as some have done that there is any conflict doctrinally between the epistle of paul and this of james while paul emphasizes the great truth of justification alone so far as the question of the sinners clear ance before god is concerned james speaks of the way a pro fession of justification by fiith is attested before men from the human standpoint no man is justi fied by faith only his irust be a faith that works whate er one may say as to the reality of his faith that faith can be manifested only by good works it is all important that we keep an even balance in seeking to present divine truth no man is justified by the works of the law gal 311 but the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit rom s4 we are saved by grace through faith not of works lest any man should boast eph 2s 9 but we are called upon to let our light shine before men that they may see our good works and thus glorify our father which is in heaven matt 5 1g it is the practical side of christ ianity which james was inspired to emphasize and this he does in great clearness his epistle reads very much like the sermon on the mount as he sets forth the power of genuine faith to enable one to walk with god and to adorn the doctrine of christ his epistle is addressed to the twelve tribes of israel tout that does not mean that any gentile believer is free to ignore its plain and important instruction for in the new christian company there is neither jew nor greek but all are one in christ rom 1012 verse by verse jas 122 be doers of the word and not hearers only when born again by the word and spirit of god we are called upon to walk in obedience to that word some thing more is required than a mere intellectual acquaintance with the truths of the bible verses 23 24 like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was to hear and know the will of god while not obeying it is like looking upon ones own countenance in a mirror and then going away and forgetting tils actual appearance the word of god is a mirror and is designed to manifest our true condition and to show us the need of practical cleansing verse 25 the perfect law of liberty this is gods revealed will it is a law of liberty because it directs the believer to do that in which all truly converted people find joy and delight such will be blessed as they pursue the path of obedience verse 26 seem to be religious the word religious is found five times in the new testament the word religious but twice it lit erally means to bind back that is to rebind man to god if one professes to be thus linked to god he should manifest it by careful speech and behaviour verse 27 pure religion and undented before god consists not merely in outward observances and ritualistic practices but in concern for those in need and in an un worldly christcentered life mennonites supply forty percent worlds relief supplies encroaching 20th century mod ernism must be followed by even more adherence to the tenents of the mennonite faith bishop john e lapp of hatfield pa told the recent mennonite general confer ence held at wooster pa in august in the audience were dele gates from gormley and other stations in ontario mr lapp preaching the keynote conference sermon described the truly spiritual man in detail as he must think and act in this age we have just emerged from the obscurity of an unschooled people mr lapp pointed out we no longer live to ourselves nor do we die to ourselves but the times have not changed the fundamental doctrines of our church our emergence has made us more conscious than ever of the need of the world the mennonite church was born as a group to minister to the needy today we have world opportunity such as has never existed before even now with only one tenth of one iper cent of the entire papu lation of the united states the mennonites are sending 40 per cent j f dmys j tea taxi

what doth it profit though a man say he hath faith and have not works the emphasis is on the word say an empty profession profits nothing genuine faith will be manifested by works for faith worketh by love gal 56 verses 15 16 if a brother or sister be destitute and ye give them not those things which are needful what does it pro fit empty platitudes are only a mockery to one who is in great need and sore distress it is practical charity that counts the starving cannot live on pious expression for one to use words of comfortable import while withholding what he could give to meet the need would but add insult to suffering verse 17 even so faith if it hath not works is dead being alone there is no work of grace in the heart where there are no acts of grace in the life an intel lectual acquiescene to the truths of christianity is valueless unless there be truth in the inward parts which results in good works in the outward life verse 18 shew me thy faith without thy works it cannot be done i will shew thee my faith by my works this is the testi mony of the sincere believer in the lord jesus christ verse 19 the devils demons also believe and tremble to be- lieve there is but one true and living god is not saving faith the very demons all are assured of this and shudder as tlhey think of meet ing him in judgment what is called monotheism while true and right in itself has no saving value one must know god is revealed in christ and such faith will be evidenced by works of righteous ness verse 20 faith without works is dead again james lays down the axiom on which he has been insisting throughout by works that are according to the revealed will of god the heart of the lesson he who has received christ in reality as his personal saviour will manifest his faith by bis works it is this on which james insists in this very practical portion of the word of god where one makes a profession of faith and that faith is devoid of evidential works he is either selfdeceived or is seeking to deceive others th renewed man rejoices in do ing the will of god and so his life proves the genuiness of the faith which he professes faith that does not work by love is not saving faith at all of all relief supplies provided throughout the world it is time however to examine the spiritual man the noncarnal religious than in a expository type of sermon bishop lapp stood firm on the importance of strict teaching of the basic principles of the mennonite church nonresistence and non conformity christ must be preeminent in all teaching programs or our teaching will not continue to be spiritual teachers must believe that a failure to teach will make the teacher responsible on the day of judgment teachers must believe that this is gods will for all men today be not confirmed to this world but be transformed making no apology for teaching the word of god as gods utterance bishop lapp placed emphasis on many doctrines including salvation by grace through faith christian assurance for all true believers ad herence to all ordinances even those that have become unpopular within certain church circles non conformity including all its appli cations in attire and other restric tions for christian living non- resistence in war and peace avoid ing dissension within the church and the family the nonswearing of oaths including affixing signatures to legal papers mutual aid especially avoiding life insurance an idea which should never enter the christian mind avoidance of all labor problems use of the power of prayer and never takng part in political affairs of this world the need to go into all the world with the christian message observation of the lords commandments and other important doctrines today as never before the barriers isolating the mennonite church are breaking down bishop lapp said many socalled christians are not spiritual men but are following carnal materialistic or ritualistic philosophies jesus is the one who said 1 am the life he is the foundation of christian experience without which a man cannot be a spiritual man definition of a spiritual man is manysided he has spiritual exer cise the gift of god needs stirring up he employs not license but spiritual liberty even though this christian experience is not sensory it is nevertheless real bishop lapp omphasizel tv be spiritually minded is to have life and peace they that are of the spirit mind the things of the spirit we need today an integrated spiritual life to meet the needs of the world today many of our people have been upset in these modern times we all must admit but the commandments of the lord must be observed today we are a peculiar peope zealous of good works we must stem the tide of the vvorldivard drift bishop lapp concluded stouffville sand gravel limited
