THE cHURcHs BASIS.

"Belief and Practice of the Christian
Church." was DR.. Craigs theme at the
Christian church the previous Sunday
evening. He said in part:
| Although the religious body repre-
sented here tonight has no creed or
rule OF faith other than the Bible we
] have always been ready to give the
public a statement of our belief and
/ practice. There seems to be a special
need of something of this kind in Ho-
nolulu where we have but this small
congregation and it's missions to repre-
sent US and where many of the people
know nothing of a religious movement
, that, while the youngest of the larger
protestant bodies. has been growing
more rapidly than any of them and
now. with 100000 members, is so far
as numbers are concerned far in excess
! of the Congregational Episcopal and
Presbyterian churches. The Christian
church or Disciples gained 80 464 last
year.
These figures are presented not in
any boastful way. Power and inlu-
ence are not always measured by num-
bers but as this wonderful growth is
tribute to the winning power of our
doctrinal position it has its fitting place
in this statement.
Back of all the sects and parties of
Christendom there is a common chris
tianity, simple, Christ-taught catholic.
Our desire is to put ourselves in har-
mony with that, to place ourselves on
the broad platform of loving loyalty
to the Lord Jesus Christ. From begin
ming to end our cry has been, 20. Lord,
what would thou have US to do?" He
said f'If a man loves me he will keep
my words" 'Ye are my friends if ye
do whatsoever I have commanded
you" We look to Christ for COM
mands and leadership not to the priests
and theologians.
Name-It would he inconsistent for
a people yielding headship and au-
thority only to the Christ to consent
TO wear any name not authorized in
the New Testament We read oe "The
Church of Christ" ''Disciules of
Christ" Christians" These are sat
isfactory. They are not sectaTian. We
do not seek to monopolize any Of these
names. WeSo not claim to be the only
christians but we want to he chris
tians only.
Plea-Our plea is for christianity as
Christ teaches it, as he wants It to be
in the individual and in the church.
We know we have much to learn and
We secure opportunity for growth in
Knowledge.
Creed-The convert in the Apostles
days was admitted to christian fellow
ship on the conditions Of heartfelt faith
in Jesus as the Christ the Son Of God,
and manifestation Of this faith by
repentance and baptism This is our
creed It is the Greed OF Christen-
dom Everything in true christianity
grows out of this IS the oak grows
from the acorn. It is enough and not
too much.
Rule of Faith-The Bible-the Word
of God-especialiy the teaching of the
New Testament. is our only rule of
faith and practice.
Authority Of the Church-The church
is composed of Christ's disciples. No
one of them or all put together have
the right or authority to change the
doctrine or ordinances given to the
church by our Lord. We do not claim
or exercise such right

THE WAR IN
THE EAST

What ever may be telt upon the
broader aspect of the quarrel 1t will
be generally agreed that the Japan
ese, with all their evident determi-
nation to fight. and Notwithstanding
their present aggressiveness, have
so conducted the negotiations with
Russia as to present their national
cause In a favorable light before
the world. Justly regarding the
integrity of Korea as essential to
their own security, they could not
so their official statement runs
exact from Russia pledge to re-
spect 1t. Equally concerned In the
independence OF the Chinese en-
plre. they could obtain from Russia
no agreement and no explanation
OF her continued aggression and
her continued military activity In
Chinese territory. Recognizing that
Russia's studious delay was only a
cover tor a determined advance
that was directed against the essen.
tlal interests of Japan, they broke
off the truitless pretense Of negotia.
tion and resorted to the arbitra-
ment of arms.
The strength of this statement Of
the Japanese position Is that the
world knows 1t to be essentially
true. Russia's silent, sullen ad.
vance across Asia, her policy of ac'
quiring and holding Is no new dem
onstration;and while ittalls to Japan
alone to oppose 1t forcibly, tor her
own self preservation, other powers
have already made the same pro-
test against the Russian aggression
In Manchuria and her contemp-
tuous disregard of treaty engage
ments. Thus, while Japan at the
present juncture Is without mill
tary allies, her diplomatic alliances
are of the strongest. Great Britain
and the United States,at least, must
Insist upon the respect for the In
tegrity of the Chinese empire for
which Japan processes to be fight
ing, and such lnsistence may prove
an influential factor In the war.

WISHING.


Do you wish the world were better?
Let me tell you what to do,
Set watch upon your actions, keep
them always straight and true;
Rid your mind of selfish motives, let
your thoughts be clean and high,
You can make a little Eden Of the
sphere you occupy.
Do you wish the world were wiser?
Well, suppose you make start,
By. accommodating wisdom in the scrap
book of your heart.
Do not waste one page on folly; live
to learn and learn to live.
II you want to give men knowledge,
you must get it ere you give.
Do you wish the world were happy?
Then remember day by day
Just to scatter seeds of kindness as
you pass along the way;
For the pleasure of the many may be
ofttimes traced to one,
As the hand that plants the acorn
shelters armies from the sun.
