What men want is knowledge, not ceremonies. Newspapers and magazines, lectures and colleges, are the teaching church of our time, to which all men go. Philanthropic societies and reform societies are the working church of this age. " "The church is not wanted, " continue our critics, "and is even in the way. It usually Till': CHURCH AM) WORSHIP. 83 opposes progress, opposes reforms, or else wholly neglects them. It leaves the abolitionist to free the slave ; the temperance societies to reform t...he drunkard : it turns over the blind and the idiots to Dr. Howe ; the ignorant children to Horace Mann ; the insane to Dorothea Dix ; the prisoners to the Prison Discipline Societ}^ ; our suffering brute relatives to the Societ}- for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Every one of these re- forms lay directly in the way of the church, and it passed them by. The church should have preached deliverance to the captives, and eman- cipation to the slave ; the church should have preached knowledge for the people, should have carried help to the blind and deaf and insane and intemperate.
