Close Description of a Practiced
Idea of tie Day.
IN THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH
A Development of the Practical
Activities. of Christian Leaders
'Sphere of the Church "
(Literary Digest.)
One of the most notable develop-.
nients in the organic life and practical (
activities of the Christian church at j
the present day is what has come to be !
known, for want of a better nam-e, as j
the Institutional Church. The title is;
nnniipfi m those churches that nave
made themselves the center of a. clus
ter of auxiliary or dependent societies
and agencies engaged in charitable,
philanthropic, and educational work.
They may be found in almost all Pro
testant denominations, and in some
others. Among the more prominent
churches belonging to this distinctive
class are Berkeley Temple, Boston; St.
Bartholomew's Episcopal and Madison
Avenue Presbyterian churches, Isew
York; the People's Tabernacle, Jersey
City; and the Temple, Philadelphia.!
There are enough of them altogether
to form a national organization known
as the Open Church League, a body
which holds its annual convention at
Worcester, Mass., during the present
month. Some idea of the scope and
variety of the work carried on by one
of these institutional churches may be
gathered from a list of auxiliary socie
ties connected with one of them in New
York City, as given in the Charities'
Directory for 189S. He? we have a
charitable bureau, an employment bu
reau, ,a kindergarten, a sewing-school,
a penny provident fund, clubs or girls,
boys, and men, each provided with a
gymnasium, reading-room, and baths;
a free dispensary, a medical and surg
ical clinic, and provision for mothers'
meetings, and special services for Ar
menians, Chinese and Swedes. The
descriptive list alone of the societies
in one of these churches occupies more
than two full pages in the Charities'
Directory. The greater part of them
are in operation every day all the year
around. One or more separate build
ings have been erected and fitted up ex
pressly for their use, and several paid
superintendents and managers are em
ployed. The religious public is not altogeth
er agreed as to the wisdom and pro
priety of conducting churches on this
basis, and they have been severely
criticized in some quarters. It is not
the business of a church, it is said, to
teach people housekeeping, to run
banks and employment bureaus, nor to
afford means of recreation and amuse
ment. The churches that do these
things, it is contended, are departing
from their proper sphere of action, and
weakening their influence as centers
of spiritual light and religious teach
ing. The New York Evening Post re
verts to some of these points in an ed
itorial on "Institutional Christianity."
After giving a paragraph summing up
the institutional .work of Berkeley
Temple, Boston, and some other
churches, the Evening Post says:
"Every city in the land has its tab
ernacle, or temple, or People's church,
or plain, every-day Trinity church, or
First Presbyterian, which are immense
business establishments. The church
buildings have lost their old awfulness
and shut-up seclusion, and swarm every
day in the week with busy teachers and
organizers and entertainers and man
agers. A divine of the austerer type of
Puritan days would be as much at a
loss in one of those modern hives of
industry that are known as institution
al churches as he would be in Vanity
Fair itself.
"Good or bad, the sweeping change
we speak of has come. Wise and good
men differ on the question whether it
is on the whole a desirable change or
not. We think it is. The actual hu
man good done by a church that thus
holds itself steadily in contact with
actual human need must be much
greater than that within the reach of
one living in the old sacred aloofness.
The motives leading to the change of
attitude may be mixed; there may
have been in it a feeling that 'some
thing must be done' to attract people
to church; people who have yielded to
the new attractions may often be lovers
of amusement rather than lovers of
godliness. That does not greatly mat
ter. If the net result is a benefit, both
to the community and the church, we
need inquire no further. But the trans
formed church certainly has had, and
will yet have more strikingly, a pro
found influence upon the habits and
mental attitude of those within her
pale especially the clergy, and upon
some aspects of it we wish to remark.
"It has brought to prominence the
business type of clergyman. He has al
ways existed, here and there, in a more
or less developed form, but the Institu
tional Church has made him indispen
sable. The superintendent of a factory,
or the manager of a department store,
can have hardly severer demands made
upon his executive ability than has the
head of a modern church with all its
multiplied philanthropic activities. He
must be able to thread his way through
a maze of affairs, and keep each clear.
His tact and energy are constantly ap
pealed to, and the planning of his
week's campaign is like the marshaling
of an army corps. We have all seen
him this modern typical clerical ad
ministrator of an immense ecclesiastic
al business. His alert precision of
manner and impatience of all dawdling
devastators of his day would well be
come the manager of a railway.
"Now, the clerical character can not
THE CROWN PRINCE CONSTANTIN.

stantln. will suceeed him. George I lia3 been rider over Greece for thirty-sir years.

be thrown into this business crucible
and come out unaltered. It must lose
on the reflective side. Speculative the
ology has little chance with a man who
has six committee meetings in the af
ternoon and three night schools to
visit. We need look for no Thomas
Aquinases to be developed in the stir
of the institutional church. Theolog
ical 'giants' will became more excep
tional than ever, if the People's taber
nacles grind on "with their thousand
wheels. Then, too, the distinctive note
of the true preacher will tend to be lost,
we should say, in the rattle of machin
ery. The old bishop who was asked by
a young clergyman how many sermons
a week he ought to be able to preach,
replied, 'One certainly; two, if you
have plenty of time; but any fool can
preach three.' The sermons of a man
whose time throughout the week is
devoured by the complex business of
an Institutional Church are too apt to
be of the kind which any fool can
preach.
"The ultimate remedy, we imagine,
wil' be found in a further specialization
of tne work of the clergy Some must
give tiieir time to 'serving tables'; oth
ers, with the gift for it, must be the
writers, the theologians, the preach
ers.
THE ENGINEERS.
Argument for the Proposed "Person
nel" Act.
"Engineering News" argues in be
half of the Navy Personnel. Bill, and
says: "The successful conduct of our
late war by the naval arm of the ser
vice is largely due to the thorough
training of our naval officers, and their
methods and their success have wrung
praise from unwilling naval authori
ties. 'But the handling of the engines
of the Oregon, in her unprecedented
sea voyage, and the serving of the guns
at Manila and Santiago, were alike the
wprk of engineers, and the results
reached were alike due to mechanical
means; under these conditions there
seems to be no good reason why any
distinction should be made in pay or
position between the officers who did
the one piece of engineering work and
those who did the other. The evolu
tion in naval warfare has made engi
neering knowledge the essential, all
important requisite in the naval officer.
Every warship must now have its prac
tical mechanics, electricians and train
ed assistants of all kinds, and men of
this class now form the bulk of the
crew. But just as the old naval com
mander was a sailor in command of
sailors, it now requires an engineer of
a high degree of training to properly
direct his mechanical assistants and to
handle a ship in which practically ev
ery movement is controlled by intri
cate mechanism."
