[In His Steps by Charles M. Sheldon]@TWC D-Link bookIn His Steps CHAPTER Eight 17/24
Why don't we all act together against it? Why don't the Christian pastors and the church members of Raymond move as one man against the traffic? What would Jesus do? Would He keep silent? Would He vote to license these causes of crime and death ?" He was talking to himself more than to the others.
He remembered that he had always voted for license, and so had nearly all his church members.
What would Jesus do? Could he answer that question? Would the Master preach and act against the saloon if He lived today? How would He preach and act? Suppose it was not popular to preach against license? Suppose the Christian people thought it was all that could be done to license the evil and so get revenue from the necessary sin? Or suppose the church members themselves owned the property where the saloons stood--what then? He knew that those were the facts in Raymond.
What would Jesus do? He went up into his study the next morning with that question only partly answered.
He thought of it all day.
