Manlfestinu the Spirit OF Christ.

In a discriminating estimate of the
value Of the forces which seem to be
engaged for the advancement of the
kingdom of Christ 1t Is constantly nee
essary to distinguish sharply between
love for a church. enthusiasm for a
method, and championship of cause,
and loyalty to Christ. The one in
fallible tombstone is love for those
who differ. The man who Is harsh and
hateful to those who are not working
on his lines betrays the fact that he
ia in love with his own ideas and
methods, rather than loyal to Christ.
Real loyalty to Christ admits of DIFF
ferences of opinion, but does not ad'
nit of absence of love. There are too
many people who are strong denomi-
nationallsts and ardent theologians,
who do not make the impression that
they are good Observation-Disclosures
