How much do you read the Bible?
Do you know it was a “best seller” be-
fore we used the term? That millions
of copies are sold each year? Do you
know that it is the most graphic and
! unintelligent for anyone to remain ig-
dramatic book on earth, more absorb- |
ingly interesting than a modern mys-
tery novel? That it has been translat-
norant of it?
The Bible, which has been the lead-
ing “best seller” in the United States
for generations, is still also the best
seller in Germany in spite of the com-
petition of Hitler's Mein Kampf, which
is practically compulsory reading. Ac-
cording to the Prussian Bible Society
the Bible has outsold Mien Kampf by |
about 200,000 copies yearly in the six
years since the Nazis assumed power.
Evidently the Bible is worth study-

| THE INDIVIDUAL WILL AND THE
COLLECTIVE WILL.
1 Obviously, if religion is to influence
ife, it cannot be embodied in per-
I: sonal attitudes alone. The principles
and spirits of it must be embodied 1n
i the social order, for whatever is in the
social order, converts, in large meas-
ure, those under that order.
If religion turns over the social, the
| economic, and the political to other
ways of life, and hopes to influence
the individual through personal con-
tacts, it will be fighting a losing bat-
tle. The situation 1s loaded against its
success. True, it will influence individ-
uals here and there, and we must be
grateful for that influence, but it
makes religion the occasional and the
marginal instead of the central form-
ative fact in life.
Shall we rescyge individual slaves
and leave untouched the slave traffic?
Shall we pick up individual drunkards
and leave untouched the liquor traf-
fic? Shall we gather up the wounded
in war and attend to them and leave
the war system operative? Shall we
pick up the derelicts of a ruthlessly
competitive order and give them doles
and handouts, or shall we put justice
and the love of God into the order so
that this shall be unnecessary ?
Obviously, we must do both, for evil
can be in the individual will and it
can be in the collective will. There is
such a thing as an evil soul and there
is such a thing an an evil system. If
we do not undertake to cure evil in
the social order, then religion becomes
an ambulance corps in human lie
picking up the wounded instead of a
banner leading the army.
In the film, ANTHONY ADVERSE,
religion is seen tending to sick slaves
and rescuing the aged and the infirm
from cruelty, but doing nothing to stop
the slave traffic itself. It was only
softening the system; it was not chang
ing it.
When we make the Kingdom of God
into a merely personal thing, we turn
into a personal insurance policy what
God intended to be a charter of social
and personal redemption.
If the objection is raised that if you
get sufficient individuals converted,
you will thereby of necessity change
the social order, our reply is that this
does not necessarily follow. For the
social order is not made up of individ-
uals now living—it is made up of in-
herited attitudes ,insfitutions, customs,
laws, and these exist, in large meas-
ure, independently of the individual
wills now living. Change those indivi-
dual wills and you do not of necessity
change the social order, unless you
organize those changed individual wills
into social action on a large scale, fron-
tal attack upon those corporate evils.
In the city of Wellington in South
Africa, in front of the church where
Andrew Murray gave forty years of
beautiful ministry, there is a statue of
him seated in an armchair with an op-
en Bible in front of him, his saintly
face looking toward the cross roads.
The colored people reverence him very
greatly, and on their way to the li-
qgour shops they will not pass by this
statue lest Andrew Murray see them,
but go round by some side lane. The
moral influence of Murray was, and is,
very, very great. But it is a losing bat-
tle he is fighting against drink. For
ing. Come to the Mid-week Bible class | by statute it had been made legal to
and see for yourself—that it is one of
ed into practically all languages and the most interesting, stimulating, in-
dialects? That it is a continuous story spiring, uplifting and entertaining
of the relation of the human race to books in the world.

pay off these colored laborers in li-
quor as a part of their wages. The
moral suasion of Murray was great
and very beautiful but utterly inade-
quate against an evil that had become
embodied in the social order.
Change the individual wills of both
the laborers and the employers and it
will not be enough unless you organ-
ine those individual wills into col-
lective action to extirpate that social
evil, rooted in aconomic greed.
Most of the empolying farmers are
deeply religious men, but oblivious of
this social evil, for religion in South
Africa has been and is interpreted in
very personal terms.
You could change every single per-
son in the world today by an individ-
ual conversion, and unless you put
the content of social change into that
individual conversion your social order
will remain exactly what it is.
As Dr. Halford E. Luccock says: “By
sinking individual wells in your back
yard you don’t thereby have a city wa-
ter system.” I repeat—if the Kingdom
fo God is totalarian, then it must take
in the whole of life, and life includes
both the social and the personal.—Dr.
E. Stanley Jones.
