Emphasis on Spiritual Function.

The spiritual function Of the church
must receive a new emphasis. Our dan
ger today is not that we will neglect the
social and practical side of Christianity,
hut that we will treat too lightly the spir-
itual and mystical. The living. beating
heart of the church takes into its pur-
pose and sympathy and ministry every
need OF man But it must not be for
gotten that in her service to man the
church has a function peculiarly her
own, and unless she fills that func-
ton 1t will not be fulfilled. That
function is ministry to mans spiritual be-
ing. Back Of all the unrest that disturbs
our day, whether that unrest is revealed
in the discomfort Of the poor or in the
feverish quests of pleasure or OF wealth
on the part of the rich. is the souls cry
for God, whether men know it or not.
The church must answer that cry by
bringing Christ and His love to the
knowledge OF men.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-05-16
Note Of Warning.

The comparatively small number Of
accessions to the church on confession
of faith sounds note of warning and
appeal The stated clerk of the general
assembly is authority for the statement
that "of our 1OO51 churches 3, 739, or 81 per
cent, reported no additions on confess
sion of faith to their membership during
the year 1911"
The evangelistic fire must be kindled
in every church. After much talking
about 1.-The enthusiasm of humanity.
.'the service of man.. social ministry
and other freezing distractions We must
come back to the Masters love of men.
The church has become so overlaid. II
not stifled. by a congerie Of societies
and guilds and movements that 1t is lost
sight of. except when criticised for fail
ure to support innumerable movements.
Let churchmen who in zeal and devotion
are promoting so many movements con-
centrate their thought and energy upon
the churches with which they are con-
nected and work through these churches.
and the results will Justify and reward
the concentration Of their interest and
energy.

Church in the United States of America
organized their 124th General Assembly
in Louisville today, the first in many

DR.. Mark A. Matthews of Seattle would
receive a larger vote on the first ballot
than either Rev. DIR. James G. *. Nc

election it was expected that the name
