"What Would Jesus Do?"

"Tell Clrua to go out," exclaimed
-Mrs. Sterling as Felicia came tip to the
bed nnd kneeled by it.
Felicia was surprised, but Bhe did as
her mother bade her and thon inquired
how she was teeling.
"Felicia," said her mother, "can
yon pray?'
The question was so unlike any her
mother had ever asked before that Fe
licia was startled, but she answered:
my, yes, motner. wtiat makes
tou ask six'h a question?"
"Felicia. I am frightened. Your fa
ther J have had such strange fears
abort Imji all day. Something is wrong
with hiui. I want yon to pray."
"Now? n.TC, mother?"
"Yes. Pmy, Felicia."
Felicia reached out her hand and took
her mot her 'a It was trembling. Mra
Stcrlin.r had never shown much tender
ness for her younger daughter, and her
strange demand now was the first real
sign of any confidence in Felicia'a
character.
The girl still kneeled, holding her
mother's trembling hand, and prayed.
It was doubtful if she had ever prayed
aloud before. She must have said in
her prayer the words that her mother
needed, for when it was silent in the
room the invalid was weeping softly,
nnd her nervous tension was over.
Felicia staid some time. When she
was assured that her mother would not
need her any longer, she rose to go.
"Good night, mother. Yon must lot
Clara call 1110 if you feel bad in the
night. "
'.'I feel bitter now." Then as Folicia
was moving away Mrs. Sterling said,
"Won't you kiss me, Felicia?"
Felicia went back and bent over her
mother. The kiss was almost as strange
to her as the prayer had been. When
Felicia went out of the room, her cheeks
were wet with tears. She had not cried
since sho was a little girl
Sunday morning at the Sterling man
sion was generally very quiet. The girls
usually went to church at 11 o'clock
service. Mr. Sterling was not a mem
ber, but a heavy contributor, and ha
generally went to church in the moni
ing. This tiirie he did not come down
to breakfast and finally sent word by a
servant that he did not feel well enough
to go out So Rose and Felicia drove
up to the door of the Nazareth Avenue
church and entered the family pew
alone.
When Dr. Bruce walked out of the
room at the rear of the platform and
went up to the pulpit to open the Bible,
fts his custom was, those who knew
him best did not detect anything un
usual in his manner or his expression.
He proceeded with the service as usual.
He was calm, and his vqiee was steady
nnd firm. His prayer was the first inti
mation the people had of anything new
or strange in the service. It is safe to
flay that the Nazareth Avenue church
had not heard Di Bruce offer srtch a
prayer during the 13 years ho had been
pastor there. How would a minister be .
likely to pray who had come out of a
revolution in Curie tian feeling that had
completely changed his definition of
what was meant by following Jesus?
No ono in Nazareth Avenue church had
any idea that the Rev. Calvin Bruce,
D. D., the dignified, cultured, refined
doctor of divinity, had within a few
days been crying liko a little child, on
his knees, asking for strength nnd cour
age and t'hvistlikeness to speak his Sun
day message, and yet the prayer was an
nnccmseions, involuntary disclosure of
the soul's experience such as Nazareth
Avenue people seldom heard and never
before from that pulpit.
In the hush that succeeded the prayer
a distinct wavo of spiritual power
moved owrtlio congregation. The most
careless prrsons in the church felt it
Felicia, whoso sensitive religious naturo
responded swiftly to every touch , of
emotion, quivered under the passing of
that supernatural power, and when she
lifted her head aud looked up at the
minister there was a look in her eyes
that announced her iutenso, eager an
ticipation of the scene that was to fol
low. And 'she was not alone inherntti-i
tudo. There was something in the j
rrayer and tho result of it that stirred !
many and many a disciple in Nazareth
Avenucliurch. All over tho house men ,
and women leaned forward, and when '
Dr. Brrtee began to speak of his visit to !
Raymond in the opening sentences of
his address, which this morning pre- j
ceded his si r::ion, there was an answer- '
ing resj.oii-e in the church that came
back to him as ho spoke nnd thrilled
him with the hope of a spiritual bap
tism such as he had never during all ,
'lis ministry experienced. '
"I am .lust lack from a visit to Kay- j
tnoud. " 1H' Truce began, "and I want
to tell you something of my impressions
of the movr:ient there "
lie paused, and his look went over
his people with yearning for them and
t the fame t;'ne with a great uncer
tainty at his heart How many of his
rich, fashionable, refined, luxury lovimt
no many lives. Henry Maxwell had at
last decided that the time had come to
! (:: tho fellowship of ether churches
throughout the country. The new di.
eipleship in Raymond had proved to be
so valuable in its results that Henry
Maxwell wished the church in general
to share with fhe disciples in Ray
mond Already there had begun a vol
unteer movement in many of the
churches throughout the country, act
ing on their own desire to .walk closer
in the steps of Jesus. The Christian
Endeavor societies had with enthusiasm
la many churches taken the pledge to
Co as Jesns would do, and the result
was already marked in a deeper spir-
1 imai lite and a power in oinrcb influ-
i.nce that was like a new birth for the
; members. '
All this Dr. Pruce told his people
j (imply and with a personal interest that
j evidently led the way to his announce
i ment, which now followed. Felicia had
listened to every word with strained
attention, tfhe sat there by the side of
Rose, in contrast like fire beside snow,
althou'jh even Rose was as alert and
i excited as she could be
"Dear friends," ho said, and for the ;
first titno since his prayer the emotion
of tho occasion was revealed in his !
; voice and gesture. "Iam going to ask !
; t!it Naz.ireth Avenue qhnreh take the 1
j same pledge that Raymond church has ;
taken. I know what this will mean to :
j you and me. It will mean the complete
charge of very many habits. It will
mei.n pccO.'y social loss. It will mean
very probably in many cases loss of
cy It will mean suffering. It will
mean what following Jesus meant in
the first century, and then it meant
suffering, Moss, hardship, separation
f.-om every thing un -Christian. But
what does following Jesus mean ? The
test of discipleship is the same now as
then. Those of yon who volunteer in
the Nazareth Avenue church to do as
Jesus would do simply promise to walk
in his steps, as he gave ns command
ment. "
Again Rev. Calvin Bruce, pastor of
LsTazareth Avenue church, paused, and
now the result of his announcement
was plainly visible in the stir that went
over the congregation. He added in a
quiet voice that all who volunteered to
make the pledge to do ns Jesus would
do were asked to remain after tho
inormng service.
Instantly he proceeded with his ser
mon. His text was from Matthew viii,
!0, "Master, I will follow thee whither
soever thou goest. "
It was a sermon that touched the
Seep springs of conduct. It was a rev
elation to the people of the definition
their pastor hud been learning It took
them back to the first century of Chris
tianity. Above all it stirred them be
low the conventional thought of years
is to tho meaning and purpose of church
membership. It was such a sermon as a
ttian can preach once in a lifetime and
with enough in it for people to live on
ill through a lifetime
Tho service closed in a hush that was
slowly broken. People rose here and
thero a few at a time There was a re
luctance in the movements of the poo
tlo that was very -striking ;
! Rose, hciwover, walked straight out
tho pew. nnd as 'she reached the aisle
me turned her head and beckoned to
Felicia. By that time the congregation
ivcs rising all ovt the church.
Felicia instantly answered her sis
icr's look.
"I'm going to Btay, " sho said, nnd
lieso had heard her speak in the same
manner on other occasions and knew
that Felicia's resolve could not be
hanged. Nevertheless she went back
into the pow two or three steps and
faced her - l
'"Felicia." she whispered, and there
was a fin: h of anger on hor cheeks,
"this is folly What can you do? Yon
will bring disgrace upon tho family
What will father say? Come."
Folicia looked at her, but did not an-
:J..eii.i once i.:er lips were niovinar
ivilh a petition that came from a depth
)f feeling that measured a new life for
icr i-'hu shook her head.
"No; I am going to stay. I shall
Sake the pledge. I am ready to obey it
Ycu do not know why I urn doing
:his. "
Rose gave her ono look nnd then
turned and went out of the pew and
3own tho aisle. She did not even stop
to talk with her acquaintances, Mrs.
Delano was going out of the church
inst as Rose stepped into the vestibule.
"So yon are not going to join the
factor's volunteer company?" Mrs. De
lano asked iu a queer tone that made
Rose redden.
"No. Are you? It is simply asbnrd.
I havo always regarded the Raymond
movement ns fanatical. You know
Cousin Rachel keeps us posted about it. "
"Yes; I understand it is resulting in
t great deal of hardship in many cases.
For my part, I believe Dr. Bruce has
(imply provoked a disturbance here. It
si-ill result in splitting Nazareth Avenue
mnrch. Yon see if that isn't so. There
ire scores of people in the church who
ire so situated that they can't take such
i pledge and keep it. I nm one of
Uiom."dded Mrs. Delano as she went
ut with Rose.
When Rose reached homo, her father
tens standing in his usual nttitnda bo
lero the ope n fireplace, smoking a cigar.
"Where is Felicia?" he asked as Rose
:amo in alone.
"Sho staid to an after meeting," re
plied Roso shortly. She threw off her
wraps and was going up stairs when
Mr, Sterling called after her:
"An after meeting? What do you
tneau?"
"Dr. Brnco asked the church to take
Iho Raymond pledge. "
Mr. Sterling took his cigar out of his" I
month and twirled it nervously be-
Iwoen his fingers. .
"I didn't expect that of Dr. Bruce
members would understand tho nature
of the a; p. id he was soon to make to
them? lie was altogether in tho dark
as io that Nevertheless he bad been
through his desert and had come out of
it ready to suffer lie went on now lift
er that brief pause and told the story j Du' an-y tl10 members stay?"
of his stay in Iviyuioud The people al j don't Know. I didn't," replied
ready knew swmethiiig of that experi ose' nmi 6ue W0I' np stairs, leaving
went in the First church. The whole or father standing in the drawing
country h;ul watched the progress of j foom-
rtie pledge a.) it had become history iu After a few minntes he went to the
window and stood there looking ont at
the people driving on the boulevard.
His cigar had gone out, but he still fin
gered it nervously. Then he turned
from the window and walked tip and
down the room. A servant stepped
across the hall and announced dinner,
and be told her to wait for Felicia.
Rose came down stairs and went into
the library, and still Mr. Sterling paced
the drawing room restlessly.
He had finally weard of the walking
apparently and, throwing himself into
a chair, was brooding over something
deeply when Felicia came in.
He rose and faced her. Felicia was
evidently very much moved by the
meeting from which she had just coma
At the same time she did not wish to
talk too much about it. Just as she en
tered the drawing room Rose came in
from the library.
"How many staid?" she asked. Rose
was curious. At the same she was skep
tical of the whole movement in Ray
mond. ! "About a hnndred, " replied Felicia
gravely Mr. Sterling looked surprised.
Felicia was going out of the room. He
; called to her.
I "Do yon really mean to keep the
pledge? he asked.
, Felicia colored. Over her face and
' neck tho warm blood flowed ns sho an
; swered. "You would not ask such a
: question, father, if you had been pres
ent at the meeting." She lingered a
moment in the room, then asked to be
1 excused from dinner for awhile and
went up to soe her mother.
( No one ever knew what that inter
' view between Felicia and her mother
' was. It is certain that she must have
told her mother something of the spir
itual power that had awed every pe.:on
present in the company of disciples fro-
! Nazareth Avenue church who faced Dr
I r, a, a , . n. . .
urnce in mat meeting alter tlie morn
I ing service. It is also certain that Fe
j licia had never known such an experi
ence and never would have thought of
sharing it with her mother if it had not
been for the prayer the evening before.
Another fact is also known of Felicia's
experience at this time. When she
finally joined her father and Rose at
the table, she seemed nnable to tell
them much about the meeting. There
was a reluctance to speak of it, as one
might hesitate to attempt a description
of a wonderful sunset to a person who
never talked about anything but the
weather. When that Sunday In the
Sterling mansion was drawing to a
closo and the soft, warm lights through
out the-dwelling were glowing through
the great windows, in a corner of her
room where the light was obscure Fe
licia kneeled, and when she raised her
face and turned it toward the light it
was the face of a woman whe had al
ready defined for herself the greatest
issues of earthly life
That same evening, after the Sunday
in service, tho Rev. Calvin Bruce,
D. D.,.of Nazareth Avenue cnurcn. was
talking over tho events of the day with
his wife They were of one heart and
mind in the matter and faced their new
future with all the faith and courage
of new disciples.' . Neither was deceived
as to the probable results of the pledge
to. themselves or to the church. '
They had been tnlking but a little
while when the bell rang, and Dr.
Bruce, going to the door, exclaimed ns
he opened it , "It is you. Edward!
Come iu I' , ,
There-came into the hall a command
ing ft.tro The bishop was of extraor-
diary hi-i-rht and breadth of 'shoulder,
but of such ro .'fl tr.rticrjH that there
was no 'thought of rcngaiuly or even of
unusual i::e The iir.wssi, n the bishop
made on fiv.w. .s was first that of
great health ttr.d 11:' m of ; r.wt affection.
He-came into C: parloi and greeted
Mrs, Bruce. w!n)ftr a few moments
was called ivt of the room, leaving the
two men together
The bishop sat in a dscp easy chair
before the open fire There was just
enough dampness in tho early spring of
tho year to uia-o an o-ien fire pleasant
"Calvin, you Lave taken a very seri
ous step today. " he finally said, lifting
-nis large dark eyes tolas old college
classmate' face "I heard of it this
afternoon 1 could not resist the desire
to see you about it tonight. '
"I'm glad you came. " Dr Bruce sat
near tho bishop an! laid a hand on his
shoulder. "You understand what this
means, Edward?"
"1 think I doyes; I am sure. " The
bishop spoke very slowly and thought
fully. Ho sat with his hands clasped to
gether. Over his face, marked with
lines of consecration and service and
the love of men, a shadow crept, a
shadow not caused by the firelight.
Again he lifted his eyes toward hts old
friend.
"Calvin, we have always understood
each other. Ever since our paths led us
in different ways in church life we have
walked together in Christian fellows
ship." "It is true," replied Dr. Bruce, with
an emotion ho made no attempt to con
ceal or subdue. "Thank God for it 1
prize your fellowship more than any
man's. I have always known what it
meant, though it has always been more
than I descry r
