Henry-Niaxwel] kept asking this q
tion even af ter Rachel had finished s
ing and the meeting had come io
end. after a social gathering which
very informal. He asked it while
little company of residents, with
.Raymond visitors, were having a &
tionai service, as the custom in the
"?l?ment was. He asked it during a <
ference with the bishop and Dr. Bi
"which lasted until 1 o'clock. He as
it as he kneeled again before sieex
and poured ont his soul in his petil
for spiritual baptism on the churcl
America such as it had never kne
He asked it the first thing in the mc
ing and all through the day as he w
over the settlement district and saw
life of the people so far removed fr
the life abundantly. Would the chu
members, would the Christians,
l\ only in the churches of Chicago, i
throughout the errantry, refuse to w
in his steps if, in order to do so. tl
taust actually take np a cross and j
bw him?
This was the one question that c<
dually demanded answer. He I
planned, when he came to the city,
return to Raymond and be in his oi
pulpit on Sunday, but Friday morni
lie had received at the settlement a c
from the pastor of one of the larg<
churches in Chicago and had been i
vited to fill the pulpit fer both morni:
and'evening services.
At first he hesitated, but finally t
cepted, seeing in- it the hand of t
Spirit's guiding power. He would ti
Ms own question. He would prove ?
truth or falsity of the charge ma
against the church at the settleme
meeting. Eow far would it go in i
self denial for Jesus' sake ? How clo
/ would it walk in his steps"? Was ti
church willing to suffer fer its Haste:
Saturday* night he spent in pray
nearly the whole night There had ne
er been so great a wrestling-in his SOT:
even during his strongest esperienc
in Raymond. He ha!d. in faci. entert
upon a new experience. The definitio
of his own discipleship was receivii
an added test at this time, and he WJ
being led into a larger truth cf h
Lord
The great church was filled to its u
most. Henry Haswell, coming into tl
pulpit from that ail night vigil, felt tl
pressure of a great curiosity on the pa:
of the people. They had heard of tl
Raymond movement, as ali the chnrch<
had, and tue recent action of Dr. Brue
had added to the general interest in ti
pledge. "With this curiosity was some
thing deeper, more serious. Mr. Ma:
well felt that also, and in the kriowledg
that the Spirit's presence was his Irvin
strength he brought his message an
gave it to the church that cay.
Ee had never been what would b
called a great preacher. He had not th
force or the quality that makes remark?
able preachers. But ever since he ha
promised to co as Jesus would do h
had grown ir. a certain quality cf per
' evasiveness that had all the essentials o
true eloquence. This morning the peo
pie felt the complete sincerity and hu
mility cf a man who had gone deep int
the heart of a great truth. After i ll
ing brierly of some results iii his ow]
church in Raymond pince the ple?g
was taken he '.vent <n to ask the ones
tion he had been asking since the settle
ment meeting. He hat: taken for hi
theme the story of the young man wk<
came to Jesus asking what he must d<
to obtain eternal life. Jesus had testet
him: "Sell all that thou hast and givi
to the poor, cud thou shalt have treasury
in heaven. And. corn?: follow me.'
But the young man was not willing tc
suffer to that extent. If following Jesui
meant snnering in that way. he wa;
not willing, He would like to f< !'.. v?
Jesus, but not if he had to give r.;> s<
much
44Is it true. " continued Henry Max
Tell, and his fine, thoughtful fae?
glow, a with a passion of ar.:, -al that
stirred the people as they had seldom
been st irr; d-*4is ir true that th ? church
of today, the church that is call d af?ei
Christ's own name, would refuse tc
follow Jesus at the expense of sxtm ring,
of physical loss, cf temporary gain"!
The statement vas made at a large
gathering in the settlement last week
by a leader of workingmen that it was
hopeless to look to the church for any
reform or redemption of society. On
what was that statement based? Plain?
ly on the assumption that the church
contained for the most part men and
women who thought more of their own
ease and luxury than of the sufferings
and needs and sins of humanity. How
far was that true? Are the Christians
of America ready to have their disciple?
ship tested 1 How about the men who
possess large wealth ? Are they ready to
take that wealth and use it as Jesus
would ? How about the men and women
of great t-ilent? Are they ready to con
-secrate that talent to humanity, as Jesus
.undoubtedly would do?
*'Is it not true that the call has come
in this age for a new exhibition of dis?
cipleship. Christian discipleshix>? Von
who live in this great, sinful city must

help? Is it not a matter of concern to
you personally that the saloon kills its

not a patter of personal suffering in

in the face of these facts, which everj

"W. .t would Jesus do? Is not thal

not commanded to follow in his steps"
How much is tia..1 Christianity of the
age suffering for him? Is it denying it?
self at the cost of ease, comfort, luxury,
elegance of living? What does the age
need more than personal sacrifice ? Does
the charra do its duty in following
Jesus when it gives a little money to
establish missions or relieve extreme
cases of want? Is it .-.ny sacrifice for a
man who is worth ?10.OOO.OOO simply
to give ?10.000 for some benevolent
work? Is not giving something that
costs him practically nothing, so far as
any p< rsonal pain or suffering goes? Is
it true that the Christian disciples to?
day in most of our churches ?aro living
soft. easy, selfish lives, very far from
any sacrifice that can be called sacrifice?
What would Jesus do?
"it is the personal element that
Christian discipleship needs to empha
I size. 'The gift without the giver is
bare." The Christianity that attempts
to suffer by proxy is not the Christian?
ity of Christ Each individual Chris?
tian, business man. citizen, needs to
follow in his steps along the path of
personal sacrifice for him. There is not
a different path today from that of
! Jesus' own times It is the same path.
The call of this dying century and of
the new one soon to be is ca Herl for a
j new discipleship, a new fellowship of
j Jesus, more like the early, simple, apos
; tolic Christianity when the disciples
i left all and literally followed the Mas?

kind can face the destructive selfishness
' of the age with .any hope of overcoming

When Henry .Maxwell finished 1
sermon, ho paused and looked at t
people with a look they never fore;
and at the moment did not understan
Crowded into that fashionable chur
that day were hundreds of men ai
women who had for years lived t
easy, satisfied life of a nominal Chri
tianity. A great silence fell over tl
congregation. Through the silence the
came to the consciousness of all tl
souls there present a knowledge, stra:
ger to them now fo years, of a Divii
power. Every one xpected the preach
to call for volunteers who would do ?
Jesus would do. but Henry Maxwe
had been lcd by the Spirit to deliv<
his message this time and wait for r
suits to come.
He closed the service with a tend?
prayer that kept the Divine present
lingering very near every hearer, an
the people slowly rose to go out.
Then followed a scene that woul
have been impossible if any mere ma
had been alone in his striving for r<
snits.
Men and women in .great nr.mbe:
crowded around the platform to s?
Henry Maxwell and to bring him th
promise or' their consecration to ti:
pledge to co as Jesus, would a >. ]
was a voluntary, spontaneous mov?
mont that broke upon Maxwell's so;
with a result he could not measure. Bti
had he. not been praying for this-'vcr
"thing? It was an answer that mor
than met his desires.
There followed this movement
prayer servir? that in its impression
repeated the Raymond experience. I:
the evening, to Maxwell's intense joy
the Endeavor society, almost to a mern
ber. came forward, as so many of th
church members had done in the morn
ing. and seriously, solemnly, tenderly
took the pledge to do as Jesus worth
do. A deep wave of spiritual baptisn
broke over the meeting near its closi
that was indescribable in its tender
joyful, sympathetic results.
That was a remarkable day in th
history <.?'' jhurch. but even mori
so in tilt- Istory of Henry Maxwell H
left the . .eeting very late. He went ti
his room at the settlement, where h<
was still stopping, and aft r an hom
with the bishop and Dr. Bruce st ent i:
a joyful rehearsal of the won?: -rfu
events of the day. he : ' down to . him
over again by himself all the experienc*
he was having as a Christian disciple;
He kneeled t > pray, as he always dir"
now. before going to sleep, and it wa;
while he was on Iiis knees this hight
that he had a waking vision of whal
might be in to-- world when once thc
new discipleship had mace its way int?
the conscience and consciousness ol
Christendom. lie was fully conscious <*i
being awake, but no less certainly did
it seem t*> him that he saw certain re?
sults with great distinctness, partly as
realities of the future, partly as great
longings that they might be realities,
and this is what Henry Maxwell saw in
this waking vision :
He saw himself first going back to the
First church in Raymond, living there
in a simpler, more self de nying fashion
than he had yet been willing too"bserve.
because he saw ways in which he could
help others who were really dependent
on him for help. He also saw more dim?
ly that the time would come when his
position as pastor of the church would
cause him to suffer more, on account of
growing opposition tonis interpretation
of Jesus and his conduct; but this was
vaguely outlined. Through it ail ha
heard the words. "My grace is suffi?
cient for thee. "
Ile saw Rachel Winslow and Virginia
Page going on with their work of serv?
ice at the Rectangle and reaching ont
loving hands of helpfulness far beyond
tlc- limits of Raymond. Rac-h 1 he saw
married to Rollin Page, both fully con?
secrated to the Mas: r's use. both tol?
lo wi ag in his steps with an eagerness
intensified and purified by their love
for each other, and Rachel's voice sang
on in the slams and dark places of de?
spair and sin and drew lost souls back
to God and heaven once more
He saw President Marsh of the col?
lege using his great learning and hw
great influence to purify the city, to
ennoble its patriotism, to inspire the
young men and women who loved as
well as admired bim to live lives of
Christian service, always teaching them
that education means great responsibil?
ity for the weak and the ignorant Ile
saw Alexander Powers meeting with
sore trials in his family life, with a
constant sorrow in the estrangement of
wife and friends, but still going his
way in all honor, seeing and living in
all his strength the Master, whom he
had obeyed even unto loss cf social dis?
tinction and wealth.
He saw Milton Wright, the merchant,
meeting with great reverses, thrown
upon the future by a combination of
circumstances, with vast business in?
terests involved in ruin, tim ?ugh no
fault of his own. but coming out of all
his reverses with clean Christian honor,
to begin and work np to a position
where he eonld again be to hundreds of
young men an example of what Jesus
would be in business.

This life also the vision cast certain
dark and awful shad ?.at they '.va r.
not shown to him in detail.
He saw Felicia aral Stephen Clyde
happily married, living a beautiful life
together enthusiastic..-joyful in suffer?
ing, pouring out their great, strong,
fragrant service into the dull. dark,
terribie places of the great city and re?
deeming souls through the personal
touch of their home, dedicated to the
human homesickness ail about them.
He saw Di-. Bruce and The bishop go?
ing on with the settlement work. Ile
seemed to see the great blazing motto
over the door enlarged. '"What Would
Jesus Do?" and the daily answer to
that question was redeeming the city
in its greatest need.
He saw Burns an i his companion
and a great company of men like them
redeemed and going in turn to others,
conquering their liassions by the Divine
grace and proving by their daily lives
the reality of the Uew birth, even in the
lowest and most abandoned.
And now the vision was troubled. It
seemed to him that as he kneeled lie be?
gan to pray, and the vision was more
of a longing for a future than a reality
in the future. The church of Jesus in
the city and throughout the country
would it follow Jesus '; Was the move?
ment begun in Raymond to spend itself
in a few churches like Nazareth Avenue
and the one where he had preacdied to?
day and then che away es a local move?
ment, a stirring cn the surface, but not
to extend deep ead 1er ': He felt with
agony after the vision again. He
thought he saw the church of Jesus in
America open its heart to the moving
of the Spirit and rise to the sacrifice of
its case und self satisfaction in the
narue o? Jesus. Ile thought lie saw the
motto. "What Would Jesus Do':" in?
scribed over every church door and written
on every church members heart. The
vision vanished. It came back clearer
than before, and he saw the Endeavor so?
cieties all over the world carrying in their
great procession at some mighty conven?
tion a banner on which was inscribed.
"What Would Jesus Do?" And he thought
in the faces of the young men and women
he saw future joy of suffering, loss, self
denial, martyrdom, and when this part of
t'ne vision slowly faded he saw the figure
of the Son of God beckoning to him and
to ali the other actors in his life history.
An angel choir s >mewhere was singing. ?
There was a sound as of man) voices and
a. shout as of a great victory, and the figure
of Jesus grew au.re and iaore splendid.
l?e stood at the end of a long flight of
steps. "Vis! WP! <> my master, has not
the time come for this dawn of the mil?
lennium of Christian history " Oh break
upon tels Christendom of this age with
the light and the truth! Help us to follow
thee all the way!"
Ile rose a: last with tue awe of one who
has looked at heavenh tilings, lie fell the
human forces and the human sins of tie.'
worhla- never before, and. with a hope
th.-.t walks hand ia hand with faith and
love. Henry Maxwell, disciple of Jesu-,
laid him down to sleep and dreamed of the
regeneration of Christendom and saw ia
his dream a church of Jesus "without spot
or wrinkle or any such thiner,"* following
him all the way, walking obediently in his
step?.
THE END.
