a th acfon free preea wdn dy novambar 19 1969 acts the clay i apeak put by rev andrew hmckenzifi of knox pteabyterlsn chnrcfa religion is not a thing apart the question of how urge a part religion play fa the life of the ordinary man or woman and we all place ourselves fa thai category dont we la debatable in tl live of a few person it u evident that reugkxu imperative are the great mothmtfag forcea fa their dally live but it mutt be admitted that in the great current of modern life religion play a very inconspicuous part it seem to be regarded ee aiowame an option or a hobby for 1eauare whether we kalixe it or not we art living in a world which la dominated by a maiariaurik outlook and the vast affairs of humanity mow u though a religion of the tplnt doe not exist and should not exist true many of u think we ant lull loyal to the tradition of our fathers and we turn now and then to religion to add aome tone or grace or respectability to our baptism wedding and funerals but in the actual conduct of our daily affairs religion ha no basic part we have shoved religion into a private corner of our in and buill a fence around it however we reserve that corner with aome prudence because we never know the day when we are going to need it but we take tone care to ue that our i stays fa it corner ft is largely the fault of christiana that thl situation has coin about they have given unnecessary support to the idea that religion is something to be done or acted out behind the dosed door of the church and something very irrelevant to modem business education and entertainment but u this idea true i think it is false and damnably so christianity wsi never meant to be a thing apart from life indeed we insist that religion and life are inseparable show me how a man lives and 111 tell you what ma religion it what a man does indicate what he moat profoundly religion i it is i for too long i insist we have drawn a strict ibe between what we call sacred and what we call areolar most of life la secular we think and ii is embarrassing to think of christ fa it but the christian sees christ fa everything he does in all his working and fa all his playing fa hi public life and fa hi private lite for him life id its totality 1 sacred surely we need to le that jetl was a carpenter and not priest of religion he dealt with ordinary life and ordinary people he wa interested fa sinner and that took fa literally everyone in the world of today he want to meet with teal people in the real world of work and striving and achievement he it not at home fa musty cathedrals he doe not dwell fa houses made with hands but he enters human hearti and humaa activities he wants to be where the action is where real life goes on fa the fields streets factories office and store u well a fa the place act apart for hi worship if the world need christ it it certain that christ needs the world he died not to save a fencedof f corner of your life and mine but to redeem the world of mankind from greed and selfishness and tin and we who call ourselves christian are stifling christ by locking him up fa a prisonhouse of piety or ecclesiaiticism have you heard of what happened when handera messiah was first performed in london over 200 year ago when the hallelujah chorus was sung the whole audience led by the king rose spontaneously to in feet we do it yet not merely because of the majesty of the music and its power to raove us but because even fa this materialistic age we intuitively perceive the truth of its theme the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdom of our
