The Church's One Vocation
By Editor
This writer . . . believes that the church has for its persistent business the saving of people from sin, and that the church is the solitary device which can carry on that glorious vocation. He believes that any method other than the church presents for the changing of human purpose and the cleansing of the human heart, is a spurious method. The church might do better than it does, but the notion that the church needs eternally to be tinkered with, he does not believe. The church, at least the Methodist Episcopal Church, for which this writer may claim a right to speak, is at its same old blessed business of leading men and women to God, who alone is able to renovate human nature and bring the desert to blossoming like the rose. The church and the preacher, with us, have the eternal vocation of the redemption of the world.—Bishop Quale. We heartily say amen to the above sentiments, and would respectfully suggest that the Methodist Episcopal Church keep out of politics, and stick to her one vocation.
