This he did m order that he mio-ht nat be. as he said, debtor to any man. In modem times the Friends, or Quakers, have no professional or paid ministry. The same could also be said of many of the early Free-will Baptists and Methodists, many of their ministers working at some trade or other secular calling to support ' themselves and their famUies, and making no cnarge lor their preaching. ; As against the contention of the authority quoted above, ; B t will doubtless be urged that the modern preacher must pre-1 are himstif lor the ministry by a long course of schooling, j abreast of the times, must prepare hurfaermons and attend to his pastoral duties. It he to dahis best work no tnougnt oi temporal fiimaelf or hw family should be allowed to interfere with it. f ' In answer to this, however, it may be said that the work f the preacher is spiritual, not intellectual or temporal.: It it amounts to anything it is the work of the spirit who will are for it. Education will not hurt any preacher, provided he does not come to depend upon it and forget the source from which alone he must draw much of his kriowledge, and all of huHnspiration and spiritual power., Tie idea of Peter or Paul going for instruction; inspiration and power to some old musty volume of the past or to some theological college is unthinkable. Instead, they opened their souls by prayer and pure living to the Spirit .ot the living God, and received from Him all that made them disciples, apostles and evangelists. iiuch of the drudgery of the modern preacher is not only useless, it isr spiritually. deadening. Less intellectual drudg ery and more of the spirit is what .is needed in the ministry "of today. No man is a preacher worthy of the nJme, unless h lives in such nearness to God that he can receive front Hinv inspiration, power and truth to give to those, Under his ministration-i Let:n0 minister forget thatit ia not he that speaketh', but' the Spirit of the Father which speaketh in himltiibehot so, his words are but "sounding brass and jinkling, cymbals." y' ' SUNDAY IMORXIKO.

(Copyrighted by the San Jose Mercury) : V One of the most remarkable contributions to the relig-J ious literature oi tne present; year is an article in tne juon don Evening Standard, by Dean W. R. Inge, of St. Paul's Cathedral in that city; in which the distinguished clergyman appears to advocate supplementing the labors of the profes sional ministry by the ordination of numbers of lay or sec ular clergy Z Indeed; some of his suggestions seem to look to ward entirely supplanting the professional clergy byi these lay ministers. ; Such a revolutionary suggestion coming from so high an. authority could, not fail to attract wide-spread attention, and is,, at least, worthy of the most serious con sideration.' y : ' v -.';-,.;.;;T . u ' The subject he discusses can best be introduced in some of the Dean's own words "In the first place.", he says, "the whole system of public worship was designed for state of society when very, few persons .read and very many were Un able to read. -Now we have become a reading nation. We absorb our intellectual food through the eye more - than through the ear and the parson is often no better instructed tnan memDers oi .nis congregation. : ine. metapnor ox. a shepherd and his sheep. has," he says, "become absurd" ';i . ' . ' For some time ithas been a matter of wonderment to .' many people that the clergy do not make larger use of the press to convey theirf message to the people. But to convey these messages through the printed page evclusively, and viri .tually abolish preaching as the" Dean almost seems to sug- gest, is quite another matter. Such a thing would, we be lieve, be a great loss to religion and to the world, ' It should be borne in mind that religion, if it amounts to.any thing to one, is not a matter of cold intellectuality; not a matter of thought or belief or opinion merely. It is a soul attitude or action: a reiieious sentiment, purpose, feeling, .that seldom is created, bv a cold. intellectual process. The impetus for it comes, so the Bible teaches and so many if not all religious people believe, from the Holy Spirit of God . straight to the souls of men through inspiration, it is cer tain, at least, that this subtle influence can be conveyed from one soul to another by a more or less personal presence or contact. It is not. the words that the spiritual man utters that affect others spiritually with whom he conies in per gonal (contact so much as it is the feeling, the emanation, the inspiration that goes out to them through his individuality or life. This it is that makes the real preacher, the true svangelist. Any so-called : preacher, who -has none of this 'spiritual power is at best only a spiritual bungler, a juggler of woicds, and to abolish him might not be s$cb a great loss to the world.? But not so In the case of those with a real, spiritual powef ,. 5uch should be given the, largest opportu nity to influcnf c.rr.cn -by their personal strength and pres ence, as well ain the printed word. . Alas, that there are so few of-themtv:;0-'-; K-t'f:, -r;' : ; To ouotVDean ihlre' ai:am"'y should-we not have in every parish several men and Jr6meh wh6.aH licensed to read Ecrvices in church, to admmi$tcr ihel sacraments and to do fill fKaf iYia flnvmr AtV:'r' ' s,.s r'i' f J" .' "There would be several advantages, in this change. The church .would be set free from the endless anxieties and hu miliations of begging for money. ' We should be rid of the clerical professionalism which is fostered in the theological colleges and which erects a barrier between clergy and laity. The ministers, being engaged in secular callings, would have i'.e layman's point of view, though they would, of course, be c ; osen as being earnestly religious persons. The rivalries of j '...rioua denominations would vanish, and the sects them ; Edves would quickly and spontaneously fuse. The public ; would feel, as they-io not at present, that religion was their r,. n business not the business of those who make their liv j j: out of it. . - .. -, v ' : Host Of this appeals at once to the ordinary layman.

' ,. But the religious revival, while taking some-of lb old forms, is reaching a peculiarly new and ik tertesing phuse. For science. cold, practical, materialistic sci ence, which arrives at its discov eries and conclusions by rigid mathematics, is slowly- but surely reaching- into the spiritual ele ments. The Einstein theory, which is bo Immeasurably beyond the ordinary understanding at present, which Involves such ad vanced mathematics that scarcely a dozen' men In the1 world can comprehend its' thesis, neverthe less bids fair to revolutionize our conception, of1 bur being, takes us into a fourth, fifth and even sixth dimension by which.! when com pieteiy understood, we seem to tremble on the brink, of the great unknown, to hint at powers and capacity beyond all , present con ception. Sarthat itwould seem that science - is' eing inexorably drawn, into spiritual ranee as its far-reaching discoveries -progress and Sir Oliver Lodge, once ridi culed for his spiritualistic beliefs. is becoming Increasingly respect ed by his scientific confreres and appears to have been a pioneer, a guide, rather than a freak and a fanatic: i, . bi iiieraiure nas sprang up during the last few years, some of it seemingly ridiculous. mucn or it spiritually appetlte- eauca- filled, promises to he an essential part of intellectuality, founded upon knowledge, upon practical. tangible evolution, a compulsory faith rather than a blind, volun tary faith.

And the world is ripe for some great scientific theory that, will enlarge, strengthen, inspire men's faith and understanding of the supernatural. Through such means great materialistic prog resses ' can be achieved the League of Nations, for instance r end such mighty measures for the better, higher, greater principles of the best that is in mankind And aa we seem to be at the apex ot the great struggle. Will the grosser materialism win, will the world continue to degenerate as the pessimists foresee, or will science turn materialism into spiritualism, a higher, greater more intellectual spiritualism than the world has hitherto known? When materialism is the servant of the s6ul the world will indeed' be : saved. But while the soul is 'he servant of materialism, who shall say to what depths the world may not descend?
