The Reformation.

The reformation came to its birth
Martin Luther lee. the fight in Ger
many, John Knox in SCOTLAND and
John Wyclif in England. The grasp Of
the pope was shaken off. but soon IN
the English church came laxity and il!
difference. Another reformation was
needed, and John Wesley and George
Whitefield began to preach. and Meth
odism and Congre@ationalism began
their mighty work Still later William
Booth has stirred the Stagnant waters
with his Salvation Army. So as the
need has arisen God has unfailncly
raised up men to do his work.
Wherever the churches, growing In
numbers and in financial strength ANA
power have drifted from God and turn
ed their Masters temples into places OF
merchandise, wherever their preachers
have become unlike the humble EaZa
rene, then there have come a spiritual
rebrth and new church. And to this,
new church. this humble church, has
fallen the task of spiritually leavening
the old churches of the world. And.
my friends, if you do not believe that
what | say IS true | would like you t.
| answer me one question. If Jesus
| Christ We're to come upon earth today.
where do You believe the l0wly Naza-
rene would prefer to preach-in the
gorgeous Vatican of a pope, with his
| spotless robes, in the chancel OF Il
great cathedral and be paid the S15.-
600 year as its archbishop, or in
some fashionable Protestant church
whose wealthy members sometimes sit
stolidly Indifferent to the great suffer
ings of mankind? Or do you believe
Jesus would feel most at home as a
street preacher. working with the hum
blest workers in the slums? There can
be but one answer. There is but one
self evident reply.
