BEAR ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS,

The more complex civilization be-

one anothers burdens. and the
OF each as typificd in n league to

discourse by Rev. ". Russell Bowie,
d. D.. rector Of st. Paul's Episco-

taken from st. Paul's words, Bear ye

Each must bear his own burdens"
AS paradoxical as these two state

bearing ones own burdens. he not

DR.. Bowie said nothing about CO.

many individuals and organizations
have been preaching as a means to
success and achievement, he meant II.
In hearing one another's burdens
and in bearing ones own burdens.

Through this admonition Of st. Pauls.
said DR.. Bowie. all nations may lie
able to stand, for no nation is strong
enough to bear Its own burdens and
achieve everlasting glory. There
need be no isola ton OF nations, IL all
nations bear their own burdens and
the burdens OF others az well. In
other words, the cooperative spirit
must be brought to bear upon all
alike.

NO less n distinguished man than
Ex-senator Reveridge said in an ad-
dress which he delivered In a Meth
ohist church In indianapolis: Let
the churches preach Jesus Christ and
Him crucihed and they Will have no
trouble In Hlling their churches. But,
no; instead. they lecture on hygiene
and on every other movement that
comes before the public. and try to
regulate the affairs of the nation
instead of preaching the gospel Of
Jesus Christ
scrupturaIly Correct.
That assertion is true and scrip
turaliy correct And am one
preacher old-fashioned enough to be-
lievc that II the gospel of Christ
brings no results. nothing else will
l believe that when the pastor holds
up before sinful man the cross Of
Christ ms the only hope OF saliva
ton. and really familiarizes his pco-
he is about that business his
Heavenly Father wishes him to be.
Fill the heart with the teachings Of
Jesus Christ and the man will be
fitted to be the best kind OF citi-
zen, the safest kind OF a politician
and the finest kind OF statesman.
Not Cburch's nusInesr.
The question Is not whether these
other activities are noble or iEnoble
in themselves. but whether those pur-
suits be the business OF the church.
And they surely are not. II is the
church's duty TO save immortal souls
by preaching the gospel. II that doesn't
save them, nothing else Will. Any
church activity which goes contrary
to this charge is deplorable activity.
II the church prostitute herself by
entering the neld Of politics. she Is
not about the Fathers business. even
though her intentions be the very
hest.
'At no time and by no means does
the church prove more powerful
agent for the Improvement of mans
temporal conditions. and for the pres
ervation OF peace and order in state
and society than when. mindful OF
Christs command. she breaches the
gospel OF salvation.
God give the church men who,
like Luther. arc ever bent on fol-
lowing khe Savior's example and be-
ing about the Fathers business"
