that'll take the rest of

leges ‘and clubs. But the churches
came first, After three centuries of
experience, this nation still believes
in churches, They may differ widely
from one another in faiths and forms
of worship. But, jointly and severally,
they justify taeir existence.
In the fight for democracy against
dictatorship throughout the worid,
churches and synagogues are in the
forefront of the hottest battle. They
stand for freedom of conscience with-
out which no freedom is secure. Close
the Bible, and what becomes of a free
press? Silence the pulpit, and what is
left of free speech?
Domination of the community by
groups and parties is impossible if
people of all sorts meet in church as
friends and render allegiance to an
Authority that is supreme over the
universe.
The value of a church to society—
the sermons, the sacraments, the mu-
sic, the missions, the hospitalities and
the pastoral services of the clergy be-
hind the scenes—is to be measured
by a two fold standard. A church does
good; a church prevents evil.
Churches remind us of the weak
who are apt to be trampled under
foot, of the sufferers who yearn for
sympathy, of the bereaved who cry
out for consolation, of strangers ag-
ainst whom prejudice is apt to be 10-
mented, of failures in life who want
to make a fresh start.
Membership in a church provides a
common interest that helps to hole
homes together which otherwise migh’
be less securely united. Children with-
in a church form friendships with
other children, similarly situated, ana
are less liable to drift into the no-
man’s-land where juvenile delinquency
is a danger.
Every institution is apt to be con.
servative and even reactionary. Every
institution needs to be adapted .to
changing conditions. But they who
hastily condemn churches as obsolete,
condemn themselves. For churches are
ers of Jesus must endeavor to see the
faces behind the figures of unempioy-
ment, of crime statistics, of war's cas-
ualties. We must try to put ourselves
so vividly in the place of the person
out of work that we can feel the ache
in his soul and the drag in his steps
as he climbs the stairs after his
fruitless search and shakes his head
in the face of his hoping wife and
children. When we talk about ‘the joy
of the job,’ we must try to understand
the monotony of the factory worker

who stands day after day pulling a
lever or hammering bolts into car bod-
ies on a moving platform before him.
When we denounce the injustices of
the industrial system, we must think
of those individual conscientious em-
ployers who are themselves caught in
a competitive system where chiselers
undermine fair practices, and in the
clutches of a capitalistic order with its
conflict of loyalties to employees, to
stockholders, and to that great third
party, the public.

Pastor, M. B. Church, Patton, Pa.
“ONE LOVING HEART SETS
ANOTHER ON FIRE.”
Dr. Ralph W. Sockman, in his re-
cent book, “Recoveries in Religion,”
says that: “The individual religious
seeker requires a group experience to
correct, safeguard and reinforce his
cwn.
When believers come together in
common search something is given
to the individual through fellowship.
‘One loving heart sets another on fire.’
While at times the individual seems
not only divine. They are human. They
are what men and women enable
them to be.
This year of grace, 1939, chalenges
civilization. To uphold civilization is
the urgent task. It is not wholly a
matter for surprise that churches
should be appraised afresh as an ally
of society in its hour of grave uncer-
tainty.”

to come closer to God in solitude than
in the group, the testimony of experi-
ence is, in Evelyn Underhill’'s words,
‘crdinary people at all levels help each
other to be a little more supernatural
than each could have been alone.’ En-
trance into a well conducted service
of public worship is similar to the
entrance of a ship into the locks of a
canal. The sluice gate is closed behind
the boat, the gate is opened in front
of it, and water flows under the keel,
lifting it steadily until the ship soon
sails away on its new and higher lev-
el. So it is with the worshipper. The
gate of his mind is closed to selfish
interests of his existence, and the slu-
ice_gate of his spirit is opened toward
God. Then, through architecture and
symbolism, through music and scrip-
ture, through prayer and message, the
‘waters of life’ begin to flow under
him, lifting his ppirits quietly but
surely, until an hour later he sets off
on a new and higher level, carrying
his cargo of public and private respon-
sibilities.”
A writer in the January issue of
the Commentator, says: “Many of us
have vague ideas of religion. We care
little for creeds and ceremonies. We
leave the churches to the clergy and
spend our time elsewhere.
Some of us, however, have been
startled out of our indifference. We
are not as sure as we used to be that
a world without churches is the world
in which we want to live. We feel a
need, and wonder whether churches
might not meet this need.
What arouses us is a contrast. In
some countries churches are respected.
In other countries churches are hu-
miliated. Whatever may be our be-
liefs, we know which kind of country
we prefer. Millions are eager to enter
countries where churches are active.
Millions are. eager %o escape from
countries where churches are sup-
pressed. f Wk
