on Verge of Bankruptcy.

Rev. ~. Thomas r. Lewis president
.. Western Maryland college and promi-
nent in tie affairs If the Maryland CON
ference of the Methodist Protestant
Church, whir3 includes the city OF Wash
ington. believes that the layman. as wei
as the minister is called ot God In rs

Gatins class If Western Maryland COL
lese Dr. Lewis, .,ho has many friends in
this city. ~, AIRED that the laymen or
tie churchrs are called 10 holiness and
To b. saints
I'll" belief he said that ministers
are called OF God is universal. but that
laymen are thus called is rarely recos-
nized. Tn" times demand a new definition
of church membership. new movement
in church politics. We have had a long
reign of the preachers church. and we ara
on th" verge. humanity speaking. of bank
ruptcy. In fact. If 1t were not for the
diVlne vitality i'll the church IL would
have been supplanted long ago by other
agencies, and it is significant how many
attempts have been made outside of tIta
churches to meet the needs of human So
cietN. They have their day and cease to
be. because God is in the church and He
has ordained that it shall be the supreme
moral and spiritual force in the renewing
or the world. But ii is reproach to us
who are in the church that man should
ever look elsewhere for help.
Now 1t is time for the preachers
church to give place to the layman's
cluFch. The laymen and not the preach
erS constitute the church. and IL the,
church is inefficient II is not because OF
inefficient preachers, but because Of in
efficient laymen.
"Laymen cannot. as business men, in
dorse the present policies and they cam
not. as Christian men, suffer them to con-
tinue. They must take hold of this
CHRISTIAN business as they long ago took
hold OF the business of making money
and they must make it their business
and make ii pay. The Christian business
OF today needs more Christians in it. and
in 1t more thoroughly and earnestly.
God is calling his lay people not only
to make their religion more efficient. but
to make their efficiency more religious"
