 Dr. Spiegel Speaks
 The Rev. O. P. spiegel. pastor of the Central Christian church of Montgomery, and for some years in charge of the First Christian church of this city, delivered the jubilee sermon. having for his topic. | 'The Plea of the Disciples of Christ for Christian T1nion." pr. Spiege said in | part as follows:
 '"rhe church is an organization, hence the head suffers with it's members. and | hence denominationalism cannot be a ! finality. All things are yours, says Paul. | but denominationaism is deprivation and l impoverishment of soul. Why feed on 1 huslss when the Kings feast Is spread 1 The body is a unit. Scattered limbs, | eyes hearts, feet, trunks are not a body. | A body must have unity and symmetry. l So with the body of Christ. Christian union is the necessary means of realz- l ing the end of the cliirchs mission, the l propagation of the Lords message, that l the world may believe.
