RELIGIOUS REVIEW
and CHURCH HEWS
The International Sunday School Lesson for today Is "Prepara
tion lor the Messiah." Malachi 3:1-12. The Golden Text Is,
"I will send my messenger, and lie shall prepare the way be
fore me." Mai. 3:1.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Christmas is but a few days distant.1
The occasion is opportune for taking- a
broad view of events leading up to this
approaching celebration. The last of
the Hebrew prophets looked forward
more yearningly than any one looks
today, across a. stretch of four hundred
years, with the vision of eager faith,
to the coming- of the King- whose birth
day made Christmas. Malachi outlined
fearlessly the preparation required for
the Messiah's advent. j
Strange thoug-h it may appear, -what
those ancient Jews of Nehemlah's day
lacked to fit them for the presence of
the King is not very different from
what the progressive people of a new
world in this twentieth century need to
made them ready for the full reign of
the Christmas spirit. This prophecy
the swan song of the last of the long
line of Hebrew seers is pointed with
truth for these times.
. Russia's Preparation.
The Prince of Peace often comes
along the path of war. By thia famil
iar, b'.oody route it appears as if the
grentle Son of Mary is coming to His
own in the present day. For the sound
of Christmas bells is almost drowned
by the shrieks of the wounded, the roar
of the bomb, and the rattle of the rifle
storm in the great empire of Russia.
To the most superficial observer it is
apparent that the terrible sufferings of
Kussia are but the birth throes of a
new national life of liberty and justice.
Similarly, from China CQme ominous
rumors, and an occasional quick, dead
ly and unexpected blow at civilization
from a people brooding over a sense of
wrongs suffered. Korea is today some
thing else than "the land of the morn
ing calm," while Macedonia and other
parts of Turkey resound with echoes
of the endless strife between oppres
sion and ignorance versus liberty and
light. "Behold, He cometh," says the
lesson and the daily newspaper uncon
sciously echoes the cry. In the words
of the hymn
"Each breeze that sweeps the ocean,
Brings tidings from afar,
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war."
Making Straight the Crooked.
Persistently and pointedly the old
prophet asks, "But who can abide the
day of His coming?" Ah, there's the
rub! Who really wants the spirit of
Christmas fully to come? Boea Wall
street? Does Washington or Ottawa
or the other lesser capitals where poli
ticians traffic? Does the business nian,
who keeps his religion and his business
in separate compartments of his life?
Does the man or woman whose out
ward respectability cloaks inward cor
ruption? Verily, "Who shall stand
when he appeareth?"
Much of our hazy desire for good
ness might vanish were we to stand
face to face wiih the first consequences
of Christ's coming. Do we really want
the world to get right? Are we willing
to lPt God have His way, even though
that way would make sad havoc" with
dear customs, favorite indulgences, and
long-intrenched wrongs? The coming
. of the Messiah is with justice and judg
ment. "He is like a refiner's fire and
like fuller's soap: and He will sit as a
refiner and purifier of silver."
This is exactly what the Christ has
been doing. This old world is a more
heavenly place today because the long
expected Messiah has trodden its hills
and cities, and still rules in thousands
of humble hearts. Wherever He goes
life is refined and purified and made
more precious; while immorality, op
pression, ignorance and injustice are
driven to cover,
t
Changeless Justice.
This is the day of the "square deal."
The ethical sense of people is more
keen than for generations past. The
practical bearing of the loftv truths of
Christianity upon the every-day duties
of life was never more earnestly em
phasized. Such controversy as that
over "tainted money" takes hold of
the popular mind. What means this
but an increase of the spirit of the
Kazarine among men?
The latest and keenest editorial that
has appeared in any American newspa
per upon the subject of current politi
cal, commercial or social exposures is
not more to the point, more incisive or
more relentless, than these words
penned by Malachi twenty-four hun
dred years ago. Note the applicability
of this:
"And I will come near to vou to
judgment, and I will be a swift wit
ness against the sorcerers, and against
the adulterers, and against the false
swearers, and asr.iinst those that or-pr'-s.a
the hireling in his wise? the
widow, .inri the f ithetie's, mo that
turn aside the sojourner from his right.

ness and echoes of peace. There is no
happiness for the man who ic at odds
with his Maker. The whole universe
is out of joint for those who are not in
harmony -with its Creator and King.
Nobody gets the most out of Christmas
who has not been reconciled to the
Father through the Son.
The Way Back.
Xll that Malachi said was addressed
to a nation that had wandered from
its plain duty to Jehovah. "From the
days of your fathers you have turned
aside from mine ordinances, and have
not kept them." Even a people, s
well as an individual, may offend God.
The practical question vital to every
one, at one time or another at once
arises. What about the nation or man
that has gone astray? Is there a way
back to safety and happiness for him?
The answer is clear cut and unmistak
able, and fraught with wondrous teach
ings concerning the long-suffering fath
erhood of God. "Return unto me, and
I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of
hosts." God's part is sure; there is a
light in the window of the Father's
house for every prodigal. Only man's
unwillingness or perversity bars the
door to heaven.
These old Hebrews had failed to
make the offerings to the tempje which
the law required. And this was but a
symbol of their spiritual attitude to
ward the Lord of the temple. They
were not just to Jehovah, they denied
him his due. And life .that fails to
receive a blessing has first failed to be
fair with the Lord. Man's withholding
always precedes God's. It is the
omitted duty that chokes the channels
of divine favor.
So, in a familiar passage, Malachi
cries out, "Brinff ye the whole tithe
into the storehouse, and prove me now
herewith, saith Jehovah of hosts, if I
will not open the windows of heaven,
and pour you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to receive Jt.
On Good Terms With Highest Powers.
That is a way a revival comes. Be
just with Jehovah and He will be gen
erous with you. A true, clean church
never lacks for a revival. The most
serious fact, from the Christian stand
point, about the recent financial and
political scandals that have shocked
the world is that so many of the men
concerned are active members of the
church. These leaders of religious
work for years abetted, profited, or at
least winked at practices both illegal
and immoral. How could any church
so encumbered expect a blessing from
on high? Before some congregations
can expect to get in many new mem
bers they must get rid of certain of the
old. The failure of the church to dis
cipline offending members may ac
count for the way the world is disci
plining the church.
The prophet is explicit. When God's
people return to Him, and acknowledge
His sovereignty by their lives and gifts,
as well as by their lips, he will do bet
ter for them than they can dream or
desire. Prosperity, he says, waits on
righteousness. "Happy is the nation
whose God is Jehovah." The Lord
yearns for the welfare of His own. He
always dees the best by them that they
will let Him do. And if He must sit as
a refiner, it is only that they may be
made pure. All the bitter breaking
up of the old order is but that the
highway of the Messiah may be pre
pared. DIVISIONS IN' UNITY.
Terse comments on the T'niform Prayer
Meeting Topic of the Young Peoples'
Societies: Christian Endeavor, Epworth
League. Baptist Union, etc., for Decem
ber 17: "What Our Denomination Stands
For" 1 Tim. 3:14-16; 1 Peter 2:9.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.
Essentially, the Christian denomina
tions are one chui;ch. Despite their
diversity, they possess a substantial
unity. They manifest today, as prob
ably never before since the apostolic
age, the spirit of the old saying, "In
essentials, unity; in non-essentials, lib
erty; in all things, charity." The de
nominationalism of this year of our
Lord 1905, is not a sectarian, narrow,
or bigoted thing; there is not one of
the divisions of Protestantism that
would not gladly efface itself, surren
dering its name and organization, if
thereby the prosperity of the Kingdom
of Heaven and the glory of Jesus
Christ could be promoted.
There are many denominations, but
they all together make one church.
For a soldier to love his regiment
more than the army or the flag or the
cause would be quite analogous to a
Christian's loving his own denomina
tions above the church of which it is a
part.

many clergymen have declared to be
tne most important event in the re
ligious world since the Pveformation. It
was called the Inter-Church Confer
ence on Federation. Thirty denomina
tions were officially represented.
throughout the week's sessions the
very foremost men in American Chris
tian work discussed the subject of a
United Church. They all were loyal
to their own denominations, with a
sane and sagacious recognition of pres
ent conditions; but with a unanimity
that was little less than sublime, they
eagerly coveted a union for service of
all churches. Not a man of the scores
upon.the-platform put his own church
above other churches, or above Christ's
church. The practical outcome of the
meetings was the organization of a per
manent federation, in which all the
evangelical Protestant churches of
America will unite for the promotion of
morality, good works and pure religion.
This means that a new force has en
tered the life of America. It foretells
a day not far distant when the Chris
tian forces of the land will be able to
speak as one upon every vital issue;
and when the propagation of the gos
pel will be the first and main business
of organized, single-eyed Christendom.
m m m
Every denomination accents some
one big word in the vocabulary of re
ligion. Thfs big world holds many kinds of
people. Each denomination has suited
the special tastes of some of these.
Pending the desirable day when the
Master's prayer "that they all may be
one" is fulfilled, we may recognize the
diversity of appeal that Christianity
makes through the varieties of forms
and methods In the diversified branches
of the church universal.
V
While rivalry and competition are
utterly out of place between Christian
churches, yet there is such a thing as
provoking one another to love and good
works. The Eil of the Methodists has
been a spur to the Presbyterians, while
the dignity and intellectuality of the
latter have had a wholesome effect upon
the former; and both have been helped
by the Bpirit of independence in the
Congregational and Baptist churches.
All have been constrained to greater
reverence and formalism by the Pro
testant Episcopal church and, on the
other hand, the simple Quaker teach
ing of the inner light and of the relig
ion that needs no forms, but is of the
spirit, have leavened all other Christian
bodies. When the day of denomina
tionalism has passed altogether, the
one united church will be so inclusive
and tolerant and so many sided that
it will preserve all the valuable varie
ties of the many churches, that the
needs of every man's spirit may be
met.
NEWS AND NOTES.
A new Jewish society has been form
ed to discourage intermarriage with
Christians. j
President Roosevelt sent a letter to
the centenary of the British and For
eign Bible society last month, congrat
ulating it upon its growth.
So widespread has been the growth
of religious meetings in shops and fac
tories, that a society has been formed
in New York, called the New York
Men's Evangelistic association. Local
chapters are to be organized within the
factories. .
In Denmark, when a drunken man
leaves a saloon or a cafe he must be at
once put into a cab and driven home,
and the cabman's bill must be paid
by the liquor dealer from whose estab
lishment the man comes.
The Vatican is now compiling a
"Blue Book" in this case it is a white
one dealing with the relations of the
Roman Catholic church and the French
government. . This is probably the first
time the church ever issued a volume
upon a diplomatic subject.
The federation of the societies that
exist in twenty-five states of the United
States, for earing for homeless children,
reports that there are forty thousand
applicants yearly for adoption, but the
supply in the asylums is only equal to
about one-fourth of this demand.
The insurance question has entered
religious circles in a practical fashion.
The Presbyterians are considering the
question of forming some plan of in
surance for their members. They al
ready have a ministerial insurance
fund. In New Jersey several denomi
nations are combining to organize a
fire insurance society for the insurance
of church property. The Methodists
already have sueh an, organization.
Upon his recent retirement from the
pastorate of the Sefton Park Presby
terian church, Liverpool, Rev. Dr.
John Watson, who is better known by
his pen name of Ian Ma-claren, de
clared, "If I were beginning, instead of
closing my career, I would be careful
about three things in particular I
would preach shorter sermons; I
Fhculd be more attentive to my Eng
lish; and I shouid preach more com
fortingly." The bishops of the Methodist Epis
copal church. North, have declined to
ratify the appointment of Professor
Hinckley Mitchell to the chair of Old

It appears to be the concensus of
advices from China that the murder
of five Presbyterian missionaries at
Lien Chau is due to the growth of anti
American sentiment. It is from this pro
vince of Canton that most of the Chi
nese come to America, and to it have
gone back most stories concerning the
hardships endured by Chinese who
have emigrated. Missionary authorities
state that missionaries or ail nationali
ties in China are being obliged to
share the hostile feeling that is meant
primarily for the Americans.

MRS. C. F. MENNINGER.
RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Gleaned from Teachings
of All Denominations.
The power in a word, its unforgotten
element, consists simply in the force of
the life behind it. Rev. Frank Crane,
Unitarian, Worcester, Mass.
TRUE CHRISTIANITY.
True Christianity Is not developed sim
ply by bending the knee in prayer, but
in laboring in God's vineyard. Rev. Dr.
Frank De . Witt Talmage, Presbyterian,
Los Angeles, Cal.
PRESENCE OF GOD.
God is everywhere present, but only
he who has ears for him hears his gen
tle voice, and only he who has eyes for
him sees his gracious presence. Rev. J.
C. Horning, Reformed, St. Louis.
GOD'S ESTIMATE.
Nothing is lost with God. The noble
aspirations for the better life and the
wish to do something for others, though
circumstances may thwart its accom
plishment, still have its merit in God's
estimate. Rev. J. E. White, Disciple, At
lanta. MONEY.
Money is a good thing, and no man
has a right to object to it, provided it is
obtained upon right principles and ex
pended in proper ways. Money is depend
ent for its power on the manner in which
you use it. Rev. L. G. Broughton, Bap
tist, Atlanta.
SPIRITUALITY AND CIRCUMSTANCES
The social and financial condition has
little or nothing to do with one's spir
ituality except as he is influenced by it.
But in the sight of God we are not saved
or lout bv our circumstances, but by our
faith or lack of It. Rev. C. I.. Palmer,
German Reformed, Kingston, N. Y.
GREAT SOULS.
A great soul is known by its enlarged
sympathies. True elevation of mind does
not take a being out of the circle of those
less gifted, but binds him faster to them
and gives them advantages for closer at
tachment and conformity to him. Rev. T.
Gibbon Smyth, Roman Catholic, Washing
ton, MEANING OF CHARITY.
Charity means to give not merely a
kind word, but perhaps a severe word.
Charity. means to give not merely a lib
era! dole, but sometimes to withhold the
dole. It means for us to give ourselves
in all spheres, social, industrial, commer
cial, political, as in the philanthropic
s"here. Rev. J. J. Wijkins, Episcopalian,
Los Angeles. Cal.
MODERN IDEA OF GOD.
The old stern notions of God are gone
even from our Calvinistic churches. Our
own Presbyterian church has lately been
forced by the times to put love into the
Westminster confession, from which it
had for centuries been absent. Men can
never turn away from a God whom they
call love, and with sueh sentiments
abroad the church has ten times the op
portunity to win them that it had back
in the days when the wrath of God was
men's chief thought of th Deity. Rev,
John Balcoro Shaw, Presbyterian, Chi
cago, THE HIDDEN VIRTUES.
There are good qualities which could
not at once be brought into the public
gaze without spoiling their comeliness
and defeating their purpose. Do you
not know that the finest quality of self
denial is never seen nor suspected? Its
sweet secret is buried at last with the
person who practices it for the sake of
those whom he loves. The ideal home
is found where- the husband denies him
self for the sake of his wife and the
wife for the sake of the husband, while
both conceal their self-denial so skillfully
that neither suspects it in the other.
Rev. T. P. Frost, Congregationalist,
Evanston, 111.
VALUE OF CHRISTIAN TESTIMONY.
No life or message is so - attractive as
v.
fe IjOI
v n-
that of those who speak with .divine
authority and are consumed with di
vine passion. When they speak all hu
man distinctions are forgotten and a
shepherd becomi the teacher of kings.
In every church and community the
spiritual leadership of such men and
women is at once recognized, irrespec
tive of wealth or social position. The
home of Evan Roberts, the humble
Welsh collier, has become the shrine
at which the spiritual forces of Chris
tendom are seeking inspiration. The
men and women of irrepressible testi
mony are the true oracles of God, and
through their messages nations are born
in a day. Rev. Dr. Williamson, Baptist,
St. Louis.
FAITH IN THE HUMAN HEART.
The faith that you have is the mea
sure of the greatness of the blessings
that you may receive at God's hands.
If I had some kind of magical spectacles
this morning and could put them on and
walk down out of this pulpit and read
the hearts of these men and women be
fore me, if I could read Just how much
worry and anxiety and fretfulness and
unrest there are in these hearts, I could
tell just exactly and infallibly how much
faith you have in God, because when
faith comes into the hearts these things
always go out. They don't get along to
gether at all. I notice that some of our
confident modern philosophers are pre
dicting that the day is not far distant
when we are going to pick up our morn
ing papers and be able to decide just
what the trials and temptations of that
dav In all probability are going to be, be
cause, they tell us. certain atmospheric
conditions have a definite influence upon
moral dispositions, ande we are going to
read there just about what is going to be
the probable behavior of men in general
and the trials of ourselves in particular.
But environment, atmospheric conditions
and all similar things may be factors in
the irritability and the fretfulness of the
natural heart, but this Bible says perfect
peace shall abide in the heart that is
stayed upon the Lord. Rev. Dr. C. M.
Hawkins, Methodist, St. Louis.
