"What Would Jesus Do?" Bj 0HABLE3 M. BHELDOH. lOoPTrtgA end published la book form by the Ac snoe Publishing Co. of Chicago. Bollin came back ana eat aown, ana together the three discussed their future plans. Bollin was apparently entirely free from embarrassment in Rachel's presence while Virginia was with them ; only his manner with her waa almost precise, if not cold. The past seemed to be entirely absorbed in his wonderful conversion. He had not forgotten it, bat he seemed to be completely caught up for this present time in the purpose of this new life." ' After awhile Rollin was called out, and Rachel and Virginia began to talk of other things. . ' - "By the way, what has become of Jasper Chase?" Virginia asked the question inno cently enough, but Rachel blushed, and Virginia added, with a smile: "I sup pose he is witing another book. Is he going to put you into this one, Rachel? You know I alwavs susoected Jasper Chase of doing that very thing la his first story." ' . "Virginia" Rachel spoke with the frankness that had always existed be tween the two friends "Jasper Chase told me the other night that he la fact he proposed to me or he would if" Rachel stopped and sat with her hands clasped on her lap, and there were tears in her eyes. "Virginia. I tbonirht a little while .... . 1. 1 i . v ago mat l lovea mm. urn ue rxuu ua loved me, but when he spoke my heart felt repelled, and I said what I ought ' to have said. I told him no. I have not seem him since. That waa the night of the first conversions at the Rectangle.." "I am glad for you." said Virginia Quietly. "Why?" asked Rachel a little star tled "Because I havs never really liked Jasper Chase. Be is too cold and I do not like to judge him, but I have al ways distrusted his sincerity In taking the pledge at the church with the rest " Rachel looked at Virginia thought fully. "I have never given my heart to aim, I am sur He touched my emotions, and I admired his skill as a writer. I have thought at tiiuta that I eared a good deal for him 1 VrVr whupn If he had spokeo U ik ' Li C'.I . Vrt again tnere were tears oh DertaCe. vir-, ginia came 'to her and put her, arm about her tenderly. When Rachel had left the house, Vir ginia sat in the hall thinking over the confidence her friend had just shown her There was something still to be told. Virginia felt sure from Rachel's manner, but she did not feel hurt that Rachel had kept back something. She was simply conscious of more on Ra chel's mind than she had revealed. Very soon Rollin came back, and he and Virginia, arm in arm, as they "had lately been in the habit of doing, walked op and down the long halL It was easy for their talk to settle finally upon Rachel because of the place he was to occupy in the plans which were being made ror tne purcnaseoi the property at the Rectangla Did you ever know a girl pf such really gifted powers in vocal musio who was willing to give" her whole life to the people, as Rachel is going to do? She is going to give music lessons in be city, have private pupils to make Jer living and then give the people in the Rectangle the benefit of her culture and her voice. " 'It is certainly a very good example of self sacrifice. " replied Rollin, a little stiffly Virginia looked at him a little sharply "But don't you think it is a very unusual example? Can you imagine' here Virginia named half a dozen fa mous opera singers "doing anything of this sort t" ."Koi I can't,' . Rollin answered briefly "Neither can I imagine Miss" he spoke the name of the girl with the red parasol who had begged Vir ginia to take the girls to the Rectangle "doing what you are doing. Vir ginia." "Any more than I can imagine Mr. ' Virginia spoke the name of a young wciety leader "going about to the clubs doing your work, Rollin." The two walked on in silence for the length of the hall "Coming back to Rachel," began Virginia, "Rollin, why do you treat her with such a distant, precise man ner? I think, Rollin pardon me if I hurt you that she is annoyed by it You used to be on easy terms. I don t think Rachel likes this change. " Rollin suddenly stopped. He seemed leeply agitttted. He took his arm from Virginia s and walked down to the end of the hall Then he returned, with his inns behind him, and. stopping near his sister, he said: "Virginia, have you not learned my iscrett" Virginia looked bewildered. Then ever her face the unusual color crept, bowing that she understood. "I have never loved any one but Ra the! Wlnslow." Bollin spoke calmly MMUgh cow. "That day aha was hers. when vou talked about her refusal to loin the concert oompany. I asked her Id hs taT wife, cot thery 00 th avspufl. Bhe refused me, as T Knew sne Wouia. and she gave as her reason the fact that I had no purpose in . life, which was true enough. . Now that I have a pur; pose, now that I am a new man, don't fou see. Virginia, how impossible iU is for me to say anything? I owe my very conversion to Rachel's singing, and yet that night while she sang I can honest ly say that for the time being I never thought of her voice except as God s message. I believe all my personal love tor her was for the time merged into a personal love to God and my Saviour. Rollin was silent. Then he went on with more emotion. "I am still in love with her. Virginia, but 1 do not think the could ever love ma " He stopped and looked bis sister in the face with a sad smile ' " ' ' "I don't know about that, " said Vir ginia to herself. She was noting Rol lin'a handsome face, its marks of dissi- fiation . tfearly all gone now, the firm lps showing manhood and courage, the clear eyes looking into hers frankly, the form strong and graceful Rollin was a man now Why should not Rachel Loome to love him in time? Surely the two were well fitted for each other, especially now that their purpose in life was moved by the same Christian source. She said something of all this to Rol lin, but he did not find much comfort When they closed the interview, Vir ginia carried away the impression that Rollin meant to go his way with his chosen work, trying to reach the fash ionable men at the clubs and, while not ivoiding Rachel seeking no occasion for meeting her He was distrustful of bis power to control his feelings, and Virginia could see that he dreaded even the thought that his love was still the sma. The next day she went down to The lews office to see Edward Norman and arrange the details of her part in the establishment of the paper on its new , foundation. Henry Maxwell was pre ent at this conference, snd the three agreed that, whatever Jesus would do in detail as editor of a daily paper, he would be guided by the same general principles that directed his conduct as the Saviour of the world. "I have tried to put down here in concrete form some of the things which it has seemed to me Jesus would do," said Edward Norman. He read from oarer bins' on his desk, and Henry Maxwell was reminded again of bis effort to put into written form his own conception of Jesus' probable action and also of Milton Wright's attempt in bis business. . "I havs headed this. "What Would Jesus Do as Edward Norman,' Editor of a Daily Newspaper In Raymond.' "1. Hs would never allow a senteswe or a picture in his paper that could be called bad or coarse or impure to any way. "3. He would probably conduct the poUtiosl part of the paper from the staodsMBt of peoiwnmp .ratrtorjm- always loosing' upon au ponracHi qutm tionsinthe light of their relations to' the welfare of the people, always on the basis of 'What is right ?' never from the basis of 'What is for the best Inter eats of this or that party?' In othei words, he would treat every political subject from the standpoint of the ad vancement of the kingdom of God on the earth " ' Edward Norman looked up from the reading for a moment You under stand that is my interpretation of Jesus probable action on political matters on other newspaper men who may have a different conception of Jesus' probable action from 'mine I am simply trying to answer honestly, 'What would Jesus do as Edward Norman?' and the answer I find i what I have put down." "8. The end and aim of a daily pa per conducted by Jesus would be to do the will of God. That Is, his main pur pose In carrying on a newspaper would not be to make money or gain political influence, but his first and ruling pur pose should be so to conduct his paper that it. would be evident to all his sub scribers that he was trying to seek first the kingdom of God by means of his paper. This purpose would be as dis tinct and unquestioned as the purpose of a minister or a missionary or any other unselfish martyr in Christian work anywhere "4. All questionable advertisements would be Impossible. "S. The relation of Jesus to the em ployees on the paper would be, of the most loving character. " "So far as I have gone,-" said Nor man, again looking up, "I am of the opinion that Jesus would employ prac tically some form of co-operation that would represent the Idea of mutual in terest in a business where all were to move together for the same great end. I am working out such a plan, and I am confident it will be snccesHfuL At any rate, once introduce the element of per sonal love into a business like this, take out the selfish principle of doing it for the sake of pergonal profits to a man or company, and I do not see any way ex cept the most loving personal interest between editor, reporters, pressmen and all who contributed anything to the life of the paper, and that interest would be expressed not only In the per sonal love and sytnputhy, but in a shar ing with the profits of the business. "8. As editor of a daily paper today Jesus would give large space to the work of the Christian world. He would devote a page possibly to the facts of reform, of sociological problems, of In stitutional church work and similar movements "7. He would do all in his power in his paper to fight the saloon as an enemy of the human rsoe aud an unnecessary next of our proton! civilization. He would do this regardless of public sen timent la the matter and. of course, al ways regardless of its effect on bis sub scription list " Agsfa Edward Xormaat looked op. I etas say fenest coovvcij cp.thia point Of course X do not pass judgment on the Christian men who are editing other kinds of papers today, bnt as I interpret Jesus I believe he would use the influence of his paper to remove the saloon entirely from the political and social life of the natioa "& Jesus would not issue a Sunday edition. . "9. He would print the news of the world, that people ought to know. Among the things that they do not need to know and which would not be pub lished would be brutal prizefights, long accounts of crimes, scandals in private families or any other human events which in any way would conflict with the first point , mentioned in this out line "10 If Jesns bud the amount of money to use nn n pnper which we have, he would probably net-are the best and strongest Christian men and women to co-operate with hiui in the matter of contributor ' That will, be my pur pose, as I shall bp able to show you in a few days - "1 1 Whatever the details of the pa per might nennMio; as the paper de veloped along itH definite plan, the main principle that guided it would always be the eHtivliliHhnieiit or the kingdom of God in the world This large general orinciDle won Id uivtwarilv shaDe all the details. Edward Norman finished reading his plan. He was Very thonghtfuL "1 have merely sketched a very faint outline I have a hundred ideas for making the paper powerful that I have not yet thought out fully. This Is sim ply suggestive I have talked it over with other newspaper mea Some of them say 1 will have a weak, namby pamby Sunday school sheet If I get out something as good as a Sunday school it will be pretty good. Why do men when they want to characterize something a particularly feeble always Use a Sunday school as a comparison When thev oueht to know that the Sun day school la 006,0! the strongest, most powerful infraencea in our civilization in this country today. But the paper will not necessarily be weak' because it la good. Good things are more pow erful than bad. The question with me is largely one of support from the Chris tian people of Raymond. There are over 30,000 church members here in the city. If half of them will stand by The News, its life u assured. What do yon think, Maxwell is the probability of inch suvKct" To b continued.
