James R. Hart, Editor. S M. Rutherford. Business iWanager John s. FitzgibDons. City Editor IN LIFE OF CHRIST GIVEN SATURDAY AFTERNOON BY ELBERT RUSSELL PRESIDENT R. L. KELLY Preaches an Able Discourse on Christian Unity Good Attendance Institute Notes. The Bible Institute at Earlham is rrmVAig in attendance and interest, and is considered one of the best institutes ever held. Saturday. The session at 2 p. in. was opened by sinking, "Lead Me Gently all the Way." Elbert Russell then crave his third study in the Life of Christ "The Galilean Ministry." The beginning of his ministry here marKs an imporranc crisis in ins me, as is shown by the fact that he arose a long time before tiay, ana went forth to pray. Jesus used the synagogues where men were accustomed to meet, to preach His kingdom to those who came to hear. Jesus healed the sick who had faith to ask His help,but He sought to avoid publicity as a healer, by enjoining secrecy on those who had been healed. Not only was Jesus attended by men disciples, but there were women who had been healed by Him, and who gave of their means for the support of Jesus. Thus early did we have a woman's missionary society and a supported ministry. Jesus made a systematic effort to preach His gospel in all Galilee. There are three cases in which Jesus raised the dead. There are eight eases of what are called nature miracles. Jesus' method of healing varied greatly. In all cases He had some knowledge of the people healed. He sometimes laid His hands on those healed, and sometimes He made use of means. Saturday Afternoon. The session at 3 p. m. was opened by the singing of a solo by Miss Bogue, "When Sore Afflictions Press the Soul." Thomas Newlin then gave his fourth study in Christianity and social problems Social Ethics. Ethics is the science of moral conduct. Christian ethics has to do with the conduct of individuals, social ethics Av'Ah that of society. Christianity has no stones to throw at rich men, but Christ taught that character is transcendently more valuable than money. The so-called best men are not always the best citizens, for they are so busy keeping themselves good, they have no time to help the community. Christianity . has produced a fine moral character, but it needs to create a Christian citizenship. There is not, as their ought to be, a public conscience about the awful condition of society in the slums. Our age needs to be convicted of its own special and peculiar sins. It, is much easier to condemn the sins of past ages than those of our own. Saturday Night. The session at 8 p. m. Avas opened by singing, "Holy, Holy, Holy." Daisy Barr led the meeting in prayer. The male quartette rendered the song, "Jesus the Light of the World." Then Shailer Matthews gave a study of the Literature of New Testament time. By this I mean Jewish Literature.

It would be impossible to consider all the literature of the age, because next to our own it was the most literary ' age in the world. Letters were widely diffused. Books could be bought for a few cents apiece. They had schools and universities, especially of rhetoric and medicine. At Alexandria was a great Library and here were a multitude of Jews who caught up the bookish habits of the people of Alexandria, many of whom devoted their time to writing philosophy and poetry. Josephus undertook to re-tell the story of the Bible in a style to suit Greek skeptics. Next after him comes the Jewish Allegorists, who put mystical meanings into the Bible character. The writings of Barnabus belong to this type. The writings of Phylo are as hard to read as an English classic. There was a cycle of poets who wrote the Svbilline oracles. In Judea there developed t type of writing not found elsewhere, that is, the Apochryphal. Daniel is the typical example. There is a wide gap between the writings of the Old Testament and the New, but the Apochralypse is on somewhat the same type as the Aproehwyphal. The Apochalypse made much use of symbol to typify truth. It grew up in time of persecution for the purpose of encouraging the people who were perse cuted as though all their acts hadJ been foretold. It was safer both for ;tho writer and reader to smbolize lue cruei llien of whom t wrote. instead of calling them bv name. The writers get a deal of comfort from the thought of the punishment of their enemies. Christianity as a literary thing must be studied from the point of view of the literature of its age. For instance, it would be futile to study the Apochralypse from a scientific standpoint without a knowledge of the Aprochlyptic literature of its age. Were the men who wrote these Apochralyses, deceivers? Most certainly not. One of the most interesting addresses given this year at the Bible Institute was the institute sermon delivered by President Robert L. Kelly last evening. President Kelly read as a scripture lesson the 12th chapter of Corinthians, after which prayer was offered. Mrs. Hadley then gave a vocal solo. President Kelly used as a text "Christian Unity." He called at tention to the value of the study of this subject of "Christian Unity," in our 1'lSes. He also brought to notice the vastness of this subject and the great amount of reading necessary to thoroughly understand it. If we would study all these books we would find many apparent contradictions. We would find passages from Paul and John which lack this unity. But today we are growing as a church; we are groAving as a people and I pray we are groAving united. We might consider this subject of Christian Un'Ay fro manother stand point; that of necessity among Christian people. It is not long since Ave could look upon the church and see the sharp lines of sectarianism, but that time is gradually passing aAvay and it is a fact that the greatest differences in the Friends church today are those of eccelesiastical and not theorlogolical differences. But let us look upon this subject under the head of "Christian Genius." The things that we must ever look upon is the guidance !n our daily liA-es. We prize that talk which Jesus had with the woman at the well in which he spoke of the spring of life. But we must not forget that misunderstandings have arisen among us as Christian people. Christian anarchy exists in this prinicple if not properly understood. Mormonism loves to practice polygamy under this misunderstanding. God is not disclosing his thoughts to any one man alone. We will not give up our idea that God direets man, but we will quote John, who says, "When the Son of God makes a man free he is free indeed." We must not forget that while God reveals himself to one man

he is revealing himself to others. Thus we should take as our authority the church in preference to the individual. We must not forsake the experience of the church, but we should yield to the consecrated experience of our brethren. We are still men and women needing God 's help among us in everything. Let us have Christian Unity. We must remember that this great body, the church, has a great many members and each has a duty. The Apostle Paul had a sympatheffc mind and he wrote this 12th chapter of Corinthians. We must have this spirit of Christian brotherhood. Now as we Friends meet here from three yearly meetings may we reconsecrate ourselves in the work of our

God. Mr. Barnes gave a vocal solo, after which the benediction was pronounc ed. A union Christian Endeavor prayer meeting was held at 6:30 p. m., which was well attended. Saturday Morning. The meeting for worship at S:lo was led by Caroline Jones of Shadeland, Ind. The subject was: "God the home of the Soul. The session at 9 was opened by singing: "Break Thou the Bread of Life." Thomas Newlin then gave his study on "The Function of the Church." A man or an organization must first know its function, and then adjust itself to 'As suroundings. A very small proportion of our population attend church on the Sabbath day. The Jews are known today, not because of what they are; but because of the memory of their rejected leaders. . The function of the church is selfperpetuation. We as a church offer very little inducement to our young men who feel called to the ministry, and there is a exeat dearth of vounmen coming on in the ministry. One of the greatest of virtues is the willingness to face facts, and we need to face the facts that while society and its instituions are undergo ing rapid development, the church must not get too far behind. Men and Avomen must be trained, for all kinds of service in the church. A church must do both foundation vork and superstructure Avork if it is to prosper. The time is past Avhen our church can content itself by bearing our testimony and saving ourseh-es. The church is like Christ: It can not sa'e others and still save itself. Every -church should be in some sense an institutional church, but it must be devoutly spiritual. It must be able to make the men of the Avorld knoAv that the face of God is toAvard them and not against them. It must recognize and realize the divine idea in human life. The church does not need to gecome a reformatory, or political institution. It heed not dictate to the state what it must do but it must make the state. Avant to do right. The church needs to be socialized in its finances. We spend money on ourselves in the purchase of luxuries, but are sIoav to contribute to the good of the community, Whatever has reason in is first rate Quakerism. We have been sIoav in using music and the facts and discoveries of sci ence. Routine and program are always easier than intelligence, but not nearly so valuable. The session at 10 a. m. was opened by singing, "Jesus More Than Life to Me." Then Prof. Shailer Mathews gaAe a study of "The People of NeAv Testa ment Times." The "People," that is the common people, as distinct from the Pharisees, is our subject this morning. The Jordan River is the most useless river in the Avorld, too shallow to serve as a military defense, too low down for irrigation, too impure to drink, too subject to floods to help agriculture. The land of Galilee is the true Holy Land of the Christian. Nearly all of Jesus' Avork Avas done outside Judea, and it Avas Jerusalem down in Judea where he was killed. The JeAvs and Samaritans hated each other because thej Avere so much alike and yet not alike. The aAerage people wore tunics instead of trousers. This was typical of oriental civilization and was accompanied by many coordinate circumstances. They believed disease was caused by deA-ils, and they attempted to get them out by incantations or by taking nauseating doses to drive them out. The people were poor and ignorant, especially were they ignorant of the laAv and the knowledge associated with it so valued by the Pharisees. The attitude of Jesus toward the Pharisees appealed to the common people. II. A. Christy was in the city yesterday visiting friends.
