FROM OUR EXCHANGES

with contributions from Forsyth, Lathan A. Crandall, G. Campbell Morgan

[Rev. Principal Forsyth, D.D., in British Congregationalist.]

If the churches are not vital it is because the fraternity of faith has ceased to be vital, and is replaced by the fraternity of humanity. The love of the brethren is not the enthusiasm of humanity. That is what is the matter with the churches, and what is sapping their service of humanity. They are sacrificing the Christian brother to the human neighbor. The distinction between the two is very marked in the New Testament. And the power of the church with man and for man does not turn on our love of man, but on a love and faith of Christ which makes the bond between his lovers and believers take the lead of all the compassions and sympathies of our kind. Men are but our neighbors; the members of Christ are our brothers.

[The Universalist Leader.]
