notorious for there departure from old
landmarks. Il has found q lodgment
among the membership Of the denomina-
tons which are regarded as orthodox. BY
this looseness I do notmean mere freedom
from narrow sectarianism with which !
have no sympathy. But there have been
thousands OF people who have been Drift
ing more or less as to the great truths
which are common TO all evangelical creeds.
One way in which this tendency has betray..
ed itself has been by the popularity OF
mere sentimental notions about the
character OF God and OF future retribution,
God is pictured as no more than an
"indulant Father. The object OF the
gospel is proclaimed to be the "derel0pRent
Of manhood"
The only future punishment Of sins Is
held TO be paternal Christening which
will in the course OF time convert the Yilest
transgressor into saint. The inevitable
result OF such doctrine Is TO destroy the
whole power OF Christianity over evil
men. Il is easy to see how 1t also Is the
prolific seed from which spring CORES.
ponding laxity in the administration OF
the family and the state. l think also that
the ministry is in measure TO be blamed
because they have too much yielded to
the tendencies OF the times, and too often
have substituted sentimental sermons for
the presentation OF the grand central
truths OF the Bible, which are the rock on
which Christianity stands. The Sabbath
schools too have sometimes seemed 10 be
more anxious to entertain the children
than to teach them the first principles OF
religion and morality.

There has also been good deal Of loose
ness in the government OF the churches.
One form OF this has connected itself with
the admission OF members. ] have very
grave doubts about the desirability Of the
labors OF some OF our modern "eyangel-
ists." 1t appears to me that part OF them
do not lay the foundations Of piety so
deeply as they ought. What IN amazing
difference between their preaching and
that OF Wesley, or Whitefeid, or Nettleton
or Finney? It's tone is evangelical, but it
Is often feeble and sentimental. The con.
verts, gathered by this system as applied
either by evangelists or by pastors, may
be expected TO correspond somewhat in
their religious characters with this kind
81 teaching. Besides they are often hur-
RED into the full membership OF the
churches, without time for the excitement
OF the hour TO cool little, and without
careful examination. And then the other
form OF laxity in the government OF the
churches appears. II consists in the wide
spread neglect OF discipline for offenders.
No church has right to set up itself as a
sort OF inquisition TO pry into all Ike de-
tails OF the lives Of the members and to in.
flict censure for every trifling offense. But
1t IL bound to take cognizance OF all serious
departures OF its members from the doc
trines and duties OF Christianity and to in
fict discipline as far as 1t Is possible
How rarely is this done?

The Recent DISCLOSURES as 10 Crime In
Cincinnati and Other cities.
MADISON, ISD., Dec. Sd, 1873.

MADISON, IND., Dec. Sd, 1873.
Editors In,elligeHoer:
The recent disclosures as to the moral
and religious condition Of Cincinnati, evil
IDENTIFY has made deep and wide impress
sion. Similar investigations have been
undertaken in other cities and towns, and
on the whole have reached substantially
the same state Of things. indianapolis, l
notice, claims much higher proportion
as to attendance at church; but in view Of
the carnival OF murder which disgraces
that city, it is surely in no condition to as
sert for itself any superiority Us to morals.
Matters have come to such q pass there
that Vigilance Committees are threaten
ed as means of insuring the punishment
which is necessary to the safety OF life and
property.
CAUTION AGAINST EXAGGERATloS.
I am Of the opinion that the picture
which has been drawn by the newspapers
is substantially correct Only it ought to
be observed that there is danger OF an ex.
aegerated Interpretation OF the facts and
figures, which are given rs to existing
evils. There are many people who seem
To he able TO see only one thing at time,
and who are liable TO be blind as to the
good which survives amidst the bad Of
the hour. And thereare others who from
temperament or from preconceived opin-
ions believe that society is becoming more
corrupt and must continue to do so until
in It's rottenness 1t will be ready TO fall to
pieces. Now, it is not true that there is
no pure morality or genuine religionin our
country. There is a great deal of both,
and have never yet been able TO see sui
ficient evidence, either in reason or reveal
ton, for the belief that society must here
after go from bad to worse until 1t finally
sinks into chaos.

WHAT Alls TME clIrRcnEs.

But with all proper limitations, the pic
ture is dark enough to appall us. And in
connection with it, one Of the questions
which force themselves upon the true
friends of Christianity is, 'rty arc not hS
cturcles more efficient in rolling back
this tide of iniguityt Tens OF thousands
OF them are scattered over the land. They
are equipped also with better machinery
for doing their work than they ever
heretofore possessed. There is nothing in
the conduct Of government or in the or
canization OF society among US, nothing
which tends TO repress them. The church.
es OF these United States have fair open
field.
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1878-12-06


There is also much looseness on the part
OF protesting Christians, in their relations
with the world. ! belieye that it is SIAN
der TO say OF most Of them that they are
immoral in their lives. There are some
black sheep in almost every flock. Here
and there is wolf in Sleeps clothing. But
the great majority are not ofthat charac-
ter. The trouble with many Is an undue
conformity TO the world. Now, / do not
mean that Christians ought to wear long
faces and to live apart from other people.
Butt ought to be possible, without this,
TO notice q difference between them and
those who do not claim 10 be oftheir num-
Der. When Christians adopt wholesale
the worlds mode OF doing business, and
the worlds amusements, they pursue q
course which must be detrimental to their
own .reiglious welfare and to the cause
which they represent. II anybody will
first read Bunyan's Pilgrims Progress and
then turn to Hawthorne's Celestial Rail-
way, they will better understanding mean

biz to travel toward the better country,
but TO do 1t with all the comforts and con-
veniences OF a fashionable tourist ought to

grims who 90 by the old narrow way and
who do not stop at Vanity Fair will great
" have the advantage at the close OF the
Journey over those who go by parlor and
sleeping car, and take their pleasure as
they choose along the road.
The church ought to be doing more to
roll back the tide Of iniquity and to over.
take the masses with the gospel. And
what she does ought to have more eff
cheney. Before these things are possible
she must correct the evils within herself,
of which / have written. u. W. F.

WHAT 10 EXPECT OF TIE CHURCHES.

WHAT 10 EXPECT OF THE CHCHCHEs'
It's wellto remember what may reason
ably be expected Of the churches. ! do
not perceive why they should be held to
be derelict merely because gross immoral
itv prevails among large class OF people,
who stand -alOof from everything which Is
connected with Christianity. The naked
fact that ten thousand people are in the
low theatres OF Cincinnati on Sabbath
evening does not OF necessity prove that
the churches OF that city are at fault. All
that these christian organizations can do
is TO be faithful in the use OF such means
as are available, in view OF existing err
cumstances, for the purpose OF overtaking
all classes with the gospel. a great deal oil
the work OF the ministry and OF the ia!ty
consists OF what In scriptpral Phraseoiogy
is called Witnesing. By their lives and by
their words they must be testimony, ior
the principles OF religion and morality.
But 10 compel people TO forsaEe evil ways
il is not within their power to do.
In any fair consideration OF the respon'
sibiIity OF the churches Tor the existing
state OF things it is necessary not TO lose
SIGHT OF the truth to which ! have Just
called attention. But to submit this as
full statement OF the case would be to con-
less the impotence OF Christianity. Il
would be TO say that the Bible has reveal
ed way in which people can be made to
understand what they have 10 DO, put mas
provided no efficiency by which they can
be brought over to the side OF truth and
right There are very few OF the real
friends OF Christianity who theoretically
would iora moment conceae such posi-
ton.

Itno doubt is true that the infdelity
and attendant agencies which are at WORK
in Inc land are great hindranees TO the
progress Of religion and morality: But
theY are not insuperable. And II the
churches are not accomplishing what
might reasonably be expected Of them, let
them look in upon themselves for an eS'
niauation. II requires no great suPerton'
n al insight TO discover what Is largely the
secret OF the lack Of greater efficiency.
