Free Within TheJState Church Shows New Power Remarkable Rise of Interest in the Churches and New Consciousness of Solidarity— Old Problems That Still Rec ur.

•y WILLIAM T. ELLIS Within the put ten week. I have •t'endrd church aervtcca In alx different places, ah of the enngregationa were large. Mime could not be < ontahind in the auditorium.. The other evening a banker friend checked hi. experience with mine; only ouce had he found a meager congregation of two hundred, and that becauM* the minister was notoriously Inadequate. Our day s rising tide of religious Interest, much of It outside the lines ot formal, organized Chrtstlanity. shows Itself primarily In the Church. From the beginning, followers of Christ have organized themselves into churches. One of the peculiar thrills that come to a traveller In Bible Lands is to visit old churches that have stood since the third or fourth century; like the Church ot the Nativity In Bethlehem. or the Chapel of the Burning Bush In the Monastery ot St. Katherine, on Mount Sinai; and to realize the long procession ot disciples who have worshipped therein throughout the centuries. The futile madness of the Hitlers and Stalins who seek to exterminate the Church is best seen against this historic background. They Snap. th. Nation Free within the State, yet the best servant of the State, the churches ot this western world are an influence to be more widely recognised. Most of our cltisens are affiliated with a church. Their standards and ideals are those taugh* in the New Testament. They are not as demonstrative, or as much in the limelight, as Mime group, of far leaser Importance. Yet they steadily carry on In shaping the nation's purtawea and ideals. One day recently. In the White House In Washington, a memlwr ot the PreaMent's official family said to me. tapping my chest as he spoke. "It was your crowd that won the last election.” By that he meant that the quiet, godly, homeloving. church-going fr»lk had been the dominating force at the ballot box; and that without political organisation. Always It Is so: the voice of church-going United States and Canada la determinative on every Important Issue. Politicians and publicists too often overlook these milllona of unvneal folk who make up the church' membership, and whime united power for righteousness is Irresistible. All over the continent, from the sparsely settled Canadian northland down to the Hio Grande, churches are functioning constantly and actively as a force for the elevation of life. More than two million Sunday School Beechers, a vast, unpaid force, are helping boys and girls to live noble Ilves. Women's micletlea In uncounted number and strength are meeting and praying and working and giving for the needs of their own parishes and the larger world field. Young peoples societies by the tens of thousands are training their mentbiTS for the good life. Above all. the regular services of the church, are setting the standards for Christian living. Only God knows lhe greatness of the life and work of the churches. Their titem bersh Ip is for our real "good society." As It Used To Be Sometimes the glamor of distance leads us to attribute perfection to the Church of long ago Not so; as our Lesson clearly shows. Those very first churches, of apostolic days, suffered the same handicaps as many congregations of today, Paul bad to write sternly to some of his beloved flocks. They tended to break up Into factions, and to follow ambitious leaders. The ••holier-than-thou" element made trouble, as. paradoxically. It usually does. Then there was that familiar figure. the "church boss.'" the man who dearly loved the preeminSßce Os all the thorns In the floah that afflict pastors, the "leading layman" - usually rich - who wants to run things. Is probably the * •The Sunday Sehmtl Lesson for June 11 !• » ol *« Church Problems."—l Corinthians 1:1-3. 10-111 ♦: 14-21; Galatians ISI-7; 4:1-2®; I Thessalonians 1:1: iaeoe e • a a

worst. 1 om e heard a wealthy Methodist layman talking an arrogantly to a bishop that I wondered why the bishop, a husky militant, did not physically throw him out of the door. What a surprise It will be to these wilful little “church bosses" when they find the obscure place that will be thelra in the Church Triumphant — if they are admitted at all. Church factions can show more of the spirit of Satan than should ever be admitted to a Christian community. A church row is usually the meanest sort of quarrel. Yet even in Corinth, and hi others of the churches founded by Paul, there were cantankerous Christians. even as we have them today. Evidently the perfection-seek-ing church will not realise Ita alm until it joins "the general assembly of the church of the first born.” Bo we must be patient with ourselves and with our brethren. Union or Unity? All Christendom rejoices in the great reunion of American Methodism. Il Is a mighty triumph for the (hristtan spirit of this age. Nevertheless, even tn the case ot this merger, there are dissidents and Irreconcllables. Bitt Paul's plea for peace and concord to his churches is prevailing. As Jesus Christ Is exalted, all lesser leaders and Issues aiuk into unimportance. Paul took the wise way. which is forever the way of unity; and unity Is more important than union. He magnified the Master By | recalling the disciples to their ' love for Jesus their only laird and I Saviour, he drew them Into closer | bonds of fellowship. Over doctrin- | es and rituals and forms of governi ment, Christians may argue and i disagree. But when they talk about ' Him hi Whom they have believed, i their hearts are drawn together In unity. In all churches — Protestant. Catholic. Greek and what not — we find multitudes whose heart* are warm toward the Saviour; and with them we have true fellowship As Christians draw 'closer to Christ, they find themselves in complete union with one (another. . 1 Still, the church is more than a [likeminded crowd following Jesus. It is an organization. Divinely established. ft must have order and discipline Paul held the rod of authority up before those misbehaving Corinthian Christians, laixness In discipline Is one of the real weaknesses of m<»dern churches | The price of spiritual obedience I and conformity should be exacted I of all who claim the priceless boon lof church membership. Our Ix'saon text's cloning words are a fitting climax: "Now we exhort you. brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded. support the weak, be patient toward all men.
