"What Would Jesus Do?"
By Oil MILES 11. SHELDON.

"Wliat was Hie first change yon
;'iadeV" asked Honry MaxwelL He felt
i if his sermon conld wait for him in
' .a study. A the interview with Mil
'a Wright continued he was not so
(rebut he had found material for a
tfinon without going back to his study
"I think the first change I had to
'take was in my thought of my em
'loyees. 1 came down here Monday
'turning ttfter that Sunday and asked
iiyself 'What would Jesus do in his
lation to these clerks, bookkeepers,
IBce boys, draymen, salesmen ? Would
le try to establish some sort of personal
flation to them different from that
.'hich 1 have sustained all these years?'
; soon answered the question by saying,
Yes Then came the question of what
t would lead me to do.
"I did not see how I could answer it
it my satisfaction without getting all
ly employees together and having a
alk with them So I sent invitations
o all of them, and we had a meeting
'Ut there iu the warehonse Tuesday
light
"A good many things came out of
'hat meeting I can't tell you all. I
fried to talk with the men as I im
agined Jesus might. It was hard work,
.'or I huve not been in the habit of it,
tnd I miiHt have made mistakes. But I
'an hardly make you believe. Mr. Max
well, the eiTect of that meeting on some
if the men Before it closed I saw more
'.ban a dozen of them with tears on
'heir faces I kept asking, 'What would
lesux diii' mid the more 1 asked it the
further along it pushed me into, the
most iiitimt'.J'.-niHl loving relations with
the men who have worked for me all
these yearn Every day something new
is eomiii'; rip. and 1 am right now in
the midst of a reconstructing of the
entiiv liusiiiess, so fur as its motive for
hein' rutidm'ted is concerned 1 am so
practically ii imrant of all plans for co
nperaiiim mid its application to business
that I inn trying to get information
from every p.- siblu source. 1 have late
ly made a special study of the life of
I'ittis Salt the great mill owner of
Bradford, '.upland, who afterward built
that model town on the banks of the
Aire There is a good deal iu his plans
that will help But I have not yet
reached definite conclusions in regard
to all the details. I am not enough used
(o Jesus methods. But see here. "
Milton eagerly reached up into one of
the pigeonholes of his desk and took
out a paper
"1 have sketched out what seems to
me a programme such as Jesus might
Ho by in a business like mine I want
yon to toll me what yen thiuk about
It.'
"WHAT JUKI'S WOULD PliOBADLY DO Ut
MILTON WKKHIT'B I'LAC'K AB A BUBINESS
MAN
"1 He would engage in business for
the purpose of glorifying God and not
for the primary purpose of making
uiouey
"3 All money that might be made
be would never regard as his own. but
us trust funds to be used for the good
of humanity
"3 His relations with all the per
tons in his employ would be the most
loving and helpful. He could not help
thiuking of them all in the light of
wuls to lx) saved. This thought would
ulway be greater than his thought of
making money iu business.
"4 He would never do a single dis
honest or questionable thing or try in
the remotest way to get the advantage
of any one else iu the same business.
"5 The principle of unselfishness
und helpfulness in all the details of the
business would direct ita details.
"0 Upon this principle he would
nhupe the entire plan of his relations to
his employees, to the people who were
his customers and to the general busi
otuu world with which he was con
nected. ''
Henry Maxwell read this over slowly
It reminded him of his own attempts
the day before to put into a concrete
form his thought of Jeans' probable ho
iou He was very thoughtful as he
looked up uud met Miltou Wright's
mger gaze
"Do yon believe yon can coutinn to
make your business pay on those line?'
"I do Intelligent nnseltishiiesHoiiht
to be wiser than intelligent selllsliucss,
fon t yon think! If the men who work
iu employees begin to feel a personal
hare in the profits of the business and.
more tluiu that, a personal love for
themselves on the part of the tlrtu,
won t tint result be more care, less
waste, more diligence, more faithful-
"Yes; I think so. A good many other
bnsiness men dou't, do they 1 I menu
us a general thing How about your relation.-
to I lie sellish world that is not
frying to make money ou Christian
principles?'
"That complicates my action, of

"Yes. us fur as i huve goue. it does.
As I told you, I am studying out my

would conduct it all so that God's king
dom would be evidently the first object
sought. On those general principles, as
I flay, I am working I must have time
10 complete the detail'."
When 'Henry Maxwell finally leit
Millon Wrilit, he was profoundly im
pressed with the revolution that was
deiiig wrought alieady in the business
As be putsed out of t lie store he caught
Kiinelliing of the new spirit of the place.
There was no mit-taking the fact that
Milton Wright's new relations to bis
miployees were t egi lining even soi-om,
lter less tban two weeks, to tranf-foim
the entire business. ThiB was apparent
in the conduct and faces of the clerks.
"If Milton Wright keeps on. he will
be one of the most influential preachers
in Raymond," said Henry Maxwell to
himself when he reached his study The
question rose as to his continuance in
this course when he began to loie
money by it, as was possible. Henry
Maxwell prayed that the Holy Spirit,
who had shown himsolf with growing
power in the company of the First
church disciples, might abide long with
them all, and with that prayer on his
lips and in his heart he began the prep
aration of a sermon in which he was
going to present to his people on Sun
day the subject of the saloon in Ray
mond, as he now believed Jesus would
do. He had never preached against the
saloon in this way before. He knew
that the things he should say would
lead to serious results. Nevertheless he
went on with his work, and every sen
tence he wrote or shaped was preceded
with the question, "Would Jesus say
that?" Once in the course of his study
he went down on his knees. No one ex
cept himself conld know what that
meant to him When had he done that
in the preparation of sermons before
the change that had come into his
thought of discipleship? As he viewed
his ministry now he did not dare to
preach without praying for wisdom. He
no longer thought of his dramatic de
livery and its effect on his audience.
The great question with him now was,
"What would Jesus do?"
Saturday night at the Rectangle wit
nessed some of the most remarkable
scenes that Mr Gray and his wife had
ever known The meetings had intensi
fied with each night of Rachel's 'sing
ing. A stranger passing through the
Rectangle in the daytime might have
heard a good deal about the meetings in
sue way and another. It cannot be said
that up to that Saturday night there
was any appreciable lack of oaths and
impurity and heavy drinking. The Rec
tangle would not have acknowledged
that it was growim; any better or that
even the singing had softened its con
versation or its outward manner. It
had too much local pride in being
"tough." H.!t. in spite of itself, there
was a yielding to a power it had never
measured a in, l.d not l.uow well enough
to resist beforehand
Gray had recovered his voice, so that
Saturday he was able to speak. The
fact that he wasoi.lii. .;cd to use his voice
carefully made it necessary for the peo
ple to be very quiet if they wanted to
hear. Gradually they had come to un
derstand that this man was talking
these many weeks and using his time
ud strength to give them a knowledge
of a Saviour, all out of a perrectly un
selfish love for fheui Tonight the great
crowd was as quiet as Henry Maxwell's
djcorous audience ever w:i The fringe
around the tunt was deeper, and the
saloons were practically emptv The
Holy Spirit had come at last, ana Cray
knew that one of the great prayers cvf
bis life was going to be answered.
And Rachel her singing was the
best, most wonderful Virginia or Jasper
Chase had ever known. They had come
together again tonight with Dr. West,
who had spent all his spare time that
week in the Rectangle with some char
ity cases. Virginia was at the organ,
Jasper sat on a front seat looking up at
Rachel, and the Rectangle swayed as
one man toward the platform as she
ung:
"Just I sm, without ona plot.
Hut that thy bloud waa shed (or me
And that thou bidst ma come to thee
0 Lamb ol God, I come, I comet"
Gray said hardly a word. He stretch
ed out his hand with a gesture of invi
tation, and down the two aisles of the
tent broken, Binful creatures, men and
women, stumbled toward the platform.
One woman out of tho street was noar
the organ.
THE BEST PRESSntPTiON IS
Grove's Tasteless Chill Tonic.
The formula ij plainly printed on every bottle hence you
know just what you arc taking when you take Grove's. Imitators
.lo not advertise their formuli knowi. il.-t you would .not buy
their medicine it you knew what it contained. Grove's contains
Iron and Quinine put up in correct proportions and is in a Tasteless
form. lite Iron acts as a tonic while '.he Quinine drives the
malaria out of the svstcm. "Any reliable druggist will tell you that
Grove's 1$ the Original and that all other so-called Tasteless
Chill Tonics arc imitations. An analysis of other chill tonics shows
that Grove's is superior to all others in every respect. You
arc -not experimenting when ou take Grove' its superiority
and excellence having long ca wubliskc4. Grore'i it the
only Chill Cute old throughout tbe caura ltriaj lottiow ol
the Uniu4 Statci No Cuc, No fay. Price. c
Virginia caught the look of her face,
and for the first time in the life of the
rich girl the thought of what Jesus was
to a sinful woman came with a sudden
ness and power that were like nothing
but a new birth. Virginia left the or
gan, went to her, looked into her face
and caught her hands in her own. The
other girl trembled, then fell on her
knees, sobbing, with her head down
I upon the back of the bench in front of
; her. still clinging to Virginia. And Vir
ginia, after a moment's hesitation,
kneeled dpwn by her, and the two
i heads were bowed close together.
I But when the people bad crowded in
a double row all about the platform,
most of them kneeling and crying, a
man in evening dress, different from
the others, pushed through the seats
tnd came and kneeled down by the side
of the drunken man who had disturbed
the meeting when Henry Maxwell
spoke. He kneeled within a few feet of
Rachel Winslow, who was etill singing
softly, and as she turned for a moment
and looked in his direction she was
amazed to see the face of Rollin Paget
For a moment her voice faltered. Then
she went on
"Just at I am thou wilt receive,
' Wtlt welcome pardon, cleanse, relieve.
Because thy promise 1 believe,
0 Lamb of God, I come, I comet"
The voice was as the voice of divine
longing, and the Rectangle, for the
time being, was swept into the harbor
A redemptive graca
CHAPTER V
U any man aerve me, tet him follow me.
It was nearly midnight before the
jervice at the Rectangle closed Gray
itaid np long into Sunday moruiug
praying and talking with a littla group
of converts that, in the great experi
ence of their new life, clung to the
evangelist with a personal helplessness
that made it as impossible for him to
leave them as if they had been depend
ing upon him to save them from phys
ical death. Among these converts was
Rollin Page.
Virginia and her uncle had gone'
home about 1 1 o'clock, and Rachel and
Jasper Chase had gone with them as
far as tho avenue where Virginia lived.
Dr. West had walked on a little way
with thorn his own house, and Rachel
and Jasper had then gone on together
to her mother's.
That was a little after 11. It was
now striking " midnight, and Jasper
Chase sat in his room staring at the pa
pers on his desk and gojngover the last
half hour with painful persistence.
He had told Rachel Winslow of his
love for her, and she had not given her
love in return..
It would be difficult to know what
was most powerful in tho impulse that
had moved him to speak to her tonight.
He had yielded to his feelings without
any special thought of results to him
self because be had felt so certain that
Rachol would respond to his love for
her. He tried to recall now just the im
pression she made cn him when he first
spoke to her.
Never had her beauty and her strength
influenced him as tonight. While she
was singing he saw and heard no one
else. The tent' swarmed with a confused
crowd of faces, and he knew ha waa
sitting there hemmed in by a mob of
people, but they had no meaning to
him. He felt powerless to avoid speak
ing to her. He knew he should speak
when they were once alone.
Now that he had spoken he felt that
he had misjudged either Rachel or the
opportunity. He knew, or thought he
did, that she had begun to care for him.
It was no secret between them that the
heroine of Jasper's first novel had been
his own ideal of Rachel, and the hero
of the story was himself, and they had
loved each other in the book, and
Rachel had not objected. No one else
knew. The names and characters had
been drawn with a subtle skill that re
vealed to Rachel, when she receivd a
copy of the book from Jasper, the) fact
of his love for her, and she had not been
offended. That was nearly a year ago.
Tonight Jasper Chase recalled the
scene between them, with every inflec
tion and movement unerased from his
memory. He even recalled the fact that
he began to speak just at that point on
the avenue where a few days before he
had met Rachol walking with Rollin
Page. He had wondered at the time
what Rollin was saying.
