FUTURE CHURCH
characteristics
ARE OUTLINED

Richmond. Oct. 2.-In a sermon in Holy
Trinity church. during the celebration of
the 300th anniversary OF the founding OF
Rnsl1ean Ror Ghristia1ity hnl In , America the
ram. LORD Bishop of London, gave his
idea or the characteristics which the
church that shall dominate the future
must possess. He said i'm part:
First, undoubtedly, the future can
only belong to church which believes
and breaches the forth-reaching, ener-
Sizing and active love of God. God for
bid that I should deny the difficulties
which surround a belief in the love OF
God or ignore the stern side OF the New
Testament. but no church will save the
world and especially those thousand
millions who have not yet had a chance
OF making up their minds as TO the truth
OF Christianity except church that be-
lieves and proclaims and lives out the
love Of God 10 every child that He has
made.
And with the gospel OF the love of God
must go what we call In England the
message of free salvation. IL may be
that In the past We may have allowed a
legallzing spirit to creep over the church,
but today high church and low church
vie in England to preach gospel of a
free salvation-that the Eternal Son OF
God came into this world and gave Him
self for His brothers, that the Christian
religion does not consist In n belief In n
good man named Jesus Christ dying on
the cross, but consists in a belief In the
sacrifice OF God himself.
81 have no means OF knowing the trend
OF religious thought I'm the United states.
but from my experience OF the east.
north and west London, the future lies
with no church which sinks TO what Is
called the new theology.
God forbid we should say word
against any individual man who believes
as much as he can or the Christian
creed but what VIC must beware OF on
both sides OF the Atlantic Is losing the
power OF our message by trying 10 make
lie easier to be believed
''rhe church OF the future must un-
-dnuhtedly- POSSESS the -unbroken minis
try and the historic sacraments which
YOU possess I'm the church OF America to-
day: Hold fast that thou hast that no
man take Thy crown
But after all is said and done, the
most evangelistic. the most catholic, the
most orthodox chui ch on earth. Will pro-

ness and management rather than the
