The Congregational church wa:

of the highest order.
The large crowd listened with
marked attention to the words of the
preacher. who took as his subject,
THE Test of Christianity in Life"
He said that while christianity
usually was interpreted asa creed, an
organization, or matter of personal
belief. it was all of these. to an end.
The end is the production of the high
est and the best life
What christianity has done, and
what it is still doing may be realized
If we should take all that christianity
stands for and has produced in the
world, out of our civilization. The
churches would go. The Bible would
go. The hospitals would go. Our
medical and teaching professions
would cease to exist. and we should
be left without moral safeguards and
motives.
The only religion which provides
for the poor and the sick and the
aged, as well as the So called use
less members Of society was the
Jewish. But in hundreds OF towns
there was no representative of this
faith, and there was no community
OF Jews. Where they existed, they
would keep alive faith in God and the
moral law. Bua they could not do the
work of christianity as they were too
few in number.
The life OF christianity is something
more than mental and certainly some
thing more than physical. It was
greater than both, for it controlled
both. 1t st1oG back of the mind and
the activities, and made life what it
was
II man protested to be chris
tian, and continually displayed only
the attributes of character that were
opposed to christianity, with him
there was no failure of the test, for
he simply had not tried 1t. But
where it has been fairly tried, 1t has
met every test.
In these days the test is stronger
than ever, and it made an appeal to
men OF strength The weakling is
afraid Of it. 1t makes its appeal to
strong men.
