Note and Comment

At the close of a long letter on the present failure of Protestantism, a correspondent of the New York Sun writes thus:—
What is needed at the present time is some great apostle, a Christian socialist in fact, who will be utterly indifferent to the claims of wealth, and preach a Christianity such as was taught by its Founder and is revealed in the New Testament. Now the Protestant churches seem to be nothing but social clubs. They are certainly not preaching institutions. And yet we were told that it pleased God to save the world through “the foolishness of preaching.” Until some change takes place, I feel justified in holding that Protestantism is on its trial.
The world needs the simple gospel message preached “in demonstration of the Spirit, and of power,” as in the days of the apostles. The Lord has provided such a message for this generation. Preach the message.
