Seven Days," Etc.

JCopyricfct, 1808, by The Advance Publishing Co.] "All this is what I call on tlie members oi this church to do. Do 1 say that you ought to abandon your own houses and live somewhere else? No. I can decide only for myself in a matter of t'hat kind. But this much I do say: Give ourselves in some genuine way to save this town from its evil wretchedness. It is not su much your money as your own soul that the sickness of the workl needs. This plan has occurred to rue: 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 nu-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 does 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 despair and disbelief is not hungering for money or mission schools or charity 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 lo 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, discontented. 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. Humanity brought that love to the heart of the race, and it will continue so to do until this earth's tragedy is all played and the last light put out. Members of Calvary church. I call on you in Christ's name this day to do something 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 sakos became poor, giving up ail heaven's glory in exchange for all earth's misery, the end of which was a cruel and bloody crucifixion. Are we Christ's disciple unless we are willing to follow him in this particular? We are not our own. Wo are bought with a price."

When that Sunday service closed, Calvary church was stirred to its depths. There were more excited people talking together all over the church than Philip had ever seen before. lie 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 after the sermon and decided to have an instant conference with the pastor.

CHAPTER XIII.

The door of the classroom was closed, and Philip and the trustees were together. There was a moment of embarrassing silence, and then the spokesman 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 tnd talk it over." "It's simply impossible," spoke up one o* the trustees. "In the first place. It Is impracticable as a business proposition." "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"—

At that moment the sexton knocked at the door and said a man was outside very anxious to see the minister and have bim come down to his house. There had been an accident or a fight or something. Sortie one was dying and wanted Mr. Strong at once. So Philip hastily excused himself and Trent out, leaving the trustees together.

The door was hardly shut again when the speaker who had been interrupted jumped to his feet and exclaimed: "As I was saying, for my part If Brother Strong wishes to indulge in this eccentric action he will not have the sanction of my vote in the matter. It certainly is an entirely unheard of and uncalled for proposition." "Mr. Strong has no doubt a generous motive in this proposed action," said a third member of the board, "but the church certainly will not approve any such step as the giving up of the parsonage. He exaggerates the need of Buch a sacrifice. I think we ought to reason him out of the idea." "We called Mr. Strong to the pastorate of Calvary church," said another, "and it seems to me he came under the coflSFtibns gTMTOT TQ" 3OT" CSin For the church to allow such an absurd thing as the giving up of the parsonage to this proposed outside work would be a

very unwise move." "Yes, and more than that," said the first speaker, "I want to say very frankly that 1 am growing tired of the way things have gone since Mr. Strong came to us. What business has Calvary church with ail these outside matters, these labor troubles and unemployed men and all the other mat­

ters that have been made the suojelT of preaching lately? 1 want a minister who looks after his own parish. Mr. Strong does not call,on his own people. He lias not been inside my house but once since lie came to Milton. Brethren, there is a growing feeling of discontent over this matter." I There was a short pause, and then one of the members said: "Surely if Mr. Strong feels dissatisfied with his surroundings in the parsonage or feels avs if his work lay in another direction he is at liberty to choose another parish. But he is tln^ finest pulpit minister we ever had, ami no one doubts his entire sincerity. He is a remarkable liian in many respects." "Yes. but sincerity may bo a very awkward thing earned 'too lar. And in this matter of the parsonage I don't see how the trustees can allow it. Why. what would the other churches think of it? Calvary church cannot allow anything of the kind for the sake of its reputation. But 1 would like to hear

Mr. Winter's opinion. He lias not spoken yet." The rest turned to the mill owner, who, as chairman of the board, usually had much to say and was regarded as a shrewd and careful business adviser. In the excitement of the occasion and discussion the usual formalities of a regular board meeting had been ignored. I Mr. Winter was evidently embarrassed. Hi? had listened to the discussion of the minister with his head bent I down and his thoughts in a whirl of emotion both for and against the pasI tor. Ilis naturally inclined business habits contended against the proposiI tion to give up the parsonage. Ilis feelings of gratitude to the minister fur his personal help the night of the attack by the mob rose up to defend him.

There was with it all an undercurrent of self administered rebuke that the pastor had set: the whole church an cxample of usefulness. lie wondered how many of the members would voluniarily give up half their incomes for the good of humanity. lie wondered in a confused way how much he would give up himself. Philip's sermon had made a real impression on him. 1 "There is one point we have not discussed yet." he said at last, "anil that is Mr. Strong's offer of half his salary to carry on the- work of a ch'ildren's refuge or something of that kind." "How can we accept such an offer?

Calvary church has always believed in paying its minister a good salary and paying it promptly, and we want our minister to live decently and be able to appear as lie should among the best people," replied the nervous little man I who had been tirst to speak. "Still, we cannot deny that it is a very generous thing for Mr. Strong to do. He certainly is entitled to credit for his unselfish proposal. No one can charge him with being worldly minded," said Mr. Winter,. feeling a new interest in the subject as he found himself defending the minister. "Are you in favor of allowing him to do what he proposes in the matter of the parsonage?" asked another. "I don't see that we can hinder Mr. I Strong from living anywhere he I pleases if lie -wants to. The church cannot compel him to live in the parsonage." "No. but it can choose not to have such a minister!" exclaimed the tirst speaker again cxcitedly. "ami for one am most -decidedly opposed to the whole thing. 1 do not see how the church can allow it and maintain its self respect." "Do you think the church is ready to tell Mr. Strong that his services are not wanted any longer?" asked Mr.

Winter coldly. "I am, for one of the members, and I know others who feel as I do if matters go on in this way much longer. 1 tell you, Brother Winter, Calvary church is very near a crisis. Look at the Goldens and the Malverns and the Albergs. They are all leaving us, and the plain reason is the nature of the preaching. Why, you know yourself, Brother Winter, that never has the pulpit of Calvary church heard such preaching on people's private, affairs."

Mr. Winter colored and replied angrily: "What has that to do with this present matter? Tf the minister wants to live in a simpler style, I don't see what business we have to stop it. As to the disposition of the parsonage, that is a matter of business which rests with the church to arrange."

The nervous, irritable little man who had spoken oftenest rose to his feet and exclaimed: "You can count me out of all this, then. I wash my hands of the whole affair." And he went out of the roum, leaving the rest of the board somewhat surprised at his sudden departure.

They remained about a quarter of an hour longer discussing the matter, and finally, at Mr. Winter's suggestion, a committee wa3 appointed to go and see the minister the next evening and see if he could not be persuaded to modify or change his proposition made in the morning sermon. The rest of the trustees insisted that Mr. Winter himself should act as chairman of the committee, and after some remonstrance he finally, with great reluctance, agreed to do so.

So Philip next evening, aa he sat in his study mapping out the week's work and wondering a little what the church would do in the face of his proposal, received the committee, welcoming them in his bright, hearty manner. He had been notified on Sunday evening of the approaching conference. The committee consisted of Mr. Winter and two other members of the board.

Mr. Winter opened the conversation with considerable embarrassment and an evident reluctance for his share in the matter. "Mr. Strong, we have come, as you are aware, to talk over your proposition of yesterday morning concerning

THE ('RA\VF0I'I)SV1I,[,K WEEKLY JOURNAL.

the parsonage. It was a great surprise to us all." Philip smiled a little. "Mrs. Strong says 1 act too much on impulse and do not. prepare people enough for my statements. But one of the greatest men I ever knew used to say that an Impulse was a good tiling to obey instantly if there was no doubt of its being a right one." "And do vou consider this proposed move of yours a right one, Mr. Strong?" asked Mr. Winter. "1'do,'' replied Philip, with quiet.emphasis. 'i do not regret -making it, and I believe it is my duty to abide by my original decision." "Do you mean that you intend actually to move out of this parsonage?" asked one of the other members of the committee. "Yes." Philip said it so quietly and yet so decidedly that: the men were silent a moment. Then Mr. Winter said: "Mr. Strong 'tlif^"tiiattoi- is li!cly' ti cause trouble in the church, and we might as well understand it frankly. Tlio trustees believe that as the parsonage belongs to the church property and was built for the minister he ought to live in it. The church will not understand your desire to move out." "Do you understand it, Mr. Winter?" Philip put the question poiut blank. "No, 1 don't know that I do wholly." Mr. Winter colored and replied in a hesitating manner. "I gave my reasons yesterday morning. 1 do not know that I can make them plainer. The truth is 1 cannot go on preaching to ni.v people about living on a simpler basis while 1 continue to live in surroundings that on the face of them contradict my own convictions. In other words, I am living beyond my necessities here. 1 have lived all my life surrounded by the luxuries of civilization. If now I desire to give these benefits to those who have never enjoyed them or to know from nearer contact something of the bitter struggle of the poor, why should I be hindered from putting that desire into practical form?" "The question is, Mr. Strong."'said one of the other trustees, "whether this is the best way to get fit it. We do not miration vnur sincerilv nor doubt your honesty, but will your leaving the parsonage and living in a less expensive house on half your present salary help your church work or reach mort people and save more souls?" "I am glad you put it that way," exclaimed Philip, eagerly turning to the speaker. "That is just it. Will my proposed move result in bringing the church and the minister into closer and more vital relations with the people most in need of spiritual and physical uplifting? Out of tlie depths of my nature I believe it will. The chasm between the church and the people in these days must be bridged by the spirit of sacrifice in material things, it is in vain for us to preach spiritual truths unless wo live physical truths. What the world is looking "for"today are object lessons iu self denial, on the part of Christian people."

For a moment no one spoke. Then Mr. Winter said: "About your proposal that this house be turned into a refuge or home for homeless children, Mr. Strong, do you consider that idea practicable? is it business? is it possible?" "I believe it. is. very decidedly. The number of homeless and vagrant children at present in Milton would astonish you. Thi-, house could be put into beautiful shape as a detention house until homes could be found for the children in Christian families." "It would lake a great deal of money to manage it." "Yes," replied Philip, with a sadness which had its cause deep within him, "it would cost something. But can the world be saved cheaply? Does not every soul saved cost an immense sum, if not of money at least of an equivalent? Is it possible for us to get at the heart of the great social problem without feeling tlie need of using all our powers to solve it rightly?"

Mr. Winter shook his head. He did not understand tlie minister. His action and his words were both foreign to the mill owner's regular business habits of thought and performance. "What will you do, Mr. Strong, if the church refuses to listen to this proposed plan of yours?" "I suppose," answered Philip after a little pa«jse, "the church will not object to my living in another house at my own charges?" "They have no right to compel you to li~ here." Mr. Winter turned to the other members of the committee. "I said so at our previous meeting. Gentlemen, am I not right in that?" "It is not a question of our compelling Mr. Strong to live here," said one of the others. "It is a question of the church's expecting him to do so. It is the parsonage and the church home for the minister. In my opinion it will cause trouble if Mr. Strong moves out. People will not understand it." "That is my belief, too, Mr. Strong," said Mr. Winter. "It would be better for you to modify or change or, better still, to abandon this plan. It will not be understood and will cause trouble." "Suppose the church should rent the parsonage then," suggested Philip. "It would then be getting a revenue from the property. That, with the thousand dollars on my salary, could be wisely and generously used to relieve much suffering in Milton this winter. The church could easily rent the house."

That was true, as the parsonage stood on one of the most desirable parts of street and would command good rental. "Then you persist in this plan of yours, do you, Mr. Strong?" asked the third member of the committee, who had for the most part been silent. "Yes I consider that under tho circumstances, local and universal, it is my duty. Where I propose to go is a bouse TyJiicJi I can get for $8 a month.

It is near the tenement district and uoi so far from the church and this neii'h borhood that 1 need be isolated too much from my church family."

Mr. Winter looked serious and perplexed. The oilier trustees looked dissatisfied. It was evident they regarded the whole thing with disfavor.

Mr. Winter rose abruptly. lie could not avoid a feeling of anger in spite of liits obligation to the minister, lie also had a vivid recollection of his former interview with the pastor in that study. And yet he struggled with the vague resistance against the feeling that Philip was proposing to do a thing that: could result in only one way—of suffering for himself. With all the rest went a suppressed but conscious emotion of wonder that a man would of his own free will give up a luxurious home for the sake of any one. "The matter of reduction of salary. Mr. Strong, will have to come before the church. The trustees cannot vote to accept your proposal. I am very much mistaken if the members of Calvary church will not oppose the reduction. You can see how it would place us in an unfavoiable light." "Not necessarily, Mr. Winter," said Philip eagerly. "If the church will simply regard it as my own great desire and as one of the ways by which we may help forward our work in Mil ton, I am sure we need have no fear of being put in a false light. The church does not propose this reduction. It comes from me and in a time of peculiar emergency, both financial and social. It: is a thing which has been done several times by other ministers." "That may lie. Still, 1 am positive Calvary church will regard it as unnecessary and will oppose it." "It will not make any difference practically," replied Philip, with a smile. "1 can easily dispose of a thousand dollars where it is needed by others more than by inc. But. I would prefer that the church would actually pay out the money to tlieni rather than myself."

Mr. Winter and the other trustees looked at Philip in wonder, and with a few words of farewell they left the parsonage.

CHAPTER XIV.

The following week Calvary church held a meeting. It was one of the stormiest meetings ever held by the members. In that meeting Mr. Winter again, to the surprise of nearly all, advised caution and defended the minister's action up to a certain point. The result was a condition of waiting and expectancy rather than downright condemnation of the proposed action on Philip's part. It would be presenting the church in a false light to picture it as entirely opposed up to this date to Philip's preaching and ideas of Christian living. lie had built up a strong buttress of admiring and believing members in the church. This stood, with Mr. Winter's influence, as a breakwater against the tidal wave of opposition now beginning to pour in upon him. There was an element in Calvary church conservative to a degree and yet strong in its growing belief that Christian adion and church work in the world had reached a certain crisis which would result either iu tlie death or life of the church in America. Philip's preaching hnd strengthened this feeling. Ilis last move had startled this element, and it wished to wait for developments. The proposal of some that tlie minister be requested to resign was finally overruled, and it was decided not to oppose his desertion of the parsonage, while the snatti'r of reduction of sal ary was voted upon in the negative.

But feeling was roused to a high pitch. Many of the members declared their intention of refusing to attend services. Some said they would not pay their pledges any longer. A prevailing minority, however, ruled in favor of Philip, and the action of the meeting was formally sent him by the clerk.

Meanwhile Philip moved out of the parsonage into his new quarters. The daily paper, which had given a sensational account of his sermon, laying most stress upon his voluntary proposition referring to his salary, now came out with a column and a half devoted to his carrying out of his determination to abandon the parsonage and get nearer the people In the tenements. Tne article was widely copied and variously commented upon. In Milton his action wa^ condemned by many, defended by some. Very few seemed to understand his exact motive. The majority took it as an eccentric move and expressed regret iu one form and another that a man of such marked intellectual power as Mr. Strong seemed to possess lacked balance aud good judgment. Some called him a crank. The people in the tenement district were too much absorbed in their sufferings and selfishness to show any demonstration. It remained to be seen whether they would be any better touched by him in his now home.

So matters stood when the first Sunday of a new month came and Mr. Strong again stood before his church with his Christ message. It had been a wearing month to him. Gradually there had been growing upon him a sense of almost isolation in his pulpit work. He wondered if he had interpreted Christ aright. He probed deeper and deeper into the springs of action thatmoved the historical Jesus and again nd again put that resplendently calm, majestic, suffering personality into his own pulpit in Milton and then stood off, as it were, to watch what he would in all human probability say. He reviewed all his own sayings on those first Sundays and tried to tax himself with utmost severity for any denial of his Master or any false presentation of his spirit, and as he went over the ground he was almost overwhelmed to think how little had been really accomplished. This time he came before the church with the experience of nearly three weeks' hand to hand work among the people for whose sake he. had moved out of the

parsonage. As usual an immense congregation thronged the church. "The question lias come to me lately in different forms," began Philip. to what is church work. I atr. aware that my attitude on the question is not' shared by many of the members of this church and other churches. Nevertheless 1 stand here today, as I have stood on these Sundays, to declare tf» you what in deepest, humility woulii seem to me to be the attitude of Christ: in the ma tier before us. "What is a church? It is a body of disciples professing to acknowledge Christ as Master. What, does he waiu such a body to do? Whatever will most effectively make Coil's kingdom come on earth and his will be done iu heaven. What is the most necessary work of this church iu Milfcottf It is to go out and seek and inrre Mm lost. It is to take up its cross and follow the Master. And as I see him today he beckons this church to follow him into the tenements and slums ot this town and be Chnsts lo those who do not. know him. As 1 see him lw stands beckoning with pierced paimt in t.ho direction of suffering and dif, ease and ignorance and vice aud paganism. saying, 'Here is where tin:work- of Calvary church lies.' I do not believe the work of this church consists in having so many meetings aud socials and pleasant gatherings and delightful occasions among its own members, but the real work of this church-, consists in getting out of its own little Circle in which it has been so many years moving and going In an.t way most effective to the world'? wounded to bind up the hurt and be a. savior lo the lost. If we do not understand this to be tIK* true meaning of church work, then I believe we inisp, its whole meaning. Church work

LE

Milton today does not consist In doing simply what your fathers did before you. It. means helping lo make cleaner town, the purification of our municipal lfl'e, the actual planning and accomplishment of means to relieve physical distress, a thorough understanding of the problem of labor and capital—in brief, church work today in this town is whatever is most needed to be dono to prove to this town that we are what we profess ourselves to be, disciples of Jesus Christ. That is the reason I give more time t» the tenement district problem than to calling on families that are well aund in possession of great comforts and privileges. Tlitic is the reason I call on tills chiH'ch to do Christ's work In his name and give Itself to save that part of our town."

This is but the briefest of tbe sketches of Philip's sermon. It was a. part of himself, his experience, his heart belief. He poured it out on the vast audience with little saving of his vitality. And that Sunday lie went home at night exhausted, with a feeling of weariness partly due to Ins work during the week among the people. The calls upon his time ami strength had been incessant, and hi', did not know where or when to stop.

It was three weeks after this sermon on church work that Philip wan again surprised by Ills strange visitor of a month before. He had been out making some visits in company witte his wife. When they came back to thehouse, there sat the Brother Man ro the doorstop.

At sight of him Philip felt that sam? thrill of expectancy which hnd passed over him at his former appearance.

The old man stood up and took off his hat. He looked very tired and sorrowful. But there breathed from 111* entire bearing the element of a perfect peace. "Brother Man," said Philip cheerily, "come in and rest yourself." "Can you keep me overnight?"

The question was put wistfully. Philip was struck by the difference' between this almost shrinking request! and the self iuvitation of a month before. "Yes, indeed. We have one spare room for you. You are welcome. Come In."
