THE K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S Christianity from their hymn books. Dr. Eliot, the President of the Ameri can Unitarian Association, has recently written: “The ordinary Y. M. C. A. hymn pamphlet contains a few single hymns but is for the most part a compilation of musical slang and literary trash. Chaplains and Y. M. C. A. secretaries who have some real religious sensibil ity. or a fair share of good taste wel come our (Unitarian) hymn pamphltet.” Unitarians are seeking on every occasion to identify themselves with the great body of evangelical Chris tians. They hope for an infection of “liberalism” to do what two genera tions of direct assault have not accom plished.—Rec. of Chris. Work. TALKING OR DOING Frankly, what’s thè use of saying, “Every time I see a Jew I want to take off my hat to him,” when you are not willing to take out your dollar to help him know of that Name through which alone he can be saved? What’s the use of the premillennial doctrine if it teaches by innuendo that “we must leave the Jews alone in this age?” Are you obeying God in your work, prayer and gifts in behalf of the Jew? Are you a layman? Just how much did you give for Jewish Missions last year, and how much to all other missions? Are you a pastor? How much did your church give for Jewish Missions last year? Think over these things. Some day you will be required to give an accounting of your stewardship.-^ Joseph Cohn. DEAD CHURCH A preacher who found no one at prayer meeting began to toll the bell.

This was the Corinthians’ “service” ; so is it ours (9:11, 12) our “spiritual service.” Such a loose hold on the good things of life and a willing distribution thereof among God’s needy saints is proof to others that the gospel of Christ has full sway in the heart, that the needs of the brotherhood are a matter of concern, and produces thanksgiving to God, and intercession in the behalf of the givers (9:14, 15). THE LATEST THING There has been dedicated in Boston a church home for all nations, in the building put up under the auspices of the Morgan Memorial. Every creed and every race will be at liberty, indeed will be urged, to hold religious services according to their own tongue and with their own clergy. Twenty or more races are found within a short radius of the Morgan Memorial’s social, industrial, and religious plant, and the new build ing will furnish a church home for men and women of all these peoples and of every sect. The structure will seat comfortably nearly a thousand persons in its main auditorium. It is built of reenforced concrete, with slight deco rations of brick and tile. Walls, floors, columns and arches, even stairways, and pulpit, are of the concrete. It is Gothic in style, and has attracted many visitors during its building.
