Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Hartford Seminary Record, Vol. 15: Issued Under the Auspices of the Faculty of Hartford Theological Seminary; November, 1904, to August, 1905 Secretary Barton´s paper touches on questions that have been so widely discussed that it has been frequently noticed in the daily press; but it deserves presentation in complete form. These two papers reflect not inaptly the two peculiar phases of the individuality of this National Council - one treating with a touch of spiritual passion the glorious absoluteness of the Christian faith, and the other handling with tempered judgment a significant question in ecclesiastical policy. That this Council should have blended these two characteristics in such a notable degree is a very striking fact. It was a notable Congregational assemblage. It manifested the self-consciousness of the denomination at its best. It made it clear that the denomination was determined to realize its high calling to achieve the best things. There was evident a wholesome purpose to get together in the best way to accomplish results for the kingdom of God, regardless of cragged traditionalism or fuzzy idealism. The sane desire to do unitedly the best things to meet current conditions was dominant. It was this spirit of practical serviceableness that pitched the key of its pervasive evangelistic spirit. It may not be altogether amiss for the ministry of today to meditate on the profound truth which is caricatured in the phrase, "Willingness to be damned for the glory of God." As the hearts of the ministry go out in ardent desire for the manifestation of the Spirit, is the thought uppermost: those empty pews there, this diminishing popular esteem of the church, that lifeless prayer-meeting, and the effect on all these that would be wrought by a revival season? Or is the yearning toward souls unsaved, lives untouched by the blessedness of Christ´s presence in the heart? Is the revival craved for the sake of the church, or is the church conceived of as a means for a revival? Is Christ for the church, or is the church for Christ? Why, with what motives, do we stretch upward hands of prayer, and strive to push open the windows of heaven? A season of revival is a season of heart searching.
