THE CHUCH OUTSIDE THE CHURCH.
ScFenth-While organic church life
has advanced and inlidelity has retreat
ed, the spirit Of Christ has far outstripped
the organic development Of the church.
The spirit Of Christ conquers the secu-
lar world And we are beginning to see
fulfilled the great thought Of the apoca-
lyptic seer in the redeemed world when
he declared, and saw no temple there
in There has been growing III addition
to the organic development vast church
outside the church. The development Ct
hundreds Of benevolent and fraternal So
cieties uncOnnec.ed with the organic
church have still embodied the funda-
mental principles Of Christ. They are
based on the brotherhood Of man, and in
their lives they verify the spirit of Christ.
In the political world the spirit Of Christ
IS coming to assert its supremacy step
by step. Politics have been humanized.
and therefore CLristianized, within the
past twenty-five years to q greater e.
tent than ever before III the history Of
The world.
War today IS a more remote pOssibil-
ity than ever before. Christian senti-
ment is the dominant sentiment in the
last analysis Of the worlds diplomacy.

Ia practical politics today III America
Christian sentiment is a greater power
than ever before in our history. Even
David 3. Hi Went to church the other
day. Thiuj, Of it, We sanity Republic
ans! Think Of themoQeTn 31ephistopheles
Of the political world deeming it neces-
sary to so 10 church! Indeed, it was q
movement upon the part Of
this great political diplomat. He knew
that no man in this age could ever he |
elected president of the United States |
who stood in a position Of antag0nism to !
organic church life, even such as once |
occupied by Thomas jefferson. Not be- /
cause this age is more bigoted; for it is |
the most liberal age in the history Of the |
world. 1t is simply because at heart the |
age IS Christian.
This Christian spirit is permeating the |
and international relations |
Of the world. From Cramps shipyardin /
Philadelphia we lately launched our |
great monster Of destruction, with lips |
IF steel. But from the docks in PhiIa- |
lelphia the other day was launched q /
low ship in a new navy Of the new earth |
hat IS to be. On swift wings Of mercy /
across the sea flies this messenger Of /
peace and Of love, bearing It's burden of t
)read to starving strangers. Across the
ocean we stretch the hand Of fraternal /
greeting to Russia. We bear not guns, T
9ut bread!
THE STUDENT WORLD.
AT heart the thought Of this century
S becoming more and more Christian.
The men who do the thinking are Chris
ian at heart. It is supposed by shallow
observers that our institutions Of learn
ng are inIidel and agnostic. 1t is a
tup1d mistake. A census Of the class
It Cornell was taken in January-504
1"+tnl6 representing every class Of our
sl5-4e. Our Of the sol, $50 were mem
)er8 Of the church; 145 were regular
hurchgoors, though not church mem
)ers; only 10 expressed no denomira-
lonaI preference, though not necessarily
Without religion. This is a typical ex-
'ression Of the sentiment Of our institu-
ions Of learning, for the class at Cor
elI last year was SO liberal that it in
tied Colonel ln9ersoll to deliver its
nnual address.
The cry of infidelity today is the cry
+ retreat-'I do not know!" The an
wer to that cry is thunderpeal of vic
Dry from 4J0, 900, 900 hearts that make

7orld. From every continent of the
