CHURCH INFLUENCE
FOR SOCIAL REFORM
IS SLOW BUT SURE
Rauchcnbusch Now Writes j
to Prove the Vitality of
Christianity in Its Fight
With Modern Evils.
PROFESSOR WALTER
RAUCHENBUSCH
Prof. "Walter Raunhenbuech, of tha
(Rochester Theological Seminary, author
of "Christianizing the Social Order" and
many other books widely ltnown to the
elorgy of the country, has written a
strong defense of the Church at the
request of a group of men Interested In
making manifest the social Implication of
the Gospel In Baltimore.
And this group of men, Tvho aro con
ducting an advertising campaign to ad
vance the Interests of the Church, gave
Doctor Itauchonbusch's statement pub
licity In half-page advertisements In dally
newspapers of the Monumental City.
The defense of tho Church was writ
ten in answer to the question, "Will the
Church Disappear?" and was in part as
follows:
"In 1913 the Church in the- United States
had 27.250,370 members. Have you ever
tried to heft the weight of those figures?
All other volunturv organizations look
puny oompared with that.
"The churches lament that they have
not got more. We ought to wonder that
they have so many. To -win, to hold, to
organize such vast numbers 13 an
enormous social achievement and proof
positive of social efficiency.
"It Is moro afitonishlng because the
Church Is an Idealistic organization and
makes Its appeals chi fly to the highest
Instincts In us. But tho higher your ap
peal, the fewer will respond. Any evolu
tionist will tell you that.
"If there -were no such organizations as
the churches, the finest minds would
dream of creating something like them.
"Wjould our people maintain and equlj
about 35,000 church organizations unless
those who pay the monev and do tne
volunteer work felt that they were get
ting something out of them?
THE CHURCH CAN FIGHT
"Unless our experience has been espe
cially unfortunate, ws all know that the
Church doo steady and re-onforco our
straggling moral nature. It quietly irri
gates th5 soil of our life with spiritual
aspirations.
The Church can flsht, though, -when
wused. It has fought to a standstill ono
of the Dteseat financial Interests and one
of tha most seductive social Institutions
in the countrr. And It has done It almost
aincle-handed.
"If ever tin Church lines up against
war and Industrial exploitation as tt has
lined up against the liquor traffic, w
nhall date a new era. Tho Church Is
slow. It surety Is. But remember In fair
ness that the Chirroh t not a picked club
of a few radicals, but a cross section of
the -whole nation. It is slow because It
Include tie conservative masses. The
roan tn a hurry does not realize how slow
ly the mass of humanity moves and
changes.
"It tooJca century to create, the preant
JnBret In foreign missions in tho
churches It has talren about 80 years
to educate the churches up to their pres
ent convictions on the liquor question, and
even now come denominations are luke--warm.
Only In recent years have we
learned how to roeet the liquor trade In
IioUtlcs.
"It has) taken all the time since the
Clrll TTar to make the leaders of the
Church realize that our capitalistic sys
tem will eat up the nation If tt Is allowed
to obey Its own greed. The ehurches
have always heen for peace In theory.
Perhaps this great war will consolidate
their sentiment to the point of action
"Ton think this la slow progress. It 1st
Can you show any equal body of people
that has moved faster? Elevating the
morality of a nation Is like lifting a sky
pRaoer with Jaokscrewa.
-rf It were a matter of free beer now
or a new sex dane. the people would
run after you. But if you urge a purer
tiuth or a higher Justice on men. you
Jjave our Job cut out for you. Be pa
tient with those who are trylD to edu.
cate the Church.
Some think the Church wtu melt away
anU disappear, ah nisiory is againei me
assumption aii inatary 10 in javur
tile proposition that the Church can be
made mucn Dener or mucn worse man it
Is now. The question is not between
having a Church or having none, but be
tween having a wise Church or a blind
one; between having a progressive Church
or a atandpat Church.
WHAT THE CHURCH NEEDS.
"The Church needs four things espe
cially today:
"First. Frisndjbip for thoe who earn
their living and independence from thoie
Khi do not
Second. Co-operation among the de
nominations on a basis of Christian
equality and mutual rpct.
Third A sincere aiu imw cm
.vhenjlon of tb social causes of atn and

'Fourth. An undying determination to
Kt the will of Cod realized in the organ
ized life of every community and to sea

The fruits of a man's labor can
never be measured by Immediate ob
servation Sometimes the seed that
itaits the Rieatest accomplishments
loes not htliiK forth fruit until years
ifter It has been planted. Sometimes
the poron who sows the seed nevet
jees It sprout and grow strong.
There Is no work In life to which
this rule applies so surely ns religious
work.
It li disappointing. Indeed, for clergy
men to pieach to audiences that do not
seem to be llstoiiliur. it is trying
upon the faith of Christian workers
In jouiiR people's mcolltiBS to see the
icii Is whispering and Rlggllnp. and the
hms slouching back In their sent
with dosed eyes, or shooting wads of
.aper orros the room.
Hut no elcrg.Mnan or church worker
hnuld permit the pangs of disappoint
ment to control his life when he seem'
C no weakest and his audience seems
in he the most unresponsive
Vot infrequently jut at such times
a tiny seed of thought teaches the
mini of n nulet .outli far back In a
Inrk corner, and years afterward we
rind It developed, and the one-time
oitli has become a great ptcaeher,
fir a Christian business or professional
nan. whose good works are known
iround the world.
John Wanamaker. ox-Postmaster
leneral. merchant and philanthropist,
enjojs telling of his conversion. A
real country boy, with mud on his
urines, he occupied a back seat tn a
imall hall when a hat-maker spoke
hrleflv of the benefit and pleasure the
'hristlan life offered to young men
'T was only 1S years old then, but
f felt that was Just what I needed."
a s Mr. Wanamaker, "so I took that
hatter's advice, and have found It
the het that has come Into my life.
And that young hatmakcr, then poor
an.1 struggling, and I became fast
f- ends and continued to be until
he died "
Tet us keep faith with ourselves
as -we stroll along the pathway of life,
and let us never forgot that God works
In a nnsterlous wn, and sometimes
uses the weakest of us at the mo
ments that seem most Inopportune,
to sow the seed that Is to bring forth
t in finest harvest In the future
The door of opportunity for doing
gn.id Is always open to n faithful

GLEANINGS FROM
RELIGIOUS PRESS
Friends are not best because they're
merely old.
But only old because they proved the
best. S. Weir Mitchell.
Love of God and love of country are
the two noblest passions In the human
heart. A man without a country is an
exile tn the world, and a man without
God la an orphan In eternity Henry Van
Dyke.
SNAP SHOTS
One. worries with a thousand frets:
The future dreads, the past regrets;
Thinks much of self, and God forgets;
Can this bo I? Can this be you?
Another smiles in glad content;
Recounts tho blessings God has sent;
Faces the future confident;
Which one Is I? Or, which one you?
Frank T. Bell, in the Christian Advo
cate. A SUGGESTION'
It Is well for every pastor to keep In
close touch with every one of his young
people who are starting away to school
and college this fall. Lt him not only
know their addresses, so as to correspond
with them, hut 1st him write to the Pres
byterian university pastor, or, where
there Is none, to the college president or
local pastor, speaking of each student
and making suggestions as to the forms
of Christian work In which they might
be enlisted. For lack of this there is
sometimes a sad intermission of Chris
tian activity Herald and Presbyter.
What the. sinning world needs Is not
more law, but more love; not an austere
Judge, but an ardent lowr.-Liberty.
