Another check is the historical and lit
erary study of the Bible. Here again our
flank is threatened and the whole host
in imminent peril. 1t will be long time
tefcre the point of view of intelligent and
believing critics is attained by the whole
body of the churches. But in the mean
time two notes are being sounded, one by
the evangelist who AYERS that Daniel s
lions We're real Ions and the fiery fur
mace contained real fire." the other note
by men who have won the right to be
heard on the subject of Hebrew litera-
tire, but who love their Bibles Just as
deeply as the evangelist. Both these notes
are sounded on the same trumpet, and it
creates confusion in the ranks. They are
alike present in every denomination men
toned above. Not even do Methodists
escape, not even independents, such as
Bartists and Chr stians, for all their de-
votion to the Bible as their only creed.
Not even do Presbyterans escape. though
they have hardly ever shrunk from hunt
ing the critic as hereto. INTO the rela-
tions between the Catholic church and
the inspiration or authority of scripture
this is not the place or time to enter.
T.ut all Professionalism is gravely concerned
when its chosen evangelistic expositor as
serts one thing, and it's chosen teachers
of Biblical literature a quite different
thing about the one book which is funda-
mental to Professionalism.
1t would be an equally easy, and equal
y thankless. task to point out other di-
rections in which the peril of a turned
flank is imminent. Hardly any church
exists in all this land without the presence
of a subtle pervading influence wooing
away or forcing away its men and its
women. Does anyone suppose that an

the situation. A separate chapter on this
topic alone is worth while. 1t Is an in
stance In which the spirit of the world
has invaded the church.
The task of tasks is to settle the re-
iationship anew.
But what could be more serenely
fatal than for Christian folk to think
that each church or sect must meet this
task alone and save itself, whatever
becomes of the others? 1t is the whole
church that is threatened, Catholic as
we'll as Protestant, and for the same
reason, on the same flank. "Saure qui
peut." shall we say? But IL one fails
all will fail.
Surely with mighty voice as OF the
trumpet of an archangel the living
message Is coming to the ears and
hearts of earnest and intelligent men.
Christianity itself Is being ch allenged.
Can it Justify itself? Certainly not with
sermons, not even with gigantic cru
sades. such as this now closing in Bir-
ming CHAM. The law of social unity re-
quires more. The spirit of the city and
of the age demands more. Must we not
see that the spirit of the church Itself
demands more than preaching and
teaching, evangelizing and Bible study,
church membership and "the support of
the ordinances of grace?"
All through its history, Christianity
has been required to do service, miri-
cles and signs of service The sons and
daughters of the church have been the
healers and teachers of their fellows.
The church has demonstrated that she
was no pauper but almsgiver, not
begging a dole, not asking favors, not
spelling the Egyptians. but herself and

evange.istic campaign is the all sufficient
defense against that influence? VIII
evangelism cure people of the Sunday
golf habit? VIII it avail to make the
young ladies of Christian homes prefer
Quaker costumes to the split skirt and
daphanous hosiery when these are in
vogue? VIII an evangelistic crusade shut
off an exhibition of artistic Il, e.. near
ly indecent Salome, either from the city
walls or the boards of the city's chief
opera house? VIII evangelism even pre-
vent the attendance of church people to
view Salome in the flesh? Verify evan
gelsm hath its limitations!
Or again, will the addition OF some hun
dreds of persons to the church roll save
the church from the growing pressure
of interests, which for instance tie the
professional man to his office on Sunday
morning? Or do the churches realize their
concern in what is so tartiy called the
high cost of living?" Can evangelism
avert a coming avalanche on this side?
What possible relation is there between
a campaign for conversions and this
pressing economic problem which will ul-
tin1ately revolutionize or swamp thou-
sands of homes?
Is it not plain that here also the army
of the faithful is threatened the enemy
at work on our flank?
One other illustration must suffice: The
increasing demands of social life have
tempted business men and professional
men everywhere with hunger for more
dollars But IL the wives and daughters
of church men put this ambition upon
their husbands and fathers, what can re-
suit but disaster? Those who do not
choose questionable methods may and too
often do, yield to the fret and worry OF

1T would be great way of saying
what / desire to say this morning
ii could find room for the gist of
very remarkable address by Principal
Forsyth, head of Congregational
preachers seminary, and the foremost
orthodox theologian of England. Very
notable was the occasion of the address,
meeting of the church congress, under
the presidency of the bishop of Win
chester. purely Episcopalian and state
church gathering, by whose invitation
the great free church representative
spoke. Still more remarkable was the
courage he showed in selecting as the
topic for such a time the relation of
the church to society, to what I prefer
to call the community Are these two
institutions. the church and society,
allied or alien? II was throbbing ques-
tion for the free-churchman to handle
before the dlgnitaries and clergy of the
state church. and 1t shows progress
that he should have had a welcome on
such an errand.
Not being able to give Principal Fos-
syth's address in full, and confessir g
that | have local conditions in mind,
let me at least quote these words of
his:
"The church represents social Chris
tianity. 1t Is the greatest society on
earth, because it is the supreme trus-
tee of that unearthly kingdom for which
man and history exist 1t is not indeed
the sole contributor to the Kingdom Of
God. The state. the family, the univef-
sity, the interests of science and art, all

but others will see a reality in his dis
tinctions. What Is implied in the whole
address is that the church is related to
society as its servant in order that she
may perfect and complete the work OF
its salvation, SO that in due time the
era of her activities as the church may
pass into the new era when the King
dom of God shall have come with power
That is, with certain notifications the
ordinary attitude of the mind of the
church. Whether in Protestant, Catholic
or other circles, the church is in the world
as the servant of mankind, as her Mas
ter was. drawing upon the supernatural
resources of His spirit, that so she may
hasten the wheels of His returning char
lot, the coming of the kingdom for which
He taught men to pray.
But another opinion gets itself estab-
lished in many Christian minds, not con-
fessedly but by subtle and devious ways.
1t is the notion that the church is too
weak to stand alone, and has the right
to expect nourishment from the world
Its confession is not IT serve" but II

all the sectarian rivalry and denomina-

tional zeal which characterize modern
Professionalism. 1t is true that we are all
coming to recognize the wastefulness, the
sin. the absurdity of such zeal and such
rivalry; and yet we go on, adjusting our
| selves to them, as we do the fact of
variations in the Temperature And we
could hardly imagine world in which
Christianity would be freed from the Pc

the play of Presbyterian. t,piscopalian,
Catholic Methodist and Independent ideas
and interests upon each other, unless it is
a world altogether Presby yterian, Epfsco-
palian, Catholic, Methodist or independ-
ent.
And so it comes to pass that all the
leaders in church life have come to think
OF the world as a place and a population
to be exploited in the interests of their
denomination. In saying this | am well
aware how strenuously some of my dear
est friends will resent the statement. But

They see their own battalions, but not the

danger of being turned by the enemy.
Not that the ultimate victory is in doubt,
but that a temporary check does occur,
and is present. Such temporary check.
for instance, is the frank renaissance of
pagansm in these days And in the face
of that new paganism, only one of a
myriad activities of the enemy of man
kind, UNCONVENTIONAL interests are as
chaff of the summer threshing floor. Let
us not forget that once the Moslem faith
blotted out Christianity in the east. Perils

the yoke of need and suffering, cut

But this does not lit with the ex-
ploitation methods of modern sectar-
ianism. nor with those wretched days
when the priests .officiate for hire and
the officers vie with each other in run

Most cordially I recognize the value
