THE COMMUNITY CHURCH CHALLENGE

For a community like Stow, or. any other like 'area on the face of the earth, there is no church so iwell adapted to serve a cosmopoli-tan people as a united church. I make a careful estimate tha t with-in a radius of three miles from the traffic light at the cross reads of Stow township tha t there are peo-ple affiliated with sixteen dif fer-ent denominations. These sixteen different groups range f rom a few families up to a fair showing of strength. The little groups thank God that they are different from the rest and -contend that , though small in numbers, like little ships or little trees, God has a place for them to edge in and work during' life's little day. Each little band, hciwever, dreams and hopes for nu-merical strength. They visualize a •church home, a Sunday school, a preacher, and all the garnish of a progressive church. But sixteen churches are impossible for Stow, 'that is sixteen brands of churches, •worshipping God in sixteen varie-ties of beliefs. There are probably mere than sixteen d i f ferent nation-alities in Stow, they colonize and amalgamate very nicely, it 's not necessary to have a hospital, or a drug sfco-re, or a doctor, or a hard-ware store for each nationality. I recall, however, tha t the Old Book reads, "For the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light." Luike 16:8.

For the highest glory of God and 'for the greatest spiritual good

for all 'the people it would be great if there was one church in Stow, and tha t church absorbed t h e s t rength and talent and interest of all the people. A mighty church of three thousand members, a cen-tralized church at tract ing the whole countryside, a choir of four h u n -dred voices, a Bible school mould-ing cut immortal character, mighty as a magnet in drawing all youth to the world's greatest teacher, the Man of Galilee. A united church of the christian religion, rising to its privilege olf oneness in f a i th and doctrine. A church mighty in nsc-d and works, advancing the Kingdom of God in- Stow. A church loved a,nd respected' by all righteous folk. A church fcig enough and dynamic enough to be feared Iby the ungodly. A church tha t can speak a-s one having authority. A church where there is no thought of offence in fa i th or doctrine to anyone homeward bound. For in the New Testament church, caste, nationality, low and high, customs and persuasions, are all absorbed in the Master 's church. There is neither Jeiw or Greek, there is neither bond or free, there is neither male or female, for ye are all one in Jesus 'Christ. Galat ians 3:38.
