Reality of the Supernatural

We hear people in these days deny
ing the supernatural. II is little as
if the planets should proclaim that
there is no such thing as space or as
if the rivers should declare that there
is no such thing as matter. We cannot
/ lay our hands on life anywhere with
out feeling the thrill of that some
thing more which underlies all law
and eludes all physical analysis

needed. We are living in day when
the demands upon true Christian
workers are greater than ever before.
Popular education has raised the
scale of ordinary intelligence far
above that Of other days. In every
sphere of life the highly Christian
man or woman is in demand. The
Christian minister or missionary
must need be not merely leader but
a leader of leaders. To a profound
Christian experience should be ad-
ded the fullest possible intellectual
preparation. We. are dealing with a
phase of christian work Of the utmost
moment, and constant guidance from
above must be sought.
Church Needs Love
The most pressing of all needs of
the present day Church Is love.
How the storm clouds would vanish,
like mist of the night at the rising
of the sun, If men could only learn
to love one another, taught by the ex-
ample of those who name Christs
name as His profound follower.

THE PRESENT DAY ADVANTAGES
OF THE CHURCH

1t Is often thought, when one looks
around and considers the condition of
the world-the recklessness of living,
the lawlessness on every side-that
the church has become a less impor-
tant and influential factor in life
than formerly.
OF course such, is not the case, but
in order to appreciate fully the
church of today and its advantages,
one must trace the development OF
the church from an earlier period.
The ancient church, we recall, was
not building or r,even a group as we
thing Of 1t to-day. We have read
how the prophets, Amos, Jeremiah
and Moses of old, led their respec-
tive groups, preaching to them of the
heavenly kingdom, Of the coming of
the Messiah.
Also how the Christ and his dis
ciples went from place to place,
preaching to their followers and to
those whom they met who were filled
with curiosity or the desire for
knowledge.
Then the churches Of the Middle
Ages, when Catholicism fourished.
The Church was then the most i'm
portant institution, being the seat
Of the government and the place to
which supplicants came from distant
countries to seek its repose and
peace.
Here we find more basis for our
present day church. To it our min
listers invite those who, are weary,
heavy laden and oppressed. Thus 1t
would seem that within the church
was this peace and comfort, but
Ruskin tells us that "the Church is
a body to be taught and fed, not to
teach and feed" So we see that only
as we comprise the church may we be
usful. 1t is here we come after wan

THE PRESENT DAY NEEDS OF
THE CHURCH

THE CHURCH
We are living in what might well
be termed the golden age of civiliza-
ton. In these propitious times
many problems and questions of in
terest daily confront us and one
among the chief problems of inter-
est is THE PRESENT DAY NEEDS
OF THE CHURCH.
The first and the greatest need is
true religion, personal morality, re-
spect for the Church, and honest de-
sire to help all others; love others
and all else will follow. Thus re-
ligion and law are both needed. The
Church stirs conscience and creates
condition. The state defines justice
and maintains the sanctity of law.
Another great need is true Chris
tians. Those who love God and man,
obey the laws and respect the rights
of others. The Church should have
cooperation and unity. without CO.
operation there is no success; with
out unity there Is no 8 t + g h..
United we stand divided we fall. The
Church needs men and women who
will work tenaciously for the cause
of Christ and who are steadfast and
unmovable. letting their light shine
and not hiding it under bushel.
More Simplicity
The Church should have more sim
plicity aid sacredness, and not so
much formality; more followers and
less leaders; more doers and less
fault-finders and grave diggers; more
intelligence, and less ignorance.
The Church should have a stand
ard. When we know what we are
doing, we should next inquire how 1t
compares with what we should be do
ing IL we did our share. A program
for the Church is another great need.
This program may not be as elabor-
ate in one Church as in another, but
surely much of the inefficiency of our
Church life has been due to the fact
that we have not been moving con-
sciously towards some we'll defined
purpose or accomplishing some new
and splendid objective.
The Church program should in
clude the recruiting of life among the
young people, training through edu-
cation. The great point of emphasis
here is that the Church should have
a definite program with great OBJ
jectives. The Church is in need of
men and women with a vivid Chris
tian experience and vigorous Chris
tian message is paramount.
There is vital need OF men who
have the power Of bringing others
face to face with the real issues of
life; men and women who won't roll
In any direction; as one writer has
well said: Her ideas were like
marbles on a perfectly planed floor,
they roll equally well in any direc-
tion in which you placed them. The
Church is also in need Of Christian
leadership. There is a demand for
men who will give themselves with
the same determination and useful
ness and unselfishness to the task.
Help Young People
1t Is not enough however to lead
our young people to decision for
Christian service; they must be given
direction and help in preparing for
the service, and here the utmost dis
cretion, and the broadest visions are

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. 4, 1925.
Dear Editor:
am Bulletin-Appealb booster and
probably always will be. I want to
see the paper grow and prosper, and
am always anxious to know just how
I can help. I try to trade with your
advertisers at all times. l have spent
carfare quite few times to go across
the town to buy from merchants who
advertise in the paper of my race,
and I think it is no more than right
that all of us should realize the
necessity of having local paper and
of trading with those merchants who
show their appreciation of their col
ored business by advertising with our
publications. I notice that many of
the business places thickly populated
by our group never advertise In our
papers. For long time I have had
occasion to use taxi-cabs, but it al
ways bothered me to see so much ad-
vertising in the other papers and
none in our own papers, when I knew
that people of our group patronized
the various cab companies heavily.
Two weeks ago I opened my Bulletin
Appeal and saw that one company
had at last seen the light. From now
on that company gets my business.
That's the kind of Bulletin booster /
am.
Sincerely yours,
HARLAN s. ANDREWS.
