When Henry Maxwell began l?j epeak souls crowded into the settlement that night, it is doubtful if he had ?wer before faced nach an audience in Mb life It ic qnite c<?rtain that the eity of Raymond did not contain such a variety of humanity Not even the ingle at Its worst could furnish so if men and women who had fallen hery oat of the reach of toe church all religious and even Christian in What did he talk abt at? He had al randy decided that point He told in ?the simplest language he could com ?aind some of the results of obedience eo the pledge as it had been taken in ffeayinond Every man and woman in that audience knew something about , JUmn* Christ They all had some idea of Isla character, end. however much they fcad grown hitter toward the forms of Christian eecJeeiaeticism or the social system, they preeerved some standard ef right and truth, and what little some wf them still retained was taken from/ the person of the peasant of Galilee. So they were Interested in what Max well said ''What would Jesus do?*' He haajan to apply the question to the social wrobletn in general after finishing the story of Raymond The audience was ewspectf nlly attentive It was more than that It was genuinely inter ?sted. As Mr Maxwell went on faces a l over the ?hall leaned forward in a way very sel? dom seen in church audiences or any? where else, except among workingmen ear the people of the street when once they are thoroughly aroused.

It was tiuffer hag from selfishuesa No one ever lived who. had succeeded in overcoming self? ishness like Jesu a If men followed him. regardless of results, the worfrl would at once begin to enjoy a new life Henry Maxwell never knew how ?stich it meant to hold the respectful, ition of that hall full of diseased sinful humanity The bishop and | Dr Bruce, sitting there, looking on. seeing many faces that represented scorn ef creeds, hatred of the social order, desperate narrowness and selfishness, marveled that even so socn, under tho ? influence of the settlement life, tue softening process had tn run to lessen the bhtemese of hearts, many of which had grown bitter from neglect and in differcti. And still, in spite of the outward ffjaow of respect of tho speaker, no on*\ aiot even the bishop, had any true con ejBW/tJjsj of the pent np feeling in that room that night Among the men who had beard of the meeting and had re ?ponded to the in*, itatioti were >0 or ;! ) ?art of work, who had strolled past the ?aitlernent that afternoon, read tho no of the meeting and had come in of curiosity and to escape the chill aaat wind It f\ bitter night, nud the saWams wer. f; 11. hat in that whole district ..f over 30.000 sorls. with the excepti<m of the saloons, there \\:.-? not a dorar open to the people exct pt the clean, pore, Christian door of the aettle ment Where would a man without a home or without w.,rk or without friends naturally go unless to a taJooht It had l*?en the cneto? at the at tt!" ment for n fr?-o and open dUcu-siou to follow an open meeting of this kind, and Wie n Hern Maxwell hni-hed and oat down the hi hop who 1 r sided t 1 night, rose and made the annonceraenl that any man in the hall Waa at Ubarty to ask qu? sj 1 to tJM ah 0*1 hit Ii i hags or declare bis convictions, always with the understanding that whoever took part was Ic rvt the vhnplf rolea that guvtisJed parliamentary hid ies and obey the tin ? minut ? rui whi? h ly common consent, would be enforced on account of tho ambers present Instantly a numher of voices froui men wh?. had been at previous iae< 1 n: s of this kind exclaimed.

One class is just us had mi another there". Crlc?of '?TbaVttor "You're right!" "Of course! intermixed the speaker, and the minute In* sat down two inen who were on their feet for several sec? onds before the l"?rst speaker was through began to talk at once. The Iii On.p called them to order and indicated which was entitled to the floor. The man who remained standing began eagerly: "This is the first time I was ever in here, and maybo it'll bo the last. Fact is I'm about at the end of my string. I've tramped this city for work until I'm sick. I'm in plenty of company. Hay. I'd like to ask a qnestion of the minister if it's fair. May I?" "That's for Mr. Maxwell to aay." said the bishop. "By all means," replied Mr. Max? well quickly. "Of course I will not promise to answer it to tho gentleman's satisfaction." "This is my question." Tho man leaned forward and stretched out a long arm, with a certain dramatic force that grew naturally enough out of his con? dition as a human being. "I want to know what Jesus would do in my case? I haven't had a stroke of work for two months. I've got a wife and three chil? dren, and I love them as much as if 1 was worth n million dollars. I've been living off a little earnings I 3aved up during the World's fair jobs I got. I'm a carpenter by trade, and I've tried ev? ery way I know to get a job. You say we ought to take for our motto, 'What would Jesus do?' WThat would he do if he was out of work like me? I can't be somebody else and ask the question. 1 want to work. I'd give anything to grow tired of working ten hours a day the way I used to. Am I to blame be? cause I can't manufacture a job for my? self? I've got to live and my wife and my children. But how? What would Jesus do? You say that's the question we all ought to ask." . Henry Maxwell sat there staring at (the great sea cf faces all intent on his, and no answer to this man's question seemed, for the time being, to be possi? ble "OOodl " his heart prayed. "This is a question that brings up the entire social problem in all its perplexing en? tanglement of human wrongs and its present condition, contrary to every de? sire of God for a human being's, wel? fare. Is there any condition more awful than for a man in good health, able and eager to work, with no means of honest livelihood unless he does work, actually unable to get anything to do and driven to one of three things?begging for charity at the hands of friends or strangers or suicide or starvation? What would Jesus do? It was a fair question for the man to ask. It was the ouly question he could ask, supposing him-to be a disciple of Christ, but what a questiou for any man to be obliged to ask under such conditions t" All this and more did Tlenry Maxwell ponder. All tbeutheis were thinking in the same way. The biihop ; at there with a look so stem and sad that it was not hard to tell how the question moved him. Dr. Bruce had his head bowed. The human probhm had never seemed to him so tragic as since he had taken the pkwlgl and left his church to enter the settlement. What would Jesus do? It was a terrible question, and still the man stood there, tall and gaunt and al? most terrible, with his arm stretched out in an appeal which gTew every sec? ond in meaning. At lcngf.i Mr Maxwell spoke. "N there any nein in the room who is a Christian disciple who has bfOB in this condition and has tried to do as Jesus Would do? It so, such a man can answer his question better than I c^n. " There WOJ a moment's hush ort r the room, and then a man near the front of the hall slov. lv IOM He was an old man. ami tin* hand ho laid on Hhfl hack of the bench in front of him trembled as he apokfl "1 think I can f.tVly say that 1 hevo many tiim 1 DON III just such a condi? tion and have always tried to be a Christian under all conditions. I don't know that 1 have alwavi asked this question. 'What would Jesus doV when I have boosVsl of work, but 1 do know I have tried to be his disciple at all times. Yes." tho man went on. with a ' sad smile that was MDM pathetic to the bishop and Mr. Maxwrll than the young man's grim despair?"yes. 1 have beg? ged, and I have bon to the charity or? ganizations, and 1 have done every? thing when out of a job. except steal and lie. in order to get food and fuel. 1 don't know that Jesus would have done somo of tho things 1 have been obliged to do for a living, hut I know I have nev?r knowingly done wrong when out of work Sometimes I think maybo ho would havo starved sooner than beg 1 don't know The old man's voice trembled, and he looked around the room timidly A si? lence followed, broken by a fierce voice from a large, black haired, heavily bcafded man who sat three seats from the MahOfft The minute he spoke nearly every man in the hall leaned forward eagerly The man who had asked the question. "What would Jesus do in my case?" slowly sat down and ir ked the man next to him. "Who's that?" "That's ('arisen. I hfl socialistic lead er Now yoii"11 hear something " ??This is all I.i. to my mind." be? gan < arisen, while his great, bristling beard shock with the deep, inward anger of the man "The whole of our system Ii at tan lt. What we call civi? lization is rotten to the core. There is do use trying to hide it or cover it up. We live in an age of trusts and com? bines and capitalistic greed that means simply death to thousands of innocent men. women and children. I thank God. if there is a God. which I very much doubt, that [, for one, have never dared to inarry and try to havo a home. Home! Talk of hell! Is there a.iy big? ger than the one this man with his three children has on his hands ripht this minute? And he's only ono out of thousands, and yet this city and every other big cit)' in this country has its thousands of professed Christians who havo all the luxuries and comforts and who go to church .Sundays and sing their hymr.s about giving all to Jesus and bearing the cross and following him all the way and being saved! I don't say that there aren't some good men and women among them, but let the minister who has spoken to us here to? night go into any one of a dozen aris? tocratic churches I could name and pro poso to tho members to take any such pledge as tho one he's proposed here and see how quick the people would laugh at him for a fool or a crank or a fanatic. Oh, no! That's not the remedy. That can't ever amount to anything. We've got to havo u new start in the way of government. The whole thing needs re? constructing. I don't look for any re? form worth anything to come out of the churches. They are not with the people. They are with the aristocrats, with the men of money. The trusts and monopolies have their greatest men in tho churches. The ministers as a class are their slaves. What we need is a system that shall start from the com? mon basis of socialism founded on the rights of the common people"? Cnrlscn bad evidently forgotten all about tho three minuto rule and was launching himself into a regular ora? tion that meant, in his usual surround? ings, before his usual audience, an hour at least, when tho man just behind him pulled him down unceremoniously and rose. Car Isen was angry at first and threatened a little disturbance, but the bishop reminded him of the rule, and he subsided, with several mutterings in his beard, while the next speaker be? gan with a very strong eulogy on the value of the single tax as a genuine remedy for all the social ills. He was followed by a man who made a bitter attack on the churches and ministers and declared that the two great obsta? cles in the way of* all true reform were the courts and the ecclesiastical ma? chines. When he sat down, a man who bore every mark of being a street laborer sprang to his feet and poured out a per? fect torrent of abuse against the corpor? ations, especially the railroads. The minute his time was up a big. brawny fellow who said he was a metal worker by trade claimed the floor and declared that the remedy for the social wrongs was trades unionism. This, he said, would bring on the millennium for la? bor more than anything else. The next man endeavored to give some reasons why so many persons were out of em? ployment and condemned inventions as the works of the devil. He vas loudly applauded by the rest of the company Finally the bishop called time 00 the "freefor all" and asked Rachel to sing Rachel Winslow had grown into a very strong healthful, humble Chris? tian during that wonderful year in Raymond dating from the Sunday when she lirst took the pledge to do as Jesus would do. and her great talent of song had been folly cons< crated to tho service of her Master, WIm n i bo began to ting tonight at this settlement meet* ing. she had newer prayed more deeply for results tc come from hi r voice?the voice which she doW regarded as the Master':-, to be us d lor him. Certainly her prayer was being a*: swered M she sang. She had chosen the Words Hark, the voice of Jesu; catling, Follow me, follow niv! Again Henry Maxwell, sitting there, war reminded of his first night at the Rectangle in th 1 tent when Rachel sang the peoplo into quiet. The effect was tho same here, What wonderful power a good voice consecrated to the Master's service always is! Rachel's great nat? ural ability would have made her one of tho foremost opera Bingen of the age. Surely this audience had never before heard such melody. How could it V The men who had drifted in from the street pat entranced by a voice which "hack in the world" never could be heard by the common people because the owner of it would charge 19 or s:; for the privilege. The song poured out through tho hall as free and glad as if it were n foretaste of salvation itself. Carlson, with his great black bearded face, absorbed the music with the deep love of it peculiar to his nationality, and a tear ran over his cheek and glis? tened in his beard as his face softened and became almost noble in its aspect. Tho man out of work who had wanted to know what Jesus would do in his pi ice sat with grimy hand on the back of tho bench in front of him. with his mouth partly open, his great' tragedy for the moment forgotten. The song while it lasted was food and work and warmth and union with his wife and babies once more. The man who had spoken so fiercely against tho churches and the ministers sat with his head erect at first, with a look of stolid re? sistance, as if he stubbornly resented the introduction into the exercises of anything that was even remotely con? nect! d with the church or its form of worship, but gradually he yielded to the power that was swaying the hearts of all the persona in that room, and a look of sad thonghtfnlness crept over his face The bi (hop said to himself that night while Rachel was singing that if the world of sinful, diseased, depraved, lost humanity could only have the gospel preached to it by consecrated prime donnas and professional tenors and alto-* and bassos ho believed it would hasten the coming of the kingdom quick? r than any other one force "Why, oh. why. " he cried in his heart as he li-. teiied. "has the world's great treasure in Bon?-r been so often held far from the poor because the"'personal possessor oi voice or fingers capable of stirring di vineat melody baa so often regarded the gift as something with which to make money! Shall there be no martyrs among the gifted ones of the earth ? ! Shall there be no giving of this great gift as well as of others?" And Henry Maxwell again, as before, called up that other audience at the Rectangle, with increasing longing for a larger spread of the new diseipleship What he had seen and heard at the set? tlement burned into him deeper the be? lief that the problem of the city would bo solved if the Christians in it should once follow Jesus as he gave command ment But what of this great mass of humanity, neglected and sinful, the very kind of humanity the Saviour came to save, with all its mistakes and narrowness, its wretchedness and loss of hope?above all, its unqualified bit? terness toward the church V That was what smote Henry Maxwell deepest. Was the church, then, so far from the Master that the people no longer found him in the church ? Was it true that the church had lost its power over tho very kind of humanity which in the early ages of Christianity it reached in the greatest numbers? How much was true in what the socialist leader said about tho uselessness of looking to the church for reform or redemption be? cause of the selfishness and seclusion and aristocracy of its members? He waa more and more impressed with the appalling fact that the com? paratively few men in the hall, now being held quiet for awhile by Rachel's voice, represented thousands of others just like them, to whom a church and a minister stood for less than a saloon or a beer garden as a source of comfort or happiness. Ought it to be so? If the church members were all doing as Jesus would do. could it remain true that armies of men would walk the streets for jobs and hundreds of them curse the church and thousands of them find in the saloon tle ir best friend? How far were the Christians responsible for this human problem that was personally illustrated right in this hall tonight? Was it true that the great city churches would, as a rule, refuse to walk in Je? sus' steps so closely as to suffer, actual? ly suffer., for his s;tke? [ tTO HE CONTINUED.] THOSE BOER LADIES. By Middle Life They Are Almost Too Part to Walk. The Iioer woman is very little like the trim, handsome Dutchwoman of her ancestral Holland. She is seldom pretty. Her complexion is her princi? pal charm, and she guards this care? fully whenever she goes out. She is never seen outdoors without a great/ peaked bonnet on her head, her visits to church being made behind an al? most oriental seclusion of veils. This is necessary to preserve the pink and white of her skin, for the climate would otherwise soon tan it to the col? or of soie leather. Her eyes are small and set close together, ami her features are irregular. Her cheeks are broad and Hat, and her hair is naturally light in color, although time and weather soon bleach it from its early straw color. At a very early age she ioses all her teeth, for she is constantly chewing sweet cakes and confection? ery. A KuropeaO woman would .replace the molars that nature has deprived her of with well mounted works of art, but the Boer woman does not do this. She thinks it would be impious thus to try to duplicate the work of the Creator. Her figure is thick and almost waistless. While still a young woman she begins to grow fat. and by the time middle life is reached she Is often so unwieldy that the only ex? ercise she is able to take is to waddle cumbrously from one armchair to an? other. She is clad in a loose, scantily mad.? gown, devoid of trimming and apparently waistless. The day gar? ments of the Boers are also their night clothes, SO the gown Is generally wrin? kled.?Charleston News and Courier. Snmon'N Talking 'Jan. Samoa's talking man. or "tolal'ali." Is a character. All the affairs of state of the village in Which he holds office an? carried upon his shoulders, in or? dinary he is the chief adviser, persuad? er, convlncer and restrainer of the leading chiefs. Having the gift of eloquence, he makes the most of it. He enjoys im? munity from many things. He cannot j be spoken of In ordinary lerne;. If it j should be necessary to speak of his eyes or his mouth or Iiis limbs, special honorable words must be used, words which attach to him alone and have never been applied to the personal parts of ordinary men. As he stands to deliver his soft, per* suasive. mellifluous oratory, with staff of office in his hand and his fly duster thrown over his shoulder, any one can see that he is a man of great impor? tance, or if this is not apparent from his attitude It may be gathered from the attention paid to his utterances by gray haired chiefs and by youths and maidens. If the talking man is a clev? er fellow and understands his busi? ness, he is the chief ruling power in his tribe, although the nominal headship Is always vested In a chief or patri? archal figurehead.

Receiving DO response, he was about to depart when he heard a window in the next honst? open and a woman's voice say, "Mis. Smith, the minister's at your door." What was the pastor's surprise and amusement when he caught Mrs. Smith's response wafted gently around the cornel- of the house. "Sh. don't you a'pose 1 know it!" The next Sunday after service Mrs. Smith met ber pastor and expressed her sorrow that she was away when he had called. Our Curioua Ilrnin. A wonderful piece of self analysis, worthy of St, Augustine, which occurs in one of John Donne's funeral ser? mons, gives poignant expression to what must doubtless have been a com? mon condition of so sensitive a brain. "I throw myself down in my cham? ber, and I call in and invite Clod and his angels togc-Mier. and when they are thero 1 neglect God and his angels for the noise of a fly, for the rattling of a coach, for the whining of a dog; I talk on in the same posture of prayer, eyes lifted up, knees bowed down, as though I prayed to God, and if God should ask me when I last thought of God in that prayer 1 cannot tell. Sometimes I find that I forgot what I was about, but when I began to forget it I cannot tell. A memory of yesterday's pleasures, a fear of tomorrow's dangers, a straw under my knee, a noise in mine ear, a chimera in my brain, troubles me in my prayer."

When its limited express trains were put on some years ^go, the Lake Shore Railway company oecided to charge extra for the privilege of riding on them, and John Novell, who was pres? ident of the lytten at that time, gave orders that passet, half rate tickets, etc.. should not be honored on die "fli? ers." It was not intended, of course, that the complimentaries issued to high officials of other roads should be void on the fast trains, but through an over? sight a yearly pass was sent to D. W.
