of siege is proclaimed, applies to the present
case in Westphalia, but the government has
not yet enforced the provisions Of the act

PATL.S PROGRESS.

PHILIPPIANS. ill.,. 4. Paul be ,ins this
chapter by olludIng TO the change Of
foundations in bis faith. As we well
know there came time when the con-
Gdences Of his childhood. his youth and
early manhood gave way. The strong
buttIesses OF bis religious life suddenly
seemed to crumblo into dust. The past
los, It's power over him. light TUNED To
darkness and be found himself biudly
cropping where before he had walked
with proud assurance. 10 was a crisis
which not infrequenlly comes upon
the young. and Is one full Of
danger. 10 is a terrible moment for a
Young man when tradition loses It's
meaning. when household words turn
to emptiness. when childhood faith
yanishes. when the lights of the past so
out aud nothing seems real. Too often
the end of such a crisis is chronic doubt,
hopeless skepiicism. But with Paul 10
was not so. When the crisis was over
lac found himself standing upon iirmer
basis and the blindness gone, he saw
the greater truths of religion in q
clearer and stronger light What bad
seemed an uprootiug Of faith WAS
only "a deeper planting. That all
true progress has It's beginning IN
dissatisfaction with the past. that 1t
must question it not deny old faiths or
forms Of doctrine. is not 10 be denied.
Bat equally true is it that real progress
is something more than discounting ior
DENYING old belief. Ii must not only
turn from the past. but to something
better. |. must end in a deeper con
viction OF greater truth. II not, II
will be as censorious as it is ilippant
and as worthless as it is cOnceited.
Unfortunately for the world there Is a
large contingent of the advance

In The next place. Paul puts great
emphasis upon The fact that the new
foundation was faith IN Jesus Christ
All away from and out Of Christ was
loss all in Christ was gain. And espe-
ciallv does he dwell upon the thought
of Christ's Righteousness as the source
and hone of salvation. His soul cltayes

which Is through the faith Of Christ. %
From this il is plain that real religious

some progressive theologians are still
where Paul was before the crisis which
put bis feet upon the right foundation.
Again. Paul's progress was charac-
terzed 10y profound moral and spiritual
carnestness. II would be- hard 10 con-
-ccive OF a man more intensely in earn
est than the man who has gwen Us the
view of himself contained in this chap
ter. With every atom and power Of
his being he is striving TO do his whole
duty and to reach the grea, end of life.
There is something almost awful in the
spectacle. and yet who does not know
that it is useless to talk Of religious
progress which does not increase the
moral oarnestness and spiritual inten-
sity and activity of lifey And here
again much Of what j. called advanced
theology is wanting. IL has not made
churches or individuals more earnest or
more spiritually minded. 1t has started
10 new fires to burn up worldliness
and has struck no new motives TO arouse
from moral apathy and spiritual indo-
lence. Nobody can claim that it has
improved prayer meetings in attend
ance or in quality, or that IL has quick
ened the revival spirit or increased con-
versions II led to greater conservation
and hOlier life. Whatever measure Of
acceptance it has gained by conforming
to the tendencies Of the times. it GER
teinly has rot proved its power by
Transforming life. But a progress
which conforms to the world instead Of
transforming it is a spent force from
the very beginning.
Again, Paul S view Of the future was
a tremendous motive for the present.
IF by any means, he says, II might
attain unto the resurrection Of the
dead" The rcsur' eciion wa, some
thing which could be missed. which
might be missed. it would be awful to
miss it. Sin. death. resurrection. the
Judgment. the end of the mystery of life,
had all become intensely significant to
him in the light Of ms religious pre- z ess.
1t is needless to say that this must be
true of all really progressive theology.
\ theology which makes less of sin.
will certainly make less Of the agen-
cies Of redemption, and making less of
death and destiny. will fall far short of
stirring men to the use Of all means for
the attainment Of the resurrection.
Lastly, Pauls progress was with the
right motive toward the II Int end. the
mark for the prize Ills mark was
perfection, the prize the reward of
righteousness, which the righteous
Judge will give in that day" These /
two must 20 together. They are both /
as reasonable in religion as in the com
mon affairs of life. Their separation
can never be anything more than a
distinction of thought Skeptics and !
critics who coDhne their religious ef-
forts to discussion and a metaphysical
manipulation Of words may keep them
apart, but in all real life they are one.
With all earnest Christians. " BE vel
perfect, " will be the motto. and the
crown OF life the hope. -idrdmcc.
