Tho rrue.t Friend and Helper.

The church teaches no one to do evil.
It has no mixed standard Of right and
wrong. 1t aims to keep those who have
not gone astray in morals in the straight
paths of honesty, truth and virtue, 1t
teaches parents to love their children
and exhorts children to honor their par
ents. 1t warns men what will come to
them if they choose the wrong in pref
erence to the right. 1t is great con ;
serving force among men. Who can tell
how great the wrongs Of the world
would be if we had no church?
When all distinctions become so con-
fused that black is white and white is
black, when wrong is right and right is
wrong, it will then be possible to make
out case against the church as the en-
envy of mankind But while love stands
opposed to hate and virtue is better than
vice the church must be accounted the
truest friend and helper of mankind.

Questionable Methods.

One of the drawbacks with which the
church of Christ has to contend is the
tendency to endeavor to raise money as
a contribution to religious or benevolent
causes by questionable means. This
really deadens the nerve Of true Chris
tian benevolence and places giving ON q
wrong basis while 1t taints the enter
prise thus supported. Far better to give
a smaller sum outright as willing and
thankful Offering than to bring discred.
it upon the entire matter of Christian
charity by ministering to frivolity or
the passion of any questionable amuse-
ment in the name Of religious benevo-
lence.
