OURS IS THE MANDATE
‘ By Carroll Reece
In this time of general rejoicing over the Republican victory last month, it is well to remember-that the party has not
only been given.a great opportunity but has also assumed a
heavy responsibility.
We know that the program now being worked out by the
Republican leaders and members of the next congress will
guide the nation to prosperity at home and continued peace
abroad. But we know also that these results will not be achieved ovrenight.
: The Republican Party does not yet have control of the
congress—one of the three great coordinate branches of the
government. But for the next two years the Democrats will
still control the presidency and most, if not all, of the various
departments, commissions, and other agencies of the executive
branch. Moreover the third branch of the federal government
—the judiciary is now composed in overwhelming numbers
of appointees of Democratic presidents. Under our system of
government the judiciary is intended to be independent of
politics: Hence, it is to be hoped that its members will not be
influenced by any political ideologies which may have had
something to do with their appointments.
The president has announced his intention to cooperate
with the Republican congress in the national! interest. Republican leaders have announced their desire t6 meet the president halfway. Nothing is to be gained by ignoring the difficulties involved in this bi-partisan control of the government
during the next twoyears. A frank realization of the difficult
nature of the problems thus created may assist in their solution. :
In discussion of the promised cooperation between congress and the’ president, it should not be overlooked that it is
the Republican congress which holds the most recent mandate
~-fromthe American people. By their votes on November 5th
the people announced that they were dissatisfied with © the
Democratic conpress. Hence they elected "Republican majorities in hoth the senate and the house of representatives. Jt
must be assuméd-from-this aét of the American people. that
they favored the legislative program promulgated by Repubhean leaders and Republican candidates during the campaign
That mandate of the people it would seem should be binding
upon the executive as well as the legislative branch.
It is the duty of the Republican congress to translate into
laws the program which has been approved by the people.
Equally it is the duty and obligation of the executive branch to
accept this expression of the people’s will.

‘SERMONETTE
OF THE WEEK
“IS CHRISTIANITY DECLINING?”
By The Rev. Angus Miller
Rector Trinity Episcopal Church
Weare all too much inclined to be pessimistic. We look
back on the past with the rose-tinted spectacles of memory
and think that “things were better in the good old days.” It is
an age-old complaint that youth is not so good, so enterprising, as in the past. It is said today that the church is not what
it used to be, that religion is declining, and so forth. These
complaints have been made in every age.
It is said that King Charles II once caused his courtiers
considerable trouble by asking why a dead fish was heavier
ing to work out the problem, and invented many ingenious
a live one. He tested it for himself—and found that it was not
so. g
We take certain pessimistic sayings for granted just because they are often repeated. But that does prove them to be
true. ; '
Test this gloomy saying that religion is declining.
Of course, certain things in the religious world are changing. It is no longer fashionable to go to church. People do not
attend a'plaée of worship in order to be seen in church parade.
Certain religious observances do not carry nearly the weight
they did. On the other hand, people do not go to church on
Sunday mornings and think themselves justified in owning
slaves all the week, as they did a hundred or so years ago. Our
representatives in congress may, not quote Scripture overmuch. our congress today would never tolerate the conditions
that ‘obtained one hundred years ago. ,
1 do not for one moment believe that religion is declining.
I believe that the Spirit of Jesus Christ is speaking to this age
and generation more powerfully and effectively than in any
previous age. This is not merely in one’s own country, but all
over the world. Science has a new respect for religion. True,
than a live one. The clever men of his day spent months try . #
theories. But one day it occurred to one of their number to. .
make quite sure that a dead fish did really weigh heavier than}:

it is a materialistic age; we are.all feeling pretty helpless at the
growth of mass production.. But there is a very widespread uneasiness at the materialism of the age. There is a very genera!
feeling after religion. Enter a railway carriage, and it will not
that matters.
There is a very widespread fecline that war is wronc
not that war doesn’t pay, but that it is definitely wrong, a sin
against humanity. People may disagree with you when you
nut the Christian aspect on the matter, but they will listen, and
listen with respect. The old cynical view that war is resnectable noble is rejected by the common people of al! countries.
It offends the conscience of the world. It does so because religion has enlichfened the conscience of mankind.
Religion today is a very real and. vital force in our national and international life, even the upstart dictators of the
mast have proved that to attack its morals and principles bring
ruin to themselves, and any dictators of the future will hésitate directly to attack it. I say that notwithstanding what is

being done in certain countries today.
I am willing to grant that men of this generation are more
intolerant of cant, of ecclesiastical dominance, but . deny that
that means religion is declining. There is an unfortunate tendency in human nature to Ssterilise, to harden and formalise belief, to turn religion into forms and ceremonies. The old prophets waged fierce war against this tendency. Our Lord uttered bitter denunciations against the scribes and Prasisees of
His day because they had done this very thnig. No reader of
the Gospel can doubt where He stood in this matter. If the
peoples of the world today are impatient of “‘clericalism” that
is not to say that religion is declining. :
The spirit breatheth where it listeth, and thc Spirit of
God is abroad over the nations today. Let us take heart. Religion is not declining. But let us beware that it is not declining
in our own hearts; let us make quite sure that we are not become enslaved by the insidious tendency to formalism. Let us
follow the Spirit, believing that Christ still reigns and will lead
us to victory.
“A Plea For Old People” will be the subject of the, Reverend Angus Miller's sermonette next week.
