Spiritual Danger
of World Is Great
BoIsheyissD Threatens Destruction of
All Religious Principles, Says
DIR. Maciachlan.

Referring To the sweep of Bolshe-
visn over Russia and part of the
central powers, and its threatened
attack on all civilization. Rev H. d.
C. Maclachlan, ID. ID, declared last
night in his sermon at Seventh Street
Christian church that the world was
today facing it's gravest spiritual dan
ger for :. 900 years.
He denounced the heathenish doc
trines as the frank avoWai of mate
rialism as the ultimate rule OF life.
the denial Of God, the rejection of all
discipline, the erection of envy, greed,
murder and lust 10 the rank OF civic
virtues,
The subject OF Dr. Msclachlan's
sermon was The Most, Exciting
Fact" which dealt principally with
the question of immortality. His
text was Second Timothy. 1;l0. lie
said
do not know whether have cho-
sen my adjective WELL but the thing
want to suggest is something like
" hat the children feel when you tell
them you have something new in store
for them on the morrow. They are
excited, are they not--keyed up ex-
pcctant. curious" They besiege YOU
with questions. They prepare for the
adventure. They look forward to its
coming.
In this sense, then. say that tho
most exciting fact in the universe is
or at least ought to benin ort atty.
Death. the gateway as we profess to
believe of immortality, has become
prosaic. because it is common, and
common things always In the end be-
come commonplace. But why should
1t be prosaic? Why should it be COM
mopplace? Is II not the great adven-
ture? Ii 1t is a. journey, Is 1t not
into an unknown country? IL it Is a
voyage is il not into an uncharted
sea? And ought IL not to be possible
to have something OF the same feel
ing towards It as the navigators OF
the sixteenth and seventeenth centu-
RIGS had?
AS matter OF fact. however few
of us have that feeling. We are
afraid of death We haul down the
nag to it. So afraid are we OF 1t that
we do not even want to talk about it.
Shakespeare has voiced the well-nigh
universal sentiment:
'4Ay, bur to die and go we know not
where.
To lie in cold obstruction"
The very uncertainty of what lies
beyond chills us:
''Ah, but TO know not when with
friends we sit
Aet 1t is possible 10 take more
cheerful view. IT is possible to be
Interested in death.
Now l want TO say that the last
quotation EN- bodies the true Christian
attitude towards death. There is not
the slightest doubt that the early
Christians had largely conquered the
fear of death. When the apostles
started out to evanGelixe the world
they had two weapone--the theory
and practice of love. OF course and
the doctrine of immortality II is
hard to say which was the most po-
tent. The writer to the Hebrews
speaks of Christ having delivered
those who through fear Of death were
all their lifetime subject to bondage"
That was literally true them Death
was not only negligible to the Chris
uans of the. first century: 1t was the
triumphant gateway into NE Of
glory. More than tnat. the immor-
tally they believed in was real. cone.
