Christianity

By the Rev. Charles Stelzle
(Church Efficiency Erpert and
Consulting SOciOlOgist; formerly
head of Social Service Bureau of
the Presbyterian church,
Here s good text to begin with:
eff any man have not the spirit of
Christ, he is none of his But
there are a great variety of opin-
ions as to what that spirit is.
This difference of opinion among
men with regard to the nature Of
Christianity is due to the fact that
1t has to do with life. AS life ex-
pands, our conception of all relat-
ed subjects changes. We do not
believe about anything just what
we believed about it ten years ago,
provided that we are living and
growing. A row Of fence posts,
placed alongside the road, will re-
main the same for many years, or
until they rot. But row of trees,
planted in the same place, will
grow, and hence change, every day,
because they are living.
That mems opinions concerning
Christianity change is not against
it. 1t is rather in favor of Chris
tianity and in favor Of the men
whose minds are expanding. For
while the fundamental basis of
Christianity must always remain
the same, and while the fundamen-
tai principles of mems characters
are eternal, both are capable Of in
finite expansion.
Our conception of Christianity
depends largely upon our peculiar
natures or our previous environ
ment
To the Russian Jew Christianity
means the brutality Of kieff or
Kishenev. To others it means the
Catholicism of South America or OF
some half-enlightened European
country. TO still others it means
the Professionalism of former gen.
Grafton or even the monstrosities
that have grown round about it IN
our own day. 1t must be apparent
to all that there have been times
when the church has sadly mis-
represented Christianity.
It is being said that christian
ity is losing it's grip upon the
masses" This is not true. Chris
tianity has stronger hold upon
the people. 1t may or may not bt
true that the church is losing it:
grip, but, in all fairness, just az
organized labor demands that i
shall be judged not by its wors
characteristics, but by it's bes
hopes and aspirations, so tn
church must be judged not by 1T
weakest members, but by it's bes
output.
Neither is "religion" Christian
ity. Some men are very religious
Newark post., 1914-01-21

but they are not very good Chris
tians. You have heard of men
who have become insane because
they had too much religion, but
you never heard of man who be-
came insane because he had too
much Christianity.
Christianity is not primarily a
scheme to increase the population
of heaven. Its cardinal principles
is that given by it's founder: "He
that saveth his life shall lose it,
and he that loseth his life for the
sake of his fellow-men) shall find
it." Its purpose for it's followers
is not to get to heaven, but to
bring heaven down to earth. Prin-
cipally, then, Christianity is char
acter and hfe-the possession and
the manifestation Of the life and
the spirit Of Christ.
But this does not mean the life
Of the monk. Great and good men
have secluded themselves from the
sin Of the world and the power of
its temptation by entering monas-
terry. But such a life is abnormal.
1t cannot possibly be the typical
life for you and me and all man
kind. The work of the world needs
to be done. There is fighting and
planning and building.
Nor yet is it the life Of the
"Pharisee" who is too good to min
gle with the common folks of earth
the people who sweat and toll
and soil their hands-because they
are doing mems work as only men
can do it. Christ made friends Of
the lowliest of his day.
Neither is the Christian life that
of the Stole. The Puritans were
noble characters, but for most of
them this world was bowling will
derness. To them mirth and laugh
ter were the signs of an unregener-
: ate soul Christianity does not de-
mand that man shut his heart and
mind to the beautiful things of the
world-the flowers and the ferns,
the skies and the sunshine, the
rocks and the rivers, the melody OF
music. Christ's life Was a con.
slant protest against the narrOu
spirit Of the Puritan. He disre.
garded altogether the ecclesiastical
aristocracy of his day and the social
aristocracy of his period. Instead
, of making his religion one of sack
cloth and ashes, he represented the
Christian life as feast.
The healthy Christian life is liv'
ed in the world among men and is
; interested in their everyday af
fairs. 1t is lived at the primary
, and in the labor union. 1t is liveC
t in the shop and in the Office and il
= the home. There is nothing which
l concerns the well-being of men
: which can be alien to the Christian
life.
1t does not involve a belief IN I'M,
: possible DOGMA. 1t does not de
mand an absolute acceptance OF the
= inspiration of the Bible, in the mar
row sense that some men insist up
, on. 1t asks principally that th'
r man who wishes to become Chris
= tian shall bring his life into con
formity with the life and the pur
y pose of Christ, and that he shall
!. accept Christ as the governing
q power of his life, helping to carr.
E out his will and plan for the re
, demption of the world.
6 THIS IS Christianity.
