CHURCH. One is the Burden of Its Divine Pur. pose, and Other is the Burden of Its Inefficient Members--A Heavy Burden Upon Christians. The burden of the Christian church i€¢ n real burdén, and it is at . least two-fold: one is the burden of its div- ine purpose, and the other is the bur- den of its inefficient members. The divine purpose, which is the carrying out of the life purpose of Jesus, is . 'worldwide in its scope; nnd demands the courage of all who have His spir- jit. It lays a heavy burden upon Christians, though the burden become: light to those who fre animated by the divine spirit. The burden of inefficiency is no less Ia burden, ihough its weight is oftener félt than spoken of~It issues from ths acquired weakness of all those wh have made the great profession an! thereupon have refused the obedienc: which it demands. There 'is nothing more evident i: church life to-day than the ease wit) which men assame the privileges cf being Christians unless it is the great er ease with which they evade th» consequent obligations. Wvery high and noble profession incurs its oblign tions. "It would "be an interesting proble: to investifate the roll of the at large, or of any individual churel, and discover what is the proportion of members who are conspicuous) faithful to the profession they - hav) made and. the obligations they hav» asstimed. It would not be so difficu! a problem to discover that manv Lea Hed Christians; and=evident--churc'r members are, as far as efficiency goe-. of no use to the kingdom of God, an! to remember that "he that is not with Me is against Me." it is a heartening thing for an church to receive accessions tg it: membership. It would bea more pro fitable thing, to the kingdom of God, if the quality = of © 'membership wer; raised, -and_ the Standard as well. It i only a' detriment to the church "40 have on its roll members whose onlv qualification for recognition is that once they were duly received, and that dince they have neither paid nor pra: ed nor served. : x As farms the: writer knows there i no organigatiop in. existence excep! the church that will indefinitely carr. ""'dead-heads'"" and in the end assuro them of eternal felicity. And if there i: any example of supreme selfishness, i belongs to a man or woman who re" tains membership in a church and at times acknowledges it, and yet never fers a sincere prayer for the success of its divine purpose. It is furthermore noteworthy to observe that such per sons are the first to demand for them- selves, and for their friends, the de- oont rites of the church, and their out- fl ward ,consolations in every time of dis- trons" The whole church, and every individ- ual church would be infinitely" better off if it demanded sharply that men live up, at least outwardly, to ihe churchly requirements. The church is afraid, afraid to make demands, and to insist that its members meet them. It covens to the rich, it whimpers be: fore the well-to-do, it seeks to become all things to all men, and thereby it becomes nothing of importance to anv man. divine purpose in the world, and if it is mot at work upon the fulfilment of that purpose, it is worse than useless: and that divine purpose is that men shall he saved, individually and eol lectively; and to be saved means to begin to rise towards the likeness o the great Head of the church. There is only one way to rise towards that ideal; it is the way to attainment through sacrifice. It might prove 'to be a disheartening thing to" come to know how few church members are ad- vancing this divine purpose to the point .of personal sacrifice. Truly, it is the part of no one to judge of others but it is also true that realities al- ways manifest themselves, In the great movement that seeks to make réligion real to men is it not a necessary part of the work that the church raise hor standards 'dnd mike the demand that her members give hostages to their fuiure. There is no finer sign of Christian- ity than that displayed when charity is thrown over the frailties of human nature. But "it is a sign of weakness and not of charity when the church whe refuse, by any .visible sign, to value her life or purpose. ¢ Jesus Christ made demands of His followers: "Follow me" was no idle word. And in that great example, animated by His spirit, it behooves the church to make demands, to raise the standards, to compel growth in iency. : w=. C, W. J. Bryan Goes to Panama. New York, Nov. 25.

What Christian Scientists object . THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25, 1911, religious beliffs is not that he should disagree with their religious "beliefs, but that he should attempt to- teach others what those beliefs are without first having gained a correct knowl edge of them himself, and in so doing give his hearers - altogether erroneous views of them. Irom his statements as reported in your issue of the ith, it is very plain that what he is op woetng is not Christian Science, bat his own mistaken concept of it. In dealing with a subject of such impor- | tance end magnitude, a critic should made sure of nis ground and -thet- he i* not repeating simply the same old arguments that have done duty for so many years, as the critic appears to {pave done in this case. If" As an example, the critic speaks of | Christian Science cs being based on mental suggestion. Had he been try- ing to lind something as diametricaily popposed to Christian Science as day- Light is different from darkness, he | could not have found a better exam- iple than mental suggestion, The very oundations of the two systems are absolutely and unalterably eoppesed ty euch other, for it is a well-known fact that mental suggestion had for its basis a belief in the power of the hu- man, mortal mind, or the carnal Imind, as St. Paul terms it, and his iso-ealied mind's supposetl power over lother minds and sbodies; on the other {hand, Christian" Science entirely re- and declares. unmistakeably that the divine mind, God, -who is infinite, un- changing love, is the anly real heal ing power. The Chvistian Scientist knows that only as he subjects his hu- man will or, mind to the divine mind, the "mind which was also in Christ Jesus," recognizing no _ather power and relying absolutely on the truth Which Jesus said should make. free, can he do the healing. works which our Master said should follow those vho understood His teachings. The belief that Jesus' healingbworks were purely the result of his own uni que personality, and that, therefore, it would be impossible for such works to. be done again, will not stand in- vestigation for a moment. I Hoes poi accord with ewhat Jesus (limseli taught, for he repeatedly impressed upon his disciples that it was not through any virtue of his personality, but the truth which he manifesied, which did the works. He said, "The Son ean do nothing of Himseli,"" and he always taught that the spiritual understanding - of the truth which theals and saves is always available, |to all men at 'all times, in fact, to all {who obeyed his precepts. Whisn send- ling out his disciples, he" always in- jstructed them to not only preach the gospel, but to heal the sick and sin- ful as well, He was very explicit, on this point, and 'that there might be no possible misundersianding of what He meant, He said, "He that believeth ion Me, the works that I do shall he |do also;" and almost his last words to His disciples before His ascension, were: 'These signs shall follow them that believe," the "signs". including the healing of the sick. Other evidence jthat this view is gorrect is furaighgd by histery, which Sells us that not') only his immediate disciples, but Paul and othersy who were not his person- jal disciples, healed the siek and raised the dead. History further records that for three. centuries alter the resurrec- tion the primitive Christians healed the sick by spiritual means only. To- day the healing works of Christian i science, including the healing of ihe most pronounced forms of both fune- tional and organic disease in their most: advanced stages after all mater {ial means had failed; also the over. coming of the worst forms of sin, in- Teluding bondage to llquor and drug habits; the bringing of happiness and (comfort and prosperity to thousands of homes and families; all prove that the Christ-healing hus lost none of ite jofficacy, and is as powerful to, heal now as it was eighteen hundred vears jago, and that in the proportion in {which we follow our Master's com- mands, ean we ' also make practical that truth which He said would make free. --C, R.
