THE oHuRoHs NEED

In recent anniversary sermon.
preached at Grand Rapids, Mich, by
Rev. Charles Fuhrer, who took for his
theme, "Thc Church for To-Day,n the
bold position was assumed that The
church as now constituted does not an
Its place. Many of his brethren IN Tho
ministry viii take issue with him. as n
matter of course, and will be found
ready to combat his stronnly-put
theory Bot It would not be fair
TO the reverend gentlemen To
stop here, nor yet short OF giving his
opponents something more from his
mind to answer. He says, to start with,
that ''the world has been regarded by the
church as mans spiritual foe, and which
nc should get out OF 20 secure his happi.
ness and to please his Creator" aud then
he proceeds to refuto the idea saving that
the world Is not cursed but hallowed
ground, and to contend that the great
mistake of the church has been It's effort
to keep apart from that which is necessary
TO the success OF It's legitimate mission
the world. at has adhered he contn-
ues, "to medieval interpretations until
many regard il as thing OF the past, as
outgrown, and wOuld substitute for the
temple the schoOl-house and for the pul-
pit the lecture platform"
After the elaboration of these sugges-
tions the speaker draws picture of
what the church should be, IN ihs course
of which he says: "Thc church for TO.
day, II faithful 70 its mission, must rec
ognize the divine side of all things called
secular. First Of all II must be a teacher.
giving fridndly hearing TO every truth,
ana COZ nting none, OF whatever name,
as foreign TO its service. Then the
church should be a quickeneoof men by
showing the essential sanctity of the life
that now is, and more OF true social
force. The poor and the laboring classes
are largely outside OF it. lthas forgotten
what universal brotherhood means with
telegraph steam and increased commerce,
the world has Shrunk in size and men have
been driven closer together. This has led
to the formation OF cooperative assocla-
tons for mutual protection, and with
large numbers these have taken the place
OF the church. But the very conditions
which produce this closer utilization pro-
woke also sharper antagOnism, as witness
the class feeling growing up in threaten
ing attitude among US. Il is the peculiar
province Of the church, If it will, TO bring
about a more real brotherhood through
the reduction of class distinctions. 1t
can do much toward this, first, by insist
ing upon exact and equal justice among
men; second, by promotlnga warmer and
more helpful sympathy through difusing
It's great principle OF brotherly love"

CHURCHES AND WORKING PEOPLE.

Chicago Inter ocean,
There was held In Cincinnati few DAYS
ago what was called an Interdcnomina-
tional congress. 1t seems to have been
composed of able and representative men
from all parts of the country. Its discus
sionS were kept up for four days. The
question before them was, to put it in Il
word, What ails the cities2 Are
the churches losing their grip? Are the
working people turning their backs on
the church? The poor we have always
with us; that is certain Is it equally
clear that ''to the poor the Cos
pei is preachedT" II not, whose fault is
t2 Is 1t that of the minstersY Is it the
fault of those who came TO hear IL, or
of those who don't? Are some Of the
methods in use among the churches un-
suitable and wrong2 Has the spirit OF
deep discomfort of which the various
forms OF socialism are Il symptom, any
thing TO do with the matlerI Has the
strife between capital and labor done
anything to prejudice the artisan
classes against the churches, on the
ground that the rich are supposed
to have greatest influence in
them? And whether such prejudice be
wright or wrong, what should be done
about II? II the Christian re-
liglon has any reason for being and any
pertinence anywhere In this world,
especially in time of unrest Ike the
present, il was urged IL must he to do
what it can, through appeals to the COM
mon humaucr motives, 20 mediate be-
tween the rich and the poor, between the
employer and the toiler, between the I
people OF all the grades and classes. The
churches which manilcstly do this most
will be the ones which will keep the
strongest hold upon the worSing-peopic

missioner OF Pensions to give her the place SIZE

found she demoralized the whole office. The
women won't sit beside her, and she bothered
and bored the men. Moreover, she is illiterAte
and irregular, and not at all desirable cletx.
But she is pushing and persistent, and is making
the unhappy Blacks life as sombre as his name.
CHICAGO, April 4.-Miss Ada c. Swift, Pc T.
sion Agent of this district, received telegrasn
from Commissioner Black asking her resig1a.
ton. The telegram stated that Miss Swift had
performed her duties in a thoroughly satisfsaC4
tory manner and gave no reason why her res1s.
nation was desired. Miss Swift at oEos
telegraphed President Cleveland the contents ut
Commissioner Blacks message, and stated thii:
as her duties had been performed satisfactorily,
she saw no reason why she should resign Msss
Swift then addressed Commissioner Black hv
letter, in which she embodied the sentimerts
she expressed to President Cleveland, and added
that she might be removed from her office, tnt
she 81 ould not resign
