Ingmen's ITou'stST TfieTenC'rnent dis
trict was becoming familiar territory
to him now. lie had settled finally
what his own action ought to be. In
that action his wife fully concurred.
And the members of Calvary church ,
coming In that Sunday morning , were
astonished at the message of their pas
tor as he spoke to them from the
standpoint of modern Christ.
" 1 said a month ago that the age in
which we live demands a simpler , less
extravagant style of living. 1 did not
mean by that to condemn the beauties
of art or the marvels of science or the
products of civilization. 1 merely em
phasized what 1 believe is a mighty
but neglected truth in our modern civ
ilization that if we would win men
to Christ we must adopt more of his
spirit of simple and consecrated self
denial. 1 wish to be distinctly under
stood as 1 go on that 1 do not condemn
any man simply because he is rich or
lives in a luxurious house , enjoying
every comfort of modern civilization ,
every delicacy of the season and all
physical desires. What 1 do wish dis
tinctly understood is the belief , which
has been burned deep Into me ever
since coming to this town , that If the
members of this church wish to honor
the Head of the church and bring men
to believe him and save them in this
life and the next they must be willing
to do far more than they have yet
done to make use of the physical com
forts and luxuries of their homes for
the blessing and Christianizing of this
community. In this particular 1 have
myself failed to set you an example.
The fact that I have so failed is my
only reason for making this matter
public this morning.
"The situation in Milton today is ex
ceedingly serious. 1 do not need to
prove It to you by figures. If any busi
ness man will go through the tene
ments , he will acknowledge my state
ments. If any woman will contrast
those dens with her own home , she
will , if Christ is a power in her heart ,
stand In horror before such a travesty
on the sacred thought of honor. The
destitution of the neighborhood is
alarming. The number of men out of
work is dangerous. The complete re
moval of all sympathy between the
church up here on this street and the
tenement district is sadder than death.
Oh , my beloved" Philip stretched out
his arms and uttered a cry that rang in
the ears of those who heard it and re
mained with some of them a memory
for years "these things ought not so
to be ! Where Is the Christ spirit with
us ? Have we not sat in our comforta
ble houses and eaten our pleasant food
and dressed in the finest clothing and
gone to amusements and entertain
ments without number while God's
poor have shivered on the streets and
his sinful ones have sneered at Chris
tianity as they have walked by our
church doors ?
"It is true we have given money to
charitable causes , it is true the town
council lias organized a bureau for the
care and maintenance of those in want ,
it Is true members of Calvary church ,
with other churches at this time , have
done something to relieve-the immedi
ate distress of the town , but how much
have we given of ourselves to those in
need ? Do Ave reflect that to reach souls
and win them , to bring back humanity
to God and the Christ , the Christian
must do something different from the
giving of money now and then ? He
must give a part of himself. That was
my reason for urging you to move this
church building away from this street
into the tenement district , that we
might give ourselves to the people
there. The idea is the same in what I
now propose. But you will pardon me
if first of all 1 announce my own ac
tion , which , 1 believe , is demanded by
the times and would be approved by
our Lord. "
Philip stepped up nearer the front of
the platform and spoke with an added
earnestness and power which thrilled
every hearer. A part of the great con
flict through which he had gone that
past mouth shone out in his pale face
and found partial utterance in his im
passioned speech , especially as he
drew near the end. The very abrupt
ness of his proposition smote the people
ple into breathless attention.
"The parsonage in which I am liv
ing is a large , even a luxurious , dwell
ing. It has nine large rooms. You are
familiar with its furnishings. The sal
ary this church pays me is ? 2,000 a
year , a sum which more than provides
for my necessary wants. What I have
decided to do is this : I wish this church
to reduce this salary one-half and take
the other thousand dollars to the fitting
up the parsonage for a refuge for
homeless children or for some such
purpose which will commend itself to
your best judgment. There is money
enough in this church alone to main
tain such an institution handsomely
and not a single member of Calvary
suffer any hardship whatever. I will
move Into a house nearer the lower
part of the town , where I can more
easily reach after the people and live
more among them. That is what I
propose for myself. It is not because
I believe the rich and the educated do
not need the gospel or the church. The
rich and the poor both need the life
more abundantly. But I am firmly
convinced that as matters now are
the church menjbershin thjiQUch pulpit
anil "pew intisr gK-e Itself more man
, In the later ages of the world it has
' done for the sake of winning men. The
form of self denial must take a definite
t
nite , physical , genuinely sacrificing
1
shape. The church must get back to
the apostolic times in some particu
lars and an adaptation of community of
goods and a sharing of certain aspects
of civilization must mark the church
membership of the coming twentieth
century. An object lesson in self de
nial large enough for men to see , a
self denial that actually gives up lux
uries , money and even pleasures this
Is the only kind that will make much
impression on the people. I believe if
Christ was on earth he would again
call for this expression of loyalty to
him. He would again say , 'So like
wise whosoever he be of you that for-
saketh not a'l that he hath , he cannot
be my disciple. '
"AH this is what I call on the mem-
tors of this church to do. Do I say
that you ought to abandon your own
houses and live somewhere else ? No.
I can decide only for myself in a mat-
J ter of that kind. But this much I do
say : Give ourselves in some genuine
way to save this town from its evil
wretchedness. It is not so much your
money as your own soul that the sick
ness of the world needs. This plan has
occurred to me : Why could not every
family in this church become a savior
to some other family , Interest itself in
the other , know the extent of its wants
as far as possible , go to it in person , let
the Christian home come into actual
touch with the un-Christiau in short ,
become a natural savior to one family ?
There are dozens of families in this
church that could do that. It would
take money. It would take time. It
would mean real self denial. It would
call for all your Christian grace and
courage , but what docs all this
church membership and church life
mean if not just such sacrifice ? We
cannot give anything to this age of
more "value than our own selves.
The world of sin and want and de
spair and disbelief is not hungering
for money or mission schools or char
ity balls or state institutions for the
relief of distress , but for live , pulsing ,
loving Christian men and women who
reach out live , warm hands , who are
willing to go and give themselves , who
will abandon if necessary , if Christ
calls for it , the luxuries they have
these many years enjoyed in order
that the bewildered , disheartened , dis
contented , unhappy , sinful creatures of
earth may actually learn of the love of
God through the love of man. And
that is the only way the world ever
has learned of the love of God. Hu
manity brought that love to the heart
of the race , and it will continue so to
do until this earth's tragedy is all play
ed and the last light put out. Mem
bers of Calvary church , I call on you
in Christ's name this day to do some
thing for your Master that will really
show the world that you are what you
say you are when you claim to be a
disciple of that one who. although he
was rich , yet for our sakes became
poor , giving up all heaven's glory in
exchange for all earth's misery , the
end of which was a cruel and bloody
crucifixion. Are we Christ's disciples
unless we arc willing to follow him in
this particular ? We are not our own.
We are bought with a price. "
When that Sunday service closed.
Calvary church was stirred to its
depths. There were more excited people
ple talking together all over the church
than Philip had ever seen before. He
greeted several strangers as usual and
was talking with one of them , when
one of the trustees came up and said
the board would like to meet him , if
convenient for him , as soon as he was
at liberty.
Philip accordingly waited in one of
the Sunday school classrooms with the
trustees , who had met immediately aft
er the sermon and decided to have an
instant conference with the pastor.
CHAPTER XIII.
The door of tin- classroom was closed ,
and Philip and the trustees were to
gether. There was a moment of embar
rassing silence , and then the spokes
man for the board , a nervous little
man , said :
"Mr. Strong , we hardly know just
what to say to this proposition of
yours this morning about going out of
the parsonage and turning it into an
orphan asylum. But it is certainly a
very remarkable proposition , and we
felt as if we ought to meet you at once
and talk it over. "
"It's simply impossible , " spoke -up
one of the trustees. "In the first place ,
it is impracticable as a business propo-
i.ition. "
"Do you think so ? " asked Philip
quietly.
"It is out of the question ! " said the
first speaker excitedly. "The church
will never listen to it in the world. For
my part , if Brother Strong wishes
to"-
to"At
At that moment the sexton knocked
at the door and said a man was outside
very anxious to see the minister and
have him come down to his house.
There had been an accident or a fighter
or something. Some one was dying
and wanted Mr. Strong at once. So
Philip hastily excused himself and
went out. leaving the trustees together.
The door was hardly shut again
when the speaker who had been icter-
