Cults and Preachers.

1t would startle many Christian
to take pencil and check up the
religious advertisements in the Sat-
urday issue of a metropolitan paper.
I have known instances wherein the
advertisements of the various "cults"
,outnumbered those of the Christian
churches.
The existence of these Is an in
dictment of the Christian pulpit as
a whole. They signify that SOUL
hungry folk have not found salts
faction for their spiritual needs in
the regular ministry, and so have
turned to yogis and swamis and
weird esoteric cults.
Equally an indictment of the
Christian church is the prevalence
of crime and corruption and debased
moral standards in our time. If the
prophets of God, as jeremiah
pointed out, had been equal to their
opportunity and to their duty, sin
would not have gone unrebuked and
righteousness would have been
fortified by faith in the living God
Summed up, all of the. foregoing
means that the true prophets of God
must rise to the occasion. There is a
deep undersurge of vague religious
sentiment in the world today. But
1t needs the counsel and leadership
of the ministry to become articulate
and practical. This is a day OF days
for the widespread teaching and
preaching the gospel Of Christ, as
applied to modern life. What a call
1t constitutes for young Christians
to enter upon career OF Sunday
school teaching!
And for the preacher 1t is day OF
destiny. His power Is greater than
that of the politician, for he deals
