I The sermon was interesting. It was
I full of striking sentences. They would
j have commanded attention printed,
j Spoken with the passion of a dramatic
utterance that had the good taste never
to offend with a suspicion of ranting or
declamation, they were very effective.
If the Rev. Henry Maxwell that morn
' ing felt satisfied with the conditions of
his pastorate, the parish of First church
also had a similar feeling as it congrat
ulated itself on the presence in the pul
pit of this scholarly, refined, somewhat
striking face and figure* preaching
with such animation and freedom from
all vulgar, noisy or disagreeable man
nerism
Suddenly, into the midst of this per
fect accord and concord between preach
er and audience, there aime a very re
markable interruption. It would be
difficult to indicate the extent of the
shock which this interruption measured
It was so unexoected. so entirelv con
trary t any thought f any'per
present, that it offered no room
argument or. for the time being, of
Kstance.
The sermon had come to a close. 1
Rev. Henry Maxwell had turned
half of the big Bible over upon
manuscripts and was about to sit do
as the quartet prepared to rise *
sing the closing selection.
All for Jesus, all for Jesus,
AU my being's ransomed powers,
when the entire congregation was st
tied by the sound of a rr an's voice,
came from the rear of the church, fr
one of the seats under the gallery. I
next moment the figure of a man ca
out of the shadow there and wall
down the middle aisle.
Before the startled congregation re
ized what was being done the man 1
reached the open space in front of 1
pulpit and had turned about, faci
the people.
"I've been wondering since I ca:
in here"-they were the words he us
under the gallery, and he repeated th<
-"if it would be just the thing to s
a word at the close of this service I
not drunk, and I'm not crazy, and I
perfectly harmless. But if I die,
there is every likelihood I shall ii
few days, I want the satisfaction
thinking that I said my. say in a pis
like this, before just this sort of
crowd."
Henry Maxwell had not taken I
seat, and he now remained standin
leaning on his pulpit, looking down
the stranger. It was the man who h
come to his house Friday morning, t
same dusty, worn, shabby looki:
young man. He held his faded hat
his two hands. It seemed to be a f
Torite gesture. He had not been shave
and his hair was rough and tangled,
was doubtful if any one like this h:
ever confronted the First church with
the sanctuary. It was tolerably famili
with this sort of humanity out on tl
street, around the railroad shops, wa
dering up and down the avenue, but
had never dreamed of such an incide:
as this so near.
There was nothing offensive in tl
man's manner or tona He was not e:
cited, and he spoke in a low but di
tinct voice. Henry Maxwell was coi
scions, even as he stood there smitte
into dumb astonishment at the even
that someh- w the man's action remin<
ed him of a person he had once sec
walking and talking in his sleep.
No one in the church made any m<
tien to step the stranger or in any wa
interrupt him. Perhaps the first shoe
of his sudden appearance deepened int
genuine perplexity concerning whs
was best to do. However that may tx
he went on as if he had no thought c
interruption and no thought of the ur
usual element he had introduced int
the decorum of the First church service
and all the while he was speakin
Henry Maxwell leaned over the pulpil
his face growing more white and sa
every moment. But he made no move
ment to stop him, and the people sa
smitten into breathless silence. On
other face, that of Rachel Winslow
from the choir seats, stared, white an
intent, down at the shabby figure wit]
the faded hat. Her face was striking a
any time. Under the pressure of th
present unheard of incident it was a
personally distinct as if it had beei
framed in fire.
"I'm not an ordinary tramp, thou gi
I don't know of any teaching of Jesu
that makes one kind of a tramp les
worth saving than another. Do you?'
He put the question as naturally as i
the whole congregation had been i
small private Bible class. He pauset
just a moment and coughed painfully.
Then he went on
"I lost my job ten months ago. I an
a printer by trade. The new linotype
machines are beautiful specimens oi
invention, but I know six men whe
have killed themselves inside of th
year just on account of those machines.
Of course I don't blame the newspapers
for getting the machines. Meanwhile
what can a man do ? I know I nevei
learned but the one trade, and that's
all I can do. I've tramped all over the
country trying to find something. There
are a good many others like me. I'm
not complaining, am I? Just stating
facts. But I was wondering, as I sat
there under the gallery, if what you
call following Jesus is the same thing
as what he taught
"What did he me^.n when he said.
'Follow ine?' The minister said"-here
the man turned about and looked np at
the pulpit-"that it was necessary for
the disciple of Jesus to follow his steps,
and he said the steps were obedience,
faith, love and imitation. But I did
not hear him tell just what he meant
that'to mean, especially the last step
What do Christians mean by following
the steps of Jesus? Tve tramped
through this city for three days trying
to find a job. and in all that time I'*
not had a word of sympathy or comic
except from your minister here, who
said he was sorry for me and hoped j
would find a job somewhere. I supper ?
it is because you get so imposed on b;
the professional tramp that you have
lost your interest in the other sort. I'm
not blaming anybody, am I ? Just stat
ing facts. Of course I understand you
can't all go out of your way to hunt up
jobs for people like me. I'm not asking
you to. but what I feel puzzled about is
what is meant by following Jesus. Do
you mean that you are suffering and
denying yourselves and trying to save
lost suffering humanity just as I un
derstand Jesus did? What do you mean
by it ? I see the ragged edge of things
a good deal. I understand there are
more than 500 men in this city in my
case. Most of them have families. My
wife died.four months ago. I'm glad
ehe is out of trouble. My little girl is
staying with a printer's family until I
find a job. Ro7iieh<>w I get puzzled
when I see so many Christians living
in luxury and singing. "Jesus. I my
cross have taken, all to leave and fol
low thee.' and remember how my wife
died in a tenement in New York city,
gasping for air and asking God to take
the little girl too. Of course I don't ex
pect yon people can prevent every one
from dying of starvation, lack of proper
nourishment and. tenement air. But
what does following" Jesus mean ? I
understand that Christian people own
a good many of the tenements. A mem
ber of a church was the owner of the
one where my wife died, and I have
wondered if following Jesus all the
way was true in his case. I heard some
people singing at a church prayer meet
ing the other night,
"All for Jesus, all for Jesus,
All my being's ransomed powers.
All mj- thoughts and all my doings,
All ray days and all my hours,
"and I kept wondering, as I sat on
the steps outside, just what they meant
by it. It seems to me there's an awful
lot of trouble in the world that some
how wouldn't exist if all the people
who sing such songs went and lived
them out. I suppose I don't under
stand. But what would Jesus do? Is
that what you mean by following his
steps ? It seems to me sometimes as if
the people in the city churches had good
clothes and nice houses to live in, and
money to spend for luxuries, and could
go away on summer vacations and all
that, while the people outside of the
churches, thousands of them, I mean,
die in tenements, and walk the streets
for jobs, and never have a piano or a
picture in the house, and grow up in
misery and drunkenness and sin. " The
man gave a queer lurch over in the di
rection of the communion table and laid
one grimy hand on it. His hat fell upon
the carpet at his feet A stir went
through the congregation. Dr. West
half rose from his seat, but as yet the
silence was unbroken by any voice or
movement worth mentioning in the
audience. The man passed his other
hand across his eyes and then, without
any warning, fell heavily forward on
his face, full length, up the aisle.
Henry Maxwell spoke, "We will con
sider the service dismissed." He was
down the pulpit stairs and kneeling by
the prostrate form before any one. else.
The audience instantly rose, and the
aisle was crowded. Dr. West pro
nounced the man alive. He had fainted
away.
"Some heart trouble," the doctor
also muttered as he helped to carry him
into the pastor's study.
Henry Maxwell and a group of his
church members remained some time
in the study. The man lay on the couch
there and breathed heavily. When the
question of what to do with him came
up^ the minister insisted upon taking
him to his house He lived near by and
had an extra room. Rachel Winslow
said: "Mother has no company at pres
ent. I am sure we would be glad to
giv,e him a place with us. " She looked
strangely agitated. No one noticed it
particularly. They were all excited over
i the strange event, the strangest that
I First church people could remember.
But the minister insisted on taking
charge cf the man, and when a carriage
came the unconscious but living form
? was carried to his house, and with the
? entrance of that humanity into the
minister's spare room a new chapter in
Henry Maxwell's life began, and yet no
one, himself least of all, dreamed of the
remarkable change it was destined to
make in all his after definition of Chris
tian discipleship.
The event created a great sensation
in the First church parish. People
talked of nothing else for a week. It
was the general impression that the
man had wandered into the church in a
condition of mental disturbance caused
by his troubles and that all the time he
was talking he was in a strange de
lirium of fever and really ignorant of
his surroundings. That was the most
charitable construction to put upon his
action. It was the general agreement
also that there was a singular absence
of anything bitter or complaining in
what the man had said. He had through
out spoken in a mild, apologetic tone,
almost as if he were one of the congre
gation seeking for light on a very diffi
cult subject.
The third day after his removal to
the minister's house there was a marked
change in his condi'-on. The doctor
. spoke of it and offered no hope Satur
day morning he still lingered, although
he had rapidly failed as the week drew
near to its close. Sunday morning just
before the clock struck 1 he rallied and
asked if his child had come. The min
ister had sent for her as soon as he had
been able to secure her address from
some letters found in the man's pocket.
He had been conscious and able to talk
coherently only a few moments since
his attack. "The child is coming. She
will be here. " Henry Maxwell said as
f he sat there, his face showing marks of
the strain of the week's vigil, for he
bad insisted on sitting up nearly every
night.
"I shall never see her in this world.''
I the man whispered. Then he uttered
with great difficulty the words: "You
have been good to me. Somehow I feel
as if it was what Jesus would do."
Aft nr a few moments he turned his
head slightly, and before Henry Max
well could realize the fact the doctor
sai-1. '"Ile is gone."

Manila, Cht. 16. 9 10 a. m.-Mail
advices from I loi io stace that there is a
great tension between the Visayans and
Tagalos growing out of the Tagaios
holding Araoeta, a leader of the Visay
ans, a prisoner, since the threatened
Visayan revolt against Tagalo domioa
tioo a mooth ago The Visayans are
incensed to the point of rebellion.
While the Tagaios nominally control
only the military organization of the
so called Filipino republic, they have
crowded out the Visayans from the civil
branch, whereat there is great discon
tent. The Tagalos are reported to be
concentrating troops on Panay, at Santa
Barbara, where Delagado, chief of the
revolutionary government, commands,
with a view of putting themselves in a
position to suppress the Visayans.
Four thousand Tagaios who have been
held in reserve at Oapiz, io the north
ern province of Panay. last week
embarked in cascoes, the fleet's purpose
being to land at Conception, whence
the troops would march to Santa
Barbara. Adverse wiods prevented
the la diog, however. Gen. Daliou's
forces, from Buena Vista, are also
reported to be going to Santa Barbara.
The insurgents wiil have 12,000 men
and 3,000 or 4,000 rifles there. Geo.
Magbauda, according to letters, plans
to attack the suburbs of Iioiio with this
force, to carry the city and slaughter
the Americans.
A body of Tagalos, estimated to
cumber between 500 and 1,000, recent
ly crossed from Sao ta Barbara to Escal
ante, on the island of Negros, for the
purpose of aiding Iotepapaisio's ban
dits io keeping uoder the inhabitants
who are friendly to the Americans.
