Worcester ,

Mr.

‘me following addmss was deliv. cred to the Joint service for young people which was held in St. James Kirk ‘Sunday evening. after the regular diet of worship. ‘Ilhe r, Mr. John Denny, presented to the Christian public the follow- ing challenging questions:

Ibliow students and friends:

As I stand here this evening in this old, historic church oi’ St. James, I am bound to confess, that for the moment, my spirit fails me. I em, as if in a. dream, shadows passing before, shadows that ones were men. Men who ministered 31151191111! to their people. believing what they declared. and striving to carry out the will of God. ‘These century old walls echoed back their words as they do mine tonight, these old concave: resounded to their doctrines. But something is lacking, something has changed.

Local lloung Man Addressed Young ‘Peoples Gathering Sunday Evening.

nralsetoGodJ-hankllhnandbo- scech Him for His blessinss and ox- pound His teachings. ‘rhia, then. should be s real boon to you and should help satisfy the cravings of your soul. But what happens? How does the individual mind act Church? You enter the Church, and the first hymn of praise is sung. The choir sings full bll-st. most of the congregation are silent, some sing. But hue lfies the hypocrisy, the words are meaningless. The glorious poems which have been written for the praise of God are sung for the tune only. Do you re- member the words of the hymn wa‘ Just sung.

Revcreuce 'J.'hen comes a prayer offered by

a minister. During this pfbyer. some people close their eves and "

The church is the some, the walls are no different, the roof is still above us, where then lies the chv nge. The change, my friend, lies in the speaker and his audience. You and rare-not old and mellow, you and I are not a century old. but we are the rising generation of an rta which we hope will surpass all oth- ers in its scope and brilliance. You have invitednie to Steak to you to- night, and somehow that thought gives me confidence. You knew, when you asked me, that you were not inviting someone versed in theology and the doctrines of the clinch. You knew that your spe ker would not have the experience to give you sound advice or the fore- sight to tell ycu about the future. ‘Then, why did you select a person from the social and business stratum that I represznb? I'll tell you why. Berausc you wanted to fin? some- one who could put your twn thouzhts into words, who could frame the questions which you ask yourselves. and who would fling these qwstions out to be answered, answered by these who claim to teach us, the older members of the communty. This is my object in speaking to you tonight. I t-ust 1 shall succeed in attaining m goal, and I know that you hope I will.

THE BASIS

some leave them open and look around, others talk. Is there any blasphemy there? Do the people realise that they are aying to their Maker, who holds eir destin- ies in the hollow of his hand? Then after the prayer, the choir may render an anthem, a. more elo- quent hymn of praise to God. Do they realize the import of the words they are singing? Not they. Do the congregation? Not they. ‘men the preacher delivers his sermon. This ls gnlrllly based on s. verse of scripture. The congregation 118.8118 intently. The speaker may speak on anything under the sun but he generally finishes up by relating his story to the worshin of God. ‘more is nothing wrong with this, and we all know that for the most part, our ministers are earnest and lworthy men. Now, what is the im- pression o! the whole service on the individual members of the congre- gation, what is the iesrlt? You know it as well as I do. After the se;vice friends meet and talk to each other, strangers are welco ed. This is a‘1 quite rizht and proper. Then currps tine conversation of the group, family, etc. Didn't Mrs. So and So sing wzll this morning‘? Wereni the prayers rather long? Mr. so and So spoke veil today, but

there are other days I do not care

to hear him. His sermons Ell’ too long. Sc runs the conversation. but

Now, we are Isl.‘ plain, ordinary human beings. We haw our mater- ial side and our spiriiual side. The. maferlai side of our natures, will b: admixiistered to for the next six days of the week in our work, in our studies and in our rec nation] Y0". Presumably. came here tonight

to satisfy the divine and spiritual

part of you, your soul. Th s runs, the explanation offered by our churches and ministers. In degllxig with this divine part of our rid/lures, we call ourselves Ch istians and believe certain things. Some people call themselves Mcliammxiuns, some others Buddhists and so on. But no matter. whether pagan or Christian. curry person has a div- ine complex in their maize-up. We, then. call ourselves Christians and believe certain things. ‘These be- liefs rue laid down primarily in f5," Apostles Creed. They axe outlined there. as Iollowsz- (i) We bvlieve in God the Father Almighty. and in Jesus Christ. (2) we believe in the Holy Ghom. (8) ‘Ilhe Commun- ion of Saints. (l) The forgiveness of sins (6) The Resurrection of the body, (ti) The life everlasting. It is not my intention to speak at great length concerning the mzanln"; of these articlcs, but I am simply go- ing to ask certain questions about them, will-h you are asking your-

if we are to believe wholly and fully in the Christian znligion. The first article states that we believe in God and in Jntus Christ, who to our minds are om and the same person. Because we believed in God. we built him houses in which He could dwell and in which we could draw near to Him whenever we willed. Alow, as our souls are the mist vital part of, us, one would think that tiiev should be nurtured and fed as often as our bodies. But what is the sita- tion? If people wish to dmw nesr to God on a. wcpiz-day in His house, they cannot do it. The majority of the Protestant churches are locked on week-days, and in any case what a sensation you w-ulcl create. inning your friends if after you flnhhsd College or work at dlllllef-tllhfi you walked into church to commune with God. What would your friends say? You would never ‘ of doing it. Is this a connect attitude to take ‘ wards your Maker? Is it your fault or the fault of your teachers?

Church Services

But the Cwrehss give you your chance on Sunday. They hold ser-

not a word about God and their in- tercourse with him? The.‘ topic is positively taboo. Is there something wrong here? Are these people wor~ shipping thvr Mainr? We cannot keep on Fl {z like this and still tool oursclv s into believing that we derive o. great benefit therefrom. We are turning our clwrohel into consort-halls, our preiichem into lecturers, and our choke into pru- Iesslofml singers. We turn to our leaders and say. explain this. It is time for an answer. If we are Christians these hypocrisles have ro place in our m!dst. If we am not. iheh let us have regular oomerts once a week and call them by their right names. We demand an answer. will they gim us one?

Unnallties

Some of you will pTClTllly liken me to the Socialist, and say that I have taken an extreme case. But I have not. Chu-lottetown is an average town in this connection. and you know as well as I do that ‘his is what takes place here. In om. or out" oovntrv churches, all ‘he evils do not exist, but their roots are there and show them- selves in different manners. On the 'ther hand, you have only to listen to some services held by so-cailcd pvamelists in the country to the South of us. Hymns are sung, to r ' l. numbers. The evangelist shouts out, put a five dollar bill in the plate, for the Glory of God, for the glory of the evangelist, mom like it. No my friends. I have just "fven you trr: actual facts as they ‘xikt here.

I am going to omit the nextvtwo reliefs contained in the cred, which are more o? less tech- nical and skip to the fourth. It states, we believe in tin for "mess o1 sins. Just what does that mean? D063 it mean that we ran commit any sin under the sun and still b: forgiven, if we repent. I think it

Other (h-lticism

Alim- writing these ‘words, that I! have lust r , I felt “ ‘ ‘alarmed at seeing these questions in worse, and more alarmed when I reclined that they were WiTlWn to be spoken to you toniwht- I b!!!“ to ask myself whether they were not egotistical, whether I was not ta-k- ing too much for granted and that other young people thought differ- mtiy on the subject. So I decided to lat one of my friends read these _ ‘ions I had fanned. Eh did so. I felt that that was not enough. so I explained my tlilcstimis to six others. and here am the opinions I received. Bear in mind, that these

missed something if he did not get to church in the morning. Further, ‘e declared, that the same ques- tions 1 have asked tonight bothered him also and he would me if I asked them to be explained. (9) next thrcc told mo that they to church from habit, and it more or less to be seen or soc others. That they felt very little reverence to God. they confessed. and they had never stepped to think of an after-life, and could not visualise or believe in one. (i) The last two told me that they went to church fairly regularly. They felt no reverence whatsoever, la God's house, however, because they had heard the story so often. that they had become cynical of everything related to the Christian religion, and did not take any stock in it at all. This B not an imaginary list that I have oetcd to dupe you. These opinions were cxpmssed by young men who spoke in all serious- ness. l could name them if I want- ed to, but there is no need of that. They are all sitting out them io- night within sound 0d my voice. Out of these seven young men, two tried to form some code for this life. and one thought seriously of an after-life. Both of them be- lieved that the Golden Rule. do unto others as you would that they should do to you, was quite en- ough. ‘Phree of them were irreverent in church. took the minister! teach- ings for granted. and were quiir

man to his brothers and neigb hours. Trose are not the vital pm; of our‘ r; ‘gion, thme things are common to all religions. We might as well have been Buddhist.» and followed the teachings of Geutama, that all the miseries and discon- tents of this lite can be traced to insatiable selfishness. We would have attained the same end. Our hospitals, our insane asylums, our ooziduct would all have been evolv. ed. But the thing that differen- tiates our religion from others, b that we believe in God, a living spirit, our maker, and Saviour and we mverence Him. Further, we bo- lievo in a resurrection of the dead and a-u everlasting life. These are the things that matter, and these are the very things that are bo- coming fainter and fainter in out- line as the ycarsgo on, and which cerpiex us so. We try to oome to God's house in o, reverent mood, but somehow all reverence islaclring. Isit the fault of ourselves. of our relig- ion. or of our teaohers and leaders?

There is more danger threatening the Christian religion today than there was in the days of Paul. whole nations, formerly Christian, have recanted the Christian doc- trine. The danger today is hidden. secret, surely and steadily over- coming all opposition. There liu the danger. Do our preachers ‘see it? Do our leaders see it? Do we see it? If thgse tangles are not 111l- raveiled and reverence of God io- stored, whooananswerfortlze fut- ure of our country and ourselves Tonight, we llhfOw out a challenge to our leaders, a challenge which must not go unanswered if tha Christian rniirion is tosurvivo.
