Ihe Rev. Mr.. Long maintained that
criticism is made of doctrines which
nave nothing to do with the work
and ministry of love for which the
cnurch OF to-day stands. The things
crltlc1sed he says cannot all be found
IN one church, but that in many of
the churches some of the things
spoken of do exist.
The fact that John Holder remains
IN the church is victory for the
church, he asserted. The book he
says Will have the effect of puncturing
the self-complacency with which the
cnurch has been viewing itself. The
IDEAS or a man of the day will give
the church another viewpoint of itself
and enable 1t to dig down and bring
up those things which are essential
and throw out what is useless, anti
quated or outgrown.
