People are more interested in churchan- ity than they are in Christianity or the rightcousness of Jesus Christ. The great question ever should be what does Jesus require of us? \Vhat shall befor the ad- vancement of His church on the earth? But the question very frequently is, what does our church need? W hat does our church require? What shall our church say about this and that? It is not what the church says, but what does Jesus say? IVhut is His will in the matter? These questions should settle every other question. If so, we shall surely be guided aright. The church of the twentieth century must be a clean church. It is a place for for sinners, not in their sins, but cleansed from their sins by the Lord Jesus Christ. There must be an insistance for purity of heart and life, no whited sepulchres, while inwardly they arefull of all unclean ness, buta church that is asa city set “S” be devoted to the 'muse ° tem' light into the darkness round about that erance, for no drunkard shall inherit men may see by her me that she hasfbeeu he kingdom of Heaven.
