THE CHURCH’S .MESSAGE AS INTER PRETED BY THE REV. W. H. JEFFRIES, M.O.
IVliat is tho message of tlio Churth for tlic
fife of to-day? This was tho question tlie Rev. W. H. Jeffries, M.C., set out to answer in tile course of iiis presidential address to the Clillieroc Free Church Council on Friday evening. “ Tho Church has a message for to-day,”
said Mr. Jeffries, laying the stress upon the Jias, “ and the age needs it. in tlieso modern times, the Cliureh iias sometimes forgotten tliat thought is- the spring of action. Sho lias been eager to display lier deeds rather

is that ‘‘Man tliall not live by bread alone.” Those aro the w'ords of our Master and a> French writer has got near to thorn recently when ho said “ Man wants more tliau bread; he wants roses.” And BO our message must touch life a t every
point. Where is i t to be found? In tho Biblo, but not in the Bible as some dead book of tho past, but as full of great principles, intorpreted in the light of Iiistory and ex- perronce. Let mo suggest one or two truths which 1 think should be stressed. The first is the sovereignty of God, th at God created die world and God sustains it by the power of His miglit. This is not to oppose all evolutionary teaciiing but rather to show that evolution takes place beciiuse God is working out tile eternal purpose. This means tliat the world is built on moral lines and moral judgments operate everywhere, that tho world is not a thing of chaos but of ordered jmr- pose and that tho ruler of die world is tlio Lord of
Ho.sts. This me.ans that lie who will not be ruled by the rudder must be broken on tho rock and only as man obeys this moral purpose 'will he be bles;#d. As Dante put it ' His will Ls our peace ’ Tile second point I would

' But the dead iiaud of. me p'ast must never bo allowed to throttle the tliuught and activity of the present. The jireseiit age is ours ami ours alone, and tlio Churcli must relate its message to the present experience of men. We must rememher their thouglit-moulds, iheir envirouineut, the quests to whieli they give tJiemselvcs. This is not to criticise tlio
me.ssago ol a previous geueratiou, nor does i t 'assure th a t our message is either perieet or final. Tlio future age, with more know ledge and a dilfereut experience, will forgo
