"What Would Jesus Do?"
1 '
By CHARLES 11. SHELDON.
Oopyrip 'ad and published in book form by
ih X nce Publishing Co. ol Chicago.
Henry Maxwell sat there staring a
the great sea of faces all intent on his, sprang to his feet and poured out a per
and no answer to this man's question feet torrent of abuse against the corpor
seemed, for the time being, to be possi- ations, especially the railroads. The

strangers or suicide or starvation? j "free for all" and asked Rachel to sing.
What would Jesus do? It was a fair Rachel Winslow had grown into a
question for the man to ask. It was the I very strong, healthful, bumble Chris-
only question he could ask, supposing
him to be a disciple of Christ, but what
a question for any man to be obliged to
ask under ouch conditionsl"
All this and more did Henry Maxwell
ponder. All the others were thinking in
the same way. The. bishop sat there
with a look so. stern and sad that it was
not hard to tell how the question moved
him. Dr. Bruce had his head bowed.
The human problem had never seemed
to him so tragic as since he had taken
the pledge and left his church to enter
the settlement. What would Jesus do?
It was a terrible question, and still the
man stood there, tall and gaunt and al
most terrible, with his arm stretched
Dut in an appeal which grew every sec
ond in meaning.
At length Mr. Maxwell spoke:
"Is there any man in the room who
Is a Christian disciple who has been In
this condition and has tried to do as
Jesus would do? If so, such a man can
answer his question better than I can. "
There was a moment's hush over the
room, and then a man near the front of
the hall slowly rose. ' He was an old
man, and the hand he laid on the back
of the bench in front of him trembled
as he spoke :
"I think I can safely say that I have
many times been in just such a condi
tion and have always tried to be a
Christian under all conditions. I don't
know that I have always asked this
question, 'What would Jesus do ?' when
I have been out of work, but I do know
I have tried to be his disciple at all
times. Yes," the man went on,, with a
sad smile that was more pathetic to the
bishop and Mr. Maxwell than the young
man's grim despair "yes, I have beg
ged, and I have been to the charity or
ganizations, and I have done every
thing when out of a job, except steal
and lie, in order to get food and fuel. I
don't know that Jesus would have done
Borne of the things I have been obliged
to do for a living, but I know I have
never knowingly done wrong when out
of work. Sometimes I think maybe he
would have starved sooner than beg. I
don't know."
The old man's voice trembled, and he
looked around the room timidly. A si
lence followed, broken by a fierce voice
from a large, black haired, heavily
bearded man who sat three seats from
the bishop. The minute he spoke nearly
every man in the hall leaned forward
eagerly. The man who had asked the
question, "What would Jesus do in my
case?" Blowly sat down and asked the
man next to him, "Who's that?"
"That's Carlsen, the socialistic lead
er. Now you'll hear something. "
"This is all bosh, to my mind," be
gan Carlsen, while his great, bristling
beard shook with the deep, inward
anger of the man. "The whole of our
system is at fault. What we call civi
lization is rotten to the core. There is
no use trying to hide it or cover it np.
We live in an age of trusts and com
bines and capitalistic greed that means
Bimply death to thousands of innocent
men, women and children. I thank
God, if there is a God, which I very
much doubt, that I, for ono, have never
dared to marry and try to have a home.
Home I Talk of holl I Is there any big
ger thnn the one this man with his
three children has on his hands right
this minute? And bo's only one out of
thousands, and yet this city and every
other big city in this country has its
thousands of professed Christians who
have all the luxuries and comforts and
who go to church Sundays and sing
their hymns alnmt giving all to Jesus
and bearing the cross and following him
ull the way and loii:; saved! I don't
say that there aren't some pood men
mid women anion;; them, but let the
minister who has spoken to us here to
night go into itny one of a dozen aris
tocratic churches I could name and pro
pose to the uiemlx'i's to take any such
pledjjo as the one he's proposed here and
see how quick the people would laugh
at him for n i ol or a crank or a fanat ic.
Oh, no I That's not the remedy. That
can't ever amount to anything. We've
got to have a new start in tho war of
government The whole thing needs re
construoting. 1 don't look for any re
form worth anything to come out of
the churches. They are not with the
people. They are with tho aristocrats,
with tho men of money. The trusts and
monopolies have their greatest meu in
tho churches. Th ministers as a class
are their slaves. What we need is a
system that shall tnrt from th com
mon basis of socialism fonnded . .. the
rights of tho common people"'
Carlsen had evidently forgotten all
about the three minute jnle and was
biiinohin himself into a regular ora
tion that meant, hi his t'snal surround
ings, before his usual audience, uu hour
at least, when the man lost behind him
, pulled him down unceremoniously and
rose. Carlsen was angry at first and
threatened a tittle disturbance, but the
bishop reminded him of the rule, and
he subsided, with leveral muttering"
in his beard, while th naxt speaker be
gan with a very strong eulogy on the
value of the single tax as a genuine
remedy for all the social ilia He was
followed by a man who made a bitter
attack on the churches and ministers
and declared that the two great obsta
cles in the way of all true reform were
the courts and the ecclesiastical ma
chines. When he sat down, a man who bore
i every mark of being a street laborer
tian during that wonderful year in
Raymond dating from the Sunday
when she first took the pledge to do as
Jesus would do, and her great talent of
song had been fully consecrated to the
service of her Master. When she began
to sing tonight at this settlement meet
ing, she had never prayed more deeply,
for results to coma from her voice the
voice which she now regarded as the
Master's, to be us.Hd for him,
Certainly her prayer was being an
swered as she sang. She had chosen the
words:
Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,
- Follow me, follow me I
Again Henry Maxwell, sitting there,
was reminded of his first night at the
Rectangle in the tent when Rachel sang
the people into quiet. The effect was
the same here. What wonderful power
a good voice consecrated to the Master's
1 service always is I Rachel's great nat- j
I nral ability would have made her one
I of the foremost opera singers of the age.
I Surely this audience had never before
j heard such melody. How could it? The
j men who had drifted in from the. street
: sat entranced by a voice which "back
jjn the world", never could be heard by
I the common, people because the owner
of it would charge $3 or $3 for the
I privilege. The song poured out through
the hall as frife and glad as if it were a
foretaste of salvation itself.
Carlsen, with his great black bearded
1 face, absorbed the music with the deep
love of It peculiar to his nationality,
. and a tear ran over his cheek and glis
j tened in his beard as his face softened
1 and became almost noble in its aspect,
j The man out of work who had wanted
to know what Jesus would do in his
place sat with grimy hand on the back
of the bench in front of him, with his
mouth partly open, his great tragedy
for the moment forgotten. The song
while it lasted was food and work and
warmth and union with his wife and
babies once more. The mVj who had
spoken so fiercely against the churches
and the miniblers sat with his head
erect at first, with a look of stolid re
sistance, as if he stubbornly resented
the introduction into the exercisesof
anything that was even remotely con
nected with the church or its form of
worship, but gradually , he yielded to
the power that was swaying the hearts
of all the persons in that room, and a
look of sad thonghtfnluoss crept over '
his face.
The bishop said to himself that night
while Rachel was singing that if the
world of sinful, diseased, depraved, lost
humanity could only have the gospel
preached to it by consecrated prima
donnas and professional tenors and altos
and bnssos he believed it would hasten
the coming of the kingdom quicker
than any other one force. "Why, oh, !
why," he cried in his heart as he lis
tened, "nas we world's great treasure in
Bong been so often held far from the
poor because the personal possessor of
voice or fingers capable of stirring di-1
vinest melody has so often regarded the
gift as something with which to make
money? Shall there be no martyrs
among the gifted ones of the earth?
Shall there bo no giving of this great
gift as well as of others?"
And Henry Maxwell again, as before,
called up that other audience at the
Rectangle, with increasing longing for
a larger spread of the new discipleship.
What he had seen and heard at the set
tlement burned into him deeper the be
lief that the problem of the city would
te solved if the Christians in it should
once follow Jesus as he gave command
ment But what of this great mass of
humanity, neglected and sinful, the
very kind of humanity tho Saviour
came to save, with all its mistakes and
narrowness, its wretchedness and loss
of hope above all, its unqualified bit
terness toward the church ? That was
What smote Henry Maxwell deepest.
Was the church, then, so far from the
Master that tho people no longer fonud
him in the church? Was it true that
tho chinch had lost its power over the
Very kind of humanity which in the
early ages of Christianity it reached in
the greatest numbers? How much was
true in what the socialist leader said
about the nselos?ness of looking to the
church for reform or redemption be- j
cause of the selfishness and seclusion
and aristocracy of its members?
He was more and more impressed
with the appalling fact that the com
paratively few men in the hall, now
boiug held quiet for awhile by Rachel's
voice, represented thousands of others
just like them, to whom a church and
a minister stood for less than a saloon
or a beer garden as a source of comfort
or happiness. Ought it to be so? If the
church members were all doing as Jesus
would do, could it remain true that
that's alL No energy, no
vim, no vigor, no ambition.
The head aches, thoughts
are confused, memory fails.
Life becomes a round of
work but half accom
plished, of eating that does
not nourish, of sleep that
fails to refresh and of
resting that never rests.
That's the beginning of
nervous prostration.
"I never had anything do me so much
good as Dr. Miles' Nervine. I was
tired, nervous, sleepless and wnrn-out
and Nervine cured me. I know of
nothine so good for in1 ipest ion and
general building up of the system."

armies of men would walk the streets
for jobs and hundreds of them curse
the church and thousands of them find
in the saloon their best friend ? How
far were the Christians responsible for
this human problem that was personally
illustrated right In this hall tonight?
Was it true that the great city churches
would, as a rule, refuse to walk in Je
sus' steps so closely as to suffer, actual
ly suffer, for his sake ?
Henry Maxwell kept asking this ques
tion even after Rachel had finished sing
ing and the meeting had come to an
end, after a social gathering" which was
Very informal. Ho asked it while tho
little company of residents, With the
Raymond visitors, were having a devo
tional service, as the custom in the set
tlement was. He asked it during a con
ference with the bishop and Dr. Bruce
which lasted until 1 o'clock. He asked
it as he kneeled again before sleeping
and poured out his soul in his petition
for spiritual baptism on the church in
America such as it had never known.
He asked it the first thing in the morn
ing and all through tho day as he went
over the settlement district and saw the
life of the people so far removed from
the life abundantly. Would the church
members, would the Christians, not
only in the churches of Chicago, but
throughout the country, refuse to walk
in his steps if, in order to do so, they
must actually take up a cross and fol
low him ?
This was the one question that con
tinually demanded answer. He had
planned, when he came to the city, to
return to Raymond and be in his own
pulpit on Sunday, but Friday morning
he had received at the settlement a call
from the pasor of one of the largest
churches in Chicago and had been in
vited to fill the pulpit for both morning
and evening services.
At first he hesitated, but finally ac
cepted, seeing in it the hand of the
Spirit's guiding power, no would test
his own question. He would prove the
truth or falsity of . the charge made
against the church at the settlement
meeting. How far would it go in its
self denial for Jesus' sake? How close
would it walk in his steps? Was the
church willing to suffer for its Master?
Saturday night he spent in prayer
nearly the whole night. There had nev
er been so great a wrestling in his soul,
even during his strongest experiences
in Raymond. He had, in fact, entered
upon a new experience. The definition
of his own discipleship was receiving
an added tost at this timo, and he' was
being led into a larger truth of his
Lord.
rne great church was filled to its ut
most. Henry Maxwell, coming into the
pulpit from that all night vigil, felt the
pressure of a great curiosity on the part
of the people. They had heard of the
Raymond movement, as all tho churches
had, and tho recent action of Dr. Bruce
had added to the general interest in the
pledge. With this curiosity was some
thing deeper, more ijerious. Mr. Max
well felt that also, and in the knowledge
that the Spirit's presence was his living
strength he brought his message and
gave it to the church that day.
He had never been what would be
called a great preacher. He had not tho
force or the quality that makes remark
able preachers. But ever since he had
promised to do as Jesus would do he
had grown in a certain quality of per
suasiveness that had all the essentii. a of
true eloquence. This morning the peo
ple felt the complete sincerity and hu
mility of a man who had gone deep into
the heart of a great truth. After tell
ing briefly of some results in his own
church in Raymond since the pledge
was raxen he went on to ask the ques
tion he had been asking since the settle
ment meeting. He had taken for his
liienie the story of the young man who
came to Jesus asking what he must do
to obtain eternal life. Jesus had tested
bim: "Sell all that thou hast and give
to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure
in heaven. And, come; follow me."
But the young man was not willing to
suffer to that extent If following Jesus
meant suffering in that way, he was
not willing. Ho would liko to follow
Jesus, but not if h had to give up 60
mrtch. Continued on r age C
