is the method by which attractions are
purchased to draw prop to church.
The simple gospel and the doctrine Of
a crucifed savior has lost whatever
charm it might have originally possess
ed Something new must be evolved,
dug out and put on exhibition. Class
ical selections are produced. by hand
somely paid singers and in order to
hold an exclusive call upon their SER
vices contracts are made in which
large sums Of money are involved and
advertisement resOrted to in order to
let the public know what the partic-
ular attraction consists of. Famous
sopranos, tenors, baritones, etc., are
eagerly sought after, and this has de-
veloped a struggle between the
churches, sometimes of the same de-
nominational character, for possession
of these crack soloists. Then again,
time muse be given to rehearsal and
this draws upon the surplus energy of
the choir. All this, cries this cowboy
gospel puncher, is wrong, and he
would wipe it from the church cur
riculum. Understand, he wants to
keep the musicians and he wants them
to work to help earn his own salary by
agreeing to donate their time and
talents to his church.
Let the good work go on. Let the
singers and musicians be thrust out of
the churches The church is not the
place for them anyway. Music denotes
joy. Singing, true singing, comes only
from happy heart. There is neither
joy or happiness within the clustered
walls of an orthodox church and there
is wide field for all such joyous
talents on the outside. Cheer human
ity. If there is a god he does not need
to be cheered. He can find no special
delight in continually hearing his own
praises sung aloud. Men and women
can enjoy good music 1t stimulates
and cheers. Music is not en- rapport
with preaching for it is a sure thing
that the preaching will spoil the music
while the music cannot help the
preaching. On the other hand if all
the churches were to refuse to pay
their leading singers the latter would
leave and seek employment elsewhere
and this would mean a decreasing con-
gregation until the parson would be
left with the holy ghost for company.

THE MISSION HAS FAILED.

1he mission OF Christ is to reveal
the father-who is love and fre-and
to save the world" Universalist
Herald.
Then indeed has Christ s mission been
a miserable failure. Not has he failed
in offering the slightest revelation of
1.-THE father" but he has not yet suffi-
GENTLY revealed himself.
In spite of this so-called Christians,
protesting Christians, will waste words
anent missions, revelations and the
father, but the definition given of
such father is enough to make the
laws Of gravitation reverse themselves.
Love and Fire" The former is a
misnomer in any event, and the latter
may be accepted as symbolically true,
for wherever the name of this sup
posed father has been carried it has
fallen upon the people as an all-con-
suming fire, not with a view to en-
hancing the feeling of love but to in
spire them with fear. Crude notions
of deity beget crude system of re-
ligiOn. Intelligence knows no deity,
and, consequently it desires no re-
gods have wrought strife and emmity
by heaping Goals Of fire upon the un-
protected heads Of men and women,
while the suffering occasioned by be-
lief in him, the miseries provoked, the
hatreds engendered, all because of an
alleged belief in these gods, have led
men away from themselves and moth
ing confronted them but the dead sea
fruit.
AS for Christ's supposed mission,
one might say we can never know what
it really was or is. So many different
missions have been ascribed to him by
men and women who could not posi-.
bly, know and they have furnished only
the products OF their own imagina-
tions. So far as we have been able
to learn, the one mission of this sup
women to believe in him and in his
divinity, to win the world to a special
system of worship to himself. Grant
ing that this was his mission then his
most ardent followers must admit that
it is failure, and destined to become
even greater failure. Every day the
world is drawing further from Christ
and taking more to humanity. There
are more infdels today than there were
yesterday. There will be more inf.
dels tomorrow than there are today,
and with progressive forces combining
for good their number will continue
to increase with every tick of the
clock. Men are no longer terrorized
by threats of gods of fire. Gods Of
love are being tried but the scheme

EPIGRAMS.

From SUNDAY Sermon byRev. III. Preston
There is a life of small perspective
and there is a life of large perspective.
There is a life circumscribed by it's
own hopes and gains; there is a life
which merges itself into the worlds
life, and "he only lives in the worlds
life who has renowned his own"
Even u love is selfish. We elect
the object of our love, and at once we
seek to surround the object with a
jealous and sacred isolation, seeking
in all things separation fromthe worlds
life.
Our grief is selfish. The very
symbols of mourning are the drawn
blind, the closed house, and the d
rate and sad way. Grief projects it's
own personal emotion overa all who are
near.
Love, as Jesus understood it, is a
large unreasonable word. He on
ceives it as a mighty wave of charity,
sweeping over, not only ones kith and
kin, but the lonely and the outcast.
Jesus by His words and life teaches
that the needs of the race must always
stand before all personal claims and
even before all personal sorrows, how
ever sacred. No anguish of heart a
excuse our forgetfulness of the agony
of others.
There is no more terrible picture
in all the teaching of Christ than the
picture of the man who ignored the
outcast. His name was Dives and the
outcast was a beggar at the gate, call
ed Lazarus.
Jesus never forgets the out cast and
the sinner. He stretches out to you
His hand to help, the hand wounded
for your transgressions. He opens 10
you His heart to sympathize, the heart
bruised for your iniquities.
