Short Sermon for
NOm=ChurCh GOerS
CHURCH FEDERATION
BY Rev. II. Henry Blenus, Pastor Church Street
Christian Church

The times in which we live are noted
for highly developed interests in the in.
dustrial world. Mighty combinations Of
brains and money are welding power
and influence never dreamed of in any
former age of the worlds past history,
and appalling to the minds of all
thoughtful men. Simple partnerships
in business circles have expanded until
developed into corporations, corporations
have grown into syndicates, and these
latter, for want of better name, have
grown into what we call trusts.
II 10 not within the scope of this short
sermon to inquire into the safety or dan.
ger OF this condition Of affairs, or
whether in the end it is for the veal or
woe Of humanity ut large. We simply
note that the tendency of the age seems
to be Enthusiastically towards unity.
In commerce and capital, in labor and
politics, union is considered means of
strength.
What then shall be the near future
religious realization which must best
conform to this growing condition. We
must believe the talisman is church fed
GRAFTON. There is growing demand in
the religious world for Christian unity,
which IL is believed only can bring about
the realization of the last prayer of the
Nazarene for his followers.
In the truest and sincerest sense men
are never united by forces external to
themselves. They may be members of
the same party, Of the same church, of
the same society, and externally live in
peace, harmony and agreement, while
inwardly they are full of meanness and
hate, of jealousy and devilish malice.
The barrel hoop kind Of Union is not
thing to desire in religion. Cohesion in
a spiritual institution must come from
within. True union is that of the heart
and mind, not outward, but inward; of
the spirit, and not of the form only. Ec-
clesiastical authority can never in re.
ality bring about union. Likeness in
