It was after 8 o'clock when Alexan

It waa the voice of Bachel Winslow

were walking rapidly la tho direction

Surely Rachel Yviuslow never was
sappier in her life. 8he never had sung

marvelous voice. What waa it she was

Henry Maxwell paced his study ba^k
and forth. It was Wednesday, and ne
had started to think out the subject of
his evening service which fell upon that
Bight
Out of one of hia study windows he
con Id seo the tall Chi nneys of the rail?

in bis walk After awhile ho sat dor.u
at hia desk r.ni drew a largo piece of
paper toward him
After thinking several momenta he
WTote !n large letters the following

of the asj lofj BJhg hal.it cf years in lbs

more of the spirit of Jesus in his own
life Bf hud forgotten the particular
tuhj#s't for h;s prayer asSCtiafj with
which he had U-gun his niorning study
He was so absorbed over his thought
that he did not hear the bell ring, and
ha was roused by the servant, who an
p., .v " - "- s?r?t no his
name?Mr. Gray Jdaxwell stopped to
the head of the stairs and asked Gray
to come np.
?'We can talk better tip here. "
So Gray cauio np ind stated tho rea?
son for his call }
"I want yon. Mr. Maxwell, to help
me. Of conrse yon have heard what a
wonderful meeting wo had Monday
night and last nig it Miss Winslow
has done more with her voico than 1
could, and the tent won't hold tho peo?
ple. " j
??I've heard of that It's the first
time the people there have heard her
H'a no wonder they are attracted."
"It haa been a wondeifnl revelation
to ns and a most encouraging ever t in
onr work. But I came to ask if you
could not come down tonight and
preach. I am suffering with a severe
cold. I do not dare to trust my voice
a pi in. I know it is asking a good deal
for such a busy man. but if you can't
come say so freely, tnd I'll try some?
where else."
"I'm sorry, but it's my regular prayer
meeting night," said Henry Max*veil.
Then he flushed and added: "I shall be
able to arrange it in some way so as to
come down. You can count on ma "
Gray thanked him earnestly and rose,
to go. j
"Won't you sta}* a minute. Gray,
and let us have a prayer together I
"Yes," said Gray simply. j
So the two men I neeled together in
the study Mr. Mai: well pi ay cd like a
child. Gray was touched to tears as he
kneeled there. There was something al?
most pitiful in the way this man, who
had lived bis ministerial life in such a
narrow limit of exercise, now begged
for wisdom and strength to speak a
message to the people in the Rectangle.
Gray rose and hol I out his hand.
"(Jod bless yon, Mr. Maxwell. I'm
sure the Spirit will give you power to?
night"
Henry Maxwell made no answer. He
did not even trust himself to say that
he hoped so, but he thought of his
promise, and it broc.ght a certain peace
that was refreshing to his heart and
mind alike.
So that is how it came about that
when the First church audience came
into the* lecture room that evening it
waa mot with another surprise.
There waa an ui usually large num?
ber present. The prayer meetings ever
since that remarkable Sunday morning
had been attended as never before in
the history of the First church. j
Htnry Maxwell ctme at once to the
point. He spoke of Gray's work and of
his request
??I feel as if I were called to go down
there tonight, and 1 will leave it with
you to say whether you will goon with
the meeting here. I think perhaps the
best plan IpaajM be ior a few volunteers
to go down to the Rectangle with ma
prepared to help in :he after meeting,
and the rest'remain here and pray that
the Spirit's power may go with us."
So half a dozen of the men went with
Henry Maxwell, and the rest of the au?
dience staid in the lecture room. Max?
well could not escape the thought as he I
left the room that probably in his entire
church membership there might not be
found a score of disciples who were
capable of doing vork that would sue
cessfully lead needy, sinful men into
the knowledge of Christ The thought
did not linger in his mind to vex him
as he went on his way, but it was sim?
ply a part of hia whole new conception !
of the meaning of Christian disciple
ship.
When ho and hia little company of
volunteers reached the Rectangle, the
tent was already crowded. They had
difficulty in getting to the little plat?
form. Rachel was there, with Virginia
and Jasper Chase, who had come in?
stead of the doctor * onight.
When the meetin r begun with a song
in which Rachel sang tho solo nnd tho
people wore asked t > join in tho chorus,
not a foot of standing room was left in
th i tent. The night was mild, and tho
sides of the tent w Te np. and n great
border of f.i' t s stn tched around, look?
ing in and forming >art of the audience
Aft i r Iba sin gin g und a "prayer by
one of the city pastors who were present
Gray staled the reajtOMfot bis inability
to sp-al; an ! in ais simple manner
turned the BSTVicf over to "brother
Maxwell of the Fit t church."
"Who's <ie blokeT" asked n hoarse
foica near tie* outside of lbs tent
"he rust church parson. We'vogot
do whole high Ions swell outfit to*
raigl I
"Did yorq ny Fti i church 1 I know
him. My 1 iTclloid bus got a front pew
up there." said am Ihe? voice, and th< re
was a laugh, for the speaker was a sa?
loon ke pi r
"T'rowont do life lino 'CTOas dfl dark
wave!" began a dr ink-ii man near by.
singing in such an Qnconscioua imita?
tion of a local trav< ling singer's nasal
tone that roars of laughter and jeers of
approval rose around him. The people
in tie- lent turnet' in the direction of
the disturbance There were shouts of
"Put him out!" *4 Give the Fust church
a chancel" "Song. M>ngi Give us an?
other song!'
Henry Maxw.il Stood up. and a great
Wave of actual terror went over him
This was not like | reaching |o tho well
dressed, respectable, gitod mannered
people on lbs bonl ivard. He began to
?epeuk. but the confusion Increased
Gray went down Into lbs crowd, but
did not seem able to quiet it. Henry
Maxwell raised biiarinand his voice.
The crowd in tho tent began to pay
I some, attention, but the nob e on the
"outanle lncreaeea. in a few minutes the
audience was beyond Maxwell's control.
Ho turned to Rachel with a sad smila
?'Sing something, Miss Winslow.
They will listen to you,1' he said and
then sat down and put his face in hi9
hands.
It was Rachel's opportunity, and she
was fully equal to it. Virginia was at
tho organ, and Rachel asked her to play
a few notes of tho hymn:
\ Saviour, I follow on,
Ouided by thee,
?Ming not jot the hand
That leaileth mc.
Baited he my heart and Btill;
Past 1 no further ill;
Only to meet thy will
My will shall be.
Rachel had not sung the first line be?
fore the people in tho tent were all
turned toward her, hushed and rever?
ent. Before she had finished the verse
the Rectangle was subdued and tamed,
j It lay like some wild beast at her feet,
j and she sang it into harmlessness. Ahl
What were the flippant, perfumed,
critical audiences in concert halls com?
pared with this dirty, drunken, impure,
degraded, besotted humanity that trem?
bled and wept and grew strangely, sad?
ly thoughtful under the / touch of the
diviuo ministry of thin beautiful young
woman ? Henry Maxwell as he raised
his head and saw the transformed mob
had a glimpse of something that Jesus
would probably do with a voice like
Rachel Winslow's. Jasper Chase sat
with his eyes on the singer, and his
greatest longing as an ambitious author
was swallowed up in the thought of
what Rachel Winslow's love might
some time mean to him. And over in
the shadow outside stood the last person
any one might have expected to see at
a gospel tent service, Rollin Pago, who,
jostled on every side by rough men and
women, who stared at the swell in the
fine ctethes, seemed careless of his sur?
roundings and at the same time evi?
dently swayed by the power that Rachel
possessed. He had just come over from
the club. Neither Rachel nor Virginia
saw him that night *
The song was over. Henry Maxwell
rose again. This time ho felt calm.
What would Jesus do? He spoke as he
thought once he never could. Who were
these people? They were immortal*
souls. What was Christianity ? A call?
ing of sinners, not the righteous, to re?
pentance. How would Jesus ?peak?
What would ho say 1 Ho could not tell
all that his message would inclr.de, but
he fall sure of a part of it, and in that
certainty he spoke on. Never before
had he felt 1 'compassion for the multi
tuda" 'What had tho multitude been
to him during his ten years in the First
church but a vague, dangerous, dirty,
troublesome factor in society, outside
of the church and his reach; an element
that caused him occasionally an un?
pleasant feeling of conscience; a factor
in Raymond that was talked about at
associations as the "masses" in papers
written by the brethren in attempts to
show why the "masses" were not being
reached. But tonight as he faced the
"masses" he asked himself whether,
after all, this was not just about such
a multitude as Jesus faced oftenest, and
he felt the genuine emotion of love for
a crowd which is one of the best indi?
cations a preacher ever has that he is
living close to the heart of the world's
eternal life. It is easy to love an indi?
vidual sinner, especially if he is person?
ally picturesque or interesting. To love
a multitude of sinners is distinctly a
Christlike quality.
When the meeting closed, there was
no special interest shown. Tho people
rapidly melted away from tho tent, and
the saloons, which had been experienc?
ing a dnll season whilo the meetings
progressed, again drovo a thriving
trade. Tho Rectangle, ns if to make up
for lost time, started in with vigor on
its usnal night life of debauch. Henry
Maxwell und hii little party, including
Virginia. Rachel and Jasper Chase,
walked down past tho row of saloons
and dens unt il they reached the corner
where the cars passed.
"This is a terrible spot." said Henry
Maxwell as they stood waiting for their
car. "I never realized that Raymond
had such a festering sore. It does not
seem possible that this is a city full of
Christian disciples."
Ho paused and then continued
"Do you think any one can ever re?
move this great enrso of tbe saloon?
Why don't we all act together against
tho traflie? What would Jesus do?
Would ho keep silent ? Would he vote
to license these cur.s:>s of crime and
deoth?"
Henry Maxwell was talking to him?
self more than to the other* llo re*
metnbemd that he had always voted for
license, and so had nearly all of his
Church niefnbera What would Jesus
dol Conld be answer that question 1
Would Jet ti preach and act against tho
saloon if he lived today 1 How would
ho preach and net! Suppose it was not
popular to preach against license. Sup?
pose tie Christian people thought it
was all that could be done?to license
the r\ il, hu 1 m > g< t revenue from a nec?
essarysin Ov suppose tbe church mem?
bers owned proporty whore thosaloous
stood What then? He knew that these
were tho facts in Raymond. What
would Jeans do?
He went np Into his study the next
morning with thntquostion only partly
answered !!? thought of it all day. Ho
was still thinking of it and reaching
certain real conclusions when Tho
Evening News came. His wifo brought
it up and sat down nfow minutes while
he read it to In r.
The Evening News was at present
tho most sensational paper in Raymond
That is tit say. it was being edited in
such a remarkable fashion that its sub*
Bcritiers had nevi r be. n so excited over
a newspaper In Tore, first they had no
ticed the ab? nco of the prizefight, and
gradually it \>- 'an to dawn upon them
that The New? ? l<>re,vr printed ac?
counts of crime with detailed doscrip'
tions or scandals in private life. Then
they noticed that the advertisements of
liquor and tobacco were being dropped,
together with certain other advertise?
ments of a questionable character The
discontinuance of the Sunday paper
caused the greatest comment of all. and
now tho character of tho editorials was
creating tho greatest excitement. A
quotation from trio Monday paper
this week will show* what Edward Nor?
man was doing to keep his promise.
Tho editorial was headed:
"THE MORAL BIDE OF POLITICAL QUES?
TION'S.
'Tho editor of Tho News has always
advocated tho principles of the great
political party at present in power and
hau therefore discussed all political
questions from a standpoint of expedi?
ency or of belief in tho party as opposed
to other organizations. Hereafter, to
bo perfectly honest with all our read?
er?, tho editor will present and discuss
po ilical questions from tho standpoint
of right and wrong. In other words,
tho first question will not be, 'Is it in
tho interest of our party V or 'Is it ac?
cording to the principle! laid down by
the party V but the question iirst asked
will be. *Is this measure in accordance
with the spirit and teachings of Jesus
as tho author of tho greatest standard
of life known to men V That is, to bo
perfectly plain, tho moral side of every
political question will be considered, its
most important side, and the ground
will be distinctly taken that nations as
well as individuals aro under the same
law to do all things to the glory of God
as the first rule of action.
"The same principle will bo observed
in this office toward candidates for
places of responsibility and trust in the
republic. Regardless of party politics,
tho editor of The News will do all in
his power to bring tho best men into
power and will not knowingly help to
su pport for oflice ,any candidate who is
unworthy, however much he may bo
indorsed by the party. The first ques?
tions asked about the man, as about the
measure, will be: 'Is ho tho right man
for the place ? Ia bo a good man with
ability?' "
There had been more of this, but we
have quoted enough to show the char
acber of the editorials. Hundreds of
men in Raymond had read it and rub
be i their eyes in amazement. A good
many of them had promptly written to
The News, telling the editor to stop
their paper. The paper still came out,
however, and was eagerly read all over
tho city. At tho end of tho week Ed
w*.rd Norman knew very well that he
had actually lost already B largo nurs
be:r of valuable f-nbscribcrs. Ho faced
tho conditions calmly, although Clark,
tho managing editor, grimly anticipated
ultimate bankruptcy, especially since
Monday's editorial.
Tonight as Henry Maxwell read to
hia wife he could see in almost every
co lumn evidences of Norman's conscien?
tious obedienco to his promise. There
was an absence of slangy, sensational
scuro heads. Tho reading matter under
the headlines was in perfect keeping
with them. He noticed in two columns
that the reporters' names appeared,
signed at the bottom, and there was a
diutinct advance in the dignity and
style of their contributions.
"So Norman is beginning to get his
reporters to sign their work. Ho has
talked with nie about that. It is a good
thing. It fixes responsibility for items
where it belongs nnd raises the standard
of work done, a good thing all arcund
for public and writers."
Henry Maxwell suddenly paused. His
wife looked up from some work she
was doing, ne was reading eomething
with.th" ut;uost intent.
