But to the evra of the average man the Church appears today torn and hledy, cruelly scourged, annecessarily crucified; through the pride and the stupidity of the Chief Priests and the prople.

The bitter, lesson the Church has had to

learn in the past is the lesson civilization has to learn in the fatüre. Namely, thi we are all one, body, the Bady of Gøl, aul if our part of the body is injurel, the whole boly must feel it.

The Rev. E J. Northeolty Chaplain of the Forces, preached the following sermon at St. Joan's Cathedral on Sunday morn ing. The text was taken from 1.Cor.12. Ye are the body of Christ and members ja particular. The eye canot unto the hand, I have No need of then": nor again the hand to the feet, *1

But why, we say," why this profound pettiness? Because the Church lost sight of her objective. Her objective was to win the Kingdoms of the word into the Kingdom of God. Instead, each little party in the Church became m engrossed in pinging about with the little bit of might they had got hold of, that they fost sight of the goal they were aiming at

And the result the desperate result, The Church of God hangs before the world today as Christ bung on Calvary dying pathetically powerless.

Everyone of us, every ation, every church every party, every person, must naturally put their own personal wishes before anything else in the world. There is only one way to get over it. We iĝust have an objective that we realise is more important thang our own personal wishes. We must keep that objective, stendily before us. Like the footballer, for the sake of the goal we are aiming at, we must be ready to sacrifice both the opinions of the crowd and our wish to play our own game. There is only one objective that is big enough for all these things; that is to have as our objectiv the Kingdom of God..

We must argue it out like this; the only possible explanation of this world is that it is, in some sense, God's world. The only possible explanation of ourselves is that we are, in some sense, are God's children. The only possible explanation of God's children, gradually evolving and continual evolving and progressing towards some ly progressing, is that they must be purpose. That purpose roust be God's when God's will shall be done on earth ass purpost God's purpose is God's Kingdom it is in Heaven.

taking his part in the little circle of life in which he moves, be is also taking his part in the unfolding and fulfilling of the Kingdom of God.'

My brothers, it is only thoughts such as these we shall find big enough to to make us forget ourselves and our own wishes, to work and to trust Cha, and to pray, with ever growing understanding: "Thy Kingdom come Thy rule, O Christ, hezin Brenk with thine iron rod, The tyrannies of win."
