IN HIS STEPS.
"What Would Jesus Do?"
2j CHAELES M. SHELDON.
Oopyrip'-'td ond published in book form bj
the A anoo Publishing Co. of Chicago.
The bishop rose from the table the
very figure of divine wrath. He had
opened his lips to Bay what seldom
came from him in the way of denuncia
tion when the bell rang and one of the
residents went to the door.
"Tell Dr. Bruce and the bishop I
want to see them. Penrose is the name
Clarence Penrose. Dr. Bruce knows
me."
ine family at the breakfast table
Y,n-rA mtmrm.A rruvii. i.
a significant look with Dr. Bruce, and
the two
i instantly left the table
and weii out into ihe hall.
"Come in here, Penrose," said Dr.
Bruce, and he and the bishop ushered
the visitor into the reception room.
Tliey closed the door and were alone.
Clarence Penrose was one of the most
elegant looking men in Chicago. He
came from an aristocratic family of
great wealth and social distinction. He
was exceedingly woalthy and had large
property holdings in different parts of
the city. He had been a member of Dr.
Brace's church all his life.
This man faced the bishop and his
former pastor with a look of agitation
on his countonance that showed plainly
the mark of some unusual experience.
He was very pale, and his lip trembled
as he spoke. When had Clarence Pen
rose ever before yielded to such a strange
emotion of feeling?
"This affair of the shooting you un
derstand. You have read it. The family
lived in one of my houses. It is a terri
ble event. But that is not the primary
cause of my visit." He stammered and
looked anxiously into the faces of ths
other two men. The bishop etill looked
stern. He could not help feeling that
this elegant man of leisure could have
done a great deal to alleviate the hor
rors in his tenements, possibly have pre
vented this tragedy, if he had sacrificed
some of his personal ease and luxury to
bettor the condition of the peoule in his
district.
Penrose turned to Dr. Bruce. ' j
"Doctor," he exclaimed, and there
was almost a child's terror in his voice,
1 came to sav that I havn hail on nr.
penence so unusual that nothing but
.the supernatural can explain it. You
remember I was one of those who took
the pledge to do as Jesus would do. I
thought at the time, poor fool that I
was, that I had all along beon doing the
Christian thing. I gave liberally out of
my abundance to the church and char
ity. I never gave myself to cost me any
suffering. I have been living in a per
fect hell of contradictions ever since I
took the pledge. My little girl, Diana,
you remember, also took the pledge,
with me. She has been asking me a
great many questions lately about the
poor people and where they lived. I was
Dbliged to answer her. Two of hor ques
tions last night touched my sore. Did 1
own any houses where those people
lived? Were they nice and warm like
ours? You know how a child will ask
quostions like these. I went to bed tor
mented with what I now know to be
the. divine arrows of conscience. I could
not sleep. I seemed to see the judgment
day. I was placed before the Judge. I
was asked to give account of my deeds
done in the body. How many sinful
souls had I visited in prison ? What had
I done with my stewardship? How
about those tenements where people
froze in winter and stifled in summer?
Did I give any thought to thorn, except
to receive the rentals from them?
Where did my suffering come in?
Would Jesus have done as I had done
Rnd was doing? Had I broken my
pledge? How had I used the money and
the culture and the social influence I
possessed? Had I used them to bless
humanity, to relieve the suffering, to
bring joy to the distressed and hope to
the desponding? I had received much.
How much had I given ?
"All this came to mo in a waking
vision as distinctly as I see yon two
men and myself now. I was unable to
see the end of the Vision. I had a con
fused picture in my mind of the suffer
ing Christ pointing a condemning Auger
at mo, and the rest was shut out by
mist and darkness. I have not had sleep
for 2-t hours. The first thing I saw this
morning was the account of the shoot
ing at the conlynrds. 1 road the account
with a feeling of horror I have not been
unit) io snaiiooit. i am a guilty creature
before Uod. "
IYnroso paused suddenly. The two
men looked at him wrtouinly. What
power of the Holy Spirit moved the
soul of this hitherto self satisfied, ele
gant, cultured man who belonged to
the social life that was accustomed to
go its way, placidly unmindful of the
great sorrows of a groat city and prac
tically ignorant of what it means to
suffer for Jesus' sake?
Into that room came a breath such as
before swept over Henry Maxwell's
church and through Nazareth Avenue,
and tlio bishop laid his hand on the
shoulder of Penrose and said: "My
brother, God has beon very near to yon.
Liet ns thank linn.
"Yes, yes," sobbed Penrose, lie sat
down on a chair and covered his face.
The bishop prayed. Then Penrose quiet
ly said, "Will yon go with mo to that
house?"
For answer both Dr. Bruce and the
bishop pnt on their overcoats and went
out with him to the home of the dead

of a new and strange life for Clarence
Penrose. From the moment ho stopped !
into that wretched hovel of a home and .
faced for the first time in his life a de-;
spair and suffering such as he had read
of, but did not know by personal con
tact, he dated a new life. It would be
another long story to tell how, in obedi
ence to his pledge, he began to do with
his tenement property as he knew Jesus
would do. What would Jesus do with
tenement property if he owned it in
Chicago or any othsr great city of the
world! Any man who can imagine any
true answer to this question can easily
tell what Clarence Penrose began to da
now, oeiore max winter reacneu na
bittor climax many things occurred in
the city that concerned the lives of all
the characters in this history of the dis
ciples who promised to walk in his steps..
it cnanced, by one of those remark
able coincidences that seem to occur
preternaturally, that one afternoon, just
as Felicia came out of the settlement
with a basket which she was going to
leave as a sample with a baker in the
Penrose district, Stephen Clyde opened
the door of the carpenter shop in the
basement and came out of the lower
door in time to meet Felicia as she
' : 'y, Jf0 ";aZ, 7,
I reached the sidewalk.
"Let me carry your basket, please,"
he said.
"Why do you say 'please?' " asked
Felicia, handing over the basket.
"I would like to eay something else, "
replied Stephen, glancing at her shyly
and yet with a boldness that frightened
him, for he had been loving Felicia
more every day since he first saw her,
and especially since she stepped into the
shop that day with the bishop, and for
weeks now they had been in many ways
thrown into each other's company.
"What else?" asked Felicia innocent
ly, falling into the trap.
"Why," said Stephen, turning his
fair, noble face full toward her and
eying her with the look -of one who
would have the best of all things in the
universe, "I would like to say, 'Let me
carry your basket, dear Felicia.' "
Felicia never looked
hsr life. She walked
so beautiful in
on a little way
without even turning her face toward
him. It was no secret with her own
heart that she had given it to Stephen
some time ago. Finally she turned and
said shyly, while her face grew rosy
and her eyes tender, "Why don't you
say it, then?"
"May I?" cried Stephen, and he was
so careless for a minute of the way he
held the basket that Felicia exclaimed :
"Yesl But, oh, don't drop my goodies I"
"Why, I wouldn't drop anything so
precious for all the world, 'dear Fe
licia,' " said Stephen, who now walked
on air for several blocks, and what else
was said during that walk is private
correspondence that we have no right
to read, only it is matter of history that
day that the basket never reached its
destination and that over in the other
direction late in the afternoon the
bishop, walking along quietly in a
rather secluded spot near the outlying
part of the settlement district, heard a
familiar voice say, "But tell me, Fe
licia, when did yon begin to love ine?"
, "I fell in love with a little pine shav
ing just above your ear that day I saw
yon in the shop," said the other voice,
with a laugh so clear, so pure, so sweet,
that it did one good to hear it.
The next moment the bishop turned
the corner and came upon them.
"Where are you going with that
basket?" he tried to say sternly.
"We're taking it to where are W8
taking it to, Felicia?"
"Dear bishop, wp are taking it hoina
to begin"
"To begin housekeeping with," fin
ished Stephen, coming to the rescue.
' "Are yon?" said the bishop. " I hope
you will invito me in to share. I know
what Felicia's cooking is. "
"Bishop, dear bishop," said FeV. '
and she did not pretend to hid -
happiness, "indeed you shall ahv
the most honored guest. Are you ;
"Yes, I am," replied the bisho .
terpreting Felicia's words as she wiu .
Then he paused a moment and said
gently, "God bless you both!" and went
his way, with a tear in his eye and rt
prayer in his heart, and left them to
their joy.
Yes; shall not the same divine power
of love that belongs to earth be lived
and sung by the disciples of the man of
sorrows and the burden bearer of sins?
Yea, verily I And this man and woman
shall walk hand in hand through this
great desert of human woe in this city,
strengthening each other, growing
more loving with the experience of the
world's sorrows, walking in his steps
even closer yet because of this love,
bringing added blessings to thousands
of wretched creatures because thev are
to have a home of their own to share
with the homeless. "For this cause," j
laid our Lord Jesus Christ, "shall a i
man leave his father and mother and j
cloavo unto ins wile, and Felicia and
Stephen, following the Master, love him
with deeper, truer service and devotion
because of the earthly affection which
heaven itself sanctions with its solemn
blessing.
Now, it was a little after tho love

The bishop invited into the settle

out of work, wretched creatures who

city's worst, most hopeless, most dan

up by the divinity student, "What
Would Jesus Do?"
And Henry Maxwell, as for the first
time he stepped under the doorway,
was touched with a deeper emotion than
he had felt in a long time as he thought
of the first time that question had come
to him in the piteous appeal of the
shabby young man who had appeared
in the First church of Raymond at the
morning service.
Was his great desire for Christian fel
lowship going to be granted? Would
the movement begun in Raymond actu
ally spread over the country ? He had
come to Chicago with his friends partly
to see if the answer to that question
would be found in the heart of the great
city life. In a few minutes he would
face the people. He had grown very
strong and calm since he first spoke
with trembling to that company of
workingmen in the railroad shops, but
now, as then, he breathed a deeper
prayer for help. Then he went in, and
With the bishop nnd the rest of the dis
ciples he experienced one of the great
and important events of the earthly
life. Somehow he felt as if this meeting
would indicate something of an answer
to his constant query, "What would
Jesus do?" and tonight as he looked
into the faces of men and women who
had for years been strangers and ene
mies to the church his heart cried out,
"O my Master, teach thy church how
to follow thy steps better I" Is that
prayer of Henry Maxwell's to be an
swered? Will the church in the city re
spond to the call to follow him ? Will it
choose to walk in his steps of pain and
suffering? And still over all the city
broods tho Spirit. Grieve him not, O
city, for he was never more ready to
revolutionize this world than now I
CHAPTER XII.
Yet lackest thou one thine. Sell all that thon
hast and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven. And, come: follow me.
When Henry Maxwell began to speak
to the souls crowded into the settlement
hall that night, it is doubtful if he had
ever before faced such an audience in
bis life. It is quite certain that the
city of Raymond did not contain such
a variety of humanity. Not even the
Rectangle at its worst could furnish so
many men and women who had fallen
entirely out of the reach of the church
and all religions and even Christian in
fluences. What did he talk about ? He had al
ready decided that point. He told in
I the simplest language he could com-
mand some of the results of obedience
j to the pledge as it had been taken in
Raymond. Every man and woman in
' that audience knew something about
1 Jesus Christ. They all had some idea of
I his character, and, however much they
had grown bitter toward the forms of
j Christian ecclesiasticism or tho social
'system, they preserved some standard
t of right and truth, and what little some
of them still retained was taken from
me person or ine peasant ot uaiilee.
So they were interested in what Max
well said. "What would Jesus do?" He
began to apply the question to the social
problem in general after finishing the
story of Raymond. The audience was
respectfully attentive. It was more than
that. It was genuinely interested. As
Mr. Maxwell went on faces all over the
hall leaned forvrard in a way very sel
dom seen in .church audiences or any
where else, except among workingmen
or the people of the street when once
they are thoroughly aroused. "What
would Jesus do?" Suppose that were
the motto not only of the churches, but
of the business men, the politicians, the
newspapers, the workingmen, the so
ciety people. How long would it take,
under such a standard of conduct, to
revolutionize the world ? What was the
trouble with the world ? It was suffer
ing from selfishness. No one ever lived
who had succeeded in overcoming self
ishness like Jesns. If men followed him,
regardless- of results, the world would
at once begin to enjoy a new life
Henry Maxwell never knew how
much it meant to hold the respectful
attention of that kail full of diseased
and sinful humanity. The bishop and
