"What Would Jesus Do."
(Continued from page 8 )
"Is it true," continued Henry Max
wMl. and hi fine, thoughtful face
glowed with a passion of appeal that
stirred the people as tbey had seldom
been stirred "is it true that the church
of today, tho church that is called after
Christ's tiivn nuiue, would refuse to
follow Jemi at the expense of suffering,
of physical loss, of temporary gain?
The statement was made at a large
gathnring in the settlement last week
by a luuder of workingmen that It was
hopeless to look to the church for any
reform or redemption of society. On
what was that statement basod? Plain
ly on the assumption thut the church
contained for the most part men and
women who thought more of their own
easo and luxury than of the sufferings
and needs and sins of humanity. How
far was that true? Are the Christians
of America ready to have their iplo
ship tested? How about the men who
possess large wealth? Are they ready to
take that wealth and nse it as Jesus
would ? How about tho men and women
of great talent ? Are they ready to con
secrate that tulent to humanity, as Jesus
undoubtedly would do?
"Is It not true that tho call has come
In this age fur a new exhibition of dis
cipleship, Christian discipleship? You
who live in this great, sinful city must
know that bettor than I do. Is it possi
ble you can go your ways careless or
thoughtless of the awful condition of
mnn and women and children who are
dying, body and sonl, for Christian
help? Is it not a matter of concern to
you personally that tho Baloon kills its
thousands more surely than war? Is it
not a mutter of personal suffering in
Homo form for yon that thousands of
nblobodii'd, willing men tramp the
streets tf this city and nil cities crying
for work and drifting into crime uud
snicidu because thoy cunnot find it ? Can
you say that this is none of your busi
ness? Let each man look after himself?
Would it not be true, think you, that
if every Christian in America did as
Josns would do society ilself, tho busi
ness world yes, tho very political sys- j
tern under which our commercial and ;
governmental activity is carried on
would bo ho changed that human suffer
ing wonld lie reduced to h minimum? I
"What wonld be the result if all the j
chnrch members of this city tried to do '
as Jesns would do? It is not possible to
say in detail what tho effect would be, j
but it is easy to say, and it is true, thut
instantly the human problem would be- '
gin to find an adequate answer. '
"What is the test of Christian disci
pleship? Is it not the same as in Christ's
own lifetime? Have our surroundings
modified or changed the test? If Josns
were here today, would he not call some
of tho members of this very church to
do jnst whnt ho commanded tho young
man and usk lmu to give up his wealth
and literally follow him? I believe he
would do that if he felt certain that
any church member thought more of
his possessions thon of his Saviour. The
test would bo the same today as then.
I.yclievo Jesus would demand, he does
d'niind now, as closo a following, as
nuuh suffering, ns grent self denial, as I
when he lived in person on the earth '
and said, 'Except a man renounceth all
that ho hath, ho cannot be my disciple' ,
that is. unless hn is willing to il.i it I
for my sake lie cannot bo my itiscipie.
"What Wonld be the resn'lt if In thi- '
city every church member should begin
to do as Jesus wonld do? It is not easy
to go into details of the result, but we
nil know that certain things would be
impossible that are now practiced by
church members. What would Jesus do
in tho matter of wealth? How would
ho spend it? What principle would reg
ulate his use of money ? Would ho be
likely to live in great luxury and spend
ten times as much on personal adorn
ment and entertainment as he spent to

hundreds of lads in a business that ig
nores all Christian duties toward them

training and personal afifection ? Would
Jeans if he were here today, as a part
of our age and commercial industry,
foel nothing, do nothing, say nothing,
in the face of these facts, which every
business man knows?
"What would Jeans do? Is not that
what the disciple ought to do? li he
not commanded to follow in his steps?
How much is the Christianity of the
age suffering for him ? Is it denying it
self at the cost of ease, comfort, luxury,
elegance of living ? What does the age
need more than personal sacrifice? Does
the church do its duty in following
Jesus when it gives a little money to
establish missions or relieve extreme
cases of want? Is it any sacrifice for a
man who is worth $10,000,000 simply
to give 10,000 for some benevolent
work? Is he not giving something that
costs him practically nothing, so far as
any personal pain or suffering goes? Is
it true that the Christian disciples to
day in most of our churches are living
soft, easy, selfish lives, very far from
any sacrifict that can be called sacrifice?
What wonld Jesus do?
"It is the personal element that
Christian discipleship needs to empha
size. 'The gift withont the giver is
bare.' The Christianity that attempts
to suffer by proxy is not the Christian
ity of Christ. Each individual Chris
tian, business man, citizen, needs to
follow in his steps along the path of
personal sacrifice for him. There is not
a different path today from that of
Jesus' own times. It is the same path.
The call of this dying century and of
the new one soon to be is called for a
new discipleship, a new fellowship of
Jesus, more like the early, simple, apos
tolic Christianity when the disciples
left all and literally followed the Mas
ter. Nothing but a discipleship of this
kind can face the destructive selfishness
of the age with any hope of overcoming
it. There is a great quantity of nom
inal Christianity today. There is need
of more of the real kind. We need a
revival of the Christianity of Christ.
We have, unconcciously, lazily, selfish
ly, formally, grown into a discipleship
that Jesns himself would net acknowl
edge. He would eay to many of ns
when we cry, 'Lord, Lord,' 'I never
knew you. ' Are we ready to take up
the cross? Is it possible for this church
to sing with exact truth:
"Jeiui, I my crow hive taken.
All to leave end follow theet
"If we can sing that truly, then we
may claim discipleship, bht if our defi
nition of being a Christian is simply to
enjoy the privileges of worship, be gen
erous at no expense to ourselves, have
a good, easy time, surrounded by pleas
ant friends and by comfortable things,
live respectubly and at the same time.
avoid the world's great stress of sin and
trouble because it is too much pain to
bear it if this is our definition of
Christianity, surely we are a long way
from following the steps of him who
trod the way with groans and tears and
sobs of anguish for a lost humanity;
who sweat, as it were, great drops of
Plood ; who cried ont on tho upreared
cross, 'My God, my God. why hast thou
forsaken me?"
"Are we ready to make and live a
new discipleship 1 Are we ready to re
consider our definition of a Ci istian?
What is it to be a Christian? it is to
imitate Jesns. It is to do as he would
do. It is to w!k in his steps."
When Henry Maxwell finished his
sermon, he paused and looked at the
people with a look they never forgot
und at the moment did not understand.
Crowded into that fashionable church
that day were hundreds of men and
women who had for years lived the
easy, satisfied life of a nominal Chris
tianity. A great silence fell over the
congregation. Through the silence there
came to the consciousness of all the
souls there present a knowledge, stran
ger to them now fo years, of a Divine
power. Everyone xpected the preacher
to call for volunteers who would do as
Jesns would do, but Henry Maxwell
bad been led by the Spirit to deliver
his message this time and wait for re
sults to come.
He closed the service with a tender
prayer that kept the Divine presence
lingering very near every hearer, and
the people slowly rose to go oni

left the meeting very late. lie went to
his room at the settlement, where be

a joyful rehearsal of the wonderful
events of the day. he sat down to think

tie Kneeica to pray, as lie always aid
now, before going to sleep, and it was
while he was on his knees this night
that he had a waking vision of what
might be in the world when once the
new discipleship had made its way into
the conscience and consciousness of
Christendom. He was fully conscious of
being awake, but no less certainly did
it seem to him that he saw certain re
sults with great distinctness, partly as
realities of the future, partly as great
longings that they might be realities,
and this is what Henry Maxwell saw in
this waking vision:
He saw himself first going back to the
First church in Raymond, living there
in a simpler, more self denying fashion
! than hehad 7et been willing to observe,
because he saw ways in which he could
help others who were really dependent
on him for help. He also saw more dim
ly that the time would come when his
position as pastor of the church would
cause him to suffer more, on account of
growing opposition to his interpretation
of Jesus and his conduct, but this was
vaguely outlined. Through it all he
heard the words. "My grace is suffi
cient for thee. "
He saw Rachel Winslow and Virginia
Page going on with their work of serv
ice at the Rectangle and reaching out
loving hands of helpfulness far beyond
the limits of Raymond. Rachel he saw
married to Rollin Page, both fully con
secrated to the Master's nse, both fol
lowing in his steps with an eagerness
intensified and purified by their love
for each other, and Rachel's voice sang
on in the imms and dark places of de
spair and sin and drew lost souls back
to Qod and heaven once more.
He saw President Marsh of the col
lege nsing his great learning and his
great influence to purify the city, to
ennoble its patriotism, to inspire the
young men and women who loved as
well as admired him to live lives of
Christian service, always teaching them
that education means great responsibil
ity for the weak and the ignorant He
saw Alexander Powers meeting with
sore trials in his family life, with a
constant sorrow in the estrangement of
wife and friends, bnt still going his
way in all honor, seeing and living in
all his strength the Master, whom he
had obeyed even unto loss of social dis
tinction and wealth.
He saw Milton Wright, the merchant,
meeting with great reverses, thrown
upon the future by a combination of
circumstances, with vast business in
terests involved in ruin, through no
fault of his own. bnt coming out of all
his reverses with clean Christian honor,
to begin and work up to a position
where he could again be to hundreds cf
young men an example of what Jesus
would be in business.
He saw Edward Norman, editor of
The News, by means of the money giv
en by Virginia, creatins a force in jour
nalism that in time came to be recog
nized as ono of the real factors of the
nation, to mold its principles and actu
ally shape its policy, a daily illustra
tion of the might of a Christian press
and the first of a series of such papers
begun and carried on by other disciples
who had also taken the pledge.
He saw Jasper Chase, who had denied
his Master, growing into a cold, cynical,
formal life, writing novels that were
social successes, but each one with a
sting in it, the reminder of his denial,
the bitter remorse that, do what he
wonld, no social success could remove.
He saw Rose Sterling, dependent for
some years upon her aunt and Felicia,
finally married to a man far older than
herself, accepting the burden of a rela
tion that had no love in it on her part
because of her desire to be the wife of a
rich man and enjoy the physical lux
uries that were all of life to her. Over
this life also the vision cast certain
dark and awful shadows, but they were
Cot shown to him in detail.
He saw Felicia and Stephen Clyde
happily married, liviug a beautiful life
together, enthusiastic, joyful in suffer
ing, pouring out tlioir great, strong,
fragrant service into the dull, dark,
terrible places of the great city and re
deeming sonls through the personal
touch of their home, .dedicated to the
human homesickness all about them.
He saw Dr. Bruce and the bishop go
ing on with the settlement work. He
seemed to see the great blazing motto
over the door enlarged. "What Would
Jesus Do?" und the daily answer to
that question was redeeming the city
in its greatest need.
He saw Burns anl his companion
and a great company of men like them
redeemed and going in turn to others,
conquering their passions by the Divine
grace and proving by their daily lives
the.reality of the new birth, even in the
lowest and most abandoned.
And now the vision was troubled. It
teemed to him that as he kneeled he be
gan to pray, and the vision was more
01 a ng'nS a future than a reality

to extend deep .and far ? He felt with
Igony after the vision again. He
Ihonght he saw the chnrch of Jesns in
America open its heart to the moving
Df the Spirit and rise to the sacrifice of
its ease and self satisfaction in the
name of Jesus. He thought he saw the
j njotto, "What Would Jesus Do?" in
iBcribod over every church door and
tvritten on every church member's
heart. The vision vanished. It came
back clearer than before, and he saw
the Endeavor societies all over the
world carrying in their great proces
sions at some mighty convention a ban
ner on which was inscribed, "What
Would Jesns Do 1" and he thought in
the faces of the young men and women
he saw future joy of suffering, loss,
self denial, martyrdom, and when this
part of the vision slowly faded he saw
the figure of the Son of Qod beckoning
to him and to all the other actors in his
life history. An angel choir somewhere
was singing. There was a sound as of
many voices and a shout as of a great
victory, and the figure of Jesus grew
more and more splendid. He stood at
the end of a long flight of steps. "Yes I
Yesl O my Master, has not the time
come for this dawn of the millennium
of Christian history T Oh, break upon
the Christendom of this age with the
light and the truth I Help ns to follow
, thee all the way I"
I He rose at last with the awe of one
who has looked at heavenly things. He
felt the human forces and the hnman
sins of the world as never before, and,
with a hope that walks hand in hand
with faith and love, Henry Maxwell,
disciple of Jesus, laid him down to sleep
and dreamed of the regeneration of
Christendom and saw in his dream a
chnrch of Jesus "without spot or wrin
kle or any such thing," following him
all the way, walking obediently in his
steps.
