storm, but to equip us to deliver the
goods.
Yesterday many good people
thought Of the church rs an institution
to give comfort to the dying and pre-
pare the souls Of those who ask forgive
ness for the Day of Judgment and the
unknown life beyond. Today we are
beginning TO realize It's greater mission.
For individual sin II still offers the ono
and only remedy, but II II is to be
power in the world that is, 1t must apply
the principles of Jesus to heal not only
the individual but the SOCIAL life.
The American Church has hereto
fore had remedy for drunkenness, but
only this year has 1t abolished tho
organized liquor traffic. Heretofore II
has offered to each seeker an adequate
remedy for wilfull idleness, but II did
not attempt to solve the unemployment
problem. 1t has held out remedy for
personal greed, but It often seemed In
different to those social abuses which
led to extremes of wealth and poverty.
1t has taught kindness TO servants, but
II has not thrown itself in any organized
way into the modern workingman's
struggle for q living wage. 1t has
theoretically taught the universal
Fstherhood Of God, but not until the
present time did It enlist body and soul
in war for world democracy,
Bold Labor Program Adopted.
six years ago the Methodist Epis-
copal Church of America adopted
definite labor program. 1t boldly as
serted the right of the workers to en-
ployment, and their right not only to a
living wage, but to the highest wage
that industry can afford to pay. lt
sympathized with the aims and nsplrs-
tons of the modern labor union, but IL
went further in its labor program than
the unions could go. 1t demanded JUS
tice and something more. It demanded
that the problems of employer and Gun
ployed be worked out under the in
spiration of Christian fellowship, and
that industry be organized, not to sat
isfy the individual thirst for wealth, but
TO extend to every one the highest OPP
portnnity for joyful service.
The Methodist Episcopal Church"
he said, is the only church which now
has missions in every country on earth.
We arc not afraid of any situation we
can possibly find in any foreign field
Our missionary society is not afraid of
wars, famine or plague. We are not
afraid of hostility or repression. The
only thing we have to fear-the only
thing that can now stand in the way of
completely successful cnmpaign--is
indifference on the part of the church
at home.

brought to Christ in our time, genuine
world democracy and human brother
hood may be achieved, and the era OF
war and industrial strife give place ia

churches of America consccrste them
selves to this achievement"
World Needs Surveyed
The first main objective of tho cen
tenary drive 10 to equip every Methodist
mission, at home and abroad, for 100
per cent efficiency. Forty million
dollars has been appropriated for each
branch of the work, and tbs exhaustive
survey tells in detail just where and
how the money is to be spent.
The Christian religion is the only
religion which answers the need OF the
day. 1t is peculiarly the religion OF
the present, for II is the religion OF
dynamic democracy. II is the only re-
ligion which can satisfy in these days Of
social upheaval. Jesus spoke to the
common people and the common people
heard Him gladly. He was bitter in
His dcnuuciation OF caste and privilege.
He proclaimed world for those who
serve their fellow men, but a world 10

love and fellowship instead of through

Big Prayer Drive Planned.
To start the drive the Mcthodists
have organized Fellowship of Inter
cession TO release the. prayer power Of
the church" Tens dY thousands have
enrolled in this fellowship, each pledged
to devote a certain period each day to
prayer.
Next, there is n stewardship drive"
One million American McthodistS nro
wanted to join in this For five years

Emphasis Placed on Service.
The Methodists have not forsakea
their Methodist creed. In this move
ment there is no attempt to slight the
fundamental doctrine Of the Atcncment
nor that of justification BY faith. But
undue emphasis will not be placed upon
doctrine. The emphasis will rather be
upon Christian service and upon re-
ligion Of the heart. II should be ex-
planned that there is no competition to-
day In foreign missionary work. Where
one denomination Is adequately cover
ing the field, the field is left 10 that de-
nomination, and all the other churches
recognize its institutions as the express
sion OF Christianity.
The old system of church extension
In the rural communities will largely be
abandoned. Instead Of building little
meeting houses, to be opened once q
week when weather permits and 5000
a year pastor can be supplied, an effort
will be made to build large institutional
churches In the charge of competent and
well sslsricd executives, not merely as
places in which TO sing hymns and pray.
but as, 4 general headquarters of COM
munity service. These churches will be
open continuously; will contain libraries
and agricultural exhibitions, moving
pictures, a first aid hospital and every
possible aid to the social and educa-
tional life Of the ad AGENT territory.
Anything, in city or country, which per
forms social service will be considered
a legitimate part OF Methodist mission

This year" DIR. Taylor remarked,
the churches OF America abolished the
saloon. We are jubilant over the vic
tory; but IL we do not do something
more than jubilate, our victory will be
hollow one This victory has brought
us face to face with new responsibilities
and the churches of America must not
be slackers. We must fill the place Of
the saloon in the Nations social life.
The churches must be kept open seven
days a week. They must attract and
inspire and render useful service More
and more, at home and abroad, the
great masses Of Gods children must be
shown that il is the function of the
Christian Church to serve their needs,
not simply to issue holy pronounce
ments. II We do not anseer these
hwuHn ncedsoat home, the millions who
have been deprived Of drink may be ex-
pccted 10 turn to other forms Of vice
and II we do not rise to our present OPP

not claim the promise of peace on earth

LAyman Suggests Idea
The movement in its inception was
not ecclesiastical. 1t was democratic.
DR.. S. Earl Taylor Is 4 Methodist lay
man. That name won't be repeated
often II DR.. Taylor can help It. He is
not q self-advertiser. Personal honors
do not interest him, any more than have
the urgent appeals from several com
mercial institutions TO leave his mission
ary work and devote his talents, at
many times his present income, to their
business interests. Actual achievement
in tho service of his Master Is his one
measure of success. His official position
Is executive secretary Of the Joint en-
tcnsry Committee.
Although Q graduate of divinity
school he refused ordination. He
wanted to become lay missionary, but
because of illness in his family, he could
not 60 abroad.
Il have always believed in missions"
he has said. 81 have always believed in
the great mission of the Christian
Church. That mission Is TO bring the
whole world to knowledge of Jesus,
and II that mission were too great for
the church to perform, the Master
would never have intrusted the Church
with its performance.
so far, the church has not carried
out its mission. But today we have
more reason than ever TO have faith In
the church. The church is awakening
IL takes no prophet to eSee that. II is
beginning to realize its mission, and
millions right here in America are now
consecrnting themselves not merely to
lead better life according to the old
and inadequate Interpretation of con-
secrntion but 20 give to the cause OF
world redemption and world democracy
their full share of organized service.
Same Old Gospel Preached.
We are not preaching new gospel.
We are offering no amendments to the
teachings Of Christ His plan of saliva
ton was complete. The difference be
tween the awakening church of today
and the eminently respectable and emf
nently futile church of the past is in our
fuller realization of the meaning OF our
Masters message.
Yesterday, it was customary to think
of the church as harbor Of refuge. 1t
Is q harbof; but a harbor has vastly
greater uses than 10 furnish refuge
from the storm. 1t is a port of en-
barkation in the Masters service. 1t is
place to take on food and fuel and to
get our engines ovcrhauled. It's main
object is not to shelter US from the

ed by the Methodist Episcopal Church

South. DR.. S. Earl Taylor, originator
and present leader--A lsyman, by the
way--of the movement, has explained II
all this way:
The world csnnot be reconstructed
by q formula. No nscre agreement
among diplomats can heal the wounds
of war. No international constitution,
however perfect in its phrashg, and no
mere economic revolution, however
sweeping in its scope, can bring about
the universal reign of peace and good
will among men. Such a peace IL the
fundamental aspiration of every human
heart, but it cannot be realised through
force, it cannot he realized through gov
eminent and it cannot be realised
through law alone. World democracy
can and will be realized only through
applied Christianity and nothing but
faithlessness on the part k the Chris
tian church need delay iS realisation
