IN HIS STEPS. "What Would - Jesus Do?" By Charles M. Sheldon. [C?pjrrl(kt?l and published in book forin.by lk? Advsnss Publishing Co., of Chicago.] "Ottr tUlfld," she went on. nna th?*? wu a eednaee in her voice that axh an imprenioa on the rest that deepened when they thought it over afterward. "I do not want any of you to credit me with an act of great generoeity or philanthropy. I have come to know lately that the money winch i 1st* called my own is not my own. tmt God'a If I, as a steward of his. seo aome wise way to invest his money, it is not an occasion of vainglory or thanks frdm any one Bimply because I have proved honest in my administration of the funds he has asked me to nee for his glory. I have been thinking of this very plan for some time. The fleet is, dear friends, that in onr coming fight with the whisky power in Raymond, and it has only just begun, we shall need The News to champion the Christian side. You all know that nil the other papers are for the saloon. As long as the saloon exists tho work of rescuing dying souls at the Rectangle is oarxied on at a terrible disadvantage. What can Mr. Gray do with his gospel meetings when half his converts are drinking people, daily tempted and endiced by the saloon on every corner ? The Christian daily we must have. It would be giving up to the enemy to Jiave The News fail. I have great confidence in Mr. Norman's ability. I havo not seen his plans, but I have the confidence that he has in making the paper pucoeod if it is carried forward on a Oarge enough scale. ( "I cannQt believe that Christian intelligence in journalism will bo inferior to un-Chrlstian intelligence, even when ft comes to making the paper pay financially. So that la my reason for putting Ibis mvaey?God's, not mino^?into tfcis powerful agent fcfr doing as Jcsns rou*a. xz wo can Keep Bncu a paper (going for ono year, I shall be willing to fH that amount of money used in the experiment. Do not thank me. Do not consider my promise a wonderfnl thing. tCThst have I done with God's money all theae years but gratify my own selfish, physical, personal desires ? What MA I do with the rest of it bnt try to maka some reparation for what I have stolen from God ? That is the way 1 look at it now. I believe it is what Jaaoa would da" f Over the lecture room swept that tinefceu yet distinctly felt wave of Divine presence. No one spoke for awhile, tlenry Maxwell, standing thero where Che faces lifted their intense gaze into fcia. felt what he had already felt before, a strange setting back out of the nineteenth century into the first, when foe diaciples had ell things in common, tmd a spirit of fellowship must have flowed freely between them such as the first church of Raymond had never fatown. How much had his church membership known of this fellowship In daily interests before this little company had begun to do as Jesns would do? It was with difficulty that he thought of his present age and its surroundings, The same thought was present with all the rest also. There was an unspoken comradeship such as they had never known. It was present with them while Virginia was speaking and durtng the silence that followed. If it had been defined by any one of them, it vutu jictuopa uttVO UIKVIl bomo BUC11 shape as this: ? "If I shall in the conrso of my obedience to my promise meet with loss or trouble in the world, I can depend upon the genuine, practical sympathy and fellowship of any other Christian in this room who has with me made the pledge to do all things by the rnle, 'What would Jesus do?' " \ All this the distinct wave of spiritual power expressed. It had the offect that physical miracle may have had on the early disciples in giving them a feeling of confidence in their Lord that helped them to face loss and martyrdom with courage and even joy. | Before they went away this time there were several confidences like tlioso of Edward Norman. Some of the young men told of the loss of places owing to their honest obedience to their promise. Alexander Powers rtv~>W> Ivrinflr? #-.? tiw. i fact that the commission hud promised i tp take action at the earliest date posI aihle. | ( He wae already at hi9 old work of I telegraphy. It was a significant fact I that since his action in resigning his & position neither his wife nor daughter had appeared in pnblic. No one but I himself knew the bitterness of that famI ily estrangement and misnnderstanding I of the higher motive. Yet many of the B disciples present in the meeting carried similar burdens. There were things which they could not talk about. Henry Maxwell, from his knowledge of his ^ftchurch people, could almost certainly [ know that obedience to this pledge had j^v>rodaced in the hearts of families sep^ ratlon of sympathy and even the intro[jpnctlon of enmity and hatred Tmly 3s"a man's foes are they of his own ^ ousehold" when the rnle of Jesus is F>y wma ana disobeyed by othis la a great divider of lifo. One Ik either parallel with him or across his path. ore than any other feeling nt ting rose the tide of fellowship nother. Henry Maxwell watch-embling for its climax, which was not yet reached. When it Ire wonld it lead them? He know, bat he was not nndnly abont^t^ only he watched with simple premise a it was- heing ooeyea i:i there virions lives. Those results were nlroady being fr*lt all over tho city. Who conld mensure their influence ct the end of tho year? One practical form of this fellowship showed itself in tho assurances which Edward Norman received in enpport of his paper. There was r. general flocking toward him when the meeting closed, j and tho response to liis appeal for help 1 from the Christian ''iaciplea in Kay- ! mond was fully understood by this little company. The value of such a paper in j the homes and in behalf of good citizenship. especially at the present crisis in the city, could not be measured. It remained to bo seen what could bo dono now that tho paper was endowed so liberally. But it still was true, as Edward Norman insisted, that money alone could not mal:o tho paper a power. It must receive tho support and sympathy of the Christians in Raymond before it could bo counted as one of tho great Christian forces of tho city. Tho week that followed this Sunday meeting was one of great excitement in Raymond. It was the week of tho election Den aid March, true to his promise, took up his cross and bore it manfully, but with shuddering, with groans and even tears, for his deepest ' conviction was touched, nud ho tore himself out of the scholarly seclusion of years with pain and anguish that cost him more than anything he had ever done as a follower of Christ. With j him were a few of the college professors who had made the pledge in tho First church. Their experience and suffering were tho samo as tho president's, for their isolation from all tho duties of citizenship had been tho same. Tho ! same was also trno of Henry Maxwell, who plunged into the horror of this light against whisky and its allies with a sickening dread of each day's encounter with it. Never had ho borno such a cross. Ho staggered under it, and in the brief intervals when he camo in from tho work and sought tho quiet of his study for rest the sweat broko out 011 his forehead, and ho felt tho :ie tunl terror of one who marches into unseen, unknown horrors. Looking back on it afterward, he was amazed at his experience. Ho was not a coward, but he felt a dread that any man of his habits feels when confronted suddenly with a duty which carries witli it the doing of certain things so unfamiliar that the actual details connected with it betray his ignorance and till him with the shame of humiliation. When Saturday, tho election day, came, the excitement rose to its height. An attempt was made to close all the saloons. It was partly successful, but . there was a great deal of drinking going on all day. The Rectangle Itoilod and heaved and cursed and turned its worst side out to tho gaze of the city. Gray had continued his meetings during the wcok, and the results had been even greater than ho had dared to hope. When Saturday came, it seemed to him that the crisis in his work had been reached. Tho Holy Spirit and tho satau of rum seemed to rouso up to a desperate conflict. Tho more interest in tho meetings tho moro ferocity and vilcnc .s outside. The saloon men no longer concealed their feelings. Open threats of violence wcro made. Once during the week Gray and his littlo company of helpers were assailed with missiles of various kinds as they left the tent late at night. The j)olico sent down special prrtection, and Virginia and Rachel were always under tho protection of Rollin or Dr. West. Rachel's power in song had not diminished. Rather with each night it seemed to add to the intensity und reality of tho Spirit's presence. Gray had at first hesitated about having n meeting that night, but ho had a simple rule of notion and was always guided by it. The Spirit seemed to lead them to continue the meeting, and so Saturday night ho went on, a.3 I usual. Th<f excitement all over tho city had | reached its climax when the polls cJo; \1 | at 6 o'clock. Never had there been e :c!?. j a contest in Raymond. Tho i- :uo or j licenso or no licenro had never be-. .1 an , issue under such circumstances. Kcvcr before had such elements in theci'y j been arrayed against each other. It was | an unheard of thing that tho president | of Lincoln college, tho pastor of th First church, tho dean of the cath'dr ], j the profetsional men living in th" fine J houses on tho boulevard, should t-.>:r.e | personally into tho wards and hy tlir-ir presenco and their example roprosout tho Christian conscience of tho place. Tho ward politicians wero astonish- d at the sight. However, their astonishment did not prevent their activity. Tho fight grew hotter every hour, and when (I o'clock came neither side conk I have guessed at tho result with any ci rtainty. Every or.o agreed that never had there been such an election in Kay- ; rnond, and both sides awaited tho an- , uuuncenieni or tno result with the , greatest interest. It was after 10 o'clock when the ' meeting at tho tent was closed. It had been a strange and in sonio respects a remarkablo meeting. Ilenry Maxwell had corao down again at Gray's request. Ho was completely worn out by tho day's work, but tho appeal from Gray . came to him in such n form that be did j not feel nblo to resist it. Donald Marsh ; was also present. Ho had never been to tho Rectangle, nnd his curiosity was aroused from what ho had noticed of j the influence of tho evangelist in tho I worst, part of the city. Dr West and ! Rollin lmd come with Rachel and Vir- } ginia, and Loreen, who had staid with Virginia, was present near tho organ, in her right mind, sober, with a humility and dread of herself that kept her as closo to Virginia as a faithful dog. All through tho sorvico Loreen sat with bowed head, weeping n part of tho time, sobbing when Rachel sang tho song, "I was a wandering sheep," clinging with ulmost visible, tangible yearning to tho ono liopo she had found, listening to prayer and appeal and confession all about her like ono who was ft part of a new creation, yet fearful of bcr rigut to snaro in it raor. Tho tent had been crowded As on poino other occasions, thero was more or loss distnrbancc on tho out ido of tho tout This had increased b i tho night advanced, and Gray tlionirht it wiso not to prolong tho envied. Gueo in nwhilo ti shotit no from u large crowd swept into tho tent Tho returns from tho election wcro beginning tocomo in. and tho Recta ngio had emptied every' lodging house, den and hovel into tho streets. In spite of tho uistrafctious, Rachel's singing kept tho crowd in tho tent from dissolving. There wero n. dozen or inoro conversions. Finall^tho crowd became restless, and Gray closed tho service, remaining n littlo whilo with tho converts. . Rachel. Virginia, Lcreen, Rollin and tho doctor. President Marsh and Henry Maxwyll went out together, intending to fro down to their usual waiting place for their car. Ah they camo out of the tent they at onco were aware that tho Rcctauglo was trembling on theedgo of a drunken riot, and ?3 they pushed through the gathering rnob3 in tho narrow streets they began to realize that they themselves wero objects of great attention. "There he is. tho blolro in tho tall hat. He's tho leader!" shouted a rough voice. President Marsh, with his erect, commanding iigr.-. e. was conspicuouu in tho little company. "How has tho election gone? It is too early to know tho result yot. isn't itV" Ho licked the ?jnestiou aloud, and a mr.n answered: "They e;.y second and third wards have gone almost soiid for no license. If that is so. tho whisky men have been beaten." "Thank God! I hopo it is true," exclaimed ilenvy Maxwell. "Marfli, wo are in danger hero. Do you realize our situation ? Wo ought to get the ladies to a placo of safety.'' "That is true," said Marsh gravely. At tiifit moment a shower of stones and other missiles fell over them. Tho narrow street find sidewalk in front of them were completely choked with the worst element:? of iho Rectangle. "This looks serious," said Maxwell. With Marsh and Rollin and Dr. West he started to go forward through the small oiiening, Virginia, Rachel and Loreen following close and sheltered l>v tho men, who now realised something of their danger. Tho Rectangle was drunk and enraged. It saw in Daniel Marsh and Henry Maxwell two of tho leaders in tho election contest who had perhaps robbed tliem of their beloved saloon. . "Down with tho aristocrats!" shouted a shrill voice, more like a woman's than a man's. A shower of mud and stones fallowed. Rachel remembered afterward that Rollin jumped directly in front of her and received on his head and chest a number of blows that would probably have struck her if ho had not shielded her from them. And just then, beforo the police reached them, Loreen darted forward at tho side of Virginia and pushed her aside, looking up and screaming. It was fo sudden that 110 one had time to catch the faco of the ono who did it. But ont of the tipper window of a room over tho very saloon where Loroen had couio ont n week before somo one had thrown a heavy bottle. It struck Loroen on tho bend, and sho fell to tho ground. Virginia turned and instantly kneeled down by her. Tho polico officers by that time had reached tho littlo company. Donald Marsh raised his arm and shouted over tho howl that was beginning to riso from the wild beast in the mob. "Stop! You've killed a woman!" Tho announcement partly sobered the crowd. "Is it true?" Henry Maxwell asked as Dr. West kneeled on tho other side of Loroen, supporting lior. "She's dying!" said Dr. West briefly. Loroen opened her eyes and smiled at Virginia. Virginia wiped tho bleed from lier face and then bent over and Kitfeci ncr. i.orcon sinned again, cuu tho nest moment lier soul was in paradise. And yet this is only ono we man out cf thousands hilled by this drink devil. Crowd back now, yo sinful men and women in this filthy street! Let this august dead form bo born? through your stupefied sobered ranks. She was or.o of your own children. Tho 11 -etangle had stamped tho imago of tho heart on her. Thank liini who died for sinners that tho other imago of n new soul now shines out of her palo clay. Crowd hack! Givo them room! Let her pass reverently, followed and surrounded by tho weeping, awestruck company of Christians. Yo killed her, yo drunken murderers! And yet, and yet, O Christian America, who killed this woman ? Stand back! Silence there! A woman has been killed 1 Who? Loreen, child of tho streets?poor, drunken, vilo sinner! O Lord God, how-long? Yes; the saloon killed her?that is, tho voters in Christian America who license the saloon. And tho judgment day only shall dodare who was tho murderer of Loreen. CHAPTER VII. lie that followeth me shall not walk in darkness. Tho body of Loreen lay in state at tho Pago mansion on tho avenue. It was Sunday morning, and tho clear. sweet air, just beginning to breathe over tho city the perfume of opening blossoms in tho woods r.nd fields, swept over the casket from ono of tho open windows at tho end of tho grand hall. Tho church bells woro ringing, and tho peoplo on tho avenue going by to servico turned curious, inquiring looks up at tho great house and went on, talking of tho recent events which had m strangely entered into nnd made history in tho city. At tho First chnrch Henry Maxwell, bearing on bis face marks of tho scene he had been throngh tho night l>eforo. confronted an innnenao congregation nnd spoke of it with a passion und a power that came so natnrally ont of the profound experiences of the day be I tore rnnt nis people reit tor mtn some ! tiling of the old fooling of pri-.l.? tlir; | once had in liia dramatic delivery Only this wri u different attitude, r.i all through his impassioned appeal thi morning thorn war. a r.cto af s.maun d r.r.tico ami stern condeumatioi thr.5 made mar y of thy members j?;iV with sclr uccusation or with in war* raider. For Raymond had nwokencd tlir. morning to tho fact that the city ha* gouo l'cr license, after all. Tho rrnuo r.i the Rectangle that llio second am third wards had gone 110 license prove* to bo false. It was trno that the victor; was woif by a very meager majority bat tho result was tho same as if it ha* 1 been ovcrwlv iming. Raymond ha* 1 voted to continue another year the sa loon. Tho Christians of Raymond stoo* condemned by tho result. More than i hundred t 'hvistians, professing disciples had failed to go to the pdlls, and man; inoro than that number had voted witl tho whisky men. If all llio churc members cf Raymond had voted a gains the caloon. it would today bo outlawc* instead of crowned l:ing of tho inunici pality. That had been tho fact in Ray mond for ycr.ro. The saloon ruled. 1\ * ono denied that.

Donald Marsh sat there, hi usual erect, handsome, firm, bright self confident bearing all gone, hi head bowed upon his breast, tho grca tears rolling down his cheeks, unmincl fnl of tho fact that never beforo had h shown outward emotion in a pnbli service. Edward Norman near by sal with his clear cut, keen fnco erect, bu liis lip trembled and ho clutched tho rn of tho pew with a feeling of emotio that struck deep into his knowledge c tho truth as Maxwell spoko of it. N man had given or suffered moro to in fluenco public opinion that last wee than Norman. The thought that th Christian conscience had boon arouse too late or too feebly lay with a weigh of accusation upon the heart of th editor. "What if ho had begun to d ns Jesus would long ago? Who coul tell what might have been nccomplishc by this time? And np in tho clioi Rachel Winslow, with her face bowe on tho railing of tho oak screen, gav way to a feeling slio had not yet a! lowed to master her, but it. eo unfitte her for lior part that when Henry Mas well finished and she tried to sing 111 closing solo after Iho prayer her voic broke, and for the first tinio in her lif ehowas obliged to sit down sobbing an unablo to go on. Over tho church in tlio silence thn followed thin strnngo scene, sobs an tho noiso of weeping arose. When ha tho First church yielded to eueh n liar tisin of tears? What had become of it regular, precise, cold, conventional 01 der of service, undisturbed by any vul gar emotion and unmoved by any fool ish excitement? But tho peoplo lia lately had their deepest conviction touched. They had been living so Ion; on their surface feelings that they ha almost forglten tho deeper wells c life. Now that they had broken to tli surface tho people were convinced c the meaning of their discipleship. TTniivv TVfo vwnll A i /I oelr morning for volunteers to* join tlw who had already pledged to do as Jcsu would, but when tlio congregation ha finally gone and he had entered the lec tuvo room it needed lmt a glance t show him that the original company o followers had been largely increased Tlio meeting was tender. It glowe with tlio Spirit's presence; it was nliv with strong and lasting resolve to begi: a war on tlio whisky power of Ray mond that would break its reign. Sine tlio first Sunday when tlio fii*st conipan of volunteers had pledged themselves t do as Jesus would do the different meet inga bad been characterized by distinc impulses or impressions. Today the en tire force of the gathering seemed to b directed to this one largo purpose. I was a meeting full of broken prayers of contrition, confession, of etron; yearning for a new and better city life and all through it ran tlio ono genera cry for deliverance from tlio saloon aia its awfnl curse. I3nt if tbo First church was derpi stirred by tho events of tlio week gon the Rectangle also felt moved ertrongl; in its own way. Tlio death of Loree: was not in itself eo romarkablo a fact It was her recent acquaintance wit tlio people from tlio city that' lifted lie into special prominence and aurrounde her death with more than ordinary im portanco. Every ono in tho Rcctangl knew that Loroen was at this mouicn tying in tho Pago mansion np 011 th avenue. Exaggerated reports of th magnificcnco of tho casket had alread furnished material for eager gossif The Rectangle was excited to know th details of the funeral. Would It b public V What did Miss Page intend t do? Tho Rectangle had never befor mingled even in this distantly pcr.xmr manner with tho aristocracy 011 th boulevard. The opportunities for doiu so wero not frequent.
