The church has sought to make God over into a set of laws. It is easfer to serve an inflexible code than a liv- ing_spirit. what God wills for men. It has regis. tered this presumption in a hard-and- fast theory of human life. Tt has said, | God wills thus and so, about personal |conduct, about religious exercises, about personal belief. The man on the street is inclined to argue, Does the church know the wili | of God with such completeness? Must I accept her judgment. The church has split in her judg- ment. Thera have been a host of {points of view as to the demands | which God makes of men. In all branches of the church there is evi- dence of a desire to escape the dead lethargy of institutionalized dogma- tism and to understand the God who is a spirit. It God is a spirit, God grows. Everywhere we see thie evidence of movement in creation, the growth of new life in every day. Tf God is the { all-pervading spirit of this creation He cannot stand still. Jesus tells us that this God of all the earth is a loving God. That means He shares life with us, that He is working with us_ through blindness and defeat, through failure and disap- pointment to victory and vision. A spiritual religion does not demand conformity; it demands lovalty to what the Quakers call “the inner light.” A spiritual religlon i3 never 80 easy as an institutional lovalt It demands imagination, alivenes: awareness, vigor of soul and mind, It is not easy, but the Gospel of Jesus was never easy. That is the reason S0 many substitutes arc offered. G ROBSION IN PULPIT. Kentucky Representative to Speak at Vermont Avenue Church. During the absence of the pastor, | Rev.
