his words is demonstrated by the thousands who through his appeals have been led to Christ. We are nearing the end of the century. Looking back over the events in the religious world which have marked its history, one characteristic is prominent above all others. It is the operation of the force to which an eminent writer has given the name of "spiritual dynamics." The world does not need a dogma, or a creed, so much as it needs power. It needs power to live right, to do right, to love God and man, to pity the fallen, to relieve the needy, the power of being good, of leading a spiritual life. This power it finds in Christ and the whole tendency of the religious life of the century is to get back to him. Conduct rather than creed, love rather than theology, have been the watchwords of the church. The spirit of Christ, His teachings, His character, His example, are the centre of attraction which holds His church together and endues it with the power which shall yet subdue the world. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK NOTABLE EVENTS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY*** ******* This file should be named 15824.txt or 15824.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/5/8/2/15824 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
