THE GREATEST NEED OF THE CHURCH Charles Stelsle. oe What does the Church need most? It would be difficult, perhaps, to se- cure a unanimous opinion on this subject--but here's the expression of a' conviction based upon a fairly broad experience: It isn't more money. The church is not dependent upon money. It was more powerful when it had vir- tually no wealth, In those days it £.

Its opponents declared that it was "turning the world upside down." Its leader was without "headquar- ters;" His diciples were wanderers and outcasts from society. They lived in caves and catacombs. Bat all the while they were slowly un- dermining the immorality and heathenism of the period. \ The church needs some money to carry on its work under present con- ditions, but 'money threatens e ! day to ~ become the curse of the | church, just as it has proved to be- come the curse of many another institution. Money may tone down its message. It may tie up its best activities. The kind of money that is of greatest value to the church is that which comes from those who can least afford to give it, This money" will be than that which was earned by-the sweat of another's brow rather than 'by the sacrifice of the one who gave ity # co Money has undoubtedly Deen a Messing the church, but ft has been money which it gave away, The increase of its riches has not been the cause of its increasing in- fluence, where that influence has made {itself felt for good.

There was | | a lot of "religion" among the Israe- | | lites when Jeremiah protested | against their inquity. And when | they said to him, in substance: "Did | | You ever see a more beautiful ser- | | vice, and a greater number of burnt | sacrifices being offered upon the | altar, and-a larger number of meet- | ings presided over by wrultured priests?" Jeremiah denounced them | even more vehemently, And when | | he would not cease from his protest. | ing/they put him into prison. When | Paul. visited Athens he told those] worshippers of 30,000 gods that they | were "altogether too religious." | You may pick a man out of the | Sutfer, scrape off tha mud, and find | a Methodist, a Baptist, a Presbyter- | fan or an Episcopalian ready to 'fight | for his "religion."

But the fact that it's ol¢ | doesn't necessarily make it good. | | There have been many things done | in the name 'of religion which were | actually the work of the devil. ligion--pure ,and undefiled--is wonderful thing. But to be merely | | "religious" doesn't help matters | | much, Often it has simply a harden- | | ing effect. ! | It isn't more sociability, To be | cordial and free from snobbishness | Is a most excellent tying even for | the church. But the church isn't | suffering today because it hasn't | | enough oyster suppers and ice cream | festivals. Tt has ap abundance of | clubs and classes. It often has re- | | ception committees, and the minister | and his helpers greet the stranger | at the door. The church furnishes | social life for millions, and in this particular it is performing a valu- able service. On the whole, the church isn't failing as a social in- stitution. Sometimes, it is feared, this part of its work is greatly over- emphasized. © The danger i¢ that its | Social work may swamp much else | that is still more valuable. It isn't more philanthropy. The church has always been the center and promoter of philanthropic work. If was the organizer of hospitals when others permitted the sick to suffer and die. It cared for little children when the world had not yet learned fo appreciate the value of 'one such little one." In évery land, and to all the people, wherever suffering was' found, - there the church has just given freely that burdens might be lightened = and care made easier to carry. But what the church needs most just now is not to increase its philanthropis work, for gthers have learned from | the church how to minister to the needy. : What does the church need most? It needs money, but ft must be ' clean, It needs members, but they must be true. It needs ministers, but they must he strong. * It needs religion but it must be pure.

But more than all these it needs men and women who are ready to pay the price of discipleship. More than all these it needs persecution because it dares go contrary to the accepted order of things--when these things are rong. Nothing 'would make the church grow in in- fluence quite so much as to be 0 secuted for righteousness' sake.

Every hostess who contemplates entertaining at Christmas time gives attention to table decorations as well as to the table itself. Red and green are the accepted holiday colors and are used as foun- dations for nearly all decorative sdhemes. There are the red pinks, roses and poinsettas to be had, a few dried red leaves and blossoms, the decorative pods known as Chinese lanterns, and holly. Mistletoe and | varied greenery are also available. | By Of course, all sorts of decorations | may be had in paper, and flowers made of wood shavings and painted are the most remarkable novelty of the season. tion. it is said, for an entire year. be An attractive red table may Re-] achieved by lining lace centrepiece | a|and plate doilies with red silk be-| ng them on the polished the damask cloth, basket in the centre other red flowers fore placi table. or over Place a gilt with holly or Shade the shades, holly-painted shades, red- rose shades, or with red mica rose shades which are new and very at- tractive. Half-apples of red papier- mache may hold nuts, a red rose an ice, a pimento cup the salad and so on. Little holly baskets make attractive place-cards, or red ribbon button-bags filled with cinnamon red drops may be used, ~ With electric lights available, the use of thick/ strands of green roping with tiny red bulbs scattered along its length makes an attractive and unusual decoration, Another pretty fancy is to cover the table: with white cheesecloth with a little fringe of smilax and using a tiny strand of the smilax around the edge of the table. In the centre, place a small Christmas tree, banking it to keep it firm, with greenery and red apples. Use red candles on the tree and h ng on it a little red silk stocking bonbons or a tiny gift for each guest, Use four corner lights with red shades invested at the curyent rate of interest to produce an income at least half as large She earned while ANUFACTURER INSURANCE COM Branch Office, 58 Brock St., 1 would like to create an estate of $ insurance.

Cover the table with the usual white damask cloth, then make a centre. piece of a single layer of cotton batting, edging it with green roping. In the centre, stand a figure of Santa Claus as large as possible, having a pack upon his back.
