Whta Htnrj Maxwell finished his ernion. ho paused and looked at the eople with a look they never forgot nd at the moment did not understand. Crowded into that fashionable church hat day were hundreds of men and ?omen who had for years lived the asy. satisfied lifo of a nominal Chris lanity A great silence fell over the ongregation. Through the silence there ame to the consciousness of all the mis there present a knowledge, stran er to them now fo years, of a Divine ower. Every one xpected the preacher i call for volunteers who would do as raus would do. but Henry Maxwell ad been led by the Spirit to deliver is message this time and wait for re? lit, s to come. He closed the service with a tender rayer that kept the Divine presence ngering very near every hearer, and le people slowly rose to go out. Then followed n scene that would nvo been impossible if any mero man ad been alone in his striving for re ilts. Men and women in great numbers rowded around the platform to see lenry Maxwell and to 1 ring him the romise of their consecration to the ledgo to do as Jesus, would da It ?as a voluntary, spontaneous move lent that broke upon Maxwell's soul dth a result ho could not measure. But ad ho not been praying for tnis very ting? It was an answer that more tan met his desires. There followed this movement a rayer service that in its impressions ?prated the Raymond experience. In te evening, to Maxwell's intense joy, je Endeaver society, almost to a mem- , er, came forward, as so many of tho tinrch members had done iu the inorn lg, and seriously, solemnly, tenderly. 1 >ok the pledge to do as Jesus would l o. A deep wave of spiritual baptism \ roke over the meeting near its close tat was Indescribable in its tender. >yful, sympathetic results. , That was a remarkable day in the {story of that church, but even more ( > in the history of Henry Maxwell. He ? it the mooting very late. He went to is room at the settlement, where he ?as still Btopping? and after an hour fl ith the bishop and Dr. Urin e, spent in ' joyful rehearsal of the wonderful , rents of the day, he sal down to think , ret again by himself all theexperience ] I was having as a Christian disciple. i Be kntfflad t > pray, ns be always did I BW, before going to lleop, and it was ?hile he was on his kn at thii bight I lat he had a waking vision of what j light DO in the world when once the (?v.- diaciploship bad made its way into , ie conscience and consciousness of hristendom. Ho was fully conscious of i ring awake, but DO lees certainly did I , seem to him that he saw certain re- I ilts with great distinctness, partly as i ?alities of tho future, partly as great ' ?ngings that tlioy might be realities. 1 ad this is what Henry Maxwell saw in lis waking vision He saw himself first going back to the irst church in Raymond, living there a a simpler, more self denying fashion tan he had yet been willing too*bservo. I SCanse h" saw ways in which he could i ?lp others who were really dependent , ii him for help. He also saw more dim ' that tho time would come when his osition as pastor of the church would inse him to suffer more, on account of rowing opposition to his Interpretation f Jeans) and his conduct, but this was 1 BgUely outlined. Through it all he 1 card the Words. "My grace is sttfii- | lent for thee." He saw Rachel Winslow and Virginia age going on with their work of si rv? ft at the Rectangle and reaching out >ving hands of helpfulness far beyond ie limits of Raymond. K u h 1 he saw tarried to Rollin Page, both fully con ?crated to the Master's use. both fol >wing in his steps with an eagerness itenaifled and purified by their love >r each other, and Rachel's Voice sang ti in tie* hIuius and dark places of do >air and sin and drew lost souls back i > God and heaven once more. He saw President Marsh of the col- , Ige nsing his great learning and his I rent Influence to purify the city, to tumble its patriotism, to inspire the ? oung men and women who loved as 'ell as admired him to live lives of ' hristian service, always teaching them lat education means great reeponaibil ,y for the weak and the ignorant He iw Alexander Powers meeting with ?re trials in his family life, with a jnstant sorrow in the estrangement of rife and friends, but still going his ay in all honor, seeing and living in 11 his strength the Master, whom he ad obeyed even unto loss of social dis nction and wealth. He saw Milton Wright, the merchant, leeting with great reverses, thrown pon the future by a combination of i I ixm instances, with vast business In ?rests involved in ruin, through no mit of Iiis own. but coming out of all is reverses with clean. Christ inn honor, > begin and work up to a position here he oonld again bo to hundreds of oung men an example of what Jesus 'oil Id he iu business.

He row Jailer Chase, who had denied his Master, growing into a cold, cynical, fori::;;! life, writing novels that were social BTJcce*x!8, bnt each one with a sting in it the reminder of his denial, the bitter remorse that, do what he would, no soc1 l! snccei i conld remove. He saw ?ose Sterling, dependent for some years npon her aunt and i'< \'.<?' i, finally married to ti man far older than herself, accepting the burden q4 a rela? tion that had no love in i i on Fe r p rt becann > oi* \\cr desire to be the wife of a rich man und enjoy the physical 1 us? uries that were all of life to her. Over this life also the vision cast cerl tin dark and awful shadows, bnt they wt ro not shown to him in detail. He saw Felicia and Stephen Clyd I happily married, living a beautiful life together enthusiastic, ."joyful in snffer ing. pouring out their great, strong, fragrant service into the dull. dark, terrible places of the great city and re? deeming souls through the personal touch of their home, dedicated to the human homesickness all about them. He saw L)r Bruce and the bishop go? ing on with the settlement work. He 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 ani his companion and a great company of men like them redeemed and going in turn to others, conquering their passions by the Divine grace and proving by their daily lives the reality of the Hew birth, even in the lowest and most abandoned. And now the vision was troubled. It Reemed to him that as he kneeled he 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 iu the city and throughout the country would it follow Jesus ? Was tho move? ment begun in Raymond to spend itself in a few churches like Nazareth Avenue und tho one where he had preached to? day aud then die away as a local move? ment, a stirring on the surface, but uot to extend deep and fr - : He felt with agony after the ision agnin. He thought he paw t'.e church of Jesus in America open its heart to the moving of the Spirit and rise to the sacrifice of its ease and self satisfaction in the nnine of Jesus. He thought be paw the motto, "What Would Jesus Do?" in Bcribed over every church door and written on every church member's henrt. The vision vanished. It enme bnck clearer than before, and he saw tho Endeavor so? cieties all over the world carrying in their great procession at some mighty conven? tion n banner on which was inscribed, k*\Yhat Would Jesus Do." And he thought in the faces of the young men and women he saw future joy of mtTering. loss, self ileninl, martyrdom, and when this part of the vision slowly faded he saw the figure of the Son of God b 'ckoning to him and to all the other actors in his life history. An angel choir s nnewhere wns singing. There was a sound ai of many voices and a shout aj of a great victory, and the figure of Jesus grew more a.id more splendid. He stood at the end of a long Bight of steps. "Yea ! Yes! 0 my master, has not the time come for this dawn of the mil? lennium of Christian history] oh break upon this Christendom of this age with the light and the truth! Help us to follow thee all the way I" He rose at laat with he awe of one who has looked at heavenh things, He felt the human forces and the human sins of the World as never before, and, with a hope that walks band in hand with faith and love. Henry Max ?voll, disciple of Jesus, laid him down to sleep and dreamed of the regeneration of Christendom and saw in bis dream a church of Jesus "without spot ur wrinkle or any such thing," following bint till the Way, walking obediently in bis ?tops* THE END. ltumarkablo Itescue.
