A Growing Interest in Church work.

oFoWtuB kuL6ft8L IN Cuufcu w Ufks
1t happy fact that there is widespread
and growing interest in practical church work.
At last it really begins to dawn on the sancti-
fed intelligence of Christian people that it is
both wickedness and folly to lock up large
sums Of money in costly edifices which are
opened and used only once or twice q week,
and then but for an hour or two. 1t begins to
be felt that churches exist not alone for wor-
active and aggressive efforts.
The idea formerly prevailed, and does still
too generally, that it is the purpose Of local re-
ligious organizations to convert and instruct
believers, and then to leave them in their indi-
vidual capacity to find or make ways and means
Of application to daily life. Meantime, the or
ganization, as such. sits idle SIX days ous Of
seven. The mighty power Of organization. the
open secret OF such amazing results in other
departments, was and largely Is thus substan-
tally disused and wasted.
The truth is that every Christian Is that and
something more. What more? Why. he Is
part and parcel Of an organized body. As .
soldier Is man, but also member OF . regl-
ment; as partner is an individual, but also q
member of business house; so Christian Is
In the army and in the firm. What would be
thought Of . soldier who should habitually
break rank and play guerrilla? or Of a partner
who should constantly ignore bis colleagues
would be the victories, and where the CONNER
cial success on that planf Yet this il what
church members do.
No; the church as whole ought to adjust IL
self to practical uses. Worship Is sublime. In
struction is needful. But to these why not su b.
join such daily helpfulness as might both evan
gelize and civiljze the community7 Let Chris
ttans DO what they can - individuals; and at
the same time think and feel and act together
Tor the common veal
Make each church center of tremendous
energies Superadd. to the spiritual propa-
ganda special methods. Take hold Of this out
lying need with the powerful nand of the or
ganization. Is it said that this would secular
ize the church? On the contrary, would It not
spiritualize the secular7 Is it not Christian
duty to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked,
and enlighten the ignorant, and help the needy
and lift the lowly? And II Christian duty,
why not a church duty? Why set men to do

do infinitely better.

Open your doors, your hearts. your hands

WRITTEN roR TIE DIsPkrcz-1
Our homes and streets and churches are
once more peopled with their wonted occu-
pants. The summer is ended. The absent
are back.
This morning the churches will be full.
The ministers, brown and hardy from their
outing, will preach with full voice. The
officers, strong and ruddy, win take their
old stations on the walls of Zion. The con-
gregations, vibrant and eager. will listen
with alert attention. What an opportunity
What an inspirationI Let all make the
most Of it. Time is short. Life is uncer-
tain. 1t may be now or never.
Shall not the new season be quick and
hot with effort? Behold the abounding
need. Here are false gods more hideous
than Baal, more awful than Moloch, wor-
shipped with shrieks, worshiped with curses;
with the hearthstone for the bloody altar. and
the drunken husband and father for the i'm
molating priest and women and children for
the hapless victims. All around Us are the
perishing-vice crouching in slums; poverty
, clothed in rags; fingers bleeding from iIl-paid
toll; ignorance from which God is shut out;
children homeless on the street; Arabs Of the
sidewalk, candidates for the jail and the gal.
lows. For what do churches and ministers and
Christians existf Is it not to seek and save
the lost " after the example Of Him who went
about doing good7
The summer rest win have been wen earned
and rightly enjoyed II 1t shall send the follow
ers Of the Nazarene back TO their work with
the high resolve to dare and do for God and
humanity.
