succeeded In preventing the spread of the
flames to the front of the structure, but
the rear portion was SO damaged that it
had to be rebuilt The same general ar
rangement as before has been preserved,
although schoolrooms have been made
larger in some cases, and a special room
has been provided for the members of the
official board of the congregation. This
is handsomely decorated and furnished.
The ark, in the main auditorium. is of
buff-colored marble as before. The large
pillars which support the vaulted arch
roof have been covered with onyx, and in
the general redecoration of the audito-
rum brighter cOlOrs have been used.
One of the most effective of the new
pictures is the representation of the Ten
Commandments being thrust out through
clouds by unseen hand. The Ten
Commandments are written in gilt let
tiers, and the entire design is placed con-
spicuously over the ark. In the dome
above it is a group of figures representing
Dawn.

charge of the redecoratng work was

dren have been taken in and given the
best of care. Mothers in destitute con-
dition. with small children, are also taken
into the home
In recent report to the board of direc-
tors, Mrs. Elizabet Is. F'leck. the super
intendent of the home. says: Whatever
desire to care for destitute children arises
In human hearts, and is planted there by
the Savior OF the world who himself de-
clared the words of inspiration and power.
With this knowledge. the work was un-
dertaken and has been successfully con-
tinued, and we are now permitted 10 look
at the progress made steadily through the
years. This tender plant of our endeavor
was set up in this city in faith toward
God and toward His people, believing that
neither the one nor the other would allow
1t to shrivel up and die for lack of sun
shine and nourishment."
Through all the years Of the existence
of the Bruen Home the spirit of home
has never been allowed to depart. When
the children first arrive it is the earnest
endeayor of Mother Fleck to see that
they are made comfortable and that the
spirit of home life will grow up with
them. While of course there are rules
for the governing of the children they
have been reduced to a minimum. The
little ones are sent to the public schools
as soon as they reach the proper age, but
going to and. from school they are not
compelled to march. This has been pur-
posely avoided: 1t is stated, i'm the .Affort
to impress upon the child that he is an
individual in the home Life and not SC
much an inmate of an institution flying

This. it is stated, constitutes the funda-

o. the Bruen Home for Destitute Children
and Mothers with Children. The home Is
located at 1876 NJ street northwest. Fol-
lowing several years OF what has been

charitable spirit is said to be shown. by
those in charge. While children without
homes are taken and raised, many Of the

Church Of The Future

cent Sermon-Says There Will Be No Pink Tea

Rev. Or. s. II. Woodrow. pastor of the
First congregational Church preached re-
Gently on ''The Church Of the Future"
pointing out clearly its pillars. In part,
he said
q" And gave him to be head over all to
the church Eph. i:22
Life is series of adjustments 10 en-
vironment. Where these changes or ad-
!ustments cannot be made death ensues
Plant, animal and man are alike under
this law. Environment conditions
growth. but growth changes environment
BtisinesS constantly adapts itself to new
conditions. Modern business takes into
account the telegraph and the cable the
fast freight and the ocean liner. An Of
flee without telephone, a typewriter a
ruanifolder, Il card catalogue and a dozen
other labor saving devices that were un-
known twenty-five years ago would be an
anomaly. To change, then. means life and
growth.
There are certain respects in which
the church is always the same and others
in which she is constantly changing. She
proCaims the eternal truth of God. but IL
must be i'm the language of the age else
She speaks 10 deaf ears. With every pass
ing age there should be A larger appre-
bension and a clearer enunciation of the
truth.
No one can predict what the church
Of The future will be- but it does not take
q prophet to declare that the church of
tomorrow is being nourished in the bosom
who are now growing up in our homes
and being trained in our churches will
DC the church OF the future. The ideals
of Christian life. noble character and he
roic service with which they are now
inspired will determine their future pow
er ana efficiency. II the young people of
today learn TO take their religion easily,
with thought of seif-denials to say
nothing of self-sacrifice; IL they are one
with the world in all their pleasures and
amusements: If their ideals of Christian
chara cter. and fraternal service are low,
then ire future outlook is gloomy. But
if their devotion to truth and duty and
their love and loyalty TO Jesus are made
of para amount importance then the future
is radiant with hope
THE changes through which We have
been passing have SO far progressed that
we can see certain outlines OF that future
church with comparative clearness.
ut will be a social church. Men and
women should come to church to seek
forgiveness of sin and strength for daily
tasks: come TO pray and worship. 1t Is
time that Laura and the whole tribe OF
the Gadites learned that church service
may fulfill its purpose without giving

free lunch al the close. When all this

more in their specially than the minister
can possibly know. Judges. statesmen.
scientists. educators and many others
devote their life to a special line and
accumulate vast fund of knowledge.
THE minister has still his place. He
must be the religious expert. He must
know more about religion and the relig-
iOus life and the means necessary for It's
nurture than any other. With this he
can have general knowledge of and
sympathy with every line of human
thought and progress. No edict from
however high a source can turn back
the tide Of modernism. TO do so is to
forbid men to think.
Christians have often been very
timid folk. afraid of every man with
biologists hammer. an astronomer s
telescope or scientists microscope.
They have been afraid that somehow an
intelligent Creator would be driven from
the universe and perfect Savior from
fear We stand in the world knowing
that it is Gods worlds and that truth
wherever found is Gods truth 1t takes
greater and more wonderful God to rule
over the universe that modern science
has revealed than 1t did to rule over the
world of the ancients. The God of all
wisdom is not grieved with the increasing
knowledge Os His children. With all in
crease OF knowledge there are some
things of which We may be certain. In
right to do right: in all time and in all
worlds love will be beautiful: in all time
and in all worlds self-sac-ificing labor
for the good of others will be divine.
The church Of the future will be prac-
tical-that is. it will put it's beliefs into
practice Belief and life have been too
long divorced. There has been too wide
a gulf between the truth we knew and
the truth we lived. In ever-increasing
measure right thinking must issue In
right living. What is revealed as train
to the reason will become law to the
will. The highest wisdom is not in know
ing what is right. but in doing it.
Religion will thus permeate every form
Of human life. 1t will bless the home
life, give character to education. establish
break down class and race prejudice.
1t is only as religion is thus practiced that
IT becomes a power for good.
THE church of the future will exalt
Christ He has never had His rightful
place in art, architecture or theology.
Apostles and saints have usurped HIS
place in art, and theology has Petrine,
Pauline and John rather than Christian.
1--WE have fallen on better days and yet
better are to come.
God gave Him to be the head Of all
things to the church; His life and His
teaching are above dispute.
LET mental culture advance from less
to more; let science increase In breadth
and depth: let the human intellect expand
as 1t may; it will never get beyond the
moral grandeur of Jesus teaching nor
rise above the beauty of his sinless life.
Men and women in ever-increasing
numbers will say with the wise men. we
have seen His star and have come to
worship Him.

fatherhood implies universal brotherhood.
There is a craving for friendship that
will become more and more apparent
as men and women are crowded into our
large cities. The church is the place
where all external distinctions should
drop away and men should meet upon
the level of their great needs and in
the light of their eternal hopes. The
church must create an atmosphere of
mutual love and fraternal helpfulness.
This is her social function.
THE church Of the future will be an
intelligent church. Never was there so
much general information in the world
as today, but there will be more tomor-
row.
