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. ] 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 al 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 chureh's work re-
ceived anything Ike adequate atten-
ton. The New Testament word for
it is Edification.

Duty Of Christianity to Evsnoelixe the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, o. D.
Pastor St. John NJ E. Church. South.
St Louis. No.

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
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 1t 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.

School of Religion Needed.

OF course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work, although the
activities of the church should extend,
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to be SO
named. It should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School or
something else that indicates it to be
an an-the-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes,
musical organizations, culture courses,
as we'll as distinctly religious meetings,
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods. as we shall see. offer fine
opportunities for the development or
things spiritual
The third task to which the church
is committed is that of Outstanding
the social order. that of infusing the
spirit Of Jesus into every nook and
corner Of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest OF the church.

NeiehbOrly Love Essential.

If religion pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious bust
ness. for it will let no corner of the
world escape its influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not
thing to be practiced in a corner the
better for the world. The question OF
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
tianity, was. Can II be made to square
with the human reason? OF the nine
teenth. Can 1t be made to square with
the results of scientific research? OF
the twentieth, What can 1t dor We
must learn to enforce not only love OF
God. whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
in constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
1t may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him. II he
is a genuine follower of the Christ.
1t is the mission of the ehurch-ths
rural as we'll as the city-to evange-
lie the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom 1t evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.

Harrisonhurg Saturday afternoon. Pre-
cinct meetings for the election of dele
gates TO the convention will be held
on Saturday, August ri.
The meeting was an entirely har-
monious one, the only difference In
opinion being as to the date on which
the convention should be held. Several
of the committeeman thought August
rs a little early hut Cid not insist on a
later date when ma jority was count
ed In favor of an early convention.
