The CHURCH FALSE TO CuRIsT.-The
old Church has been false TO the temple of
its master. 1t has utterly failed TO second
his zeal for the divine life in mun. AS all
the Apostles of Christ typiy a particular
spirit in the Church, or a peculiar develope-
meut Of its life, so the typicality of Judas
lscuriot is us normal and perfect as any other
| Apostle. The Christian Church is now in
lis Judas phase of developement. The star
Of the iorlorn lscariot eliminates at length
in its zenith and rules in the house of
! Heaven. For the Church has sold the Lord
for filthy lucre's sake, has accommodated his
doctrine to the support of every political in
situtOn which degrndcs aud denies the soul
OF man. IL regards the existence of the soul

the Church the soul is left without II cham

! pionship OF the irrclgioiis classes. As il was

Faith and Works.


The Bible represents works of benevo-
lence as the necessary aud inyariable CON
sequence of genuine filth yet, perhaps, the
most prevalent error of the religious world
has been their separation An orthodox
creed, or correct faith, has generally been
esteemed of far more importance than an
upright Benevolent life. The Church has
generally laid more stress on the one than on
tile other. She has said by her practice, to
those entering her communion, "enbgace
our creed, accept the articles OF our Confess
zion of Faith and forms of doctrine as OF
first importance. An honest, kindly course
of life is of course desirable, but by all means
I" hold fast he. form of sound ioords.' To those
who come up TO this standard of theoretical
orthodoxy, the Protestant Church OF this age
gives, in very muny instances, almost any de-
sired license to violate the great Obligations
of Christian beneyolence. She seems TO
consider that such compliment is paid TO
Deity by believing aud holding fast tie re-
yealed doctrines of his word, that il will
amply atone for almost any delinquencies oi
practice.
One extreme usually begets another. a
class of men, in whom the religious element
is largely developed, is led by this position ol
the Church to underrate n correct theoretical
or docirinul belief. With them just aud
benevolent life, is the one all important thing
Their creed is comprehended in the coupled
of Pope:
For forms of faith, let graccless zenlots fight
Ills can't be wrong, whose life is in the right.
Between these positions our syInpnihic'
strongly incline to the latter We have more
charity for the man whose life is, to any cX
teut, practical exeinplilicnton of the Cos
pei, though he may hold great errors o
doctrine, than for the man who belongs tt
/ the striclest sect of orthodox believers, ant
is yet dishonest, selfish, and oppressive II
bis conduct In this we most certainly imi
tate the example of Christ. lie mnnlieste'
far more sympathy with even the openl!
vicious, than with the sanctimonious Scrbe'
and Pharisees. Yet these were very ortho
dUx. So much so, that Jesus told his dis
ciples, "to observe aud do all things tina
they should hid them, but not 10 do alte
their works, for they said aud did nol"-

SEcTARIANIsM BEGGING FOR LIFE.-The
old seclurianism is passing away. 1t is with
out living root, without the least basis in
the private or public necessities of humani-
iy. Protesting TO be identified with the vital
and universe! interests Of man, il allows the
whole current ofhs aspirations aud thoughts,
almost the entire sweep of his legislation
and action TO avert themselves from it, and is
obliged TO put up with the tribute of briei
and extremely formal Sunday recognition.
Ii is indeed pitiable on going into modern
temples of worship to hear the pleading cry
wherewlh it calls upon mankind to save it,
Instead of being refuge for man, us of old,
and a sure pledge of his salvation, it has
now become suitor for its own life, and
every Sunday besieges us with the proofs ol
its danger and the certainty of lis destruc-
ton, unless its friends rally with new zeal to
its rescue.-Henry James.
