to life, when he shakes off the mean
ness and littlenesS which beset him
and energies free man in Gods free
world. A slave cannot be saved. He
Is damned by his own chains, whether
those chains be forged in bigotry and
intolerance or in bestiality and base
ness.
That man Is saved who has learned
to understandable range and loneliness
of life, and who never, by thought or
deed, cheapens that loneliness. That
man is saved who does good work
and renders just service and plays
his part in life. That man is damned
who Is satisfied with anything less
than a full sharing in the best that
he knows.
Is church membership essential to
salvation?
No.
Does church membership contribute
to salvation? That is another ques-
ton. 1t all depends upon the kind OF
church, and the kind of member.
There are free churches, and there
are slave churches. The distinction
has nothing whatever to do with
denomination or creed.
There are churches, cathedrals. syna~
eogues in which ministers, priests,
rabbis teach truth which glows. They
illumine human experience, they en-
large the borders of understanding
and insight. They make men tolerant
sympathetic, sensitive. They take
from the wealth of the past and pour
it into the souls of the men who make
the future.
Such churches gather together men
and women who would learn how to
live, and who learn together. Such
churches contribute to salvation. To
be a. member of such church is to
share in the fullness Of the experience
of others, and the accumulated expert
ence of centuries.
Should one belong to the church,
BY all means. If you can ma a
church which is free, church Whlcn
feeds the soul, enlarges the heart,
furnishes meaning to life. These
things we must have If we are to be
saved

Stacker service and poor work. Hence,
our three square meals a day.
An undernourished soul means grow
cling ideals, ignoble purposes, morbid
thoughts, self1shness, instead Of serv-
ice, clouded brow, an easy target for
1.-The fiery darts Of the wicked one,"
and he'll at last!
2. Because the church is organized
good battling against organized evil.
Evil is organized, militant and mighty.
BY the adamantine bonds of sordid
self-interest, by community Of thought
and evil design, and by natural iniqui-
tous consanguinity all forms of evil
inevitably gravitate together. Smite
one form of evil and every other form
in the catalogue of hell will rise up
to smite you.
Now, meeting these serried ranks
of sin and shame. the church stands
as organized good-the battalions of
righteousness fair as the moon, clear
as the sun and terrible as an army
with banners" And Jesus said Of it:
my church, and the gates Of hell
shall not prevail against it!''
3. Because the church is the great
almoner of Gods mercy and goodnesy
to the children of men. The church
has been the guardian of truth, the
dispenser of charity, the healer of the
sinful, the comforter of the sorrow
| ing and the redeemer of those who
fall. We should love her truly and
we should serve her well, because her
kindly nand down all the Christian
centuries has been upon the fevered
brow of humanity and her bounty is
still feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked, strengthening the weak and
| saving the lost.
4. Because God, our Heavenly Fa-
Their, commands us "Forsake not the
assembling of yourselves together"
| The inspirations of the sanctuary and
| the comforts of religion are all en-
HANGED to the individual through the
assembly Of the saints" To sing to-
gether the songs of Zion, to mediate
in Gods law and to send up our
prayers with the prayers Of our fell
lows to the throne of Life and Love
and Mercy is the highest privilege
known this side of Heaven. BY all
the tears which she has wiped from
the cheeks Of sorrow, by all the deeds
of charity which. she has done, by all
the high souls among the children of
men that she has nurtured in holiness
and power. by all the fallen that she
has raised up and all the disconsolate
that she has encouraged with a new
hope, the men and women Of today
ought to rally to and support the
| church Of the living God!

Sunday School Lesson

into idolatry. Later he gave them
the Ten Commandments that outline
our duties to God and our fellows.
While simple, they embrace every pos
sible human relationship. Jesus
showed by his teachings their proper
meaning. just as He deduoed them all
to one, Thou shalt love-"
Having organized them and given
them the law, Moses proceeded to
develop their spiritual life. They
needed a place for worshiping God,
so he erected his Tent of Meeting that
helped develop their desire to worship
God in accordance with the pattern
given him upon the Mount. All men
are religious, but they can never en-
joy their religion apart from the fell
lowship of others. The generous gifts
Of the people made possible the cree
ton Of the Tabernacle and the estab-
lishment Of a system of worship that
developed the religious life of the
nation and unified them as a people.
Last weeks lesson had to do with
the proper observance of Gods laws.

made to modern conditions, demand

being the temperance lesson.
The Quarters Message.
The quarters message has been TO
cused about the life Of Moses. 1t has
been summed up in our golden text
calling for us to run with patience
the race that Is set before us, look
ing unto Jesus, the author and finish.
err Of our faith" Israel in all her
history has looked ahead. The He
brews have had faith. They have
given to the world it's three greatest
religious systems. The ritual, sacri'
fees and services Of the Tabernacle
and the Temple were all prophetic OF
the coming Of the Messiah. The
Christian sees their fulf1llment in the
life of Jesus. We are summoned by
the success Of Moses and his rise
from being a failure to one Of the
worlds greatest men, to run with
patience the Christian race. The
great liberator. lawgiver and leader OF
the Israelites became so by obeying
Gods call to service. No man will
ever attain success, much less great.
ness, unless he lives a life Of obedi'
ence.
Let us put religion first. God has
revealed His will to us. We have
our duty to Him and to others to full
fill, that calls for us to lay aside every
weight, that we have inherited from
our ancestors, and the sin. which we
have committed, to run with patience
the race Of life in self-denial, sacr1
fetal service, looking unto. Christ fol
leadership and assistance. The gen
erous sympathies of Moses and his
quickness to redress wrongs by his
courageous stand should encourage
us to live a life characterized by the
same spirit lie met the intolerance
of the people and the jealousy Of his
brother and sister by spirit Of self
remuneration that has met the world
approval. If we walk in his spirit
we will be seeking first the Kingdom
Of God and His righteousness in al
things and at all hours.
