DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
Rev. C. R. Lowe.
Every little while
thins in the papers
we read some
about the fate
of the church at the close of the war
It seems to be the opinion of many
that the business of the world will
be more or less reorganized at the
war's close to meet the new condi
tions, and that the church will come
in for her share of the reorganiza
tion and be made over to suit the
new conditions arising from the re
turn of ho many soldiers who have a
vision of loyalty and comradeship,
and sacrifice one for another. It
may be so, maybe there ought to be
such a working)ver of the church.
No one can say what all will happen
when war has ended. No one will
say there is no improvement that
would benefit the church and the
world. It is not too early to ask
what is likely to be the effect of the
making over and in what lines the
readjustment is to be found.
We read there must be a new help
fulness one for another. We hope
this may e materially increased.
But the church of Christ has preach
ed this very thing for two thousand
years. "Bear ye one anothers bur
dens." "Lend him your cloak also."
Far be it from us to minimize the
degree of our soldiers' sacrifice for
another, but after all he is just
catching up with the gospel. The"
individuals constituting the church
may need a larger vision of duty and
sacrifice, and we hail the day of its
coming.
Is the change to consist of a great
er righteousness? Of course if right
eousness is not righteous yet as we
have un 'erstood it, it should be made
so. The enurcn as sucu stanus tor
the best In this line the world knows.
"Be ye holy as I am holy." That is
ideal perfection, and nothing else
satisfies.
Will the change consist in admit
ting legalists into fellowship? How
can it do so and still be christian,
they are as far apart as Jew anil
Christian. Is the change to be in
the matter of denominations, in
their organic union? Denomination
alism is one of the most deep seated
things in the christian world. There
are mighty ideas that differentiate
them, and ideas rule the world, they
die mighty hard. Within the Lu
theran church this past year the cel
ebration of the four hundredth an
niversary of the Reformation lias
tended to emphasize the differentia
tion. Can you imagine Lutherans,
Methodists, Baptists, Presbyterians,
making any union with each other?
The other day John Do, jr., suggest
ed the Baptists give up their require
ment of immersion for baptism and
there was an immediate storm. The
denominations may work more in
harmony, a mighty fine thing, but
that is about as far as present con
ditions warrant one hoping. The
church is so far ahead of the people
of God, even, that none have ever
fathomed it and the blessings she
gives to men.
It may be that men will have a
new vision of things, a larger conse
cration to duty, a deeper fear of
God. This will be a fine thing, it
will fill a felt need. When men open
their heart to practice more deeply
the things the church stands for it
will be a great advance in christian
things.
But it will ever be the strife of sin
and holiness the battle between
Chrit and Belial for the rule of the
men's hearts and lives. It is sin and
salvation, this is fundamental.
Methods may change, times may
change, knowledge may change,
organizations may change, but so
long as sin remains, the church will
remain fundamentally the same.
God's wrath against sin abides .and
it doesn't slacken. So long as the
work of the church to save men
from sin remains the same, the
church will not fundamentally change
though all else does for she is found
ed upon the Word of God, and not
one jot or tittle shall pass away till
all be fulfilled.
