The Building Fund

Archibald McLellan

We are prompted to state, for the benefit of those who have inquired about the progress of the work on the extension to The Mother Church, that the erection of the building is proceeding rapidly: in fact, it is being pushed with the utmost energy, and at the present time there are no less than fifteen different trades represented.

"That they all may be one."

Archibald McLellan

The following extract from a sermon recently preached in Brooklyn, "The City of Churches," from the text, "Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk," is an example of the arguments which have been used to justify the non-healing nature of modern religion, but we think it will not bring to many a conviction that the healing which Jesus performed is duplicated in the work of the physicians of to-day, or that the Master's command to heal the sick is fulfilled in the building of hospitals.

The Harvest

John B. Willis

The husbandman may rejoice in the prophecy of the fresh young grain, even though his profit is not yet negotiable, but he cannot plan and provide on an assured basis, until the well filled shocks stand at "attention" in their impressive autumnal parade; then he is prepared to remove all doubt as to the wisdom and success of his labor.

"The prayer of faith"

Annie M. Knott

It has never been denied that faith in God is an essential element of the higher nature, and yet few have had clear views as to how it is to be brought into realization and applied in the varied problems of human experience.
