That matter is substantial or has life and sensation, is one of the false beliefs of mortals, and exists only in a suppositious mortal consciousness, (p. 278.) “A New Testament writer plainly describes faith, a quality of mind, as the ‘substance of things hoped for.’ ... In proportion as the belief disappears that life and intelligence are in or of matter, the immortal facts of being are seen, and their only idea or intelligence is in God.’Mp. 279.)

tions that no longer exist be followed today without some important adaptations to new conditions?

This question is not one that deals with the church's message but its method, its approach to the generation which it seeks to serve. Gradually some of the parts of this program are dying for want of real support on behalf of the rank and file of the church. It is much easier

to' blame the lethargy of Christians than it is to face a changed situation and attempt to build a program that will serve our day as finely as the program once served its day. A salesman that does not get results does not always blame the public, but wonders whether his publicity or goods is weak. Dare the church take such an objective attitude toward its Sunday problems? Static Church Means Disaster To all Christian workers there comes the realization that a static church in a moving world means catastrophe for both. The church then must adapt its approach to the generation it seeks to serve. As it does this it will find itself in the true aspostolic succession The early Christian church had at various times in various places representatives of all forms of church government and organization that ve have today. No church can exclusively say that their system is the only true apostolic type. This was true because through the leadership of the Spirit of God in the church, they were led to find that type of organization and program that best presented Christ to the people whom they were seeking to reach. Such an attitude on the part of the primitive church ought to urge upon the modern church the need of changing any part of its traditional program in the interest of needy souls. To paraphrase the Master, “The program was made fpr man, and not for the program.” We must have the courage and the intelligence to experiment in favor of more effective work. The test of the church program is not the number of meetings, nor the type of time of meeting, but the extent to which Christ is made real and vital in the lives of those affected. It is only fair to say that the church probably has never had a more open-minded ministry than it has today. The conservatism of the church that prevents adjustment is often due to the pew. Os course, all of us find it difficult to change our habits. The Sunday program is being simplified and unified in many enurenes today. Correlation of various activities is being demanded. One of the strongest movements in this direction is toward a united service of worship and teaching or some other type of merger service. Loyalties May Conflict Under the two separate services of church and Sunday School, there are often conflicting loyalties and programs. Sometimes there are groups that support just one of these. Ths means the development of inadequate religious experience. The unified service seeks to avoid repetition and make whatever service conducted, beautiful and significant. Family worship in anew way is restored and group worship is strengthened. This movement is steadily gainjng and is probably partly due to over-emphasis on departmentalism on the part of seme groups. As to the Sunday evening program of the church, much overhauling is being done. To be sure, there are communities where thi3 service is still vigorous and vital, but in many more it is a kind of a fifth wheel and largely supported by the loyalty of those who attended morning service. Again we need to remember the test: where it is of real service it should be kept, but where not, it should not be allowed to gradually die but honestly and fearlessly dealt with. Before the radio and the automobile it presented a special appeal to those not definitely attached to the church. It may still do this in many communities, bu f most ministers would agree that this Is not true in the large. Sunday night is largely family night at home. This is seen in the fact that the radio time then is the most expensive of the eitire week. Some Night Services Abandoned Many pastors have faced the situation and no longer attempt a night service but give their main strength and time to a supervised young people’s program. They find that to major on this is better than to divide time and energy on two services at night. The vesper service is having a greater appeal of late than in former days. Sunday problems we have always had and probably always will have but they can be sources of new insights instead of burdens if faced with a determination like Paul had to be all things to all men. The average man unconnected with the church rarely comes to church unless already impressed by something that happened outside the church walls. More of our activity must seek to personally reach him. Evangelism of the future must largely be case study through personal contact. Revival Is to Open An eight-day series of evangelistic services is to open at the Westminster Presbyterian Church tomorrow’ night in charge of the Rev. and Mrs. L. O. Brown. Mr. Brown is an artist as well as a minister and illustrates his sermons with chalk drawings.
