G. Dram, of the II Street Christian
mont Avenue Christian Church, and
Rev. c. 1. Stack espoused the cause of

Christ, declaring that His life inter-
preted His words as His words inter-
preted His life. and appealed to the
work.
Church Still Lives.
Basing their arguments along the
church universal. they declared that de-
spite what people say. that there is a
church which is praying yet; that
though some who are not of Christ, dis
honor the church's membership and
through selfishness and self-righteous-
ness dim its ideal. there is still a church
which is the divinely appointed instru-
ment of blessing: and that God has re-
vealed His purpose to sanctify His
church into more and more Of winsome
power.
still further. that the church may ever
faithfully proclaim Christ and his gospel;
that she may always recognize individual
regeneration as a basis of social perfect
ness; that she may reckon nothing human
as alien to her care-a serving, self-Sacri-
fcing united. triumphant church,
vt doesn't matter what your creed
may be-" said Rev. Mr.. Ainslie. while
men differ in prayer. creed, and belief,
their prayers are all alike. Though we
don't agree with him in all his points, his
prayer is the same as ours. Christ comes
before all creed and he should be the
creed Of every true Christian" In con-
clusion he quoted a well-known minister
who formerly declared that all creeds
and Achurch traditions are fossils and
shoub be laid on museum shell es.
