The Living Church.

We believe that the more close OBJ
server Will discover two tendencies now
dominating the religious world about us.
They are the down. grade or rational
istlc tendency, leading men away from
all determinate Christian teaching: and
the conservative tendency to recover
ancient paths II is noticeable that both
tendencies are destructive In their ef-
fects upon Protestant denominations.
The down-grade tendency leads TO a
non-church-golng and undenomnation-
al habit among those affected by Il. The
conservative tendency accounts for the
largely increased number Of dlssenters
who are returning TO the spiritual home
which their ancestors forsook. II such
movements continue long enough. the
time will come when earnest believers
who have not succumbed to rationullsm
will be gathered into one historic fold.
and their previous denominations will
either have dissolved or have become
mere humanitarian clubs.
