Show PROGRESSIVE OPINION EDITORIALS By C. N. LUND O SERM N TTE IT IS a modern tragedy that church and social teachi gs have been unable to reach the majority of Americans who are rural and industrial workers. The modern church's ignorance of the needs of the masses and its lack of a program to meet their needs are also symptoms of our failure to recognize the social nature of personality. The individual cannot live unto himself; he cannot be saved by himself. . . The church muat be concerned with the way people make their living because this is one of the chief ways personalities are made and marred. Whenever Christianity retreats from man's material concerns it fotces men to become materialists, leaving them no reason to seek any further for reality. Rev. Dr. John B. Thompson. |
