The editorial wa,s as follows : You may fancy that I march vp to this olnt In my career with considerable con-siderable eagerness. The past welht-fd welht-fd with the memory of rather roui?h traclin,T over partially unbiased trails It needing arJ a future radiantly radi-antly bright loonm Into view. The church to which 1 ro fx rich in historic his-toric heritage and richer still In the burning desire to stamp the ctuing day with the Impress of lta superb Christian ideala. And yet I do not go euKerly. Kor here In Ogden my three babies were born. Here was my first church. Hen- I touched the hands of hundreds hun-dreds of elejwi-lived. clear-vlsloned voting men and women for whose earnestness and enthusiasm the w..rld Is patiently waiting. Their hish standards have, been to nie a source of constant encouragement. The new age has nothing to fear If all its leaders are to be fashioned in their mould. I hope the years will not M.b mo of their names or of the happy memory of our usociatlon together. to-gether. Here, too. In the miJst of ceaseless struggle for what 1 thought was right and best I caught the light that shone in the oyes of men and women who had seen the vision and had breathed the air of the newer world now truly God's and more justly man's those wIm dreamed of bringing moral order out of disconsolate chaos. , Here from week to week I have had the rarest of fellowship with my brother ministers. We have differed In many ways. But we were all struggling to make men understand the royal privilege of service. Tim has bound us together. And in this church I have found life that was lire IndeeJ life that would be strength and hope lo evcr worthy cause. Tonight I am standing in thin pulpit pul-pit for the hist time. The years have slipped away all ,too swiftly. Perhaps 1 have made my message sufficiently plain. Yet there are some things I want to say In this closing editorial. My chief work in those five years has not been that of an agitator or a reformer in pite of my reputation My chief contention has been that re- , I!!.-... : V, I n.. . ..I ....... ..( k ' use'il in .-woe-Liiin imi, .-.juiviu on, that vitalizes life, something which inspirits, something which makes men hate evil as well as love good, something which gives mankind a vision of the better world. The better world, in the vision, l tree from all that mars and weakeus human life. This .present world, then,, in order to become the belter world must he rid of lite institutions which mar and weaken human life. So It Is one conies to a program involving bitter antagonism to all weakening Institutions. In-stitutions. There are some things honest men cannot hand down to suc- ceeding generations. , I have no quarrel with either denominations denom-inations save as they exalt the lesser to the greater dace. To leach the Individual In-dividual that 'nls own soul's welfare or his own body's wellare Is of paramount para-mount Importance, is to mo ties Meat cirme of modern paganize! Christianity . All the philosophies that have had their day and ceased to he lincered on that unholy ground. We have no right to sacrifice Christianity Chris-tianity to lhat ideal. I have not sought to justify the sins of society, but to reprove them. I have died to say that upheaval can not come with platitude; that conventional conven-tional Christianity was only pretty to look at; that the liberalism which Is 1 mostly a matter of wordy boasting is as bad as the orthodoxy which does the same thing; that the temperature temper-ature of one's enthusiasm need not be taken every ten minutes I have insisted that in the last analysis manhood alone counts; that lite was more than a drinking bout: that no man bus a right to fritter It away. I have pleaded for a new frontage toward man, and toward the uulvcrse and toward Cod. I have stressed the supreme things of life God, Chris', hope, love, service, righteousness, jus-lie-. I have emphasised the opportunities oppor-tunities of the privileged and have I tried to make those who had the ability abil-ity and the strength want to serve with their ability and strength. I nave tried to point out the path which shall lead more and more unto tbe 1 ei ten day. : I have endeavored to tell men they must bo forever searching their souls; that il Is no great thing to say we have come to minister unless we have something to minister. I have earnestly pleaded with men not to offer their Integrity or their honesty or their morality in the open market; not to sacrifice courage and i. dependence for gain of money. I have protested that we were to irould the times and not the times us. There is a warrior spirit in the Kingdom of Cod. There is an heroic aspect to the Christian life. It has t-eii purpose to exalt them. We cannot thank Cod lor what makes life easy and comfortable, but we do thank Him for what makes It difficult and great. The world stands most In need of high hope anJ a deeper longiag after the things of God. A church man has no right to be an Idler or a mere tnouey-gettcr. He is |
