By Rev. Maitland Alexander, D.D.

Fellow Members of the Presbyterian Church. I come to speak to you here tonight in the face of all that we have heard today, and of a great deal that we have heard in the past few years, concerning some great movements which have characterized the modern advance in Christian practice; to speak to you in behalf of the underlying thing which makes what we have heard tonight of men and the Christian religion a possibility. That institution and organization upon which every part of the superstructure of the conquest of the world for Jesus must rest. That organization is the Church of the living God.
