Dr. E. A. Schaefer
Relates Needs of
Modern Theology
Scientific and mechanistic elements
and a flood of destruction-proof
creeds and dortrines are militating
against the Church of today, asserted
De. E. A Schaefer, general secretary
of the Board otqlome Missions of the
Reformed Church in the United States,
at Chapel serylies Sunday morning.
With the reversal of the order of
importance of the three main classes
in human society,. emphasis was plac
ed upon material instead of ideal
things, Doctor Schaefer said. As a
result of this the Church has lost
prestige. Closer relationship between
pulpit and congregation, a broader
'type of preaching, a rejuvinated min
istry, more loyal congregations and
a reorganization, of methods are need
ed to return tilt church to the im
pottant position it formerly occupied
in society.
