Ministry is not necessarily preaching or
reading the ritual or praying. 1t is serving
humanity in any way that uplifts and purl
fies; and the more unselfish the service the
truer the ministry, although the dOer may
not be called a diVine.-JelCtSh Messenger
In Great Britain the society of Christian
endeavor Is making substantial and steady
progress. Many pastors find the Christian
guilds, while well fitted to develop the
social and literary life of young people, not
80 well adapted to their more strictly rellgl-
Gus needs, and are turning their attention
more and more to the Christian endeavOr
societies as the solution of the problem

The deadly certainty with which offenses
against morality and the laws with which
society surrounds itself find retiDution is
illustrated day after day and week after

genius-noneo of these can furnish bulWarks
to ward off the misery that follows IN the
track of social sin. Death itself and the

More anu more the Christian world IS
becoming impressed with the conviction
that too much has been made OF doctrines

CHRISTIANITY AND THE CRITICS.
There have been two distinct movements
against the Christian faith III our times
which are somewhat similar in their aims
and methods, and the results Of which are
becoming more manifest. The first, which
has by no means spent its force, is the ef-
fort to discard religion and keep morality,
or, to make more definite our terms, to dis
miss Christianity AS faith and preserve
the high morality which 1t enShrlneS. Men
have labored hard on this problem with re
suits not very satisfactory. With more or
less of confidence they have alleged that

Predictions are airily ventured that the
day is coming when it will disappear from
tie vision of men, or take its place among
the curiosities of past belief. But with
these men, and with all intelligent men, the
question is inevitably raised, how shall
morality be sustained when the Christian
faith ceases TO mold, guide, and restrain
menl How shall law cOntlnueits regulating
and binding power when the sanctions OF
religion are withdrawn from II! 10 quote
Prof Goodwin Smith as he he puts 1t, God
and future retribution being out OF the
question, it is difficult too see what can re
strain the selfishness of an ord mary man,
and induce him in the absence OF actual
coercion to sacrifice his personal desires to
the public good. The service of humanity
is the sentiment of a refined mind convers-
ant with history; within no calculable time
is it likely to overrule the passions and dl-
rect the conduct of the mass; and after all,
without God and spirit, what is humanity
We believe that the church will treat the
literary critics of the present time as it has
treated those of the past. 1t has heard
them as their picks fell smartly on the
rock, but it has gone out to build new
churches and consecrate them in the name
of Christ, to oriain ministers to preach its
gospel, to rear Bible houses and TO print
Bibles, in which the name of Moses is never
separated from the Pentateuch, or the name
of John from his gospel. While the critics
have been busy with sitting traditions it
has been moving on in the advancement of
the kingdom which prophets foretold and
apostles preached. Its ''agonies" have been
agonies of effort, and it does not abate these
as the centuries go on.-Presbyteridn OBJ
