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.

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

joyful rehearsal of the wonderful ,
rents of the day, he sal down to think ,

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

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

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,

and the first of a series of such papers

who bud id o taken the pledge.
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*
