Duty of Christianity to EvangeIIze the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor ST. John NJ L. 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.
