St; Paul. in the text which we
Wave chosen this morning. very con.
icisely states Just mt the church is
‘5!“ how she artist work in order to
ӣ45 ellciently for Christ. The Apostle
gapeaksr of the church in terms that
lumen both the inter~adaptation and
Emma. the bringing into unity and
{sympathy all of its parts and mor-
iidlnating them for the best results.
He uses the figure of the human body
and shows that as in the human body
fliers is no fiction but that each part
does the things expected of it so that
all work for the welfare of the whole,
so with the church of God each part
must work with the other to accom-
plish the best possible results, even
no musical notes can only attain
their maximum of expression by ban
monious comninations.
What is true of the whole church
is also true of the parish, and the
individual members because what is
true of the whole church is only true
of her by being true of the members.
St. Paul here describes the man
net of the church's growth. It is
harmonious according to the working
in due measure of each several part.
Growth is not growth when in a
complex organism, it only involves a
1 wt of the whole. Ovcr emphasis
upon one filling, idea or part only in
of contributing to strength
contributes to the weakness of the
church The outward growth of the
church is only attained by the grad
ual increase and growth of all its
parts.
It has been the oblt‘f“ 0f ”‘9
Christ to educate and develop Hi9
people so that the infant church of
the early ages should be the manly
church of the last. This warns us
against an undue veneration of the
past. We may doubtless learn much
from it but wc are greatly in error
if we imagine that all we have to do
is to revive the days lhfll are but.
and we shall be far from the broad
strong spirit of St. Paul if we. timidly
shrink from the new advances and
new demands that make for the in-
creases of the church‘s manhood The
church and the individuals must grow
in knowledge and bravely face the
changing conditions with a strong
faith and sure and certain hope.
The conditions we are called upon
to face today in our own parish are
identiczil rxith those the whole church
is facing urd we can not hope to
mer Ilium successfully by depend-
ing upon what has been accomplish.
ed. “()ld things away,
behold i make all things new." Ap-
plying those words to history prob-
ably ihcrc other was a time wthen
they 'could so truly be applied to any
age as to the present one, especially
as applied to the social order. We

upon her mettle. on the. defensive as
never before, when the problems she
must face. are more pressing in a cer-
Mn sense than at any other age be-
cause of their personal and social
erect.
We are in a time when some men
tell us that the church is getting}
weaker and that it was only needed
in the dhild age of the human race;
that as men come to think and know
more they care less for the church
and that sooner or inter its place
will be entirely filled by mmething
else. It surely is im-ouceivable that
there should ever be a time wthen
men could get on without the church,
{or the church did not come out of
the human mind nor out of like sea
of men's fears but out of the very
heart of God and the blood of Jesus
Christ. And if the church is not all
that it ought. to be the responsibility
rests not upon the church but upon
the individual members.
The church must come to realize,
that is, the members of it that their
mission to the world is not a passive
" one but an active one. She-can only
justify her existence in the world by
what she does for it. We are.begin-
ning to profit by the mistakes of the
past when the church gave herself
up to theological discussions which
instead of helping her with her work
only tangled her in such a way as to
cripple her in the great tasks that
Christ gave her to do. The church
is beginning to come into her own
and to realize that Christ placed her
here to seek she cause of wrong;
why some have plenty and others
little, why some are. slaves and others
free; why some live in squallor and
shacks and others in palaces, and
then when it finds out the cause to
set about armed with the powerful
love of God to reform and transform,
to give all men a chance to breath

Apostle sums it up when he says of
Christ, "He went about doing good.”
church and every Christian must be
that of St. Paul. “One thing i do, I
press forward." For only by press-
ing forward could the crown, the
prize be obtained. It is the business
to carry its work out and among men.
The true place of the church is amid
the maddening whirl of life to stable
inc and control it, and lead the lm.
pulses of men. The church is not to
have nothing to say in the chairs of
the world. it was put into the world
for a definite purpose by the great
Creator of all. Nor is the church to
look upon social work as not being
an intrinsic part of beti missions. Her
mission is to men and their souls and
where they are

worthy of our consideration today
than the church and social work. God
is not to be worshipped only in the

it, it is not the fault of the church
.but her members. if the church is
not meeting the problems of life the
fault lies with her members. If the
church lacks efficiency it is because
of the weakness of her members. To
make the church more effective and
to strengthen her for her work there
are two ways: To increase the mem-
bership and to make the whole mem-
bership efficient.
’ilhe word efficiency about which
we are hearing so much. today might
properly be called the watchword of
the day. The cry of the whole world
is for greater efficiency in every part
of life. it is one of the very best
signs of today. For to strive after
efficiency today means that tomorrow
the church will once again come into
