why a mans value to the
church is now estimated by
paying instead of praying?' It
may he possible that there are
some both of ministers and lay
men who put a higher regard
and value on the amount of cash
a man pays than the prayers he
offers to a Throne of Grace"
If such is true, it is wrong; but
it has always been true. There
are now, there ever has been
and there always will be bad
men in the church, in the pulpit
and the pew. The pulpit must
not be measured by these men.
They simply need religion as
men always have and always
will need religion.
Again, Brother Anders asks,
why the M. E. Church with
ner two millions of souls and
seven thousand travelling and
four thousand local preachers,
are in services, why SO much
wrangling among them?"
The figures are wrong. The
M. Z. Church has a membership,
besides ministers, of 3,442,631
and 10, 597 travelling preachers
and Is, 039 local preachers. |
suppose the reason they wrangle
So much is because there are SO
many of them. Yet they wrangle
less, perhaps, than any other
church in proportion to member
ship. Therefore | do not see
the point in the question.
Again. Brother Anders asks:
Why is it that America is
grinding the face of the laity or
the common people, to build up
institutions, clothe and feed the
Africans besides educating them
to a better qualification to tram
pie our institutions and privileges
of our sons and daughters into
the dust?''
hardly know what the brother
means by this question. By
America" does he mean the
church or the state? But itmakes
little difference which in either
case the statement lacks the one
element of truth. There is Tot a
single man, woman or child in
the United States of America
whose face has been ground
for a heather in Africa, China.
India, or any other Place on the
face of the earth. There is not
one cent paid by anybody of
whom have ever yet heard. but
is paid willingly and eheerfully
as a free will offering.
Again, he says: why die
tatorial spirits creeping into the
churches? For instance, the
preacher says: Our conference
collections are due. Please sign
this card. Return it with your
money by such and such date.
If you don't your pastor will have
a poor opinion of you,
In the first place if any preach
her does this, he simply does
wrong, and it is as before stated
that there may be some preach
ers who do wrong. There al
ways have been. But in the sec
ond place it is simply the duty of
a member of the church to do
share in supporting his church.
If ne is the kind of Christian
that he should be, he will not
only do his part. but he will do
it cheerfully.
Again, Brother Anders asks.
why is it that the total amount
expended by the United States
for Foreign Missions is SIG, 000,.

The figures are wrong again.
