Answer:

Explanation:

Henry Maxwell paced his study back and forth. It was Wednesday and he had started to think out the subject of his evening service which fell upon that night.

    Out of one of his study windows he could see the tall chimney of the railroad shops. The top of the evangelist's tent just showed over the buildings around the Rectangle.

    He looked out of his window every time he turned in his walk. After a while he sat down at his desk and drew a large piece of paper toward him.

    After thinking several moments he wrote in large letters the following:

A NUMBER OF THINGS THAT JESUS

WOULD PROBABLY DO IN THIS PARISH.

    1. Live in a simple, plain manner, without needless luxury on the one hand or undue asceticism on the other.

    2. Preach fearlessly to the hypocrites in the church no matter what their social importance or wealth.

    3. Show in some practical form sympathy and love for the common people as well as for the well to do, educated, refined people who make up the majority of the parish.

    4. Identify himself with the great causes of Humanity in some personal way that would call for self-denial and suffering.

    5. Preach against the saloon in Raymond.

    6. Become known as a friend and companion of the sinful people in the Rectangle.

    7. Give up the summer trip to Europe this year. (I have been abroad twice and cannot claim any special need of rest. I am well, and could forego this pleasure, using the money for someone who needs a vacation more than I do. There are probably plenty of such people in the city.)

    He was conscious, with a humility that was once a stranger to him, that his outline of Jesus' probable action was painfully lacking in depth and power, but he was seeking carefully for concrete shapes into which he might cast his thought of Jesus' conduct. Nearly every point he had put down meant, for him, a complete overturning of the custom and habit of years in the ministry. In spite of that, he still searched deeper for sources of the Christ-like spirit. He did not attempt to write any more, but sat at his desk absorbed in his effort to catch more and more the spirit of Jesus in his own life. He had forgotten the particular subject for his prayer meeting with which he had begun his morning study.

    He was so absorbed over his thought that he did not hear the bell ring and he was roused by the servant, who announced a caller. He had sent up his name, Mr. Gray.

    Maxwell stepped to the head of the stairs and asked Gray to come up.

    So Gray came up and stated the reason for his call.

    "I want your help, Mr. Maxwell. Of course you have heard what a wonderful meeting we had Monday night and last night. Miss Winslow has done more with her voice than I could do, and the tent won't hold the people."

    "I've heard of that. It is the first time the people there have heard her. It is no wonder they are attracted."

    "It has been a wonderful revelation to us, and a most encouraging event in our work. But I came to ask if you could not come down to-night and preach. I am suffering from a severe cold. I do not dare to trust my voice again. I know it is asking a good deal from such a busy man. But if you can't come, say so frankly, and I'll try somewhere else."

    "I'm sorry, but it's my regular prayer meeting night," began Henry Maxwell. Then he flushed and added, "I shall be able to arrange it in some way so as to come down. You can count on me."
