EVERYDAY COUNSELOR By Bishop Herbert SpMgh Travelers returning from Russia tell how many of the churches there have been made into museums by the government Bishop Raines of the Methodist Church who recently held a preaching mission in the First Methodist Church of Charlotte, commented upon this fact. He said that the churches had become mu seums long before the Communists took over. By that he meant that the church had lost contact with the real needs of the people. Stalin first turned to the church as a young man and was a candidate for the priest hood. When he found that the church had nothing to offer to common peo ple. he turned to Communsim The same thing is happening in Europe Thoughtful travelers return ing from there will tell you this is true. I observed it myself when I was over there in 1957. Far more people come to the great churches and cathedrals in Europe to exam ine them as museum pieces rather than to worship. The church there is gradually ceasing to become a spiri tual force in the life of the people. A friend of mine who recently re turned from England said that the thing that impressed him most there was the “death of the church.” By that he meant that few people at tended them for worship or looked to the church for help in their need. To the thoughtful observer the same thing is slowly happening in this country. The day historically set apart for the ministry of the church is rapidly being commercialized. The American people are using Sun day for the greatest variety of pur poses: for recreation, for travel, for repairing the house, for cutting the lawn, for doing the laundry. At best the church is being allotted a maxi mum of two hours. Mony limit it to one. The old fashioned mid-week prayer service, the time to recharge our spiritual batteries, has largely gone. The church is being put into the position of the man in Edgar Allen Poe’s “Iron Room.” Those of you who have read this story will recall that a man was seated on a chair in a room with iron walls which were gradually closing in on him. In the center of the room was an opening into a pit below. Inexorably the walls closed in on him and he saw the time when he would be forced into the hole and drop into the pit. In spite of al/ this, the American people desperately need what the church should be offering them— spiritual healing for the ever-in creasing emotional illlnesses which are sweeping the land. Physicians are constantly reminding us that the majority of the people in our general hospitals today are there as a result of emotional illness. If we continue to follow our present path, it is only a matter of time until our churches become museums. G. D.
