There once was a man, many years ago; n prophet of God, though disobedient and (ieglrous at lieiling his gift (or 1ll01lf'Y, who shewed us whal Gorl "av., "{rom the tal)", You remembC'I' Balaam, I am sure.

Balak, 1{lng at )Ioab, was very much alarmed by !!Iomc people who callie OUl of Egypt, and were co\'ering the fnco of the earth getting a IItUe too near tilt> bordt>r of his kingdom to makf' him feci just renl comfortable, lie I)robably spC'ut a few slet'Jlle~s night!'. , until he thought of t[w prophet Balaam, and de<'lded to have him come o\'er and curse lhes(' rolk~

who wpre step ping on his toes, So be sent ror Balaam, who went liHel' mlTch pCTlmafllOTl and diS:-iuaslon, for even thB (Iumb ass was made to ~penk and rt>pro\o'e him as iH' we'nl on his way, But J phovah warned him, "Only the word which I Slll'ak unto thee, that shalt thou do,"

A,; he anh'ed, Balak thought to hlmseJr, "Hartl's whe'rf' my troubles e nd, Thl~ prophet will curse th('flP. hotlH'rflOme Iflra('lIte~, and all my worry will be over," "Come Balaam,

11'1;\ go to thp 111gb pli\c(,~ or Bnal. whrit' you can H'P tho uttermo>;t part of the~e pllOl)le." Hert', IItt'I)ll\ng Into till' old flying: machlnt' (hat waft madE' b(>fore tht' worlds were torm"11, 11(> ~lided through th(' air ('Tlclrcllng tbe ('amll uf the iflraelllea, and saw lhe ciTo!'PIl people fl'Olll God'41 vle\\ point, What dU~'M he say?

"Balnk, frpm the tOJ) or tht~ Tack!; I Mce him, nnd from the hills 1 bchoJcl him, La, who cnn counl the dw'll ot Jacob, or who (,llIl unmhcr the fourth IIart of j,.r.lf>l? IAJt me die the death of the rlghlE'OnS, and Ie-t my Jaflt end he likE' hill."

"Look here, Balaam." !lays J3alak, "I told )"ou to come UI) and curse these people' What do you mean hy this klnll at talk?"

""'hr, how can I cur:-le whom Goel hath not cursed, !lud defy whom God bath nOt <leilNI?"

"r\'ow look here, ilalaam, th('rp'!i a gond sum waiting fUr you, It you'll do what I've n"k(>{1 YIlU, YOli go up a Ilttlu higher, up to the top of Pisgah, there's a goofl landing ftl'ld liP there, the field of ZOI,hlm "

So Dalualll gh·es t1w IJropcllcr a turn and orr he goes, higher and hlghf'r lIntli he COIl1f'S to P[~gah,

"Oh Balak:' he crlell, " I see nOthing hul bleRsing, for J e hovah Mys htl hath not ~e('n Iniquity In Ja('ob nor pen('rl'lt\' ness In Israel. Jehovah his God Is with him and tilt> shout of a King Is among tbem. Now shall it bo riuld ot J(lcob and Israel whal bath God wrought~"

Tbls Is most t&o lUuch for BaJak and he say,,> angrily, "Old Balaam you needn't bother blessing or cursing lhl"im, But cun't you tell a. good otrer wheu you !iee It?

hnve we heard that! 1t Is Indeed true Elijah prayed, nnd God withheld the rain. There wae a great drouth. It lnsted for thre(> years and six months lie prRy(!d again. and the rain came. It wos through prayer that lhe rain Wllfi

withheld, and it was In answer to praycr tha t the clouds gatberelJ and the rain fell.

The children of J!.;.rael cried unto God and God hea rd t heir cry. He rail:,cd l1P dellverpr nrter d('Jlverer. i'.:very deliv­erer thn.l God raised up was raised up in answer to praye r.

David sin ne t! . He prayed. and God rorgave him. So lomon needed wisdom He prayed, and God gav(, It to him, Hezeklah was sick. He prayed, and God healed 111m.

Skeptics have said that God does not henr nnd answer llrayer. They have rldl~\lled tl)(' Idpa. Th('y have told us that God has e!;tabll<thed c('rtn.ln laws, the ]:LWfl of nalure, and that God does not set R!dtieo His own laws, hut that He works in hnrmony with them. It mIght lle snid In reply that It is Indeed true that God workR in harmony wllll H is own laws, but that one of His Immutn­bl(' laws which He has eslabl1shed and through which H e has work"d and sUll WOl'kh Is thnt lis Immutably answers pra)"Pr.

The qU(lslion neeoc} not be a rgu ed. We havc so llIa ll Y ~vldence8 that it l)a)"~ to pray, that God hearkens un to the cries of His neople, and that there can be no progl"('ss in the things of Ood without prayer, no gracious outpouring at the Spirit wllhoull)raycr, no wonderful man­iff's tatlons of the divine presence and pow('r unless people proy , that It seems to us t ha t when the calJ goes forth at a time of real need every C11ild of God should bCfltlr Illmself or h orsoH and get under the burden and begin to pray, nnd that the praying should continue until the heavens gl\'e rain and the shout of victory Is heard in Israel's camp.

Revivals have eve r come in answer to prayer. It Is quite safe to say that tbere has never been a gracious re­vival anywhere, a real revlva.l, where lleople have reCused or neglected to pray. John I{nox prayed and Queen Mary trembled. She feared the prayers at this man of God morG than she feared the armies of her foes. John Wesley pra.yed and a gracious wave at revivnl swept over England and its benign in­ft.uences extended to America and the ends of the eartb, and altbo ugh Wesley is dead, like the Apostle Paul, and, lIke Abel who "offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that be was rlght· eoU8, Ood testifying of his gitUi .. , he, being dead, yet speaketh."

Charles G. Finney tells us of a poor consumptive who was not able to do

anything but pray. He prayed, and re­"I\':li8 sprang up. God poured out His Spirit In various places. The revivals Beemed to spring up spontaneously. No­hody seemed to be able to account ror them. Atter the consumptive's death his diary was round and read. and the dlseov('ry was madG that he bad been a man of prayer, that he had given hi m­!;olf up to prayer, and that tbe revivals had come in answer to the heart telt C'riC's of his inmost soul, and that they had come In the order in which he bad prayed.

What a man of prayer was David Brainard! Few have eve; prayed as he prayed. The worl d wlll neve r know how much It owes to the prayers of this man who, like Epaplnas, labored fervently In prayers. Col. 4 :12. How interested he was in the poor In dians! Not able to speak their lang uage, he spent wbole days In the depths of the forest, wres~

tHng with Ood tor their salvation. He usc d to pray, to use his own words "till my whole body was wet with sweat , though I "'as In tbe shade and the wind was ·cool". We are told that on a cer­tai n occrtslon he preached th rough an Inte rpreter who was so intoxicated that he co uld scarcely stand . God honored the Word as it went fo rth, and scores wer(' converted to God. The mos t of us would have tbought that It would be uso less to preach under stich clrcum­stauces. but not ~o Brainard. He had prayed, and be was believing God. Thero wa!; no , ther Interpreter to be bad. and !;() this man of God with the burden of so uls upon bim, deli vered Ili s message-­God's message-expecting results, and God did not s uffer him to he dlsap-1l0intGd. William Carey read hi s life an(1 It led him to go to India as a. mis­s ionary of tpe cross. Payson read It when he was a young man of twenty years, and he said In later life that nothing hf' ha (1 f'ver read had "0 pro­foundly Impressed him. Rohert Murray McCbeyne read It, and his life was great­ly Influenced thereby. Jonathan Ed­wards who watched over him during his last days and in whose house he (~Ied afterwards said, "I praiso God that It was His providence that be should die in my house, that I might hear bis prayers, and that I might witness bls consecration, and that I might be in­spired by his great example." It Is said that when Johna than Edwards sent out that lrumpet ca ll to Christendom to pray for the conversion of the world , that trumpet call which has been re­garded as the trumpet call of modern missions, be was yery largely inspired by the vision and the prayers of th is dy­Ing mall .

Protessor Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was once asked if tbere had not been Urnes while he was engaged in the great work which resulted 80 suc-

cess[ully, when he knew not what to do next, and he answered, "Yes, more than once I came to the place where J knew not which way to turn or what to do". "And what did you do when you came to a place like that?" The great in~ ventoI' replied Eolemnly, "I may an$wer you In confidence. but it Is something of which the world knows notbing. Whenever I could not see my war clearly J prayed for more light , and it always came."

God has promised to supply all our need accol'(ling to H is riches In glory by Christ Jesus. But there Is a method. a plan, hy wbich and in accordance w ltll. the workings of which our need Is sup­Jllied. He has designed and ordained that our need shall be met through prayer. And so It our need is not s up­plied It is because we fail to pray. "We have not because we ask not.·,

Christians who gl'()w In the graces of the Christian life, disciples who learn of their Lord and Master. workers who have the power to prosecute St:CC6S<j­

fully the work to which God has c:\lied them, are men and womE'n of prayer.

There has heen need ot praye:' e\'e r si nce God create(1 man and placed him here in this world. J esus was a man; He was the God-man. Tt was nC(:£1ssary for Him to pray. He could not get along without prayer. He had made the worlds. "All things were marIe by fIlm, and without Him was not anything made that was made." Surely it anybody through all the ages cou ld have got along wIthout prayer that man was Jesus Bnt every reader of the Gospels knows that the lite of the Son of Man who wns hi so the Son of God was a life of pra}-er. He spent whole nights in commu nion with His Father. Betore He chose His dis­ciples H e spent the nigh t upon H is kn ees before God. He agonized in prayer In the Garden of Gethsf'mane. " He offered up prayers with strong cry­ing and tears unto Him that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He teared. " SInce It was neces­sary for Jesus t o pray in order that He might fill the place He had como into the world to fill and to do the work He had come into the wor ld to do, it is necessary for us to bo men and women of prayer.

Christians prayed much in the Apos­tolic age. This Is evident trom wha.t i~ written in the Acts at the Apostles, tuat wonderful accoun t which we have in th e New Testament of the work which J asus continued to do through H is own chosen workers after His ascension into h eaven. And every reader of the hi story of the Christian Church knows that th 8; mpn ' and women who ho.'Ve accolUplished real things for God since the days of t1!e Apos tles have been men and women who kn'ew how to pray and who spent much time with God In prevailing prayer. There was perhaps never greater need of pra.yer than at the present time. The need is Indeed great. We a.re living In the last days. We are approaching the hour 01 the rapture. Jes us Is coming soon. ' Tbe evidences tha.t His coming is at ba.nd are mulUplying all the time. It will not be long until the clouds will part above <>ur heads and our divine

Lord will descend, the Bridegroom for His Bride. The storm of the Great Tribulation will burst upon the earth. That which we do we must do quickly '·The Klng ·s businE'ss requlreth haste."

God has done much for us in the!!e la~t days. lie want:- to do greatE'r things than li e has yet done. We are in need of another gracious oulpourinr, of the Ho ly Spirit. God has challenged UI; to ask of Him rain in th e time of the Latter Rain. That this Is tbe lime of the Latte r R ain we are su r e_ And ther e is "a sou nd of a goi n g In the to ps of t he m ulberr y t r ees". Another revival Is due. If we do lIot f aJ! God. if w e measure up to what H e wou ld have us meas u re u p to, I f we P RAY. and pray as He wo ul d have us pray. If we pou r out our souls In s u p plication before H im, He wl1\ hear In H eaven, H is H oly Temple. and lie will maniiest H imself on earth in a mighty way.

Oh thal we might see in tbese last days sn ch a n Outl>ouring of the blessed Spi r it as b u manlly has never witnessed "ince tbe earth began. We ha.ve been told to as k largely that ou r jor mar be full. T here Is no dange r of ou r asking too much of God.

I truM that In these comi n g days­the daYi> of the week wh ich has been set apart a!l t he week o[ praye r-our people ""ill give themselves to t h e work of in­terceflslon ns never befor e.

Surelv we all tee l the need of another refr esb l-ng. God d id not exh a ust HI!! resources III th e t ime He po u red ou t His Spiri t " when the Day o [ Pen tecost was fully com e".

Throu g h praye r It Is possible to ta p tbe r esources ot the skies . G od is a bl e to do exce eding abundantly above all tbat we ask or think according to the power tbat wor keth In us.

\\ 110 WII~L UE IS TUE HAl'TCRE ?

J, T, Boddy,

,,71th a \'Iew of securing the clearE'st J)Cf:;!;ible conception of what constitute" tho necessary fitness tor the reptun'. and the hrlclehood. we should. without being overly (In,,IOU5 about the matt('r, welcome the ful\E"st measure of light possible UPOII the subject.

It is believed by some that tbe bap' lif,m In thl' Holy Gho:<t Is the great t'~.

f,enUal; but would Ibis In Itself m('et tbe requirement? We think not; for all our e"periences, however good and desirable. would be at little ,'s[ue with· OUt the fruit of the Spirit In our lh'cs, and none but the pure In heart !;hall see God: and "be that hath this hope in him puriHeth himself, even as He ('hdst ) is pure" (1st John 3:3),

The Word also declares that over· com eN; only have part in the rapture, and a place In the bridE"hood: but who Is able to determine just wha t constitutes a real overcomer? God alone kllOws, and we cannot measure by our human standards though based supposedly upon the Word: y('t we are persuaded that God has baby overcomers among His children, as well as matured Slliritllal giants,

Some maintain that only those who have overcome death, and are alive when .Jesu~ comes, will be caught up to meet Him ill Ihe air, These assume to possess a supe rior knowledge at the necessary (juu.lificatioll for the rapture and the bridehood, and act as though the)' had been delegated by the Lord to go ont and h unt up a bride for Him, They can tell you. with much assurance, jUl\{ what class of b('lievers will be in Ihe rapture, and who will compose the brld(' company, Rill thi,>. we understand. Is th£' province of the Holy Spirit alone, And surely "the Lord knoweth them that are Hi s."

In the natural, wh en a man desires to take UlltO himself a wire he is al· 10· ... ·ec1. as a rule . to make his own tieleclJon of a bride, and we surely ou~ht to concede the Lonl the same Tight,

In lst Thess, 4:13 to 18, Paul tell1'l u~ that he would not ha\'e us ignorant COIl('crlling the rapture. and inform'; Ill'! .... <; to how it will be brought about. and who will particilHl te In \1: "The Lord, Himself, s hall dl.',"cend from hE"llven with !\ s houl . with the voice of the archangel. and with Ihf' trump of God: and the clt'llfl in ('hrl .. 1 shall risc fir<l,t; then we whl('h are alh'!' and remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall be caught liP (0);Plh!;'r with them in the clouds to meet the I.ord In the ail', and so shall "''1 e \'er bf' with the Lord. wherefore ('am· fort ooe another with thf'Re words,"

It will be noticed that lhE're are only two classes o f helie\'ers mentioned as taking part In this rapture: the d~'nd

and the Ih' in j.C, bllt there I.. nothing Fald abont E'ither <'iass being subdivided, nor a ny reference made to the bride, 3!' suC'h, The dead are deSignated a8 b&­ing In ('111'1,"1, ond the natural Inference is that the Ih'llI~ candidates for the rapture must also be in {'hl'i .. t~ What

it means 10 be In Christ Is clearly set forth III the Word el:<ewhere.

III lst ('or. 15: !?3. where reTer£'nce I~ made to this blesi'ed event, wo read: "But e,'ery man io hb own order, (rank or company), Chrl!'t Ihe flrilt fruits, afterwards they that are (1u·I ... '· ... (bolh dead and lhlllg ~a.llltj:; I at His coming."

Chrll'll is coming for Hh; own, and whether found among the living or the dead, He will recogni26 and ('Iaim them.

SOme of the dead in Christ wlll hnve died In spiritual Infancy , Hnd others more matured; lind will not MOnJe of th-ose who are alive at Hi" coming be mere, babes in Christ, yet possessing­It only In embryo-the nature of the divine lo-'ather who b(>gat them. and all the essential qualities aod charaoter· I"t\cs at lhe more mature members of His family.

:;\'ow, according to .. orne of the teach· Ing we ha\'e referred to, only thos(> who have proven themseh'es true overcomer s -spiritual grown·upS, and victors over death-will be translated when J esus returns. And, of course. acrordlng to this reckoning, IIOlle otber will be found In the bride COIllI)alll,

But just who will compose the bride no on e bu~ G-od 1Ilm~eJt knows; yf't It is safe to assume thal only those who are "gh'ing diligence to make their calling and election sure" will be found In that company. And tli Is, any child or God, no matter how young 011 thf' way, con do, Bllt that none but the bride, lr we are warranted in making !'.\lch a dlsllnction. will be in the rupture does not seem scriptural. And It may be thaI all Spirit·born ones, without ully other qual· ificatiOIl!'.. a r C' memhcrs of the bl'ide; and who CU ll say t hat th(>y ar(' not? But all such 3rt> lhe children of God and memo bers of the household of t3ith no matter what their age or attainments may be,

"'ell. Ihl' Lord is C'oming bnck foJ' lIis entire family , not jU!'lt cerlain m('mhers at It.

UNITY. By C. W. Doney,

It is Bad Indeed to !:ice s~rlfc and di­'\'islon Illllong lhp children or Cod, Be­loved, these things ought not ~o to be. Th(' Word of Cod revenle plainly that there should be no dl\'islolls among the Spirit-filled, who (,Kpect to be caugbt up wit.h the Lord at HI!; coming.

Paul ~ays, "~ow I be-eech you, breth­r(,ll, by the Xame of the Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all sppak Ill£' ~ame thing nnd that th('r(\ Iw 110 did .. ion .. among YOII; but that ye h(' Jl('I 'r('(' t1)' ,ioillcd to. ~\'Ih(,I',in the ~amc mind, alHlln the same judgment." But he addres::;cs the l'ame brethr>'1l in thp 3rd chapter calling them babes, requiring milk and not meat. ~ay­ing, "Ye are yet carnal: for there is among you envying, strir(> auc! division aI'''' ya not carnal and wa!k as men." 1 ('1)1', 1-10, 3:3.

James sar~, "But. if ye lu\'p- hitt('!' en"ying and strlfp, tn your hearls, glory not. and lie not against the truth. Thi~

wb<lom de!;cenueth not from above, but is ('arthly. ~en~ual, dedllsh For whpre (>ll\Ting :'\nd strite I~ th('r~ lli confu;;IOll and {'\'ery evil work," ('hall_ 3: 14·1 G.

Paul says again, ":\[ark them which cause divlsioHS and offenses contrary to the doctr!ne- which ye have learned and avoid them." Rom. 16:17.

Je!;us prayed that His diMciples nil mlgh! 1)(, 011(' as H e and the F ather are one, "Neither pray I for t hese alone but for them abo which shall believe on me, through their word: thnt ther all may be one: that the world may belie,·c that thou hast sent rue. That they may be lt1/ldc Ill'rrN't in on('," St. J ohn 17: 20-23,

Other scriptures might be cited, but these are suttlclent to show that the thought of God, as revealed in His Word Is that di\'ls io ll .<l nr(' IllO:tL hlll'mJul to the body of Chr!st on earth .

Not only does strife and division work <I e~tructioll In the Cburch of God. but it turn s away, in disgust ancl uller dis· couragement" many who ara anxiously enquiring the way of r ighteousness, Wbll e a u the ot her han d when love and un ity prevail the world looks on and says, "Behold. how these Christians love one another!"

J es us says, ".1\ new commandment I give unto you, that ye love o ne anotber, as r h[l.\'e loved you. Dy this shall al ! men kn ow lhat ye are m~' dlsl'ipleg, it ye have 10\'e ono to another," St. J ohn 13:3 4,35,

That th e}' obeyed this command Is llroved by Acts 1:14 , also 2:1, " These all cO ntinued with one aCCOrd in pra}'e r and su pplication ," "And when the dav of Pentecost was fu llr come. they we re all with one accord In one place. "

Again we read, " They tha t gladly re­ceived his word w ere baptized: and the same day there were added unto UlCIII about th ree thousand so ul s, and they ~ontluued steadfastly in the Apostles'

modern denial of all the fundamental facUl ot Bible revelation, and this by men ordained to the ChrlsUan ministry and still holding pulplk. In orthodox de­nominatlono;; Arter a comrortable din­ner a doctor of divinity of nn evangeli­cal denomination conveyed to me his conclusions on maLlers ot religion, He said that he rejected all authority and depended upon tbe results of hlg reason. To him the Pentateuch was of doubtful )'IOf;alc authorship, and certainly con­tained many "tolklore stories." Paul wa~ declared to ha.ve garbled tbe teach· ings ot J esus and to have foisted upon the world a doctrine of tbe church that would have been severely condemned by the ).Iaster, Regarding his own out­look for Immortality, the comtortable doctor yawned, and said tbat be war not sure concerning the future, and did not much care: that It It pleased the great Author ot all things to snuff" out his existence after ten or fifteen year~ more of world lire,he wou ld regis­ter no protel<t, for he had had n bully good time whlle here.

Such thought and utterAnce is even less than I)agan. It not only betrays the benumbing of the' soul's Hner asplra· lions, but Ignores history and gives ex, presfilon to twaddle just a!; If J esus Christ had never lived and had ne,'er died.

AI! this is in striking contrast with the spirit or modernl::.m. Salvation by character ratber than character by sal· vatlon is the moUo of modern unitar­Ianism. That man must. save himself is the creed of tbose wbo reject Christ.

Writers who scorn the Bible doctrine that Jesus Christ was born In humanity to furnish a new Adam for tbe race and Q.. way of salvation through obtainm€'nt of pardon and lite through Him are multiplying books to prove salvation by struggle and attainment and instead of life through union with Christ. they hold Ollt the pOSsibilities of reach i ng eternal peace through multiplied IncaI'· naLions and self·dlsclpllne during each l>erlod of the progressive incarnaUon Attainment for obtainment Is a damn­Ing heresy.

All systems that emphasize the human rather tha.n the divine are antl·Christian. Eddylsm OJ' Christian Science. fah.ely so­calleel, is distinctly anti-Christian in that It presents ;\rrs. Eddy as having redis­oovered a prinCiple which Jesus once knew and practiced and then presenting to the world a SY8tem of living by affirm­Ing truth and denying error without special reference to the' risen Chri~t

The fact is. anyone who proposes to practice the prinCipleI'! of Christian Science can, after lenrning them, get along nicely without. either J esus or Mrs Eddy. It is a creed without n Christ. a plan Without a person. 11 system at ~al­vation without a Saviour. I t Is in line with other ~)'stems which substitute at­tainment for obtAinment. 1'0111 k:1I r-hilOM ) llh~· \ ...... Blhl(' PrOI)h{"('y.

.A thinl mark of a Chrlstless Christian­ity is the substitution of political philos­Ollhy for Bible prophecy, The Bible is the stor.v of wor ld redemption. Its his­t-cry and its prophecy taken together cover tbe whole course of time. The coming' ages are programmed in prOPh­ecy and If we arc as careful to study 1he meaning of prophecy as we are in studyIng history, we can know approxi­mately what is to come to pass In the world as surely as through history we know what has come to pass.

Bellevers are ul'ged not to be dis· tu.rbed by wars and rumors of wars seeing that these things belong to the world program and must come to pass. Moreover, the riSing of tbe nations against pach other. together with the de\'3"tations of ramine. pestilence and earthquakes, arc to be \'iewed as the birth pain!> of a Ilew age which ahall continue umiJ this new age is born by tbe presellce of Christ In the world judg­ment.

A foul'th all(l mo"t Mlgnlflcant mark of a Christies!> Christianity is the sub· filit\ltlon of human ndvancement tor Christ's &dvent, or the setting of human hope on the advancement of the sons of men rather than on the advent of tbe Son or ;\Ian.

Nothing is more plainly laught in God's Word than the glorious advent

THE PE:'IiTE(,OSTAl" E\·A~'OEL

of the world's SaviOur Is to constitute the belle\'er's bope. Old Testamf:nt pa,:sages such as l!;alah 2:2-4; 11:1-16; )llcah 4: 1-7; 5: 4-9; together with Zech­ariah 14 1·21 make it evident that notb­ing but the glorlou!I manir(,!ltatlon of Israel's :"!\essiah will bring world peaoCe In the ~ew testament, Acts 1.11; Titus 2 11·14; Revelation I' 7 and ~eore~ of other passages reveal that Christ's re­turn Is to be the bel1eYer's hope. Yet in ihe face of all this. tbe profe.;.sed eI­pounders of the Blhle are continually pointing to human l)rogress as lhe goal of blCSSNlne!l!l.

A noted preacher crystallzed his the­ology of hope In the word. "The advance­ment of the sons at men Is the advent of the Son of ).Ian ." ~o sane exegis can admit such an interpretation of the glorious promise;:: concerning Ihe ad"ent of aliI' Lord. It Is the marvel ot our age that the world does nOt !lee that its progre::s in Invention and manufacture has but added to the horror of Its con­flicts and that some power higher than that of man Is needed to moderate hu· Illall ambition and curb human lust.

By-I' I'O(hll'ls \ -('r:-:U>l ;\llIil1 ProdUCI. A further lIlark of tendency toward

a Chrlstle8S Christiallity II; tho dlspo"i. tion to place the emphasis ot thought and effort lipan the by-products of C'hrlsthu'­ity rather than upon the main product. The object of Chrt!lt's coming was to 1£>11.11 <d nflll nH'1l In Un/I. All hnman blclI:<(>(\ness will be achieved by return to Him and fellowship with Him. 1t is desirable that men .!!liallllve hygienically and that man shall have mastery or Na· ture's forces for wide t.ravf'1 and tbe en­joyment of all things malerlal. These, however, together with "o('\al reform!:' are the br·products of Chrl!ltianity.

When Chrbt's commission Is carrit,>d out. all I)hnse~ of w()rld blessednefliS fol­low. Sa\·,d mQn become ilelter Cathers, belte l' neIghbor!!. belter hug!nel;!j men. betlf'r citizens, and there is t rend ot world life toward kingclom rlghtf>ous­ncps. lnd(>ed, this is the shorte!\L road for all great reforms, henec Paul did not pan~e in his gospel effortq to organize antl·.!!la\'er~' <;ocleties or even tenl)lerance league!!. The gospel effort that sa\'es tlie individual will as a br-l)rOduct save l.-oclety.

But in Ihe face of all Ihis, we have a rCY(>rsnl or method and the modern cry tOI' social service in formf! that have smaJl referenre to Christ Himself and His message for the individual. )Iuch settlement work takes the form or slm· ply planting a mallei aesthetic hOJlle In a demorallzed community belle\'lng that Its light will dispel the darkness or sin.

There is also In these days the notion that a federation of churches into an intenrenominallonal fellowship means world redemption. "Get together" in­slead of "get to Cod" Is the cry of mod­ern christendom. with forgotfulness or the fact that "a get-together movement" without. a primary thought of God gal'e the Babel of history and Is not likely to produ('e better results In modern times.
