Duty Of Christianity to EvangeIize tho
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor st. John NJ. E. Church. South.
St Louis Mo


Some years ago, the question was
asked: What is a college? The at
tempt to answer it shook the educa-
tional world in America from center
to circumference. Another question is
now beginning to be asked: What is
a church? Without undertaking to
give a definition of it, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
Is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it is
committed.
First, that of evangelization. The
church is divinely commissioned to
reach for the lowest and the least
man in the least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
a divine power, which lifts him out
of the bog and places him upon the
highest levels of human life, where
God and the soul are in fellowship.
This alone were an immense priv
ilege. .,.. sg H.

Teaching the Art of Living.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with it's evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come TO mean a specific thing in our
country, namely, the training of the
people in the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art of living. l am not now speaking
of the work of education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
of education at our doors, in the con-
gregation. Every agency in reach
should be employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made sort of
university for all the people, in which
the simple, practical arts and virtues
of everyday life should be taught and
enforced. Only recently has this
special phase of the church's work re-
ceived anything like adequate atten-
ton. The New Testament word for
it is Publication.
