to their parents and families and
teachers and churches, who can say?
I heard one of the district attorneys
OF a great city say, in private con-
versation recently, that nine-.enths
Of the fallen women whose cases he
had investigated blamed their de-
parture from virtue upon an unhappy
home life. One shudders before the
outreachings and parallels Of this an
cient fathers indictment Of the
disciples who failed to do the work
that belonged to their Office.
Modern organizations of Christian.
ity have worldly wisdom, they buy
the most costly apparatus, they erect
great buildings. there is no stint to
the money that is given for the
cause of religion. The church never
had so many businesslike, wordly-wi
and clever ministers as today.
Still there is lack Of power. The
church is not healing lives as it
should. The foul are not being made
clean, the crooked are not being made
straight, the sad are not set to re-
joicing, the hungry of heart are no,
drawn to the services of the church
What is the matter? Who can make
sure reply?
The answer is the same as it was
in the case of the disciples who failed.
"All things are possible to him that
believeth." The lack of the church
is the lack Of spiritual power, which
is in essence lack of simple faith.
Whatever may have been wrong
with the disciples, there was nothing
the matter with the Master Himself
The church may fail in much Of her
work, but the fault is not with her
Lord. When the father took his son
to Jesus, great deliverance was
wrought, to the wonder of all behold
ers The tender Christ, who seemed to
seek the most intimate contact with
those whom He would serve. took the
lad by the hand and raised him up,
sound in body and clear in mind.
When the wondering disciples asked
why they could not do the same, the
answer came, This kind can come out
of nothing save by prayer" The les
son was one Of trust.
The entire story of the lesson is a
teaching upon faith. 1t was a re-
minder to His disciples that their power
was utterly dependent upon their faith.
Where men trust greatly. they tri-
umph greatly. There is evidence which
no man can question that the drug
habit and the liquor habit and evil
temper and all the other low passions,
may be subjected by the Christ, whose
power is commanded by faith.
To revitalize and make efficient our
church. we need, not more money not
more sophistication: but more the faith
which Jesus sought sedulously to
teach his disciples. When Christians
go to their knees in supplication they
will be able to sing the song of jubila-
ton. Union with Christ is the one
supreme secret of Christian conquest.
This is the victory that overcomes the
world, even our faith
