1T any rate. Perhaps we have. But
are we justified to say that Christ
has been rejected. May it not be-
that the rejection has been, not SO
much of Christ as of our presentation
of Him. Might it not be that another
man with different personality, with
q different manner of expression.
with a something in his nature that
would bring him heart to heart with
his listener, would convince this sim
ner, over whom we have tried and
failed, of his absolute dependence
upon the God who gave him life.
The whole power Of the body Of
Christ must be exerted to save men.
Too often men are unconvinced
because of our non-appealing presen-
tat1on of the truths of the Bible
story. Unto all people must the
church of the twentieth century adj
dress herself. To all men must the
gospel be preached.
But this gospel of the Christ is not
merely system of ethics. not merely
scheme of life. It is more. ST,
Paul tells us that he IS mot ashamed
cit is the power of God unto salvation
to every one that believeth. Through
it we know not only what God expects
Of us, but we have knowledge OF
the nature of our heavenly Father.
Christ came to preach the kingdom.
The outworking in practical life OF
the principles of the kingdom will
make such conditions as we have dis
cussed impOssfble.N
With the entrance of Christ into
the heart man will become right to-
ward God. Being in harmony with
God he will be in harmony with his
brethren. Let us apply ourselves.
then; steadfastly to spread the gospel
of salvation. -
The gospel Of our Lord and 81
vior Jesus Christ is the urgent, the
immediate need of this world. With
in it's principles are contained the So
luton of all our most perplexing So
cial problems. Let us bring our wan-
dering brethren back from the dis
tant country into the fathers home.
For ourselves let US strive to attain
unto that perfectness which was in
Christ. Enthrone Christ in the hearts
of men and the law of love, which is
the ruling force in the kingdom Of
our God, will sway mankind. Then
will come peace and happiness and
JOY. For then shall have come to
pass the beginning of the endless life
within God for us all.
Save men to Christ and you have
saved the world.
The church is confronted with the
most stupendous problem with which
she has had to contend since the days
of the apostles. But with the prob
lem God has given us the power unto
victory. His gospel is our shield, our
buckler, our guide. He doth lead,
we need but follow. Let us then as
men who are mot ashamed of the
gospel of Christ go forth to carry
that gospel unto every needy soul.
Let us live the Christ life that we
preach. Let the church, relying upon
the promises of our L ord, strike out
boldly into new fields. Praying for
divine guidance and trusting to the
omniscience of divine love, let us find
our duty and live up to it.
'.Lift up your eyes and look on the
fields, for they are white already to
harvest"
Are you ashamed of the gospel Of
Christi.
