BHELD05. fOopyrlgV! nd published In boolc form by & U no Publiahlug Co-.ol Chioago. . ... "I flon't know enongli tBbont it to give an intelligent answer. I believe in the paper with all my heart If it lives a year, as Miss Virginia saia, mere is no telling what it can da The great thing will be .to issue such a paper, as near as we can judge, as Jesus probably would and put into it all the elements of Christian brains, strength, intelli gence and sense and command respect by the absence of bigotry, of fanati cism, narrowness and anything else that is contrary to the spirit of Jesus. Such a paper will call for the best that hu man thought and action are capable of giving. The greatest minds in the world would have their powers taxed to the utmost to issue a Christian daily. " "Yes," Edward Norman spoke hum bly. "I shall make great mistakes, no ' doubt. I need a great deal of wisdom. But 1 want to do as Jesus would, What would he dot' I have asked it daily and shall continue to do so and abide by results. " "T think we are beginning to under- id Virginia, "the meanine of that command. 'Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord ana saviour Jesus Christ ' I am sure I do not know 11 t.hnt hn would do in detail until I know him better. " "That is very true," said Henry m.ttoaII "I am beeinnintr to under stand that I cannot interpret the prob Wn nrfinn nf Jesus until I know better what his spirit is. To my mind the greatest question n all of human life is summed up when we ask, 'What would Jesus dot' if as we ask it we also try to answer it from a growing knowledge of Jesus himself. We must know Jesus before we can imitate him. " When the arrangements had been made between Virginia and Edward Norman, he found himself in possession of the sum of $500,000. exclusively hta to use for the establishment of a Chris tian daily paper When Virginia and Henry Maxwell had gone, Norman closed his door and. alone with the Divine presence, asked like a child for help from his all powerful Father. All through hU prayer as he kneeled before his desk ran the promise, "If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all men liberally and up braideth not and it shall be, given him."

" O . - so largely , degraded to the base uses of man's avarice and ambition. TWn months went bv. Thev were full of action and results in the city of Ray mond and especially in tne Jfirst cnurcn. In spite of the approaching neat 01 tne summer season, the after meeting of the disciples who bad made the pledge to do as Jesus wbulcl do continued with enthusiasm and power. Gray had fin ished his work at the Rectangle, and an outward observer going through the place could not have seen any difference in the old conditions, although there was an actual change in hundreds of lives, but the saloons, dens, hovels, gambling . houses, still ran. overflowing their vile ness into the lives of fresh victims to taira t.hn nliipa of those rescued by the . evangelist, and the devil recruited his ranks very fast. Henry Maxwell did not go abroad. rnutpad of that he took the money he had been saving for the trip and quiet ly arranged a summer vacation ior a whnl familv livine down in the Rec tangle who had neveT gone outside of the foul district of the tenement J.ne pastor of the First cfiurch will never forget the week he spent with this fam ily making the arrangements. He went down into the Kectangie one not aay whfin something of the terrible heat or the tenements was beginning to be felt and helped the family to tne station and then went with them to a beautiful spot on the coast where, in the home of a Christian woman, these Dewuaerea city tenants breathed for the first time In years the cool salt air ana reit diow about them the pine scented fragrance of a new lease of Ufa There was a sickly baby with the mother three other children, one a cripple. The father, who had been out of work until he had beon, as he after ward confessed to Maxwell, several times on the verge of suicide, sat with the baby in his arms during the jour ney, and when Maxwell started back to Raymond after seeing the family set tled the man held his hand at parting choked with his utterance and finally broke down, to Maxwell's great confusion The mother, a wearieo. wornout woman, who had lost three children the year before from a fever scourge in the Rectangle, sat by the cur window all the way and drank in the delights of sea and sky and field. It was all a miracle to her, and Henry Maxwell, coming back into Raymond st t.iin end of that week, feeling the scorching, sickening heat all the more because of his little taste of the ocean breezes, thanked God for the joy he had witnessed and entered upon his disci pleship with a humble heart, knowing for almost the first time in his life this special kind of sacrifice, for never be ' fore had he denied himself his regular summer trip away from the neat or Raymond, whether he felt in any great need of rest or not "It ia a fact" he said in reply to sev eral inquiries on the part of his church. "I do not feel in need of a vacation this year". 1 am very well and prefer to stay 1 here. " It was with a feeling of relief that ,he succeeded in concealing from every one but Ms wife what he had done with tiiis other; family ; Hef ,'felt ... . . . . , , . . th npefl ,nr doing anymiuK 01 ,ui bwi without display or approval from others. 80 the summer came-., on, and Henry Maxwell grew into larger, knowledge of his Lord. The First church was .still , swayed by the power of 1 the- Spirit ; Maxwell marveled at the continuance : of his stay. He knew very well that ) from the beginning nothing but the Spirit's presence had kept the , church from being torn asunder by this re markable testing it had received of its discipleehip. . ; Even now there were imuiv of the members among those who had not taken the pledge who regarded the whole movement as Mrs. Winslow did, in the nature of a fanatical inter pretation of Christian duty, and looked for a return of the old normal condi tion. Meanwhile the whole body of dis ciples was under the influence of the Spirit, and Henry Maxwell went bia ,way that summer doing his parish work in great joy, keeping up his meetings with the railroad men, as he had prom ised Alexander Powers, and daily grow ing into a better knowledge of thi Master. Eiany one evening in August, after a day of refreshing coolness, following a long period of heat, JaBper Chase walk ed to the window of his room in the apartment house on the avenue and looked out . On his desk lay a pile of manuscript ' Since that evening when he had spoken to Rachel Winslow he had not met her. TTi nincmlarlv sensitive nature, sensi tive to the point of irritability when he was thwarted, seemed to thrust him into an isolation that was intensified 1 by his habits as an author. I All through the heat of the summer he had been writing. His book was nearly done now. He had thrown him self into its construction with a feverish strength that threatened at any moment to desert him and leave him helpless, j ' He had not forgotten his pledge with 1 the other church members at the First church. It had forced Itself upon his notice all through his writing and ever since Rachel had said no to him. He had asked a thousand times, "Would Jesus do this!" "Would he write this story ?" It was a society novel, written in a Btrl that had Droved popular. It had no purpose except to amuse. Ite moral teaching was not bad. but nei ther was it Christian in any positive way Jasper Chase knew that such a story would sea He was conscious of powers in his way that the social world petted and admired. What would Jesus do? The question oDtruaeaon mm nameiy, money' ana tame as a , writer There was no secret with him that he was writing this new story with that object. He was not poor and so had no temptation to write for money, but he was urged on by his desire for fame as much as anything. He must write this kind of matter. But what would Jesus do! The question plagued him even more than Rachel's refusal Was he going to break his promise! ; As he stood at the window Rollin ' Page came out of the clubhouse just op posite. Jasper noted his handsome face and noble figure as he started down the street He went back to his aesn ana turned over some papers there. ' Then he returned to the window. Rollin was walking down past the block, and Ra chel Winslow was walking beside him. Rollin must have overtaken her as she was coming from Virginia's that after noon . Jasper watched the two figures nntil they disappeared in the crowd on the walk. Then he turned to hia desk and Koirnn to write. When he had finished the last page of the last chapter of his book, it was nearly dark. What would Jesus do! He had finally answerea tne question by denying his Lord. It grew darker in Jasper's room. He had delib erately chosen hia course, urged on by his disappointment and loss. "But Jesus said unto him. No man, having put his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of heaven. " 1 a l- - .

Why, what nearly every writer wrote for-a CHAPTER VIIL Whit ti that to theef Follow thoa me. When Rollin started down the street that afternoon that Jasper stood looking out of his window, he was not thinking of Rachel Winslow and did not expect to see her anywhere. He had come sud donlv nnon her as she turned into the avenue, and his heart had leaped np at the sight of her He walked along by hor now reioicing. after all in a little moment or this earthly love he could not drive out of his Ufa "I have just been over to see Vlr; ginia, " said RucheL ."She tells me the arrangements are nearly completed for the transfer of the Rectangle property." I "Yes; it has been a tedious case in ' the conrta Did Virginia show you all the plans and specihcations ror nuiia Ings!" : Wa innlrpd over a good many. It is astonishing to uie where Virginia, ha managed to get a" ler ideas about this Work." "Virginia knows more now about Arnold Toynbee and east end London and institutional church work in Amer ica than a good many professional slum workers. She has been spending nearly all mmmer in gettinz information." Rollin was beginning to feel more at ease as they talked over this coming work for humanity It was safe com mon ground. "What have you been -doing all sum mer! I have not seen much of you,' 1 ace wannbu mw . - tropical color, as if she might have im plied too much interest in Rollin or too much regret at not seeing him oftener. 1 . I have been busy." replied Rollin briefly. " ' ...... "Tell me- something about it " per sisted Rachel '.'You say so little Have I a right to ask T' , -, She put the question very frankly, turning toward Rollin in reel interest ' "Yes, certainly," he replied, with a grateful smile. "I am not so certain that I can tell you much. " I have been trving to find some way to reach, the men I once knew und win them into more useful lives. " He stopped suddenly, as if uC57ere almost afraid to po on. Rachel did not venture to supct rnytmng. '- J"I have been a member of the same tompany to Which you und Virginia be long, continued Kciiin,' Beginning again. "I have made the' pledge to do as I believe Jesus would do, and it is In trying to answer this qnestion that I have been doing my work." "That is what 1 do not understand. Virginia told me about the other. , It seems wonderful to thinK that you are trving to keep that pledge with us. But what can you do with the clubmen!", "You have asked me a airect ques tion, and I shall have to answer It now," replied Rollin, smiling again. "You see, I asked myself after tnat tiio-ht at thn tent, von remember"-he spoke hurriedly, and his voice trembled a little "what purpose I could now have in my life to redeem it to satisfy thonirht of Christian discipleship, and the more I thought of it the more I was driven to a place where l Knew 1 must take up this cross. JJia you ever think that of all the neglected beings in our social system none are quite so completely left alone as the fast young men who fill the clubs and waste their time and money as I used to! The churches look after the poor, miserable creatures like those in the Rectangle, they make some effcrt to reach the workingmen, they have a large con- stituenqy among the average salary earning people, they send money and missionaries to the foreign neatnen, dui the fashionable, dissipated young men around town, the clubmen, are left out of all plans for reaching and Christian izing, and yet no class or people neeus It mom. I said to mvself i 'I know these men, their good and bad dualities. I . . . m - i .11., have been one or them. 1 am not niteu tn rnnrh the Rectangle neople. I do not know how. But I think I could possibly reach some of these young men anu boys who have money and time to spend.'
