“What Would He Criticize?”—At a recent meeting of the Ministerial Association of San Francisco the question was asked: “If Jesus were here to-day, what would He protest against in the organized piety which I represent?” The Rev. Miles B. Fisher (Congregationalist) thought Jesus would first criticize the ecclesiastical estrangements. Rev. Richmond Logan (Presbyterian) thought his church was guilty of idolatry in being “too much given to the worship of a certain Frenchman named John Calvin.” The Star, of that city, considers the best answer that of Rev. Robert Whitaker (Baptist), of Oakland. He said, among other things: “If I ever thought Jesus was a Baptist, I put that notion away years ago with childish things. Neither was Jesus a Methodist nor Presbyterian, a Protestant, or Catholic. Our little systems are broken lights of His vision of truth. But just where His criticism of the organized piety of the day would fall, I do not know. I am quite sure He would be out of sympathy with denominational braggadocio of every sort. The average denominational conference would weary Him with its emphasis on externals and incidentals, and its exaggeration of denominational self-consciousness.” And this is good as suggestive of the conditions of modern churches; but it is worthless as to what the Master would say. What He was when here, He is to-day. What He said when here, the word which His Spirit inspired in apostle and prophet is comprehensive enough to cover all. The Decalogue is still in force in God’s plan. The Sermon on the Mount is still current.
