NOT 0RATGRY, BUT GOSPEL,
HAS POWER TO SAVE SOULS

The church's message can only be
effective when the spirit and life of
its members are consistent with its
teachings, says n writer in the Living
Church. We cannot escape the obliga-
ton of that love which alone fulhls the
law and will secure peace and good
fellowship. My experience obliges me
to believe that the first and great
necessity Is to have Christians reor-
Gantzc and the members considered as
the church. and not, as at present the
ministry. Every member should feel
an individual responsibility and make
both individual and united effort. The
people, including the labor element
cannot he drawn to the church by mere
oratorlcal efforts on the part Of the
ministers. 1t Is the plain and simple
Gospel alone that saves. and whose
power cannot fail to bring into har-
mony even those whose interests in life
are widely different.

and are TO be congratulated.
The debate had been an annual
affair until two years ago when 1t
was discontinued. Last year its re-
instatement was agitated and final
ly agreed upon, and accordingly a
challenge was issued by one of the
two societies. The debate was re-

five weeks before the debate and

RELIGIOUS DYSPEPSIA AND &c
CLESIASTICAL GOVT

In the February Woman's Home
Companion the Rev. Charles Sickle,
superintendent of the Bureau of So
cial Service of the Presbyterian
Board of Home Missions, writes an
interesting article entitled, Making
the Church Do Real Work" II is a
practical talk on the business of the
church and how the church can
best accomplish the purpose for
which it was organized. DR.. Sickle
makes the point that the cost Of sal
walton in some churches is too high.
He does not refer to the money cost
Of producing converts, but he re-
fers to the inefllciency of many
churches and to the poor service
they perform to their communities.
Following is an extract from his ar
ticle:
THE way to discover whether or
not a particular enterprise is efll-
Client is to find out the purpose for
which it was organized. What,
then, is the business of the church?
What is il trying TO accomplish?
Some think that it is simply to
build up the saints in their most
holy faith But this is not the
whole truth. IL is an important
part of the church's work TO care for
the saints, but, really, some of the
saints have been richly fed for so
long time, and they have exercis-
ed so little, that they are suffering
from religious dyspepsia and eccles-
iastical govt.
There are very specific scriptur-
al commands TO this effect: Go out
into the highways and hedges and
compel them to come in is one.
Here's another: Go we into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
creature het's settle il that the
best kind of q church member is
the one who is more concerned
about the soul of his brother or
sister than he is about his own.
Somebody once said to Canon
WHEREFORE: How is il about your
soulY And the great man replied:
I've been so busy trying TO help
these poor slaves that | forgot I
had SOUL No doubt he was near
er the kingdom of heaven than the
zealot who asked the question.
