tensify the effect. 1t is an hour when
many persons will be at leisure. To all
such hearty invitation is extended.
Every human organization has its own
good purpose, at least presumptively. The
purpos of the church is to teach men. by
every means within its power, the exceed
ing value OF living and constructive faith
in living and present God, of the daring
and indomitable hope of mans conquest
of himself and all that is evil around him,
through effective cooperation between
him and his God, and of love that is
great enough to include even his enemies.
This is the primary. function of the Chris
tian Church. Its secondary purpose or
function, inseparable in spirit from the
former, is that of persuading men to make
practical application of these great virtues
in all human affairs and relations. A
church convenant properly declares this
two-fold purpose, and they who are agreed
concerning it naturally accept the cove
nant as expressing their position. 1t ought
to be as simple and natural for men and
women of this mind to unite with the
church of their choice, as for them to ex-
press their agreement touching any other
form of united action for public service.
Membership In the church has been made
unnecessarily difficult, with the result
that men have been too often repelled,
and all the parties have suffered, church
and society alike. When man is drown
ing men have no difficulty in getting to-
gether aud agreeing upon means to save
him. The church exists to save people
from dangers far greater than that OF
death. Its convenant simply declares
that fact and announces the resultant
course of action.
