"The gentleman's motion is not in order, unless in the form of an
amendment," said Deacon Bates.
"Mr. Hopper's suggestion that this beatitude was given before the
atonement was made," said young Mr. Waggett, "is so original and
so full of practical interest that I should like to hear a further
discussion of the subject, if only to see whether this point cannot be
substantiated—or, rather, whether it can be successfully opposed."
President Lottson leaned over the back of young Mr. Waggett's chair,
and whispered:
"Don't make an ass of yourself. I can see where this thing is bound
to lead us, if you can't; vote the other way when the question is
put."
A moment or two of silence ensued, and then Deacon Bates put the
question to vote. A strong response of "Ay!" was soon followed by
an equally noisy "No!" and some one called for a rising vote. Up rose
Judge Cottaway, Squire Woodhouse, Broker Whilcher, Mr. Radley,
Principal Alleman, Mr. Buffle, Lawyer Scott, Dr. Fahrenglotz, and
Captain Maile, nine in all, while for the negative there were but
seven votes, Mr. Bungfloat and young Banty keeping their seats
during both votes, the former with a helpless expression of
countenance, and the latter with a contemptuous smile.
"The ayes have it," said the leader, and Builder Stott, who, until that
moment, had listened at the key-hole, hurried off to Dr. Humbletop's
class-room and stated that the club was determined on carrying free
speech into the ground and the club with it.
"Mark my words," said the builder, "the Scripture Club is as good as
dead."
The discussion was opened by Judge Cottaway, according to the
special request of the founder of the club, and the old jurist spoke as
follows:
"Estimated according to the rules of evidence, the requirement for
righteousness never ends in the Holy Scriptures, and never can end
while the Church hold the revealed will of God as an authoritative
rule of guidance. The law was the topic of lawgivers, prophets, the
Psalmist, the wise Solomon, and all of them regarded it as the only
substitute for the personal presence and command of God. Christ
never failed to hold it up for reverence and obedience, excepting
when minor points of it were of less vital importance than that of
those for whose direction it was given."
"That's it, exactly," interrupted Mr. Jodderel. "The law was made for
man, not man for the law, and when man can't live according to the
law, the law must give way, as it did by express command when
Christ condemned the Jews for rebuking the disciples when they
plucked corn on the Sabbath day."
"I imagine that it was more for the sake of rebuking hypocrisy than
to defend the improvidence of his disciples that Christ spoke as he
did on the occasion referred to," said the judge. "But he declared the
binding force of the law more than once, and he not only urged it
upon the people, but increased its scope and severity by explaining
that obedience should not be only to the letter, but to the spirit of
the heavenly commands. Mercy, love, and compassion are not at all
inconsistent with the closest application of the law, though men have
strangely come to imagine that they are. In this same matchless
sermon we are studying you will find his definition of some methods
of violating the seventh commandment. The spiritual rule from which
Christ deduced these conclusions may be applied to all the other
commandments with results equally startling. 'Thou shalt not steal,'
is the simple letter of the eighth commandment, but according to
the new method prescribed by Christ for the translation of the law
according to Moses, to deprive a man of his peace, of his patience,
of his faith in mankind, even if done in ways permissible in business
circles, is as truly theft as is the depriving a man of his money by
actual robbery. And as I am a member of the bar, as I have been a
law-maker, and an adjudicator of legal questions, I feel that I am
severe upon no one more than my own old self, when I say that to
recover the amount of a debt by legal means which compel the
debtor to part with property of value several times greater than that
of the property upon which the debt is based, is theft of the most
heinous description, for even under the most merciful construction of
the most careless law, the only theft at all pardonable is that of
small amounts in cases of dire necessity; whereas my experience in
legal collections is that not once in a hundred times are they made
excepting of men in the direst distress, and of utter inability to pay."
"But Christ mercifully forbore to give such interpretations to all the
commandments," said Mr. Jodderel, "and I have always thought his
refraining from doing so was one of the sure proofs of his divinity. Of
course he saw the people around him—his own disciples, even—
doing hundreds of things that were wrong; but he knew their
natures were too feeble to live up to the holy ideas which were
natural enough to Him, so he said little, except to exhort them to sin
no more."
"Very true," said the judge, "but since then the Christian world has
had the benefit of nearly twenty centuries of growth under the
instructions of Christ. Men have grown less animal, more intellectual;
less brutal, more spiritual. The passions and appetites that once
seemed uncontrollable have come more and more under restraint
under the influence of generations of right living. Men nowadays
endure physical discipline from which the ascetics of Christ's time, or
even of the middle ages, would have shrunk with fear. The world is
lamentably full of wickedness and weakness, but it has now what it
did not have when Moses gave his law—it has in every community
one or more men who show by right living what a perfect control
man may exert over his lower faculties, or, rather, over the lower
developments of faculties which in the clearer light of to-day develop
into noble virtues. But the stronger sins die hardest, so to-day we
find, in communities where murder is unheard of, Sabbath-breaking
unknown, profanity unspoken, and the greater crimes mentioned in
the Decalogue seldom or never brought to light—in such localities
we find the greed of gain made the excuse of unfair dealings
between man and man; it stirs up strife more vicious than that
which took place when the civilized world was one grand camp, and
when to kill a man for his possessions was a deed praiseworthy
rather than otherwise, especially when the victim might, with any
excuse, be called an enemy."
"One might suppose, from the judge's remarks, that the world had
but one sin—and only one virtue," said Mr. Jodderel.
"According to Scripture," exclaimed the judge, "there is but one
virtue, for it includes all others. Its name is Love—will the gentleman
remember that the assertion is Christ's, and not mine? There is more
than one sin, truly; but not one of the dreadful number could exist
were the one virtue practiced as it should be. And this brings me
back to the leading idea of the lesson, from which I have
unintentionally been diverted toward specialties. And yet, I know not
how better to explain the nature of righteousness according to the
law, than to continue in use the illustration that I have been using—
the treatment, by each other, of men in their business affairs. For
there are but few relations of men that cannot be classified under
business heads. By implication, sins against self and nature belong in
the same category, for the man who impairs in any way his own
physical and mental capital, injures to a greater or less extent the
whole community in which he resides. To save man and to bless him
is the whole aim of the law, for it is only by man in his proper
condition that God can be fully glorified. Thus regarded, the way of
righteousness can never seem hard, tiresome, or narrow—it is rather
the only highway which is always delightful. The promise given,
therefore, in this beatitude is the most precious in the whole Bible,
for there is no good it does not include, nor any evil which it does
not help us to shun."
"That's the first satisfactory description I ever heard of the law,"
remarked Mr. Radley. "I wonder why other men—preachers, even—
never talk about it in the same way."
"They'd lose all their wealthy pew-holders if they did," answered
Captain Maile.
"Not all," said Mr. Buffle, "at least, not if I'm as well off in this
world's goods as I think I am. And I don't propose to forget what I
have heard."
"It is very evident, however," said President Lottson, "that Christ
knew that this idea of the law—which I admit to be as sound as it is
beautiful—could never be fulfilled by man, or he would never have
considered it necessary to make an atonement for sin, and urge
people to accept it, instead of trying to be saved by righteousness
alone. The gentleman lays great stress upon the failings of business
men. They exist about as he has painted them, but had he spent his
own life in business instead of among the abstractions of a learned
profession, he would see the other side of the case, which is that
business is selfish, that it cannot be otherwise, and that man's only
hope lies in Christ's promises."
"Only hope of what?" asked Squire Woodhouse.
"Of salvation, of course," replied the president.
"Then, what about the world?" asked Mr. Radley. "Is nothing to be
done here for God—and man? Did we come into the world for no
purpose but to get out of it in the best shape we can? Has God no
purposes to fulfill here, or did he only make this wonderful
combination of beauty and utility, that we call the world, to be a
mere stage for blundering and wrong-doing?"
"No," answered young Mr. Waggett; "it is to fit us all for entrance to
the glorious company of angels, prophets, and martyrs."
"We had better all die in infancy then," said Mr. Radley, "before
we've been unfitted for such society, and been compelled to begin all
over again. What a contemptible blunderer God must be, if the
common religious idea of the use of the world is correct!"
"Gentlemen," said Mr. Alleman, "it seems to me that this class has by
this time plainly indicated its religious measure. We have met
together many times; we have expressed our own views, and
listened to many others; we have individually indicated considerable
ability and ingenuity; but I am unable to discover that even a
respectable minority have changed their beliefs. Of the sincerity of
belief of those who have spoken there can be no doubt; but
something more than ability and sincerity is necessary to retain
usefulness for a body of men, who are determined to approach
intellectually no nearer to each other. As we cannot agree
intellectually, why can we not do so morally, and establish for the
class a higher motive than can be furnished by religious curiosity or
tenacity of special theological opinions? Free speech has been the
distinctive feature of the class, but all that freedom of expression
can gain for us has already been gained. Why cannot we, therefore,
form a new and solemn compact that we will, each one according to
his own special religious belief and light, strictly order our lives
according to the moral ideas which we all admit are found in the
Bible and are above criticism?"
"What!" exclaimed Mr. Jodderel, "and turn a religious organization
into a society for the encouragement of mere morality? None for
me!"
"I should consider such a course as religiously suicidal, if not
blasphemous," declared Mr. Prymm.
"The man who does it can bid good-bye to his property," said Mr.
Hopper, "and I, for one, am determined to give a good account of
my stewardship."
"He can bid good-bye to his chance of salvation, too," said young Mr.
Waggett, "if he's not going to think more of it than he does of mere
morality."
"Good-bye to his fun, too," suggested young Mr. Banty.
"If we cannot leave all to follow Him," remarked Deacon Bates, who
had once felt himself called to mission work, but successfully
resisted the call, "it would certainly be unseemly to do so for the
sake of mere worldly righteousness."
"'Twould revolutionize society," said Lawyer Scott, "and no man
should attempt such a thing without the most careful preparation."
"Doesn't Herbert Spencer say something about morality being at the
top of everything?" asked Mr. Buffle of Broker Whilcher.
"Ye—es," said the broker; "but he considers that it's wrong to
sacrifice one's business, as I'd have to do to live according to the
plan suggested."
"If Christ had intended that morality should have been so much,"
said President Lottson, "he would have talked more about it, and
less about other things. He knew what the world needed, what it
could stand, and what it couldn't."
"As if he wasn't all the while insisting upon morality," exclaimed Mr.
Alleman. "Captain Maile, you're certainly with us! You've always
talked as if you were."
The captain made a wry face.
"I've talked against hypocrisy—that's what I've done," said he. "I've
got no special religious belief myself, but I hate to see holes in those
of other people."
"I," said Dr. Fahrenglotz, "would yield adherence to such a system,
were it not that men disagree as to what morality is, and I do not
wish to subject myself to any arbitrary rule or agreement. The soul
of man should be free."
Judge Cottaway arose and gave his hand to Mr. Alleman, and several
members affected to consider this action as a sign that the meeting
had adjourned. The party dispersed more rapidly than it had ever
done before, and left the judge, the principal, the Squire, Mr. Buffle,
and Mr. Radley talking to each other.
 CHAPTER XI.
CONCLUSION.

When next the Scripture Club convened there were visible some
vacant places. Mr. Alleman was not there, and Mr. Prymm had
betaken himself to Dr. Humbletop's class, where he might study the
Word of God without perplexing annoyances from those who could
not, for even an hour in a week, and that hour on the Sabbath day,
let the world out of their thoughts. Several of the members had
endeavored to dissuade Mr. Prymm from his intention, but he
remained firm. Broker Whilcher went back to his Unitarian brethren,
but even among them he was noted as having lost his old interest in
the brotherhood of man and the rights of humanity. Young Mr. Banty
drifted off to nowhere in particular; but for weeks he told to every
irreligious acquaintance the story of the difficulties in the Scripture
Club, and great was the sinful hilarity excited thereby.
The difference of opinion on the subject of righteousness had upon
the class an effect so peculiar that Dr. Fahrenglotz did not hesitate to
express an opinion that free speech was a dead letter, and he
thereafter took pains to absent himself from the company of the
assumed custodians thereof, although he was frequently and
earnestly besought to favor the club with the pure logical aspect of
questions, the import of which the members had first obscured by
much sophistry.
Judge Cottaway, Squire Woodhouse, Principal Alleman, Mr. Radley,
and the founder of the class contracted a habit of meeting informally
at each other's residence, and as subscription papers increased in
numbers soon after, there was little or no curiosity manifested by
their late associates to know what was talked about at these
meetings. It was a noteworthy fact, and the subject of much dismal
head-shaking among the churchly, that these five men represented
four different denominations, and that they finally deprived Father
McGarry's flock of a member who had several times listened to the
discussions of the club in its earlier days, whom they failed to
provide with a new denominational faith in place of his old one.
As for Captain Maile, he was thereafter the most shamefaced and
silent man at Valley Rest. He was by no means the first man who
had mistaken the critical faculty for character; but he was not a man
of large information in the history of the world outside of Valley Rest,
so he spent several years of his life in indignant yet humble self-
questionings as to his peculiar mental organization. He finally
admitted to himself that to keep his fault-finding disposition under
control, he must devote more persistent attention to it than he had
ever given his better self before. Several years later he identified
himself closely with all the practical work of the Second Church, and
distinguished himself as being the man of all others who could
accept advice without showing impatience.
But the remainder of the club remained faithful, and they devoted
themselves to study with an earnestness that was simply
magnificent. They would divide each lesson into sections, and assign
a section to each member, which member would in turn collect and
present to the class all available information upon the subject, and
some of the young lady attendants pronounced some of these
addresses more interesting than sermons. Mr. Jodderel naturally took
in charge all topics relating to the future state of existence, and as
the class imposed no arbitrary distinctions as to time, he found no
cause to complain. To President Lottson fell the duty of enlightening
the class upon the geography of Palestine, and so thoroughly did he
do his work that one of his papers was asked for publication, and
copies of it were accepted with thanks by several learned societies.
Mr. Prymm, who finally came back to the class after having been
assured that for months it had discussed no subject not purely
scriptural, made some remarks upon the atonement which were
finally collected in a volume entitled "A Layman's Views of Christ's
Great Work," and the book received many carefully worded non-
committal notices from the religious press, though the bulk of the
edition still remains in the storehouse of the publisher. Young Mr.
Waggett kept an observant eye for all topics bearing literally upon
the subject of salvation. Mr. Hopper found at last an opportunity to
read his long-cherished essay upon "The True Location of the Holy
Sepulchre," with many notes, suggestions, and emendations by
himself. And the class grew in membership and in the number of
listeners, and there was never heard in it a personality or a revival of
old disputes which had time and again rended the church. Nothing
was said in its whole subsequent history which could cast discredit
upon the daily life of any member, or cause Satan to feel any serious
apprehensions for the continued activity of his own business.
