bott, of this place, left Peoria, ILL.,, few
months ago to practice law in Puerto
Rico. His father has just received let
ter from him in which he describes how
he won his first case. He was called
upon to defend a native charged with
murder and cleared his client. The ma.

the case that they raised a purse oil 500
American dollars and presented it to Mr..
Abbott as a token of their appre.

But why? Are we not really to follow

The Rev Calvin Bruce, D. D., Of the
Nazareth Avenue church, Chicago. let
his pen fall on the paper He had come
to the parting Of the ways, and his
question, he felt sure, was the question
of many and many a man in the min
istry and in the church He went to his
window and opened it. He was OPP
pressed with the weight of his convic-
tons, and he felt almost suffocated with
the air of the room He wanted to see
the stars and feel the breath of the
world
The night was very still The clock
in the First church was striking mid
night AS it finished clear, strong
voice down in the direction of the Rec
tangle came floating up to him as if
borne on radiant pinions
'Must Jesus bear the cross alone
And all the world go free9
No. There's cross for every one,
And there's cross for me-"
It was the voice of one of Gray's old
converts, a night Waterman at the
packing houses, who sometimes solaced
his lonesome hours by verse or two
from some familiar hymn
The Rev Calvin Bruce turned away
from the window, and after a little
hesitation he kneeled down "What
would Jesus do? What would Jesus
dor Never had he yielded himself so
completely to the Spirits searching re-
vealing of Jesus He was on his knees a
long time He retired and slept fitfully
with many awakenings He rose before
it was clear dawn and threw open his
window again AS the light in the east
grew stronger he repeated to himself
"What would Jesus do7 What would
he dor Shall follow his steps?''
The sun rose and flooded the city
with its power When shall the dawn
of a new discipleship usher in the con
quering triumph of closer walk with
Jesusl When shall Christendom tread
more closely the path he made2
II is the way the Master trod
Shall not the servant tread it still?
With this question throbbing through
his whole being the Rev Calvin Bruce
went back to Chicago, and the grea
crisis of his Christian life in the min
istry suddenly broke irresistibly upol
him.
