Noblemen of the highest Bank in Spain used sometimes to receive, as a. token of honor [rum the kiner. a key, which they wore at the belt, to Show that they had the right to en- ter the royal palace at 'any time. Some peOpIe really think that. the Church is an institution that exists 10 humor them and to cater to their whims and moods. These people seldom realize that this is actually their conception of the Church, but their constant criticism of the Church really rests on this basis. The Bible is the key which opens the treasure house of the King of kings. The question arises. how- ever, Have we a right to claim these treasures in days of trouble when other days we read twenty columns of a newspaper to one of the Bible? Another large financial total comes from an estimate of the prop- erty value of the same churches which may safely be estimated at a round hundred millions, the Presby- terian and Methodist churches ac- counting for seventy millions of this. It may thus be seen that the finan- ces of the modern churches are an indication of their strength and imâ€"‘ portance. Totalling the sums received by the Canadian Protestant Churches for all purposes, the large amount of 35,- 000.000 is reported. Of this substan- tial sum the Methodist and Presby- terian denominations contributed apx'iroximately $11,000,000 each, the other churches contributing in equal ratio based on membership. Few realize the importance of the financial side of the modern church, based upon the annual contributions not only for the maintenance of the individual church, but the gifts tow- ards the missionary, philanthrOpic, medical, and educational work now widely carried on in both Home and Foreigh fields.

You need not pay me any salary because we have a potato field and this will be sufficient to keep us this year.” 1 use the strong‘ arm or to be a ruler and divider over men. Nor does it seek to do these things. It seeks to bring men into such vital relation with the God of truth and love and ' justice that they will themselves in government, in industry, in social life and in all human relationships respect and reverence and obey the principles and ideals exhibited by Jesus Christ. There is no sense in a man cutting the Church hecahse in some of its policies pursues a wrong course. not because the spirit of Jesus has not yet succeeded in gainâ€" ' ing authority in the lives of the men who direct the industrial concern with which he happens to he c011- nected. It is prOper to blame the Church if it fails to help men to a better \ie\\ of life and a clearer \ iew inf God and to an experience of His sax ing grace and strengthening pow- er. But. it is not the part of wisdom nor of honesty to blame the Church because she does not discharge some function that she does not have it in her power to discharge.
