J. I. Cunnlaggim. paator of the
first tfetnodlBt church of XZli. ,
beth City, and former .presiding el
der of the Durham district, made
the address at the annlversiry of
the Epworth League board at Mem
orial church Thursday evening.
C. B. Cnlbreth, chairman of the
Bpworth Leagu board, presided o
ver the Epworth League annlversl
ty service.
"The Religious Deve!opement of
the Local Congregation" was the
subject of Mr. Cunnlnggim's ad
dress. A subject which he said
would be of interest to every one.
If he spoke speciflcaly of the Ep
worth League then there would be
some he realized who would turn
away with lack of interest. Every
one must be interested in how the
most can be made of the churches
with which they nre connected.
Mr. Cunninggim said that what
ho said of developement wag with
the background of emphasis on e
vangteliam land winning souls to
Jesus Christ.
But, be asserted, the church has
been paying far too little attention
to developement. He gave it as his
belief that seventy-five per cent of
the persona who have been brought
InnTlhe" church "fe doing nothing.
It is a great deal easier to get per
sons to accept Christ, he said, than
It Is to get them to develope to do
any work in the church. For going
up and down the country he was
disheartened at the pitiful ineffl
cency of persons.
"They are not growing, they are
dying right under our eyes by the
hundreds thousands," he said.
"There Is nothing sadder than the
dwarfed life The greatest joy of a
parent is to watch the develope
ment of a chi!d Into a perfect life
and no greater agony than for a
parent to witness a dwarfed, unde
veloped life." It is such a sight he
added, that God is looking down on
lives dwarfed and pitifully unde
veloped. Developement comes In
one way through education and "it
l vastly more important", said Mr.
Cunninggim to educate a child In
religious life than it is In mathe
Mr. Cunninggim suggested the
method that is being followed more
and more in Public education, the
method of self expression as the
best way to bring about develope
ment in local congregations and
the way t) save the persons who
are drifting away from God's king
dom. This he recognized. Is a big
problem, a difficult- problem. This
law of self expression applies to
worship and activities.
And there is where the Epworth
League comes in. The Sunday
school has accomplished great
things in instruction, hut It has
been too largely passive. He express
ed it as his belief that the Sunday
school will have to be reorxanized.
H has become autocratic.
The Epworth League came Into
being to give the young people
something t0 do. "Whatever you
may say of the prnctlhllity of the
Epworth League," said Mr. Cun
I'lnggim, "the Epworth Men has
come stav"
"The church has ot totnke hold
of the problem of amusement or en
tertainment of yoiinK people.'' said
Mr. Cunnlneim. "You've i:ot to ed
ucate through norma! activity ind
the normal activity of ,the child Is
play You've not a great problem to
decide how to develope and educate
these play activities of the child. '
