MARKBAM, Q. P. A., Portland, Or H HIS STEPS, "What Would Jesus Do?" By OHARLES li. SHELDOH. Oopyrig?-'d and published In book form by the Ac ance Publishing Co. of Chicago. "Yotj know what I have come in this rvening for?" the bishop was saying sfter the friends had been talking some time abont the results of the pledge with Nazareth Avenue peopla Dr. Bruce looked over at the bishop and shook his head. j "I have come to confess," went on the bishep, "that I have not yet kept my promise to walk in his steps in the I way that I believe I shall be obliged to j if I eatisfy my thought of what it j means to walk in his steps." Dr. Bruce had risen and was pacing I his study. ' The bishop remained in the Jeep easy chair, with his hands clasped, but his eye burned with th'e glow that always belonged to him before he made mine great resolve. "Edward" Dr. Bruce spoke abrupt ly "I have not yet been able to satisfy mjself, either, in obeying my promise, but I have at last decided on my course. In order to follow it, I shall be obliged to resign from Nazareth Avenue church." "I knew you would," replied the bishop quietly, "and I came in this evening to say that I shall be obliged to do thd same with my charge. " Dr. Bruce turned and walked up to his friend. They were both laboring under repressed excitement. "Is it necessary in your case?" asked Bruce. "Yes. Let me state my reasons. Probably they are the same as yours. In fact, I am sure they are." The bishop paused a moment, then went on with increasing feeling: "Calvin, you know how many years I have been doing the work of my posi tion, and you know something of the responsibility and the care of it I do not mean to say that my life has been free from burden bearing or sorrow, but I have certainly led what the poor and desperate of this sinful city would call a very comfortable yes, a very luxurious life. I have a beautiful house to live in, the most expensive food, clothing and physical pleasures. I have been able to go abroad at least a dozen times and have enjoyed for years the beautiful companionship of art and letters and music and all the rest of the very best. I have never known what it meant to be without money or its equivalent, and I have been unable to silence the question of late, 'What have I suffered for the sake of Christ?' Paul was told what great things he must suffer for the sake of his Lord. Max well's position at Raymond is well tak en when he insists that to walk in the steps of Christ means to suffer. Where has my suffering come in? The petty trials and annoyances of my clerical life are not worth mentioning as sorrows or suffering. Compared with Paul or any of the Christian martyrs or early disci ples, I have lived a luxurious, sinful life, full of ease and pleasure. I cannot endure this any longer. I have that within me which of late rises in over whelming condemnation of such a fol lowing of Jesus. I have not been walk ing in his steps. Under the present sys tem of church and social life I see no escape from this condemnation except to give the rest of my life personally to the actual physical and soul needs of the wretcliod people in the worst part of this city." The bishop had risen now and walked over to the window. The street in front of the house was as light as day, and he looked out at the crowds passing, then turned, and, with a passionate ut terance that showed how deep the vol canic fire in him burned, he exclaimed: "Calvin, this is a terrible city in which we live. Its misery, its sin, its selfishness, appall my heart, and I have struggled for years with the sickening dread of the time when I should be forced to leave the pleasant luxury of my official position to put my life into contact with the modern paganism of this century. The awful condition of the girls in the great department stores, the brutal selfishness of the insolent so ciety, fashion and wealth that ignores all the sorrows of the city, the fearful curse of the drink and gambling hell, tho wail of the unemployed, the hatred of tho church by countless men who sea in the church only great piles of costly stone aud upholstered furniture and the minister as a luxurious idler, all the vast tumult of this vast torrent of hu manity with its false and its true ideas, its exaggeration of evils in the church and its bitterness aud shame that are the result of many complex causes all this as a total fact, in its contrast with the easy, comfortable lifo I have lived, fills me more and more with a sense of mingled terror and self accusation. I have heard the words of Jesus ninny times lately, 'Inasmuch as ye did it not unto one of these least, my brethren, . ye did it not to me. ' And when have I personally visited the prisoner or the desperate or the sinful in any way that has actually caused mo suffering? Rather I have followed the conven tional, soft habits of my position and have lived in the society of the rich, refined, aristocratic members of my con gregations. Where has tho suffering come in? What haw I suffered for Jesus' futfcvjf Do yon know, Calvin" the bishop turned abruptly toward his friend "I have been tempted of late to lash myself with a scourge. If I had lived in Martin Luther's tinie, I would have bared my back to a self inflicted torture." Dr. Bruce was very pale. Never had he seen tho bishop or heard him when under the influence of such a passion. There was a nuMen Bileuce in the room. The bishop had sat down again and bowed his head. Dr. Bruce spoke at last : "Edward, I do not need to say that you have expressed my feelings aleo. , I have been in a similar position for years. My life has been one of compar ative luxury. I do not, of course, mean to say that I have not hard trials and discouragements and burdens in my church ministry, but I cannot say that I have suffered any for Jesus. That verse in Peter haunts me, 'Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an exam ple that ye should follow his steps. ' I have lived in luxury. I do not know what it means to want I also have had my leisure for travel and beautiful com panionship. I have been surrounded by soft, easy comforts of civilization. The sin and misery of this great city have beat like waves against the stone walls of my church and of this house in which I live, and I have hardly heeded them, the walls have been so thick. I have reached a point where I cannot endure this any longer. I am not con demning the church. I love her. I am not forsaking the church. I believe in her mission and have no desire to de stroy. Least of all, in the step I am about to take, do I 'desire to be charged with abandoning the Christian fellow ship, but I feel I must resign my place as pastor of Nazareth Avenue church in order to satisfy myself that I am walking as I ought to walk in his steps. In this action I judge no other minis ters and pass no criticism on others' discipleship, but I feel as you do. ' Into t closer contact with the sin and shame l lid degradation of this great city I must come personally, and I know that to do that I must sever my immediate connection with Nazareth Avenue church. I do not see any other way for myself to suffer for his sake as I feel that I ought to suffer." Again that sudden silence fell over these two men. It was no ordinary ac tion they were deciding. They had both reached the same conclusion by the same reasoning, and they were too thoughtful, too well accustomed to the measuring of conduct, to underestimate the seriousness of their position. "What is your plan ?" The bishop at last spoke gently, looking up with his wnile that always beautified his face. The bishop's face grew in glory now livery day. "My plan," replied Dr. Bruce slowly,, "is, in brief, the putting of myself into the center of the greatest human need I can find in this city and living thera My wife is fully in accord with me. We have already decided to find a resi dence in that part of the city where we can make our personal lives count for the most. " "Let mo suggest a place. " The bishop was on fire now. His fine face actually glowed with the enthusiasm of the movement in which he and his friend were inevitably embarked. He went on and unfolded a plan of such farreaching power and possibility that Dr. Bruce, capable and experienced as he was, felt amazed at the vision a greater soul than his own. They sat up late and were as eager nnd even glad as if they were planning for a trip together to some rare land of unexplored travel. Indeed the bishop said many times afterward that the moment his decision was reached to live tne lire of personal sacrifice he had chosen he suddenly felt an uplifting, as if a great burden was taken from him. He was exultant. So was Dr. Bruce from the same cause. Their plan as it finally grew into a workable fact was in reality nothing more than the renting of a large build ing formerly used as a warehouse for; a brewery, reconstructing it and living in it themselves in the very heart of a territory where the saloon ruled with power, where the tenement was its filthiest, where vice and ignorance and shame and poverty were congested into hideous forma It was not a new idea. It was an idea started by Jesus Christ when he left his Father's house and for sook the riches that were his in order to get nearer humanity and, by becom ing a part of its sin, help to draw hu manity apart from its sin. The univer sity settlement idea is not modern. It is as old as Bethlehem and Nazareth, and in this particular case it was the near est approach to anything that would satisfy the hunger of these two men to suffer for Christ. There had sprung up in them at the same time a longing that amounted to a passion to get nearer the great physical poverty and spiritual destitution of the mighty city that throbbed around them. How could they do this except as they became a part of it, as nearly as one man can become a part of another's misery ? Where was the suffering to come in unless there was an actual self denial of some sort ? And what was to make that self denial apparent to themselves or any one else unless it took this concrete, actual, per sonal form oi 'rying to share the deep est suffering and sin of the city ? So they reasoned for themselves, not judging others. They were simply keep ing their own pledge to do as Jesus would do, as thry honestly judged he would do. That was what they had promised. How could they quarrel with ie result? They were irresistibly com ed to rfy what they were planning 'j do. The bishop had money of his own. Every one in Chicago knew that the t.i hop had a handsome fortuna Dr Bruce had acquired and saved by liter ary work curried ou in connection with his parish duties more than a comforta ble coiupetenca This money, a large part of it, the two friends agreed to put at once into the work, most of it into the furnishing of a settlement house. Meanwhile Nazareth Avenue church was experiencing something never known before in all its history. The siuii.'.e appeal on the part of its pustor to bin members to do as Jesus would do had created a st-nsation that still con tinued. The result of that appeal was very much the same as in Henry Max well's church in Raymond, only Naza reth Avenue church was far more aris tocratic, wealthy and conventional Epilepsy I hi i 'i 1 1 ' j ill wi'BU ' . nay? mu.'J.'m weakens the body and de grades the mind. It raps the nervous strength that is the source of all health, and perverts the functions of every organ. Because of its stubborn nature, it is often called incurable. This is not true. There is one medicine that never fails to check the nervous spasms and give new strength to the entire system. "My little girl had epilepsy so bad that in one day she suffered seventy one fits.

Nevertheless when one Sunday morn ing in early summer Dr. Brnce came into his pulpit and announced his resig nation the sensation deepened all over the city, although Dr. Bruce had ad vised with his board of trustees, and the movement he intended was not a mat ter of surprise to them. But when it became publicly known that the bishop also had announced his retirement from the position he hacM held so long in order to go and live himself in the center of the worst part of Chicago the public astonishment reached its height "But. why," the bishop replied to one valued friend who had almost with tears tried to dissuade him from his purpose "why should what Dr. Bruce and I propose to do seem so remarkable a thing, as if it were unheard of that a doctor of .divinity and a bishop should want to save souls in this par ticular manner. If we were to resign our charges for the purpose of going to' Bombay or Hsngkong or any place in Africa, the churches and the people would exclaim at the heroism of mis- I sions. Way should it seem so great a thing if we have been led to give our lives to help rescue the heathen and the lost of our own city in the way we are going to try? Is it, then, such a tre mendous event that two Christian min isters should be not only willing but eager to live close to the misery of the world in order to know it and realize it ? Is it such a rare thing that love of humanity should find this particular form of expression in the rescue of toulst" However the bishop may have satis fied himself that there ought to be noth ing so remarkable about it all, the pub lio continued to talk and the churches to record their astonishment that two such men, so prominent in the ministry, should leave their comfortable homes, voluntarily resign their pleasant social positions and enter upon a life of hard ship, of self denial and actual suffering. ' Chirstian America I Is it a reproach i upon the form of our discipleship that the exhibition of actual suffering for Jesus on the part of those who walk in his steps always provokes astonishment, I as at the sight of something very un- I usual? I Nazareth Avenue church parted from ' its pastor with regret for the most part, ! although the regret was modified by j some relief on the part of those who had refused to take the pledge. Dr. Bruce ! carried with him the respect of men ! who, entangled in business in such a way that oblience to the pledge would have ruined them, still held in their j deeper, better natures a genuine admira- ' tion for courage and consistency. They had known Dr. Bruce many years as a kindly, safe man, but the thought of him in the light of sacrifice of this sort was not familiar to them. As fast as they understood it they gave their pas tor the credit of being absolutely true to his recent convictions as to what fol lowing Jesus meant. Nazareth Avenue church has never lost the impulse of that movement started by Dr. Bruce. Those who went with him in making the promise breathed into the church the very breath of divine life and are continuing that life giving work at the present time. It was fall again, and the city faced another hard winter. The bishop one afternoon came out of the settlement and walked around the block, intending to go on a visit to one of his new friends in the district He had walked about four blocks when he was attracted by a shop that looked different from the oth ers. The neighborhood was still quite new to the bishop, and every day he ' discovered some strange spot or stum bled upon some unexpected humanity. The place that attracted his notice was a small house close by a Chinese laundry. There were two windows in the front, very clean, and that was re markable, to begin with. Then inside i the window wuj a tempting display of I cookery, with prices attached to the ! various articles, that made the bishop : wonder somewhat, for he was familiar by this time with many facte in the life of the people once unknown to him.
