A Crisis for the Church

Of the danger of the church entering into the competition with the world and worldly organizations, the Methodist Recorder says:—

There has not been a period in the history of the Christian dispensation when there were so many efforts to induce the church to enter into competition with other organizations as now. It is a moment of crisis. If the church can be kept to its own mission, then her victory is assured. If she answers the many voices that are now calling to her, and goes out into the world to compete with all sorts of human organizations in all sorts of work, then her power is declining, and will decline till she be brought back to her Lord's own appointed way and work.
