must they who worship God worship

who serve man must serve him in spirit
and in truth
1T is a noble spirit. says the Con
gregationalist' of Boston. (which
prompts so many Christian people at
the present time to long for the formal
Christian church. There is something
impressivesin the mere thoughtsof a
great Christian army, including all
members of Gods earthly host, massed
in one great force for the conquest of
the earth in behalf of their common
Lord. The beauty of the theory is not
the only thing to be considered. It's
practicability is even more important
And we have no hesitation in affirming
that, with human nature as it is, there
is no more probability of the organic
union of the different branches of the
Christian church than there is of the
fusing of the principal nations of the
earth into one. 1t is pure assumption
that our Lord desired organic unity.
Some things in Scripture Indicate that
possibly He did; other passages indi-
cate the contrary, and with equal force.
This is certain, that while human ma
ture continues as it is, while one truth
presents itself to one man with special
pertinence and another to another man
with equal force, so that their very
makeup necessitates differences Of
opinion about the relative Importance
of the two subjects it will be impos-
sible for organic unity to occur, nor
would it necessarily be a desirable con-

York Examiner" (Bapt.). Zone meets
with it everywhere. We look down
upon the culture of the last generation.
We are so much wiser than our faith
ers that it is needless to talk of what
they said or did. Even over religion
affectation has placed a sort of direct
ing goddess. We must bride our
emotions. F'ervid speech is no longer
conventional. To say nothing prettily
is great achievement The Bible
itself needs revision. The prophets are
fashioned; even the New Testament
is antiquated. So we are listening, in
lieu of sermons, to lectures on Tenny-
son, Longfellow, Shakespeare, and
Count Tolstoi. Well, Isaiah and the
prophets can calmly wait; but the
opinion of those oldfashioned preach
ers upon some who claim to be their
modern successors would be of absorb
ing interest"
Zone of the most popular fallacies of
our day. says the .'Watchman'
Bapt) of Boston, sis that character is
the product of environment; that if you
put people into the right surroundings
they will be righteous, The entire
drift of the New Testament is against
this theory. It's teaching is that the
right soul does far more to change ex-
ternal conditions than the right exter-
mai conditions do to change the soul.
No sensible man oyerlooks the influence
of circumstances upon character, but
he sees that however influential they
may be, they are not finally determine
tive. 1t is upon that fact that the
Christian theory of how human life and
society are to be purified and ennobled
rests. Christianity makes its primary
appeal to the human conscience; it
brings a message to the intelligent per-
sonality; it aims to reconstruct life and
society and institutions, by transform
ing the personal conscious life of. the
individual. Just in proportion as it
does this it succeeds, and just in pro
portion as it leaves the citadel of the
human personality defiant to divine in

in vain, but finally his luck turned, and
he was offered a position by a friend

he made up his mind at %, to become

suffice to meet this obligation. All of
these things are to be found in very
many of the secular schools. A French
scientist said recently that education
should recognize, besides the mineral,
vegetable and animal kingdoms in ma
ture, a fourth, the human, or moral,
kingdom. The suggestion is new, Of
course, only in the forcible manner in
which it emphasizes the Importance of
a much neglected field in education.
Christian educators ought to address
themselves to this fourth kingdom
Social and religious problems should re-
ceive large attention in our Christian
schools-not the problems pertaining to
dogma or doctrine, but those relating
to the application of religious principles
to social conditions

both within and without the church is

While the disestablisnment of the

mate goal of movements now going

OF Chicago. Zone step after another
mas been taken during the past century
In this direction, and there has been no
step backward. Most significant of all
is fact which has hardly as yet been
fully understood that the religion
which now has the most real claim to
be called the religion of the State and
which alone is supported by the State,
is not the Church of England at all.
Neither is it any other of the various
Christian bodies. 1t is a new affair,
made, as it were, to order. It's name
is denominationalism' This is the
religion which has taken the place of
the church in the State or board schools
supported by taxation, and is therefore
the real State religion. It has no ex-
istence except in this connection, and
represents no religious body This
state of things reminds us strongly of
the religious arrangements of the
Roman Empire in the earlier centuries.
There were many religions, AL more or
less tolerated, and one of these was the
ancient religion of the Roman people.
But the Government invented a new
one, which, while it did not displace
the rest. demanded the homage OF all
loyal subjects. 1t was strictly 'unde-
nominational.'
