World-Wide Glimpses Os i Oldest, Largest Institution A Traveller’s Memories Os Diversified Churches . Scattered Over The Globe—The Most Pervasive ’ Force In Western World.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Nestling in the hills of remote western Persia I came upon a little Nestorian church, built, fortresslike, of heavy stone, with a tiny door that one could enter only by stooping. It was Immemorlally old, and its very structure made clear that it had had to withstand physical attacks throughout the centturies. Yet that crude building evoked a vision of the great Nestorian Church, which once carried the Gospel as tar as Peking, and which -today has its greatest strength Ln >uthwestern India. Memory ot this one church calls up others—St. Peter's in Rome, the largest of all the myriads of church edifices in the world, crowd ed with the riches of the ants, and ever thronged with worshippers, a fit symbol of the numbers and wealth and power of the Church. It is a short step in imagination to the famous sane on the banks of the Thames—‘‘The Abbey that makes us We” -—where the bones of immortal dead bear testimony to the truth that the apex of the British Empire symlwlizes the Christian faith of her People. A Ruin In The Desert Again. I am taking oft my shoes to enter the Chapel of the Burning Bush, within the walls of the Sinai Monastery, where, for more than fourteen unbroken centuries the Greek monks have kept the lamps of worship alight. No new thing is the Christian Church. Even a keener sense of the antiquity of the Church came to me, not in the Church ot the Nativity,, in Bethlehem, which is the oldest | of all existing church edifices; or in the Church of the Holy Sepulche in Jerusalem, which I have so' often visited; but in the ruins ofi Esbeita, in the midst of the trackless Desert ot Sinai. An old Bedouin,Xvho came tip while I was there, told me that 1 was the foreigner to visit the place; but 1 know he was mistaken. Most wonderful of the ruins were the four churches, the largest of them with its still standing apses, perfect in line and form and color, I ‘ saturated with the sunshine of ai thousand years.” Esbeita was an. ecclesiastical center in the early - Byzantine days, and the seat of a ; bishopric; but the conquering wave I of {dam inuildaited it, and the' Christians died fighting, as present evidence show. For more than a thousand years these wondeful architectural remains have been forgotten in their desert fastness, vis- * # ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ » * The International Sunday School Lesson for May 12 is—‘‘The Christian Church”. —Acts 2:41-45; Ephesians 4:1-7, 1116. * » » » » » * * # * * * * *

ited only be the gazelles, the jack-, als and the wandering Bedouin. I Still stand those lovely ar.see a« an ! unheeded testimony to, the faith of a deathless Church. A- Ruin in Scotland I have visited lona, "the West-1 minster Abbey of Scotland.” and its memorials of St. Columbia, stretching back into dim antiquity; but even this sacred site did not take • such possession of my imagination as hie wee church at Anwoth, - now a vine-covered ruin, where' Samuel Rutherford once preached,' and which he loved with passionate! devotion. i "O little birds of Anwoth, How oft I count you blest; But, now by happier altars, I go to make my nest.” Abandoned churches call up thoughts of the message once spok-l en in them; of the transports of fervor of worship experienced therein; of the souls that there found the Light and Life, and of the life associations kindled about their altars. The buildings are us-j ed no more; but their mission continues in the untraceable influence: upon human souls. In Red Russia Statly St. Isaac's Cathedral, in Leningrad, is one of the churches no traveller forgets, even though, like myself, he has visited many hundreds. Today St. Isaac’s is an "anti-God" museum, perverted by the Soviet Government to a diametrically opposite purpose from that for which it was built at such great cost. Formal religion is largely in eclipse in Russia; but the I faith of this mystic-hearted people I cannot be killed, ami the Church in ! Russia will be living in revived i power when the soviet regime is ■ only a dark memory. I“O where are kings and empires now, Os old that went and came? Bmt, Lord, Thy Church is living yet, A thousand years the same." In her all-pervasiveness and potency the Church of Christ can I scarcely be overestimated. No othi er institution on earth is so widely ’distributed. Over all North America the Church has gone wherei ever people dwell. Not a village is ! without its church, or churches. I And these do more to shape the ! ideals, the character and the conduct of the people than any political party or any secular organization. It is more than passing strange that this most powerful force in the life ot Canada and the United States is today more lacking in effective national leadership than ever before. Os all times, the present is one in which the whole company of Christians that comprise the church which includes all churches should be marshalled for a fuller, more vital expression of her

: cardinal purposes. A revival of relllgion is the most praoticul of ull I programmes for recovery and for | reform. The Mission Os The Church Divinely created, many-named, I many-formed, often Imperfect, the I Christian Church is today the best institution that civilization knows. It alone is concerned iSimarily | with the spiritual qualities of mankind. It shapes <|iaracter, fix* | inure standards in a changing world land keeps people aware of their I destiny. Mortal's highest function — that of worship of the Living God -is ; expressed in the Church, it thus j satisfies his profoundest soul need. I In the Church, he meets his Heavenly Father and his Saviour; and : does reverence to them. There he learns God’s will. There he finds a j fellowship more real and vital than [ exists in any man-made organiza- ■ tion. , For the Church is not a sancti- ' fied club or lodge or fraternal soj ciety. The Church was founded by 'Christ Himself and vitalised by I His Spirit. It is made up of the ' company of those who are united ito Him, in spiritual union. The I Bible calls the Church the Body jof Christ, of which we are members. It is no mere organization; it | is a living spiritual entity, in which ' the parts grow up into the perfec- ;; tion of the whole. The Church’s Open Door Most organizations are exclusive ' and pride themselves on their exclusiveness. Not so the Church. It is the one organization on earth ’ I that opens her doors to all, the : high and the low, the rich and the ' I poor, the learned and the illiterate, i Democracy, wntch had Its roots in ' the Church, is best expressed in I her membership. There are no soI I cial or economic lines in the wor- ’! ship of God. Doubtless some local congrega- '! tions — though their number is far less than critics would imply ’l—are snobbish in their social attitilde. But they cannot exclude the I poor unless they have first excfud■'ed Chriet. W'ose the Chur, h real- ‘ ly is. With few trifling exceptions, found in or about some of the large ‘'cities, the churches are open-door--1; ed and open hearted to the poorest. '{ One reason for this is that the i Church is not only a place of worI I ship, hut a fellowship of all who (.seek Christ, and a school of training in discipleship to Him. The ’ Church carries on Christ. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS ■’ Faults in the life breed errors in i the brain. —Cow’per. .
