From Our Exchanges

with contributions from Charles Stelzle, K. C. Anderson

[The Christian Intelligencer]

If all God's people were clearly marked off from the rest of men by true Christian idealism, and if their lives approximated more and more "the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ," how different the status of current events might have been! What a power in the world the church would have been in these latter days! Our eyes are not blind to all that the aggregate Christian life means to the world to-day. But the awful sway of the essential spirit of the world as seen in its consummate product in a world at war, and the utter carnality attending it all, must give us solemn pause as we reflect what an opportunity was lost when the command to be separate was overborne by the love of this world prevalent in the church of the living God.
