to the Cross of Calvary for new grasp
of her vital convictions. The Church's
life needs the sacrifcial element as
truly as it does her philosophy. In
no captious spirit it may be forcefully
and sadly recorded that the rich and
powerful and prosperous Church of
to-day does not show the print of the
Nails as clearly as she should. Relig-
ion is sleek and comfortable. Even
the ministry, which has gone to its
might by the way of Calvary, is be-
coming one of the most assured of

is the broken heart of Christ that
breaks hearts. The uniform testi-
mony of the Church through the CEN
turies is that Christ on the Cross
wherever faithfully held up does
draw men to Himself. In that power
she may dare all things. Sensational
sermons on current topics may draw
the frivolous-ninded to Church, but
the presentation of Christ crucifled
wins lives.
So the passion of this wise preach
er Paul was simply Christ. He
might have out-argued on philo-
sophical grounds all the savants in
these centers of learning. Wherever
he started he ended at the Cross.
''or 1 am determined not to know
anything among you, save Jesus
Christ, and Him crucified." What
won old Corinth is the only gospel that
will win the modern American city-a
Saviour dying for mans redemption,
and calling His own to a life of sacri-
fetal service.

While the Cross is winning great VIC

it come once more to it's own in the

THE Foolishness of Preaching"
Here is the wonderful thing about
Christianity. It's success has come by
telling the story of the Cross, and
living the life of the Cross. Not by
eloquence, not by leadership, not by
worldly power, but simply by hold
ing up the Crucified the Church has
won her victories among men. This
Paul calls the foolishness of preach
ing; but by it the world is to be
saved Also he remarks ut is the

than men. God hath chosen the
