What the church really means IS
vaguely realized by many people" said
Rev. J. W. r. Sumwalt. superintendent
of the Washington district Of the Balti-
more Conference. at the dedication Of
several windows in the McKendree NJ.
E. Church last night
Every building stands for something"
said Mr.. Sumwalt The saloon is q
place OF damnatlon, the theater place OF
recreation. II is the aim of the church
to be a place Of salvation. But does the
church carry out its mission?
Never will a church meet its purpose
If It is merely comprised OF a body OF
men. 1t is not simply a fraternal or
ganization or band of men seeking
lofty objects. It IS a partnership with
God. II you know what the will of God
is, you have not far to go to know the
mission OF the church. The church Is in
the world to transform persons out OF
a condition OF crime into a place OF
safety. And though some people are so
pessimistic as to believe the entire world
cannot be saved, they are mistaken. 1t
can be, and that is the mission OF the
church"

SEES MODERN PENTECOST.
Rev. led ii. COPp Expects Great
Awakening of Laymen.

The empty pew of to-day is but an
open mouth crying out against the ma
terial fullness and the spiritual formality
OF the times said Rev. Zed H. Copp. at
Bethany Chapel last night, while dis
coursing on the topic: The transformed
Christian"
He said the basis Of religious life was
sacrifice and worship. which resulted
from a deep sense Of obligation and devo-
ton TO God for blessings temporal and
spiritual. but that the church, having
grown rich and triumphant from a world
ly standpoint. was depending too much
on It's own resources. and not enough on
God. He rejoiced at the great awaken
ing Of the laymen throughout America.
and thought it would result in a modern
Pentecost.

NOT A NEW IDEA.

Rev. DR.. Woodrow Speaks OF The
Church and Disease"
Rev. Samuel H. Woodrow. pastor OF the
First Congregational Church. In hts SER
mon yesterday morning. on the subject OF
The church and disease" said:
THE intermingling OF religion and
medicine is not a new thing In days
past the profession OF priesthood included
the teacher and the doctor. This was
true In Egypt and Palestine. Later came
the tendency toward specialization. and
the priest. the teacher. and the doctor
became separated.
The cure OF disease without medicine
has had a great vogue in our day. as
evidenced by the Christian Science move
ment. Dowlelsm. the Emmanuel move
ment, and kindred faiths. The Emmanuel
movement IS an attempt 10 have the
church and the physician work together"
