touch Of brotherhood. We are to
be in the world, but not Of it.
People talk about the breadth Of
theology Breadth is not the only
essential; we need height just as
truly.
The next term we notice in the
text is height. This we interpret as
meaning God. Length and breadth
are only valuable as the quality of
God comes into the life. Religion,
peace and power comes from having
God in our lives. ~. 4
It is an.upward reach and as we
get the height into bur life we come
to Gods great purpose for us. We
need to confer together and to con-
fer about the work aud the purpose
of the Kingdom. 10 take God into
our life and find his. fullness in us.
These three qualities, length, breadth
and height we find perfection in
Jesus. e. =. r. a. .:..,-.. =.
He is the paramount example and
perfection of the nobility and peace
of life, that we might fashion our
lives after him. This is the reason
why men listen to the Gospel.
Christ also stands as the perfection
of brotherhood. r.: .--
First in teaching his disciples;
mothers brought little children to
him, that He might place his hands
upon them and bless time. His
disciples would have hindered the
mothers, fearing that they might
interrupt the Savior as he told
some of the great. truths, but he
rebuked the disciples and said,
Suffer little children to come unto
me, and forbid them not, for of such
is the kingdom of Heaven" What
a scene! The Son of God, Lord of
Heaven and King of Kings placing
his hands on the heads of the chill
dren.
The second instance: Jesus had
been teaching all day. The people
were wearied and hungry and he
said to his disciples, Give we them
to eat; do not send them away
hungry" and he fed the 5000.
This shows the height of Christ in
his tender sympathy and compassion.
The third instance: A poor leper,
an outcast from whom all shrank,
came to Jesus and said, If Thou
whilst, Thou canst make me Clean"
Immediately, as flash, Jesus put
forth His hand and said, Il will"
and the leper was cleansed. His
sympathy and brotherhood touched
the whitened leper, giving him
happiness and health and piece.
Buddhism was a religion of heaven.
They fixed their minds on the
Infinite and forgot all about men and
paid no attention to the suffering
and sorrow of their fellow beings.
I Christian Science is Buddhism
with Christian label to it.
The Greeks had the religion of
breath, made everything of man but
left God out.
Today we seem to be drifting to
the same thought. We want all the
blessings that Christianity gives but
on the Grecian basis. Now
Christianity contains all these
principals in symmetry. 1t develops
noble purpose and does not leave
out brotherhood.
DR.. Charles E. Bradt spoke on the
theme, The New Evangelism.
Much is said and written about
new evangelism these days.
Some think it should be civic
affair, or others that it should per-
tain to such questions. These are
good but they miss the main point.
The new evangelism is the evange-
Ilism Of evangelization. It is a
gospel for lost world given to
every creature. Ever since Christ
came this new evangelism has been
in operation; new in method, in
message and new motive. The new
motive in evangelism which is here
set forth, is world motive.
We have talked, and still talk,
about ! love for the lost world
Love for country and love fol
! friends IS merely natural love and
