Since men are asked at every service to sing hymns written for women or by sedentary saints, the wonder is that so many go through the performance. " Christ and His apostles were men, they made sacri- fices like men, they spoke in the language and laboured in the spirit of men of their day, and the Church must emulate them now to win men. The average man believes the Church to he antiquated. He believes the Bible class to be far more concerned with the ancient Hittites than with modern social c...onditions, remembering the former classes which were largely made up of amateur theo- logians and sectarians.
