This sea son has been u poor season for the oyster trade auy way, aud many dealers are not doing as much husi- son, as they have done in other years in tbe mouth of October or November. W’heu the season ipened iu September there was every prospect of an excellent trade, but, as it turned out, this trade did uot materialize, us the dealers ex pected.

He put the question ae naturally as if the whole congregation had been a email private Bible class. He paused just a moment and coughed jiainfully Then he went on. “ I lost my job ten months ago. I am a printer by trade. The new linotype machines are beautiful specimens of invention, but I know six men who have killed themaelvee inside of the ,r just on account of thoee machines >r gi what can a man do! I know I never learned tint the one trade, and that's all I can do. I've tramped all over the country trying to find something There are a good many others like me I’m not complaining, am I! Just statini facts. But I was wondering, as I there under the gallery, if what call following Jesus is the same as what he taught “ What did he mean when he said. 'Follow me!’ The ministei; said\—here the man turned about and looked up at the pulpit—“ that it was necessary for the disciple of Jesus to-Jolluw his steps, and he said the steps were obedience, faith, love and imitation. But I did not hear him tell just what he meant that to mean, especially the last step. What do Christians mean by following the steps of Jeans! I’ve tramped through this city for three days trying to find a job. and in all that time I've not had a word of sympathy or comfort except from your minister here, who said he was eorry for me and hoped 1 would find a job somewhere. I suppose it is because you get so imposed on by the professional tramp that you have : in the what is meant by following Jesus. Do yon mean that you are suffering and denying yourselves and trying to save lost Buffering humanity Just as I un derstand Jesus did! What do you mean by i t ! I see the ragged edge of things a good deal I understand there are more than 600 men in this city in my case. Most of them have families. My wife died four months ago. I'm glad she ia out of trouble. My little girl is staying with a printer's family until 1 find a job. Somehow I get puzzled when I see so many Christians living to leave and fol- lost-your Interest in th other sort. I’m not blaming anybody, am 1! Just etat- 3 I understand y< inr way to hunt t ig zzled about is blaming a ing facta Of conraele can’t all go out of your way to hui J . i I understand j our way to hunt Jobs for people like me. I’m not a ski you to, but what I feel | in luxury and singing, ‘Jesus, cross have taken, all low thee,' and remember how my wife died in b tenement in New York city, gasping for air and asking God to take the little girl too. Of oourao I don’t ex pect you people can prevent every one from dying of starvation, lack of proper nourishment and tenement air. But what does following Jesus mean! I understand that Christian jieoplo own a good many of tho tenementa. A mem ber of a church was the owner of tho one where my wife died, and I have wondered if following Josns all the way was true in his case. I heard some people singing at a cbm ing tho other night, \All for Jreue. all for Jesua, prayer meet- i my being’s ransomed powers, All my though to and all my gloings, All my days and all my hours, “and I kept wondering, as I sat on tho steps outside, just what they meant by it. It seems to me there’s an awful lot of trouble in tho world that some- how'wonldn't exist if all the people who sing such songs went and lived them ont. I suppose I don't under stand. But what would Jesus do! Is that what you mean by following his steps! It seems to me sometimes as if the people in tho city churches had good clothes and nice houses to live in, and money to spend for luxuries, and could away on summer vacations and all i tolde die in tenements, and walk the streets for jobs, and never have a piano or a picture in the house, and g $9 up in misery and drunkenness and sin. \ The :avo a queer lurch over in the di- go « that, while the people outsid of the churches, thousam people I mean, tion of the communion table and laid the carpet at his feet. one grimy hand on it. His hat fell iqion stir went through tho congregation. Dr West half lone from his seat, hut aa yet the silence was unbroken by any voice or movement worth mentioning in the audience. Tho man imssed bis other hand across liis eyes and then, without any warning, fell heavily forward on his face, full length, up the lisle. Henry Maxwell spoke, \We will con sider the service dismissed.\ He was down the pulpit stalre and kneeling by the prostrate form before any one else The audience instantly rose, and the aisle was crowded. Dr. West pro nounced the man alive He had fainted “Some heart trouble,” the doctor also muttered as he bellied to carry him into the pastor’s study. Henry Maxwell and a group of ids church memls-rs remained some time in the study. Tho man lay on tho couch there and breathed heavily. When the question of what to do with him ramo up, the minister insisted upon taking him to his house He lived near by and had an extra room. Rachel Winslow said: \Mother has no company at pres ent I am sure wo would tie glad to give him a place with us. ” She looked strangely agituti'd. No one noticed it larticularly. They were all excited over strange event, the strangest that First church people could remember. But tho minister insisted on taking chargecf the man. aud when a carriage came tho unconscious hut living form was carried to his house, and with the entrance of that humanity into the minister's spare room a new chapter in Hunrv Maxwell's life began, and yet no one, himself least of all, dreamed of the remarkable change it was destined to make in all his after definition of Chris tian disciplvship The event created a great sensation in the First church parish. People talked of nothing else f- r a week. It lis attar rill be 1: •The child is coming. 8 lore,’’ Henry Maxwell said ng er her father died. He lay in that room, his troubles over, and Henry no sat mere, ms race showing marks or the strain of tho week’s vigil, for lie had Insisted on sitting np nearly every “ 1 shall never see her in this world, ’ the man whispered. Then he uttered with great difficulty the words “ You have been good to no. Somehow I feel as if it was what Jesus would do.\ After a few moments he torned his head slightly, and before Henry Max well could realize the fact tlw doctor said, “ He is gone. \ Tho Sunday morning that dawned on the city of Raymond was exactly like the Sunday of the week before. Henry Maxwell entered his pnlpit to face one of the largest congregations that had ever crowded First church.

As a matter of fact, he had done so occasionally when he first entered tho ministry, hut for a long time he had carefully written out every word of his morning sermon and nearly always his evening discourse as well. It cannot be said that his sermon this morning was very striking or im pressive. He talked with considerable hesitation. It was evident that some great idea struggled in his thought for utterance, hut it was not expressed in tho theme he had chosen for his preach ing. It was near the close of his sermon that he liegan to gather a certain strength that had been jmlnfully lack ing at the beginning. lie closed the Bible, and, stepping onf-nt the side of the desk, ho faced his pifiple and began to talk to them alsmt the remarkable scene of tho week before. \Onr brother”—somehow the words sounded a little strange coming from I have not yet had time ing Tbs service that morning contai new element No one could remember this moraln ng Henry Maxwell's lips—“passed away ng. I have not ye to learn all his history. He had one sis ter living in Chicago. I have written her and have not yet received an an swer. His little girl is with us and will remain for the time. ” He paused and looked over tho house. Ho thought ho had never seen so many earnest faces during tho entire pastor ate. He was not able yet to tell his peo ple his experiences, tho crisis through which be was even now moving, but something of his feeling passed from him to them, and it did not seem to hfm that ho was acting under a careless impulse at all to go on and break to them this morning something of the message he bore in his heart So be went on: “ The appearance and words of this stranger in the church last Sunday made a very powerful impression t amm notot ablele too concealeal fromrom you self the fact that what ho said/ ias been, by his dc i compelled mo to before, ‘What does an!’ I am not in a sitiun yet. to utter any condcmnat: :ry pow me.

A good deal that was said here last Sunday was in tho nature of a challenge to Christianity ns it is seen and felt in onr churches. I have felt this with increasing emphasis every day since, and I do not know that any time is more appropriate than the present for me to propose a plan or a purpose which has boon forming in my mind ns a satisfactory reply to mneh that was said hero last Sunday. ” Again Henry Maxwell paused and looked into the faces of his people. There were some strong, earnest men and women in tho First church. The minister could see Edward Norman, editor of the Raymond Daily News Ho had been a member of First church for ten years. No man was more honored in the community. There was Alexan der Powers, superintendent of tho rail road shops. There was Donald Marsh, president of Lincoln college, situated in tho snbnrlia of Raymond. There was grereat chants of Raymond,lymond, havingaving int his eni y iu special snrgien Chiase, h i at least 100 men in various shops was Dr. West, who, although nparatively young, was quoted as authority iu special surgical cases. still con: There was young Jasjier Ch the Milton Wright, one of the g mer- tyn 101 Dr. ,tiv iu author, who had written one snrcessfnl book and was said to be at Work on a new novel There was Miss Virginia Page, the heiress, who through tho re cent death of her father had inherited a million at least and was gifted with unusual attractions of jierson and in tellect. And, net least of all. Rachel Winslow from her seat in tho choir glowed with her peculiar lieanty of light this morning because she was so intensely interested in the whole scene Thero was some reason perhaps, in view of such material in the First church, for Henry Maxwell's feeling of satisfaction whenever he considered his parish ns ho had the, previous Sunday There was a large number of strong in dividual characters who claimed mem bership there. But us lie noted their faces this morning Henry Maxwell was simply wondering how many of them would respond to the strange projHisi- tion ho was about to make. Hu con- tinned slowly, taking time to choose hie words carefully and giving the peo ple an impression they had never felt before, even when he was at his best, with his most dramatic delivery \What 1 am going to propose now ia something which ought not to appear unusual or at all impossible of execu tion, yet 1 am aware that it will he so t o r notntng else r-r a ween, rr I regarded by a large number jierhaps of was the general impression that the j the memllPre of t h „ church.

In other words, we propose to follow Jeans’ steps as closely and as literally as wo believe be taught his disciples to do. And those who volunteer to do this will pledge themaelvee for an entire year, begin ning with today, so to act. ’ ’ Henry Maxwell paused again and looked over bis church, it is not easy to describe the sensation that such a simple proposition apparently made. Men glanced at one another in aston ishment. It was not like Henry Max well to define Christian discipleehip in this way. There was evident confusion of thonght over his propoeition..It was understood well enough, but there was apparently a great difference ot opinion Ra to the application of J celts' teaching and example. Henry Maxwell calmly vkaed the service with a brief prayer. The organ ist began his poatlude immediately aft er the benediction, and the people be gan to go o u t There was a great deal of conversation. Animated groups stood all over thu church discussing the min ister’s proposition. It was evidently provoking great discussion. After sev eral minutes Henry Maxwell asked all who expected to remain to pass into tho lecture room on the side. He him self was detained at the front of the church talking with several persons there, and whenue finally turned around the church was empty. He walked over to the lecture room entrance and went In. He was almost startled to see the peo ple who were there. He had.not made his mind about any of his%iembers, ig of now awaited them. There were pfYliape but ho had hardlyly expectedxpect that many were ready literal testing e to enter into such a their diaciples^ip as Rachel Winslow and Viriginia 50 members present Among them were ir Page, Mr. Norman, President Marsh, Alex ander Powers, the railroad superintend ent; Milton W right Dr. West and Jas per Chase. Tho pastor closed the door of the lec- tnre room and stood tiefore the little gronp. His face was pale, and his lips mbled with emotion. U was to him a genu of his rish. No man can tell nntil he ng of jtrayer. He asked them all to pray with mine crisis in his own life and that is moved by the Divine Spirit what he may do or how he may change the cur rent of a lifetime of fixed ha’^ ’s of thought and speech and action Ttvnry Maxwell did not, ns we have said, yet know himself all that he was vaR.-iiig through, but he was conscious of s great upheaval in his definitions of Christian discipleehip, and he was moved with a depth of feeling he could not measure as ho looked into the faces of these men and women on this occa- It seemed to him that the most fittini that ay w him, and almost with the first syllable ho uttered there was a distinct presence of the Spirit felt by them all. As the prayer went on this presence grew in power. They all felt i t The room was filled with it ns plainly as if it had been visible. When the prayer closed, there was a silence that lasted several mo menta. All the heads were bowed. Henry Maxwell's face was wet with tears If an audible voice from hoavea had sanctioned their pledge to follow tlie Master’e steps, not one person pres ent could have felt more certain of the Divine blessing. And so the most seri ous movement ever started in the First church of Raymond was begun. \We all understand,” said Henry Maxwqll, speaking very quietly, “ what wo have undertaken to d a We pledge ourselves to do everything in our dally lives after asking the question, 'What wonld Jeans do!’ regardless of what may be the result to ua Some time 1 shall bo able to tell you what a marvel ous change has come over my life with in a week's time. 1 cannot now. But the experience I have been through since last Sunday has left me so dissat isfied with my previous definition of discipleship that 1 have been compelled to take this action. I did not dare be gin it alone. 1 know that I am being led by the hand o t, Divine love in all this The same Divine Impulse must have led you also. Do we understand fully what wo have undertaken!” “ 1 want to ask a question,\ said Rachel Winslow Every one turned toward her. Her face glowed with a beauty that no love liness could ever create. “ I am a little in doubt as to the source of onr knowledge concerning what Jesus wonld do Who Is to decide for me just what ho wonld do in my case! It is a different age. There are many perplexing questions in our civi lization that are not mentioned in the teaching of Jesua How am I going to tell what he would do!\ “ There is no way that 1 know of.” replied Mr Maxwell, “ except as we study Jesus through the iirdium of the Holy Spirit. Yon rememlier what Christ said speaking to his disciples alaiut the Holy Spirit: “ Tlowbclt, when he, :lio Spirit of Truth is come, he shall guide you into all the truth, for he shall uot speak from himself. But what things soever ho shojl hear, these shall ho sjieuk, nud ho shall declare unto you the things that are to come He shall glorify me, for he shall take of mine and shall de clare It unto you. All things whatso ever the Father hath are mine; there fore said I that he taketh of shall declare it unto you. ’ ' 'There la no other test that I know of. Wo shall all have to decide what Jesus wonld do after going to that eonrrn of knowledge \ “ What if others say of us when we do certain things that Jesns would not do sot\ asked the superintendent of railroads. \We cannot prevent that, but we muet be absolutely honest with onr- selves. The standard of Christian action cannot vary in most of onr act*.\ “And yet what one church meralier thinks Jesus would do another refuses to accept as his possible course of ac tion. What is to render our conduct uniformly Christlike!
