and poverty, between culture,

Night after night the bishop and Dr.
Bruce, with their helpers, went out and
helped to save men and women an i
children from the torture of physical
privation Vast quantitiea of food and
slothing and largo sums of money were
eVsttttd by the churches, the charitable
societies, the civic authorities and the
benevolent associations, but the personal

bit owd case it was the only safety
valve he had for the tremendous press?
ure put upon him
This particular morning ths bishop
was reading extracts from a morning
paper for tfie benefit of the others. Sud?
denly he paused, find his face instantly
grew stern and sad. The rest looked
up. and a hush fell over the table.
"Shot and killed while taking a lump
of coal from a car. His family was
freezing, and he had had no work for
six months. His six children ai d a wife
all packed into a cabin with three
rooms on the west side One child wrap?
ped in rags in a closet"
These were headlines that the bishop
read slowly. He then went on and read
the detailed account of the shooting and
the visit of the reporter to the tenement
where the family lived.
He finished, and there was silence
around the table. The humor of the
hour was swept out of'existence by this
bit of human tragedy. The great city
roared abont the settlement. The awful
current of human life was flowing in a
great stream past the settlement house,
and those who had work were hurrying
to it in a vast throng, but thousands
wer* going down in the midst of that
current, clutching at last hopes, dying,
literally in a land of plenty, because
the boon of physical toil wan denied
them.
There were various comments on the
part of the residents. One of 1 he new?
comers, a young man preparing for the
ministry, said: "Why didn't the man
apply to one of the charity organiza?
tions for help or to the city? It certain?
ly is not true that, even at its worst,
this city full of Christian peop..e would
knowingly allow any one to go without
food or fuel. "
"No; I don't believe that it would,'
replied Dr. Bruce. "But we don't know
the history of that man's case. He may
have asked for help so often bei ore that
finally, in a moment of desperation, he
determined to help himself. I have
known such cases this winter.' '
"That is not the terrible fact in this
case," said the bishop. "The awful
thing about it is the fact that the man
had not had any work for six months "
"Why don't such people go out into
the country?" asked the divir. ity stu?
dent
Some one at the table who had made
a special study of the opportur ities for
work in the country answered the ques?
tion. According to the investigator, the
places that were possible for work in
the country were exceedingly few for
steady employment, and in almost ev?
ery case they were offered only to men
without families. Suppose a innn's wife
and children were ill. How could he
move or get into the country? How
could he pay even the meager turn nec?
essary to move his few goods f There
were a thousand reasons probably why
this particular man did not go else?
where.
"Meanwtflle there are the wife and
children," said Mrs. Bruco. "How aw?
ful! Where is the place, did you say?'
The bishop took up the paper.
"Why. it's only three blocks from
here. This is the Penrose district. I be?
lieve Penrose himself owns half of the
houses in that block. They are among
the worst houses in this part of the
city, and Penrose is a church member."
*1 Yes; he belongs to the Nazareth Av?
enue church." replied Dr. Bruce in a
low voice.
The bishop rose from the table the
veTy figure of divine wrath. He had
opened his lips to say what seldom
came from him in the way of denuncia?
tion when the bell rang and one of the
residents went to the door.
"Tell Dr. Bruce and the bishop 1
want to see them. Penrose is the name
?Clarence Penrose. Dr. Bruce knows
me."
The family at the breakfast table
heard every word The bishop exchanged
a significant look with Dr. Bruce, and
the two men instantly left the table
and went out into the hall
"Come in here. Penrose." said Dr
Bruce, snd ho und the bishop ushered
the visitor into the reception room
They closed the door at A were alone.
Clarence Penrose was one of the most
elegant looking men in Chicago He
came from an aristocratic family of
great wealth and social distinction. He
was exceedingly wealthy and had Urge
property holding* in different parts of
the city He had been a member of Dr
Bruce's church all his life.

j former postal with a look of agitation

was almost a < hild's terror in hi* voice.
"I came to say that I have had an ex
perienceVso unusual that nothing but
pJifca^BjgJ^isn^aMli.l - ' v
remember i waa one of those who took
the pledge to do as Jesus would do. 1
thought at the time, poor fool that I
waa. that I had all along been doing the
Christian t hing. I gave liberally out of
my abundance to the church and char?
ity. I never gave myself to cost me any
suffering, i have been living in a per?
fect hell of contradictions ever since 1
took the pledge My little girl, Diana,
you remember, also took the pledge
with me She has been asking me a
great many questions lately about the
poor people and where they lived. I was
obliged to answer her. Two of her ques?
tions last night touched my soie. Did 1
own any houses where those people
lived ? Were they nice and warm like
ours? You know how a child will ask
questions like these. I went to bed tor?
mented with what I now know to be
the divine arrows of conscience. I could
not sleep. I seemed to see the judgment
day I was placed before the Judge. I
was asked to give account of my deeds
done in the body. How many sinful
souls had I visited in prison ? What had
I done with my stewardship? How
about those tenements where people
froze in winter and stifled in sdiumer?
Did I give any thought to them, except
to receivo the rentals from them?
Where did my suffering come in?
Would Jesus have done as I had done
and was doing? Had I broken my
pledge ? How had 1 used the money and
the culture and the social influence I
possessed? Had I used them to bless
humanity, to relieve the suffering, to
bring joy to the distressed and hope to
the desponding? I had received much.
How much had I given ?
"All this came to me in a waking
vision as distinctly as I see you two
men and myself now. I was unable to
see the end of the vision. I had a con?
fused picture in my mind of the suffer?
ing Christ pointing a condemning finger
at me. and the rest was shut out by
mist and darkness. I have not had sleep
for 24 hours. The first thing I saw this
morning was the account of the shoot?
ing at the coaly arris. I read the account
with a feeling of horror I have not been
able to shake off. 1 am a guilty creature
before God."
Penrose paused suddenly. The two
men looked at him solemnly What
power of the Holy Spirit moved the
soul of this hitherto self satisfied, ele?
gant, cultured man who belonged to
the social life that was accustomed to
go its way, placidly unmindful of the
great sorrows of a great city and prac?
tically ignorant cf what it means to
suffer for Jesus' sake ?
Into thatyxoom came a breath auch as
before awept over Henry Maxwell's
church and through Nazareth Avenue,
and the bishop laid his hand on the
shoulder of Penrose and said: "My
brother, God has been very near to yon.
Liet us thank him. "
"Yea. yee," sobbed Penrose. He sat
down on a chair and covered his face.
The bishop prayed. Then Penrose quiet?
ly aaid, "Will yen go with me to that
house?"
For answer both Dr. Bruce and the
bishop put on their overcoats and went
out with aim to the home of the dead
man's family. This was the beginning
of a new and strange life for Clarence
Penrose, From the moment he stepped
into that wretched hovel of a home and
faced for the first time in his life a de?
spair and suffering such as he had read
of. but did not know by personal con?
tact, he dated a new life. It would be
another long story to tell how. in obedi?
ence to his pledge, he began to do with
his tenement property as he knew Jesus
would do What would Jesus do with
tenement property if he owned it in
Chicago or any other great city of the
world? Any man who can imagine any
true answer to this question can easily
tell what Clarence Penrose began to do.
Now. before that winter reached its
bitter climax many things occurred in
the city that concerned the lives of all
the characters in this history of the dis?
ciples who promised to walk in his steps.
It chanced, by one of those remark?
able coincidences that seem to occur
preternaturally. that one afternoon, just
as Felicia came out of the settlement
with a basket which she was going to
leave as a sample with a baker in the
Penrose district. Stephen Clyde opened
the door of the carpenter shop in the
basement and came out of the lower
door in time to meet Felicia as she
reached the sidewalk.
"Let me carry your basket, please."
he said.
"Why do you say 'please?* " asked
Felicia, handing over the basket.
"1 would like to fay something else, "
replied Stephen, glancing at her shyly
and yet with a boldness that frightened
him. for ho had been loving Felicia
more every day since be tirst saw her,
and especially since she stepped into tho
shop that day with the bishop, and for
weeks now they bad been in many ways
thrown into each other's company
"What eist??" asked Felicia innocent?
ly, falling Into the trap.
"Why." said Stephen, turning his
fair, noble face full toward her and
eying her with the look of one who
WOUld have the best of all things in the
universe. "I would like to say. 'Let me
cany your basket, dear Felicia.' "
Felicia never looked so beautiful in
her life She walked on a little way
without even turning her face toward
him It was no set vet with her own
heart that she had given it to Stephen
some time ago rinilly she tuned and
said shyly, while her face grew rosy
and her eyes tender. "Why don't you
say it. thenV
"May It" cried Stephen, and he was
so careless for u minute of the way he
held the basket that Felicia exclaimed
'?Yes I Dnt, oh. don't drop my goodies I"
"Why, I wouldn't drop anything so
precious for all the world 'dear Fe
licia. " KU id Stephen, who now walked
on air for several hieb?., and what else
was said during that walk is private
corres|Hiudence that we have no right
to read, only it is matter of history that
day that the basket never reached its
destination and that over in the other
direction late in the afternoon the
bishop, walking along quietly in a
rather secluded sjM>t near the outlying
part of the settlement district, heard a
^^m^^^^>^^^a^^^Bii^^clMnie|^j^
licia. when did you begin to love me?"
"I fell in love with a little pine shav?
ing just above your ear that day I saw
you in the shop." said the other voice,
with a laugh so clear, so pure, so sweet,
that it did one good to hear it.
The next moment the bishop turned
the corner and came upon them.
'?Where are you going with that
basket?" he tried to say sternly.
"We're taking it to?where are we
taking it to, Felicia?"
"Dear bishop, we are taking it home
to begin"?
"To begin housekeeping with," fin?
ished Stephen, coming to the rescue.
"Are you?" said the bishop "I hope
you will invite me in to share. I knew
what'Felicia's cooking is."
"Bishop, dear bishop," said Felicia,
and she did not pretend to hide her
happiness, "indeed you shall always be
the most honored guest. Are you glad ?''
"Yes, I am," replied the bishop, in?
terpreting Felicia's words as she wished.
Then he paused a moment and said
gently, "God bless you both!" and went
bis way. with a tear in his eye and a
prayer in his heart, and left them to
their joy.
Yes; shall not the same divine power
of love that belongs to earth be lived
and sung by the disciples of the man of
sorrows and the burden bearer of sins ?
Yea, verily! And this man and woman
shall walk hand in hand through this
great desert of human woe in this city,
strengthening each other, growing
more loving with the experience of the
world's sorrows, walking in his steps
even closer yet because of this love,
bringing added blessings to thousands
of wretched creatures because they are
to have a home of their own to share
with the homeless. "For this cause,"
said our Lord Jesus Christ, "shall a
man leave his father and mother and
rioave unto his wife," and Felicia and
Stephen, following the Master, love him
with deepei*. truer service and devotion
because of the earthly affection which
heaven itself sanctions with its solemn
blessing.
Now. it was a little after the love
story of the settlement became a part of
its glory that Henry Maxwell of Ray?
mond came to Chicago with Rachel
Winslow andTirginia Page and Rollin
and Alexander Powers and President
Marsh, and the occasion was a remark?
able gathering at the hall of the settle?
ment, arranged by the bishop and Dr
Bruce, who had finally persuaded Mr
Maxwell and his fellow disciples of
Raymond to come on to be present at
this meeting.
The bishop invited into the settle?
ment hall meeting for that night men
out of work, wretched creatures who
had lost faith in God and man. anar?
chists and infidels, freethinkers and no
thinkers. The representatives of all the
city's worst, most hopeless, most dan?
gerous, depraved elements faced Henry
Maxwell and the other disciples when
the meeting began, and still tbe Holy
Spirit moved over the great, heaving,
selfish, pleasure loving, sin stained city,
and it lay in God's hand, not knowing
all that awaited it. Every man and
woman at the meeting that night had
seen the settlement motto over {he door,
blazing thrcugh the transparency set
up by the divinity student. "What
Would Jesus Do?"
And Henry Maxwell, as for the first
time he stepped under the doorway,
was touched with a deeper emotion than
he had felt in a long time as he thought
of the first time that question had come
to him in the piteous appeal of the
shabby young man who had appeared
in the First church of Raymond at the
morning service.
Was his great desire for Christian fel?
lowship going to be granted? Would
the movement begun in Raymond actu?
ally spread over the country ? He had
come to Chicago with his friends partly
to see if the answer to that question
would be found in the heart of the great
city life. In a few minutes he would
face the people He had grown very
strong and calm since he first spoke
with trembling to that company of
workingmen in the railroad shops, but
now. as then, he breathed a deeper
prayer for help Then he went in. and
with the bishop and the rest of the dis?
ciples he experienced one of the great
and important events of the earthly
life. Somehow he felt as if this meeting
would indicate something of an answer
to his constant query. "What would
Jesus do?" and tonight as he looked
into the faces of men and women who
had for years been strangers and ene?
mies to the church his heart cried out.
"O my Master, teach thy church how
to follow thy aceps better I" Is that
prayer of Henry Maxwell's to be an?
swered? Will the church in the city re?
spond to the call to follow him? Will it
choose to walk in his steps of pain and
suffering? And still over all the city
broods the Spirit Grieve him not. O
city, for he was never more ready to
revolutionize this world than now!

' The Gentle Art of Winking-.
"When you have mastered the gentle
art of winking," said Lord Beacons
field, "you hold the key to success in
your hands."
Every one's personality is made up
of trivial failings and trivial talents.
Foster the good qualities In your
friends and subordinates and wink at
those failings so dear to their possess?
ors. Not to see everything is a rule
which will strengthen friendships and
help you to get the best results from
your fellow workers.
"He is no good," said the great Na?
poleon of one of his officers. "He is
continually looking into the* privates'
stew pot!"
"I want a man who can keep his eye
on the ultimate result and ignore little
failings, never mind how aggravating,"
said Nelson. And General Gordon once
remarked that the man who lost ills
temper because a private's boot lace
was tied loosely on the day of battle
did more to lose the day than all the
enemy's guns.
^ "Xot if It Were My Boy."
Some years ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, delivered
an address at the opening of some re?
formatory institution for boys, during
which he remarked that if only one
boy was saved from ruin it would pay
for all the cost and care and labor of
establishing such an institution as that.
After the exercises had closed, in pri?
vate conversation, a gentleman rallied
Mr. Mann upon his statement and said
to him:
"Did you not color that a little when
you said that all that expense and la?
bor would be repaid if It only saved
cne boy?"
"Not if it were my boy," was the
solemn and convincing reply.
Bismarck's Appetite.
Among other amusing reminiscences
of the late Prince Bismarck appearing
In Herr John Booth's "Memoirs of the
Iron Chancellor" is one relating to the
tatter's gargantuan capacity for eating
and drinking. He told the author that
the largest number of oysters he ever
ate was 175. He first ordered 25; then,
as they were very good, 50 more, and,
consuming these, determined to eat
nothing else and ordered another hun?
dred, to the great amusement of those
present. Bismarck was then 2G and
had just returned from England.
It Looked Saaplclous.
"Isn't your neighbor Blinkinoff a
drinking man?"
"I wouldn't like to give an expert
opinion on the subject. I'll admit,
however, tllat I saw him the other
night trying to drive a spigot Into an
ash barrel, thinking that It was elder."

If Man Were a Flea.
Snyder, the calculating barber, had
not opened his lips for fully four min?
utes, and It wus plain to be seeu that
he had something on his mind. Finally
he swallowed twice, breathed hard for
a moment and gave vent to his feelings
in this manner:
"I've been thinking what 1 could do
if I were only a flea. I read in a seien*
title paper the other day that If a man
were built on the same lines as a flea
he could jump from Philadelphia to
Plttsburg in one leap. I mean, of
course, if he had all the power of a
flea increased in proportion to his size.
Think how quickly he could circum?
navigate the globe. It might be possi?
ble to get around the world in an hour.
The distance from Philadelphia to
Pittsburg is 354 miles, and the equato*
rial circumference of the earth is 24,
008 miles.
"A simple calculation. In mental arith?
metic will show you that this would be
a fraction over 7<> leaps. It surely
wouldn't take a minute for each jump,
judged from the liveliness of the flea.
