Scores of newspapermen have become enthusiastic disciples. A movement is on foot already to establish a daily newspaper owned and controlled by Christian men and women which shall be the organ of universal Christianity. Such a paper, it must be acknowledged, is perfectly feasible, and under the impetus of the present feeling would no doubt receive large support over the entire country.

The ministers and churches all over the city are rejoicing and full of hope. Jesus, according to his regular custom, is preaching in some pulpit every Sunday and holding conferences with influential leaders of all denominations. His appeal for church federation is irresistible. When once this union is effected, the saloon and vice will meet their ultimate disaster. New forces are being realized by the church every day, and never in all its history did New York face such possibilities for a new and powerful redemptive change.

An attempt was made last night to locate Jesus after he left the opera house. It is said this morning that he is spending much time in the ghetto. Several persons report they have seen him east of Lenox Avenue in Harlem, and several others tell of seeing him in the Bronx and at Brownsville in Brooklyn.

There seems to brood a spirit of mystery and power over this city at present. What will come of it all? Who can tell? Society is deeply stirred. Men’s hearts are full of questions not yet answered.

The man moves among others like an average, common man. At a little meeting found yesterday where he was counseling with a feeble church, people said he joined in the simple lunch prepared by the young people of the Endeavour Society as if he were one of them, and laughed and showed plain human humor that made him seem like one of their own number.

And yet last night he revealed certain traits that no one can deny make him a most extraordinary character. The very air is seemingly alive with hints of his presence and influence. He is actually among men, living their common life and helping them to make new history. It is not the same city it was before he came.

And on every tongue, businessmen, newspaper editors, laborers, society people, foreigners, drivers of trucks, the heavy-hearted and the exultant, rich and poor, the ignorant and the learned, from all comes the same exclamation—“Jesus is here!” The future has many startling and wonderful possibilities. Who can foresee or foretell them?

Mr. Maxwell finished the reading. All of them were silent after it. Another of those silences that inevitably followed the pressure of truth which Jesus’s advent had brought to the world.

“I never was so proud of being a Christian before,” said Stanton. “What a Lord and Master we have! What a man to follow! I do not believe we have ever felt what sort of a person he was when he was here before.”
