Mr.. Moody holds7 Is large increase
in the membership of the churches
one of its signs, or shall we look for
it in naturalization of a higher stand
ard of life and manners9 An Eng
fish statesman some years ago wrote
book called "Greater Britain" to
prove that the English-speaking peo-
Piles of the world were, in large
sense, fulfilling what Englishmen
used to think was the peculiar mission
OF Great Britain. Similarly, it may
be said that Christianity to day is
subtly diffusing its principles and
ideals outside the metes and bounds
of the organized churches, so that the
sum of their achievements no longer
tells the story of what Christianity is
doing for the world. The innumer
able philanthropic agencies outside
of the organized churches today are,
50 far as they go, doing what the
Master taught should be done, and
many of them are scoring marked
success where the churches, as such,
are obliged to confess they have
failed. Must we say in such cases
that Christianity is not succeeding?
Not at all. All we may say is that
while here and there its organized
methods break down, it gets it's work
done in other ways. And that is the
main thing. The world to-day owes
much to Christianity outside the
churches; but it should be remem
bered, on the other hand, that this
Christianity outside the churches de-
rives its impulse from the churches.
Without them it would soon wither
and die, and civilization would speed
lily resign itself to the deadly philos-
ophy of selfish materialism.
Two things, among many others,
at the present day hinder the spread
of organized Christianity. One is
the tendency of good Christian men
like Mr.. Moody to say that no man
can be Christian who does not ac-
cept theology. The religion that
Jesus introduced into the world is
incomparably larger rand greater than
any theological summary of it that
has ever been made. Now, as ever,
since the daysthat the Master ''spake
aus never man spake."
His teachings have BEEN finding
Judgment in the hearts of men who
knew little of the theology Of the
churches, and cared less. Formally
they may be defective as churchmen,
but in spirit they are Christians
though their names may never APP
pear in the tabulated results of any
revival. The other drawback is hap
PLY described by the Waterman,
when it says that the religion of some
Christians is on the plan of the water
tight compartment. They confine it
to one part of their life, and never by
any possibility allow it to mingie with
their business or pleasures. Such
religion is of no value, and, in fact, is
a pitiful travesty of the teachings of
Jesus:-Neao York Tribune.

which set many feet in motion to
keep time with the cadence.
