PREA CHING CHRIST CRUo1FIED.

Those who are looking for the coming of
the Lord, and expecting Him to set up on
earth the Kingdom of Heaven-that king
dom for which He has taught us to pray, and
say ''Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done
on earth, as it is in Heaven"-are very COM
monty reprOdche6 with being visionary, and
neglecting the practical" duties of Chris
tianity.
We have often heard this insinuated, and
the preaching of "Christ crucified" held up
by way of foil and contrast; as much as to
say, SAT best, even if your views are COR
rect, you are forever holding up non-essen-
tials; we preach essentials-the very marrow
of the Gospel-Christ crucifed." In fact,
they preach only half Gospel. Howbeit,
they mean not so, neither doth their heart
think so.
A half gospel, we say. For why should the
blood be shed and the inheritance be left?
But the Word of God declares that the ao1t0Ie
creation groaneth and travaileth together in
pain unit / now, waiting for the adoption,
which is the redemption of the body. And
how ashamed will many be, at His appearing,
that with the record of His will continually
before them, they did not even understand
what the kingdom of our Lord and His Mes
siah is!
Not many years ago q company of minis
ters, assembled in fraternal conference,
agreed that each one should state the sub
stance of his public teachings. One of them
arose and said-'T preach Christ and Him
cruoifed.' Whereupon nearly all the rest,
one after the other rose and repeated:-"I
preach Christ and Him crucifed." Was it
really as they said? 1t may well be doubted.
They love Christ with all their hearts. But
do they preach Christi
Christ means Messiah And Messiah means
The Amounted One, The KING. Do they re-
cognize Him as King, except as swaying the
expect him to set up an outward and real
kingdom on earth ? In the Epistles He is
everywhere spoken of as Jesus Christ, or
Christ Jesus. Sometimes one and sometimes
the other. Jesus signifies Saci0ur. Christ
signifies King. 1t is not an accident that the
Scriptures speak of Him as Christ Jesus, and
as Jesus Christ. Jesus King. King Jesus
And no one can be said to preach Christ fully
who does. not preach His coming and king

SUMMARY OF OHUROH NEWS.
PRESBYTERIAN.


During a meeting in the Shelbyville
Church, Tennessee, there were about ninety
professions, and there have been about
seventy additions to the Presbyterian Church.
"A new church has just been organized at
Madison Station, Tennessee, with twenty
four members, and good prospect for addi-
tional members.
On the second Sabbath in January fifteen
members were added to the communion of
the Alabama Street Church, Memphis Ten
nessee Grew. Dr. Stedman's), on profession
of their faith The congregation has grown
to such an extent that the erection of a new
house of worship has become necessary, not
withstanding it is only year since the pre-
sent building was enlarged.
-Snice the 1st Of January there has been
an addition of ffty-one members to the First
Presbyterian Church of St. Joseph, Missouri
(Rev ]. G. Facklers), nearly all Of them on
examination.
The Boston church of which the Rev.
Dr. Blalkie is pastor is before a committee of
the State Legislature, hoping to recover its
title to the old Federal street estate, which it
held before the Unitarian schism took place.
Rev. J. II. Dodds, d. D., devoted mis-
sionary of the Reformed Presbyterian Church,
died at Aleppo, Syria, in December last He
had thorough knowledge of the Arabic lam
guage, and gave promise of great usefulness
On the 6th of January the first Protestant
church ever built on Roman soil was opened,
under the auspices of the Free Church of
Scotland.
CONGREGATIONAL.
The church in Macon, Missouri, orga-
niZed five years since with ten members, now
numbers forty.six; and within that time,
though beginning with almost no resources,
has raised over $40, 900 for pastoral support
and their meeting house.

nary, just issued, shows total of lightweight
students, nine of them in the special course.
The Baltimore Congregational Church

The Rev. DIR. Eleazer I. Fitch, for a
long time Professor of Divinity in Yale Col
lege, and pastor of the College church, died
at his residence in New Haven lately, in the
eighty first year of his age.
From the Congregational Quarterly for

tionalists have in the United States 1921
churches, 3194 ministers, 306, 518 members,
and 361, ,465 pupils in Sunday schools. The
benevolent contributions reported by the

in churches during the past year is IS; in
ministers, 30; In members, 6156; in Sunday
schools, 1868. The infant baptisms were

There are 651 vacant churches, aud 92s
ministers without charge.
