After awhile Rollin waa call eil out.
$m\l Rachel and Virginia began to talk

?fee proposed to me?or he wonld if'?
Rachel stopped and sat with her
hands clasped on her lap. and there
were tears in her eye*.
"Virginia, I thought a little while
ago that I loved him. as he said he
lafed mc. but when he spoke my heart
Mt repelled, and I said what I ought
to have Raid I told him no I have not

"Why? aaked Rachel, a little star
"aVcanse I have never really liked

Rachel looked at Virginia thought

"I have never given my heart to him,

when she looked np at Virginia
in there were tears on her face. Vir?

When Rachel had left the house. Vir
giLia sat in the hall thinking over the
confidence her friend had just shown
Isar. There was something still to be
told. Virginia felt an re from Radiere
manner, but ehe did not feel hurt that
Rachel had kept back something She
was aimply conscious of more ou Ru
ckele mind than ?he hud revealed
Very eoon Rollin came back, and he
and Virginia, arm in arm! as they had
lately been in the hnhit of doing, walked
np and down the long hall
It was easy for their talk to settle
11 y upon Rachel because of the place
woe to occupy in the plans which
were being made for the purchase of
tho property at the Rectangle
"Did yon ever know u girl of snch
really gifted power? in vocal tnnsiv* who
waa willing to give her whole life to

"It in certainly a very good example

"But don't yon think it is a very

Rollin was silent Then he went on
with more emotion. "I am still in love
with her. Virginia, but 1 do not think
she could ever love me " He stopped
and looked his sister in the face with a
tad smile
"I don't know about that." said Vir?
ginia to herself. She was noting Rol*
lin's handsome face, its marks of dissi?
pation nearly all gone now. the firm
lips showing manhood and courage, the
clear eyes looking into hers frankly, the
form strong and graceful. Rollin was
a man now Why should not Rachel
come to love him in time? Surely the
two were well fitted for each other,
especially now that their purpose in
life was moved by the same Christian
source.
She said something of all this to Rol?
lin. but he did not find much comfort
When they closed the interview, Vir
I ginia carried away the impression that
Rollin meant to go his way with his
chosen work, trying to reach the fash- j
ionable men at the clubs and, while not
avoiding Rachel seeking no occasion
for meeting her He was distrustful of
his power to control his feelings, and
Virginia could see that he dreaded even
the thought that his love was still the
same
The next day she went down to The
News office to see Edward Norman and
arrange the details of her part in the
establishment of the paper on its new
foundation. Henry Maxwell was pres't i
ent ut this conference, and the three
agreed that, whatever Jesus would do
in detail as editor of a daily paper, he 1
would be guided by the same general
principles that directed his conduct as
the Saviour of the #orld.
"I have tried to put down here in
concrete form some of the things which
it has seem ad to mo Jesus would do,"
said Edward Norman. He read from a
paper lying on his desk, and Henry
Maxwell was reminded again of his
effort to put into written form his own
conception of Jesus' probable action
I and also of Milton Wright's attempt in
I his business
"I have Headed this, 'What Would
?flrsus Do as Edward Norman. Editor of
a Daily Newspaper In Raymond.'
**1. He would never allow a sentence
or a picture in his paper that could be
called bad or coarse or impure in any
way
??2. He would probably conduct the
political part of the paper from the
standpoint of nonpartisan patriotism,
always looking upon nil political ques?
tions in the light of their relations to
the welfare of the people, always on the
basis of 'What is right?' never from j
the basis of 'What *s for the best inter?
ests of this or that patty? In other
words, he wonld treat evory political
subject from the standpoint of the ad?
vancement of the kingdom of God on
Um earth."
Edward Norman looked up from the
reading for a moment. "Yon under?
stand that is my interpretation of Jesus'
probable action on political matters on
other newspaper men who may have a
different conception of Jesus' probable
action from mine. I am simply trying i
to answer honestly. 'What would Jesus ,
do as ?dward Norman T and the answer
I find hi what I have put down."
"3. The end and aim of a daily pa
p*?r conducted by Jesus would bo to do
the will of God. That is. his main pur?
pose in carrying on a newspaper would
not be to make money or gain political
influence, but his first and ruling pur?
pose should be so to conduct his paper
that it would be evident to all his sub?
scribers that ho was trying to seek first
the kingdom of God by means of his
paper This purpose would be as dis?
tinct and unquestioned as the purpose
of a minister or a missionary or any
other unselfish martyr in Christiun
work anywhere.
*'4. All questionable advertisements
would be impossible.
"5. The relation of Jesus to the em?
ployees on the paper wonld bo of the
most loving character."
"So fur as I have gon??. " said Nor?
man, again looking up. "l am of the
opinion that Jesus would employ prac?
tically some form of co-operation that
would represent the idea of mutual In?
terest in a business where all wero to i
move together for the same great end. 1
am working out such a plai . and I am
confident it will 1m- successful At any
rat??, once introduce the element of per
I :ial kOYS into ? business like this, take
. it the selfish principle of doing it for
! the sake of psVSOUjal profits to a man or
company, and I do not see any way ex?
cept the most loving personal interest
between editor reporters. pTOSSmOfl und
all who contributed anything to the
life of the paper, and that interest
would bs expressed not only in the p< r
soflu? I' v?- and sympathy, but In usher
iloc w ith lbs profits of the business
"t> As editor of a daily paper today
Jesus would kiv*? large space to the
work ot tbeChristian world lie would
devote a pa r*- possibly to the facts of
reform, ? I sociological problems, of In
stitutioiial church work and similar
movements
" I 11" would du : II in his power in
his paper to flight the saloon s i an < n< my
. !' ;!)?? human rn< ? mid an unnecessary
pert nf out pre?en1 civiliaation He
would do this regardless of pub1 hi n
tinu nt in lbs mat:.f and, of ce.n sj, Kl \
ways regardless of its effect on his sub?
scription list. "
Again Edward Norman looked up.
"I state my honest conviction on this
point. Of course I do not pass judgment
on tho Christian men who are editing
other kinds of papers today, but as I
interpret Jesus I believe he would use
the influence of his paper to remove the
saloon entirely from the political and
social life of the nation.
'?8. Jesus would not issue a# Sunday
edition.
440. He would print the news of the
world that people ought to know.
Among the things that they do not need
to know and which would not be pub?
lished would be brutal prizefights, long
accounts of crimes, scandals in private
families or any other human events
which in any way would conflict with
the first point mentioned in this out?
line.
"10. If Jesus had the amount of
money to use on a paper which we have,
he wonld probably secure the best and
strongest Christian men and women
to ooperate with him in the matter of
contributors. That will be my pur?
pose, us I shall be able to show you in
a few daya
"11. Whatever the details of the pa?
per might demand as the paper de?
veloped along its definite plan, the main
principle that guided it would always
be the establishment of the kingdom of
God in the world This large general
principle wonld necessarily shape all
the details."
Edward Norman finished reading his
plan. He waa very thoughtful.
"I have merely sketched a very faint
outline. I have a hundred ideas for
making the paper powerful that I have
not yet thought out fully. This is sim?
ply suggestive. I have talked it over
with other newspaper men. Some of
them say I will have a weak, namby
paniby Sunday school sheet. If I get
out something as good as a Sunday
school, it will be pretty good. Why do
men when they want to characterize
something as particularly feeble alwaya
use a Sunday school as a comparison
when they ought to know that the Sun?
day school is one of tho strongest, most
powerful influences in our civilization
in this country today. But the paper
will not necessarily be weak because
it is good. Good things aro more pow?
erful than bad. The question with me
is largely one of support from the Chris?
tian people of Raymond. There are over
20,000 church members here in tho
city. If half of them will stand by The
News, its life is assured. What do you
think, Maxwell, is the probability of
such support?"
"I don't know enough about it to
give an intelligent answer. I believe in
the paper with all my heart. If it lives
a year, as Miss Virginia said, there is
no telling what it can do. The great
thing will be to issue such a paper, as
near as we can judge, as Jesus probably
would and put into it all the elements
of Christian brains, strength, intelli?
gence and sense and command respect
by the absence of bigotry, of fanati?
cism, narrowness and anything else that
is contrary to the spirit of Jesus. Such
a paper will call for the best that hu?
man thought and action are capable of
giving. The greatest minds in the world
would have their powers taxed to the
utmost to is.suo a Christian daily. "
"Yes," Edward Norman spoke hum?
bly. "I shall make great mistakes, no
doubt. I need a great deal of wisdom
But I want to do as Jesus would
'What would he do?' I have asked it
daily and shall continue to do so and
abide by results."
"I think we are l>oginning to under?
stand." said Virginia, "the meaning of
that command. 'Grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ.' I am sure 1 do not know
all that he would do in detail uutil 1
know him better "
"That is very true." said Henry
Maxwell. "I am beginning to under?
stand that I cannot interpret the prob?
able action of Jesus until I know better
what his spirit is. To my mind the
greatest question in all of human life is
summed up when we ask, 'What would
Jesus dot' if as wo ask it we also try
to answer it from a growing knowledge
of Jesus himself. We must know Jesus
before we can imitate him."
When the arrangements had been
made between Virginia and Edward
Norman, he found himself in possession
of the sum of $500,000, exclusively his
to use for the establishment of a Chris?
tian daily paper When Virginia and
Henry Maxwell had gone. Norman
closed his door and. alone with the
Divine presence, asked like a child for
help from his all powerful Father. All
through his prayer as he kneeled before
his desk ran the promise, "If any man
lack wisdom, let him ask of God. who
giveth to all men liberally and up
braideth not. and it shall be given
him." Surely his prayer would be an?
swered and tho kingdom be advanced
through this instrument of God's pow?
er, this mighty press which had become
so largely degraded to the base uses of
man's avarice and ambition.
Two months went by They \v< re lull

mond and especially in the First church
hi spite of the approaching heat of the
summer season, the after meeting of
the disciples who had made the pledge
to do as .lesus wonld do continued with
enthusiasm and power Gray had fin?
ished hi- work at the Rectangle, and -mi
outward observer going through the
place could not have seen any difference
in the old conditions, although there was
an actual change in hundreds of lives,
hut tie- saloons, dens, hovels, gambling
houses, still ran. overflowing their vile
ness into the lives of* fresh victims to
take the place of those rescued by the
evangelist, and the devil recruited his
ranks very flist
Henry Maxwell did not go abroad.
Ir tend of that he took tie- money he
had bet n saving for the trip and quiet
lv nrrau *cd a summer vacation for a
whole family living down in the Ree
tangle who had nevt* gone ontsidonf
the foul district of the tenement The
pastor of tho First church will never
forget tfye week ho spent with this fam?
ily making th ? arrangements. Be w? nt
down Into the Rectangle one hot day
I when something of tho terrible heat of
I the tenements was beginning to bo felt
' and helped the family to the station
and then went with them to a beantiful
spot on the eoust. where, in the homo
of a Christian woman, these bewildered
. city tenants breathed for the first time
in years the cool salt air and felt blow
about them the pine scented fragranrj
of a new lease of life.
There was a sickly baby with tho
mother?three other children, one a
cripple. The father, who had been out
of work until had been, as he after?
ward confessed to Maxwell, several
times on the verge of suicide, sat with
the baby in his arms during the jour?
ney, and when Maxwell started back to
Raymond after seeing the family set?
tled the man held his hand at parting
and choked with his utterance and
finally broke down, to Maxwell's great
confusion. The mother, a wearied,
wornout woman, who had lost three
children the year before from a fever
scourge in the Rectangle, sat by the
car window all the way and drank in
the delights of sea and sky and field. It
was all a miracle to her, and Henry
Maxwell, coming back into Raymond
at the end of that week, feeling the
scorching, sickening heat all the more
because of his little taste of the ocean
breezes, thanked God for the joy he had
witnessed and entered upon his disci
pleship with a humble heart, knowing
for almost tho first time in his life this
special kind of sacrifice, for never be?
fore had he denied himself his regular
summer trip away from the heat of
Raymond, whether he felt in any great
need of rest or not.
"It is a fact," he said in reply to sev?
eral inquiries on the part of his church.
"I do not feel in need of a vacation this
year. I am very well and prefer to stay
here," It wTas with a feeling of relief
that he succeeded in concealing from
every one but his wife what he had
done with this other family. He felt
the need of doing anything of that sort
without display or approval from others.
So the summer came on, and Henry
: Maxwell grew into larger knowledge of
his Lord. The First church sjas still
swayed by the power of the Spirit.
Maxwell marveled at the \eontinuance
of his stay. He knew very well that
from the beginning nothing but the
Spirit's presence had kept the church1
from being torn asunder by this re?
markable testing it had received of its
discipleship. Even now there were
many of the members among those who
had not taken the pledge who regarded
the whole movement as Mrs. Winslow
did, in the nature of a fanatical inter?
pretation of Christian duty, xnd looked
for a return of the old normal condi
HOB. Meanwhile the whole body of dis?
ciples was under the influence of the
Spirit, and Henry Maxwell went his
way that summer doing his parish work
in great joy, keeping up his meetings
with the railroad men, as he had prom?
ised Alexander Powers, and daily grow?
ing into a better knowledge of tho
Master.
Early one evening in August, after a
day of refreshing coolness, following a
long perio(r"of heat, Jasper Chase walk?
ed to the window of his room in the
apartment house on tho avenue and
looked out,
On his desk lay a pile of manuscript.
Since that evening when he had spoken
to Rachel Winslow he had not met her.
His singularly sensitive nature, sensi?
tive to the point of irritability when he
was thwarted, seemed to thrust him
into an isolation that was intensified
by his habits as an author.
All through the heat of the summer
he had been writing. His book was
j nearly done now. He had thrown him
i self into its co istruction with a feverish
strength that threatened at any moment
to desert him and leave him helpless.
He had not forgotten his pledge with
the other church members at the First
church. It had forced itself upon his
notice all through his writing and ever
since Rachel had said DO to him. He
had asked a thousand times, "Would
Jesus do thisV" "Would he write this
story ?" It was a society novel, written
in a style that had proved popular. It
had no purpose except to amuse. Its
moral teaching was not bad, but nei?
ther was it Christian in any positive
way Jasper Chase knew that such a
story would sell. He w as conscious of
powers in his way that the social world
petted and admired. What would Jesus
do? The question obtruded on him at
the most inopportune times. Ho be?
came Irascible over it The standard of
Jesus as an author was too ideal. Of
course Jesus would use his powers to
produce something useful or helpful or
with a purpose What was he. Jasper
Chase, writing this novel for? Why.
what nearly every writer wrote for?
namely, money and fame as a writer.
There was no secret with him that he
was writing this now story with that
object. He was not poor and so had no
temptation to write for money, but ho
was urged on by his desire for fame as
much as anything. He must write this
kind of matter. But what would Jesus
do? The question plagued him even
more than Rachel's refusal. Was ho
going to break his promise?
As he stood at the window Rollin,
Page came out of the clubhouse just op?
posite. Jasper noted his handsome face
and noble figure as he started dow n the
Street. He went back to his desk and
turned over some papers there. Then
ho returned to the w indow Rollin was
walking down past the block, and Ra?
chel Winslow w as walking beside him.
Rollin must have overtaken her as she
was coming from Virginia's that after*
inn >n.
Jasper watched the two figures until
they disappeared in the crowd on the
walk Thon ho turn ?d to his desk and
began to w rite. Winhe had finished
the last page of the last chapter of his
book, it was nearly dark. What would
Jesus do? He had finally answered the
question by denying his Lord. It grew
dark< r in Jasper's room He had delib?
erately chosen his course, nrged on by
his disappointuu lit and loss
"I'?,'! ile im said unto him. No man,

Destroying our Forest.
We have published much in these
oolomni about the destruction of
our Southern f'uroste, and have
urged people who own timber lands
to husband them as one of the
sources of future wealth Scores of
other papers in the South have done
the same A7hat effect this may
have had we do not know, but
probably little, if any, if we may
judge from the rapidity with which
our timber lands are passing into the
possession of lumbermen There
are few of us who have any idea of
the extent of the havoc done upon
our pine forests, but the following
which we find iu the Charleston
News and Courier will give some
idea:
M 'These are sad days for the for
est?, in this part of the country, says
the lumber editor of the Dixie Maga
Eine "It is a glorious harvest for
the lumbermen.' and is 'filling their
pocketbooke,' but 'the sacrifice is
great' How great it is be explains:
' 'A reasonable estimate of the pine
cut from Southern forest during the
first ten months of the present year
would reach a total of seven hundred
million feet That is a deal two much
to express in figures. Let us put^it
another way, for no one can realize
the immensity of a million feet
to say nothing of seven hundred
million. The vision of the mind's
eye is limited. Let me say, than, that
the Southern pine out for the first ten
months of 1899 amount to eighty
thousand carloads If placed one
after the other the cars would make a
train reaching from Savannah to Cin
cinnati?seven hundred miles Or, to
put it in another way if this lumber
was cut into inch boards it would lay
a board walk ten feet wide around
the world?a matter of seventeen
thousand miles 1
" 'This represents the destruction
effected in only ten months, and the
rate of slaughter is "increasing every
day " The end is not dislsnt, of
course ' 99
There is scarcely a day that an
nouncement is not made of the
?sale (if sale it can be called) of some
immense track of timber land, at a
merely nominal price A few days
ago we noted the sale in Northern
Florida, of 600,000 acres, at the
beggarly price of one dollar an acre
This was land owned by a railroad
company which waa doubtless in?
duced to make the sale at the figures
by the prospect of the money it
would make in hauliog the cut lumber
to market.
If that land was adapted to culti
vation, divided up into tracts for
farms, and the timber peserved. it
would be some day in the near
future worth millions of dollars
This is but an illustration of the
many that are constantly occuring,
showing how our forest are passing
into our bands, and bow our peo
pie are parting with for a trifle,
whicn it held would become immen?
sely valuable ?Wilmington Star
