A Plea For MOdernity
In Church Methods

What might be called democracy OF
the church is being advocated by one OF
our most progressive clergymen. Dean
MARQUIS. who does not believe in closing
ones eyes TO conditions and lulllng one
self with false hopes, but rather realizing
that the time has come for the active
participation of the church in civic and
social life, announces the fact and sets
about to fit the church to the men IN the
best and highest sense.
There was time when doctrine was
everything and the broad precepts of re-
ligion were either taken for granted or
were passed over for minor questions.
This is a practical age and the Amerl-
cans like to see the results of their labors
in some material sense. They are not
as imaginative and philosophical as other
peoples and are not satisfied that the
seed sown now may bear fruit hum
dred years hence. Also the most cher
ished doctrines over which battles royal
have been fought by churchmen and
their congregations in times past, seem
to the average American man of very ht-
tie consequence. What he wants is to re-
turn to simple fundamentals, the Golden
Rule. the Brotherhood of Man, the sacri-
fee for principle and ideal which are the
embodiment of the Christian religion.
There are the things which if applied
will help him to live here and now, and
his church attendance is in direct ratio
to the comfort and assistance in his daily
living which he receives from the institu-
ton.
Dean Marquis sees all this and says
1.-THE church must meet the changes
which are taking place in the world OF
it will be cast aside by the world as {
useless thing" and goes on to tell US
that the religion of the future must b'
one of public service"
This does not mean less religion, bu'
more. 1t means not only community
of spirit (Which we have come rather t.
accept on faith than to experience), but
a community of men, who will touch
hands and be their brother keeper" il
the highest sense of the word.
This is the tendency in all branches OF
our life. The industrial magnate is be
coming more and more imbued with the
idea that his business cannot be 'separat
ed from the good of his workmen. The
people of the city are beginning to real
ize that they are citizens in truth and
that the city is not thing apart.
Nationally we are trying to take The
foreigner to ourselves and educate hin
for his and our good, and the church
must fall in line. Six days DO men labor
and the church which has only to do witt
part of the seventh is bound to fal
through weakness, for it is man whc
makes the church after all without MAJ
there would be no church.
