"What Would Jesus Do?V
By CHARLES U. BHELD05.

"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." Surely his prayer would be an
wered and the kingdom h, rYnwrt

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

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. "

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

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.

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

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

reach some of these young men anu
