CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH NOTES. Sunday,
February 7th, Mr.. Mckinney spoke from a
text from the 18th chapter of John, IF we
know these things, happy are ye if We do
them" Simple philos opby, this. clause from
conversation with he disciples; but applicable
to all times and Places in it the very essence
of religion that works and accomplshes.
Once men were valued for knowledge alone,
then came an era, when carried away by en-
thusiasm the heart predominated. Today So
ciety demands deeds of the hand, and asks not,
how much do you know, or how much DO you
feel, but what you do? And this same prac-
teal question is asked of religion. We may
make our church services attractive that we
create desire for Christianity; by our elo-
quence we may move many eyes to tears--these
are but steps. The true Christian must go all
the way and undergo the discipline of obedi- .
ence to principle, the doing of the things he
knows. Christ unites the philosophy of the
head, the emotions of the heart in the actions
of the hand in religion of doing. knowledge
alone cannot build on anything but cold facts;
emotion without foundation lacks stability.
Both are necessary factors. Foundation there
must be- "Whosever heareth these sayings of
mine and doeth them shall be likened unto a
wise m an who buldeth bis house upon rock
Based upon this sort of foundation the Chris
tain religion need never shrink from investiga-
ton. Then emotion has its place. Christ
giveth to each soul song. Happiness is our
hirthright, but not an end. 1t comes not to
those who seek, but is scattered by the way.
religion all intellect would be 100 small 10r
spiritual needs. The Bible is a constant re-
violation of the need of religion with soul.
Spiritual zeal must touch the feelings to i'm
part warmth and color. Christianity is i'm
possible without tears. Last, after the acknow-
Judgement of the mind and the desire of the
heart, must come the will power to carry out
the conviction. This is where we SO often halt
just outside in the Kingdom. We resolve and
promise and pledge and by the very acts ex-
haust enthusiasm short of the actual
doing. HE that knoweth Gods will and doeth
it not" has failed, and we cannot plead igno-
rance. Christ lived his Spirit into his religion.
1t is written in the Book, not to remain there,
but to be translated into the lives of men,
women and children. He made of his disciples
living epistles to be known and read of all
men. Should we today begin to do the things
we know to translate theory into practice there
would break out most amazing revival of
pure religion, for which the world is waiting in
darkness and sorrow. Are we not willing to
bridge the gap and; turn "oughts into shals"?
Do the things you know, nothing less and moth
in more constitutes Christianity Following
