THE PULPIT.
jttfELOQUENT SUNDAY SERMON BY
THE ' REV. W. M. BRUNDACE.
Subject: True Mission of tlie Church.
Brooklyn, N. Y. For the first sermon
f his pastorate of the Unity Unitar
ian Church, the Rev. ,W. M. Brundage
took for his subject Sunday morning
jThe True Mission of the Church.".
The text was from I. Timothy iii:
13: "The church of the living God,"
In the course of a strong sermon, list-
-iretrfo by"a large audience, he said:
From the nditions which prevailed
a few centuries ago, when the church
was without a rival to contest its au
,thority, to its present condition; when
it must contend with numerous com
petitors for the very right to exist,
humanity has taken a long stride for
ward. Pre edo m has come to be more
than a mere name. Multitudes bf peo
ple have seriously begun to think and
" act for themselves. Less, and less is
the church able to live upon its record
Jn-ibe past: more and more has it be
come manifest that it must justify its
continued existence by the work that
it does, by the service that it renders
to society. Unless our churches of
every name can be brought into vital
and helpful relations to the real life
of the people, they are doomed to per
ish. Tbetrad3tions of the past cannot
save them. Their service in the past,
great though it has been, cannot jus
tify itteeiT present existence. Do they
minister in an essential manner to the
best Wfeot to-day? An affirmative an
swer 4 this question constitutes their"
" onlyjistifiea4ion. Brotherhoods, clubs,
philanthropic associations without
number -axe competing with them; li
braries, newspapers and periodicals,
and educational institutions are doing
much, 'of the work which they once
did, wort that was formerly left ex
clusivelylfothem. We find nothing in
theorigin the church that , entitles
it to 'claim a divine right to persist.
If it persists it will be because it does
a better work for society than auy
other institution can do.
What is this work that the churches
are qualified to perform better than
other institutions? Can they feed- the
hungry, clothe the naked, visit and
comfort the sick and sorrowing, care
for those who are in prison, minister
to the orphan and the outcast, in fine,
engage in all sorts of strictly pbilan
tiiropiccllvity better than multi-
, tudes of existing benevolent institu
tions? Certainly the churches will
continue to do such work as this, be
cause they are organizations of those
who love and serve their fellowmen.
But clearer and clearer does it become
manifest that other institutions can do
most kinds of philanthropic work as well
as, if not better than, the churches.
On the whole, i the great fraterni
ties everywhere! established in our
times can do It better. The organized
charities of our cities, the prison re
form associations, the humane socie
ties and others can do it better, mare
economically, more effectively.
Can the churches, however, continue
to maintain themselves as centres for
the propagation of great dogmatic sys
tems, or, on the other hand, .as centres
of mere protest against the 'dogmatic
systems of the past? I do not believe
that. they can. The forum for the dis
cussion of such systems is being xap
idly shifted from the pulpit to the
press. The great magazines -and Te
views and religious newspapers of -our
time afford a more favorable field for
their discussion, while the masses of
the people care less and less for them.
Incidentally the churches will continue
to-urge upon their people what they
believe to be a true philosophy of God,
of the universe and of man, but this
jvork alone cannot justify thejr -con
tinued existence.
Neither as purely-sacramentatian in
stitutions can the churches long retain
their hold upon, any large number of
the copier- because with the growth
and extension of new knowledge the
efciims of sacramentarianism are rap
idly, becoming discredited. What j
called "the high church reaction" -so
widely known is after all out a. reae
"Jfen and cannot be permanent in its
influence. It is but a return to the
;childhood of religion, and. the thinking
: world demands the religion of a. man.
-.Can the churches, however, continue
to maintain themselves as social clubs,
as organizations of congenial people
who come together to enjoy one .an
other's companionship?
But when there are so many social
-clubs in every community, membership
in which can be restricted (to people
of congenial tastes and kindred pur
suits as membership in even the saost
Exclusive Church cannot bel 3 "net
Relieve that the churches can long
Justify their existence as the mere com
petitors of these clubs.
JIas the -church then outlived its use
fulness and lis it about to pass away?
Certainly amt, if it arouses itself ana,
becoming -eonscious-of its true mission,
resolutely devotes itself J" its dis-
Tractive woru. xnis, x ueueve, us wmi

the churches 'cantio better than any
.other institution they can and do, in
multitudes of instances, act as great
inspirational icentr.s ministering to the
life of the rspirit, to the life of the
idea to the IMe of God in the soul of
man. They eome into vital and helpful
relations witm ttne people a just so
as xibey inspire to high thinking and
feeling and loving, in just so far as
- thej inspire and (quicken the religious
Hfe.of the. community.
Let the churelres., therefore. cear3
regarding themselves as authoritative
ecclesiastical institutions, authorita
tive saeramentarian or dogmatic in
stitutions, and become free democratic
. religious societies for the propagation
cf pure and undeflled reiigion, for in
spiration to high and worthy ideals,
for actually helping men "to do justly
and love mercy, and to walk humbly
With their Jod." The churches that
are most truly and nrofoimdlv religious
forces will best justify their existence
in the twentieth century.
" To foster and develop the distinct
ively religious Jife of humanity, this
is the true mission of the churches.
They must be light-givers and life
givers. They must be spiritually
alive in order that they may impart
- Jife, for life is what most counts. The
utward activities of . the churches
must be the natural expression of what
they are.
The methods for the expression of
this religious Mfe will be varied be
cause the dispositions of men vary.
Ellis or that particular form of activ
ity is unessential. A longer or. a
shorter ritual of worship is Unessential,
provided the light and power of relig
ion are present. Faith, worship, as
piration, loving human service, these
are the essential elements in religion
and the forms in which they embody
themselves will be vital.
The living, inspirational church that
is saving men from worldliness and.
practical materialism, that Is helping
them to see the unseen and eternal,
that Is helping them to worship In the
noblest sense of that word that is, to
attribute supreme worth to the lofty
Ideals of justice, truth, love, which are
oniy anotner name for God, to love
and revere these ideals, and to devote
themselves with perfect consecration
to their realization in human society
such a church is fulfilling its true mis-'
sidn, by whatever name that church
may be called, and is in no danger of
being discredited in our modern life. -
In such a church there will be no
distinction between classes, between
the rich and the poor, no lingering caste
spirit, no recognition of a difference of
rank and dignity between ministers
and pepple; in the conscious presence
of the All Father there will be perfect
equality between the worshipers.
in sucn a church there will be no
spirit of solemn gloom miscalled rev
erent awe, an inheritance from a prim
itive religion of fear, but a spirit of
radiant hope, of abounding joy, of
genuine human sympathy, the spirit
of a larger home.
The themes of the pulpit of such a
church will be closely related to the
actual needs, of the people, selected
from every quarter, but selected solely
that their consideration may minister
most effectively to personal and so
cial righteous character.
MembershiD in such a church will
be unrestricted, free to all who share
a common spirit and are seriously
working toward a common ideal end.
In such a church there will be no
jealcss rivalries between the members.
but in place of these a generous spirit
of emulation to serve one another and
the common cause. As I said before.
the practical activities of such an in
spirational, church will not be artificial
and forced they will be the perfectly
natural -expression of the vigorous
Teligious life of minister and people.
Tn Wiser Hands.
A lady, who had been three or four
years away from her childhood's home
and settled in one of her own, was
taken seriously ill. Her mother, with
all a mother's solicitude,, was anxious
t& be with her daughter at once, and
fastened to her bedside. She found
skilful physicans in attendance and a
trained nurse in charge; - there was
really nothing for her to do nothing
that -she could be permitted to do.
Day after day she made brief, silent
visits to the sick room (even her pres
ence could not be allowed long) and
-went away powerless to aid. The
ministering was in wiser, more efficient
hands than hers, and she could not be
trusted with it would not have dared
to trust herself with it.
""But it seems strange," she said,
sadly, one day. "that even I, her
mother, can only stand aside and do
nothing. There never before wasn't a
time when 'mother' wasn't the one to
help and comfort; it seems as if it
ought to be so still, and yet I would
be afraid to do anything but keep
hands off and trust to a knowledge
and strength that is greater than my
own."
It is the same in many a spiritual
crisis through which we see our dear
ones pass. We long to lift the burden,
to lighten the trials, to bestow the
covered gift; but' the Great Physician
holds the precious soul in His hands,
the hands that will make no mistake,
and we can only stand aside and trust
Him. Forward.
The Thing: "Worth While.
3 know that many of you are puzzled
to know in what direction you can
start to help Christ to help the world.
Let me say this to you in that connec
tion: . ,
Once I came to a crossroad in the
old life and did not know in which
direction God wanted men to help
hasten His kingdom. I started to read
the Book to find out what the ideal life
was, and I found that the only thing
worth doing in the world was to do
the -will of, God; bether that was
done in the pulpit or in the slums;
whether it was done in the college
or .class room, or on the street, did not
matter at all. "My meat and drink,"
Christ said, "is to do the will of Him
that ent Me," and if you make up
your mind that you are going to do
the will of God above everything else.
It matters little in what direction you
twork.
There are more posts waiting for men
than there are imen waiting for posts.
Christ needs men in every community
and in evety land; it matters little
whether we go to foreign lands ox
stay .at home., as long as we are sure
we are where God puts us. Henry
Drnnimond.
"The tovin&jok."
Some years ago we witnessed a pub
lie examination of a class of little girls
at the end of the school term. The
distractions of much dressing and
much company bperated pretty severe
ly m the fickle memories of the chil
dren, One little friend lost herself in
confusion and stammered to a dead
stop in her recitation. Just then hei
mother moved from out the erowd and
took a ,eat in full view bf the little
one.
The loving look of that silent face
brought order out of confusion. Mind
and tongue immediately resumed theii
functions, everything was lost sight ol
and the lessons all came back in per
fect order. The examination was fin
ished in triomph.
Many a time since then as we ,have
seen some struggling, heart confused
by the world's noise and temptation
we have felt like bidding it look up
into the familiar face of the Heavenly
Father and be reassured that all is
well. Not only is there life in a loofc
at the beginning, but there is assur
ance and confidence all .along the way.
l'rayed For Six Years.
At a revival meeting in Wales a man
spoke from the gallery: "I have been
praying for six years for the salvation
of thirty of my mates at the colliery,
and I have kept a list of them that I
might not forget them before God. I
am glad to be able now to say that
twelve of them have been converted."
What will it mean if every Christian
will follow the same plan in 1905?

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COMMENTS
FOR MARCH 12.
Subject: The Slavery of Sis, John tIH.,
31-40 Golden Text, John HI., 34
Memory Tenet, 31, 33-.Coinuientary
on the Day'a Lesson.
I. The test and blessings of discipleship
(vs. 31, 32). 31. "Then said Jesus. Bet
ter, as K. V., "Jesus therefore said?' be
cause many had believed oh Him after His
declaration that He was the Light of the
world, and after 'His answers to the Phari
sees, and now Je&us directed His remarks
to these new disciples. " Which believed."
The term "believed" applies here to the
disposition, openly expressed, to acknowl
edge Jesus as the Messiah. "If ye abide"
(R. V.) Not a fitful, intermittent rela
tion, but thorough, intense and continuous.
"In My word." If ye obey My command
ments and follow My teachings carefully.
Our spirits must drink in Christ's words
as our bodies inhale the atmosphere. No
man is worth listening to on questions of
faith and doctrine who is not himself a
reverent listener to Christ. Abiding in
God's word must become the permanent
condition of our life. "Disciples." A dis
ciple is a learner; one who accepts and fol
lows another as teacher and master. True
disciples are real representatives of Christ,
who live a holy life before the world.
32. "Shall know the truth." Shall know
it doctrinaUy, spiritually, experimentally,
not as a mere theory, but us a living pow
er; shall know the reality of things, and
shall know Christ Himself, the embodi
ment of truth (John 14:1). The rulers had
spoken of knowing the lawf Jesus speaks
of knowing the truth. This is a species
of learning infinitely transcending all the
guesses of doubting scientists and sneering
philosophers. "Make you free." Intelli
gence is not sufficient. A learned man is
still a wicked man under the bondage of
sin unless, he has been maae free. Knowl
edge appears as the fruit of faith, and free
dom as the fruit of knowledge. Christ as
sociates liberty always with the truth,
which He is Himself, and so presents the
truth as the cause of liberty as the effect.
II. Freedom offered from the slavery of
sin (vs. 33:36). 33. "They answered."
Many commentators refer this "they," not
to the many who believed (v. 30), but to
the other Jews who had not believed. The
little episode of verses 30-32 is thus held as
a pleasant parenthesis, and the believers
are all allowed to be genuine and perhaps
,perrrfanent. The words cannot be spoken
of the simple people who had already be
lieved, but to the carping, caviling Phari
sees. "Abraham's seed." Thev had Abra
ham's blood in their veins, but not his
faith in their hearts. "Never in bondage."
This answer was not more true than the
language of pride ordinarily. Politically,
the seed of Abraham had been in bondage
to Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome.
Spiritually, they had been in bondage to
idolatries in past times, were now to the
rabbis, who were literalists m interpreta
tion, and without spirituality or svmoathv
(Matt. 23:4). "How sayest Thou." Upon
what possible principle dost Thou promise
to us that which we already are proud of
possessing, viz., glorious liberty? We al
ready possess as our birthright what Thou
art offering to us as the full result of dis
cioleshio. f34. "Verily, verily." A solemn declara
tion enforced by these words. "Whoso
ever committeth sin." In these words
Jesus utterly expels the political question
from His scope. He states $tst the princi
ple and then the apolication. He spoke of
a more degrading bondage aand a higher
freedom than they imagined He whose
tendency and habit is to conjmit sin. He
who makes choice of sin; prefers the way
of wickedness before the wavvQjjUhoIiness;
who makes a covenant with sin, enters into
learue; who makes custom of sin; who
walks after the flesh and mikes a trade of
sin. "Is the servant of sin." Is the slave.
the bond-servant of sin. He does the work
of sin, support its interests and accepts
its waa;es. He cannot dismiss sin at pleas
ure; the moment he attempts if he finds
the chains drawn tighter. Dream not of
freedom while under the mastery of your
desireS.
Temperance instruction ma.y be" brought
in at this point. No bondage is greater
than the bondage to strong drink. Ssni
tude is repulsive to all men. In our land
of freedom men demand their rights in
business, yet there are hundreds of men
and boys and sometimes women who put
themselves under the bondage of the drink
habit.
35. "The servant abideth not." The
reierence may be to Hagar and Ishmael
and Isaac the bond and the free. They
had spoken of themselves as the seed of
Abraham. Jesus shows them that there
may be of that seed two kinds: the son,
properly 'so cail, and the slave. These
Jews might be the seed of Abraham, anclJ
yet, not oamg his spiritual cnndren, mignt
not abide in his household of faith. Not
many years siter this their capital and na
tion were destroyed, and the Gentiles took
their place in the kingdom of Cod. Think
not to be made free from sin bv the rites
and ceremoniei cf the law of Moses, for
Moses was butra servant and had not that
parental authority in the -church Yvhich the'
feon had. "lhe fcon abideth'' Ql. V .) Ine
comparison here is between any son and a
bond servant, land sun should not begin
with a canitai. Sinners are slaves, Chris
tians are sons and heirs. 36". "If the Son."
Christ now refers to Himself. The Son of
God alone ' has power to liberate those who
are slaves to sin. Jesus Christ is the head
and has full authority and ability. The
Father hath civen al things Into His hand
(John 17:2). -Pree indeed." The Jews
boasted of an imaginary freedom, but the
liberty which Christ offered was real and
lasting in its effects. It wouldnave saved
the nation from tha "bandage of captivitv
to Babylon centuries before; k would
save them from bbndace to the Romans.
"What freedom they had trader the Romana
was due to what they had learned and
practiced of the word. Jesus knew that
deliverance from the Roman yoke was the
great wort expected from the Messiah
He therefore spiritualized this hoDe.
III. Jesus shows the character of tbo
wicked Jews (vs. 37-40). 37. "Abraham's
seed." Christ ad-mils thpir lnim' fliaf fhv
are ' the "natural descendants of Abraham, '
.out uemes mat mey are nis cnilaren (v.
39) in the highest and best sense. "Seek
to kill.-" That they desired the death of
Abraham's truest Son is proof that they
kre'not true sons of Abraham. Their mur
derous intent proves that they are children
of the devil (y. 44) instead of Abraham.
"No place in you." You do not allow My
word to 'enter! your hearts and lives. 33.
"I speak," etci The Son existed with the
Father during past eternity and He reports
the things fie had seen. "Ye do," etc.
Their father was Satan (v. 44), and they
were instructed " and led by him. 39, 40.
The argument here is that they were not
true "children of Abraham because they
were not like Abraham in character and
actions. Abraham's life was wholly unlike
their.- !
