Could we not put together Mohammedanism and Christian- ity and make them one ?" I asked him how he would do it. He replied, “Christ lived a very high, noble, holy life, and He never married, Now Mohammed did marry. so I would suggest that we make Christ the theory of religion and Mohammed the practice.” No finer testimony could be given to Christianity, and certainly no more striking contrast could be instituted be- tween the two religions. Christianity stands for a demand on human nature to rise from the lower to the higher realm, emphasizing what ought to be, as against what actually is, and providing the necessary power to “come up higher.” Mohammedanism, on the other hand, emphasizes what actually is, and is not at all concerned with anything else than to stay where it is. even with the comparatively low ideals of Mo- hammed and the Koran. But the Gospel cannot possibly be satisfied with descending to man’s level, or remaining content with ethical standards just suited to people. Christ requires the highest standard, and also guarantees its realization by MR. W. E. (“Pussyfoot”) Johnson, the welléknown temper- ance worker. has just returned from a six months’ tour of South and East Africa and Egypt. In the last two years, he has travelled through the strongest Moslem countries of the world, and in an interview he said that Mohammedanism is growing faster than Christianity. One of the reasons for this is that the ethical standards of the Moslem religion “are not too high for the minds of those to whom the appeal is made, being below that of Christianity and above the so-called pagan religions.” This is an interesting expression of opin- ion. and it will be useful to compare it with some words of a missionary who has been working among Moslems for some years, and who, therefore, speaks with authority: An earnest Moslem college student came to see me personally after the close of one of my addresses. He said, “Don’t you think that Mohammedanism is democratic ?” “Yes,” I replied, “very demo- cratic toward Moslems. But does your democracy extend to man as man, or man as Mohammedan? What is its attitude toward the non-Mohammedan, is it democratic there ?” He replied that he was “afraid that it was not.” Then he said, “Don’t you “Either the denominations will rise to the occasion and guide in this movement toward a needed unity in Christian effort. or they will be repudiated by enough of their own numbers to bar them from having any worthy part in bring- ing in the day when the prayer of our Lord that all may be one shall be more perfectly realized.”â€"Charles E. Vermilya. A response 1°er the floor was: “Doctrinal. yes; but in the old terminology, no!” ' “THE PRIMARY AIMS OF DENOMINATIONALISM have been pretty well realized. Some things have been settled. The very accomplishment of these ends, however, presents an entirely new set of conditions, which call for a reconsideration of the weapons of warfare, and the part denominations are to play in the future if the influence of the Kingdom is to be speedily and successfully extended. To extend the Kingdom has been the professed aim of our denominational forces in the past. This aim honestly and fearlessly faced today must result in the conviction that the method of denominational competition is entirely out of harmony with both the spirit and ideals of the Kingdom. The question can be raised as to whether the denominations have not gone about as far as they can go alone in the completion of this larger mission. world happy. The following fugitive poem, by Florence Howard Wolcott, presents a pleasing modern view: We read about the mothers of the days of long ago, With their gentle, wrinkled faces and their hair white as snow; They were “middle-aged” at forty, and at fifty donned lace '--v -v.â€" â€" â€"v-â€"â€"â€"-â€"aâ€" -The text for the sermon taht day was the inquiry, “How many loaves have ye?” Phillips Brooks urged his hearers to capitalize the little belief they already had. “Have faith in God and let it grow.” was his exhortation. That sermon marked the turning-point for Gunsaulus, and doubtless saved him for the Christian ministry. His grace. “IF THE NATIONS BELIEVE IN PROPAGANDA OF ideas. why should not the church give greater place to doc- trinal preaching?” asked Dr. Harris Franklin Ball of Gar- rett Biblical Institute, in pointing out “The Relation of Doc- trinal Preaching to the New Day,” at a Methodist Episcopal Council of Cities held in Buffalo. “The future will be won by ideas. not force. The ideas and ideals of Jesus are the only ones that are adequate. There should be an ordered instruction in the principles of Christian faith. We should have more teaching sermons.” IT IS RELATED OF THE LATE DR. FRANK W. GUNSAU- lus that as a young man. he got into doubts and difficulties that almost led him to give up his faith. It occurred to him that Phillips Brooks might help him. So he went to Boston, arriving on a Saturday night. and at once sought out the great preacher. Dr. Brooks invited him to attend his servme the next morning. _ - . n - A.
