Sykes, an evangelist from -England who is conducting special _,services in the Presbyterian church, 1' Midland, assisted by Leslie Pifer, 14 soloist, from Australia. Mr. Sykes B l is evangelist of the Free Churches of P. `England and was nine `years minister _ `of a church in Newcastle-on-Tyne.be- l r. E h 1` fore taking up this special work. The lication to be certified as 3 stu- ! , real core of his mission. he said,` a : was to interpret evahgelism, shorn of all the cheap and extravagant things which had unfortunately grown up' around it, and to re-es- tablish it in the respect of the church. The church cannot survive" on ecclesiastical models or skillful or- p ganization; The indispensible part _ of christianity is that which cannot be organized-the- spirit.- Without it T the church may be efficient without being effective; without it the in- stitution `ill stifle the inspiration; without itvzhe church will perish from anaemia. Nobody can understand Jesus in a winning and inspiring way until heworships Him; until obedi- ence to Him is the supreme, joy -of life. If religion touches life any- where it should touch it everywhere; not as a panacea but as a redeeming principle. The message of evangel- ism is for repentance, forgiveness and conversion. It is the message the world is waiting. for and the mes- s1ag_e\ it is the church's duty to pro- c aim. I1_,j # 75 E Ii ir phi It was agreed that Mr. Robert ,lEI1is, lately from the.
