[The Living Church]

Not to be neglected is the preparedness that lies in the quality of citizenship and the character of public opinion, in deepened popular convictions of right and justice between man and man and between nations; a steadfast stand against the devastating march of ignorance and greed and against their consequent evils; renewed loyalty to and reliance upon the family as the unit of society; the ending of the present rate of infant mortality; the conserving of child-life and adequate training of youth; the welding of these incoming folk of all kindreds and tongues into a worthy citizenship; the attainment of finer relations between man and man; the reconciliation of clashing classes and the reintegration of society through the realization of a truer social organism, by the people and for the people, bound together by the bonds of a real brotherhood, as the kingdom of God comes upon the earth. Here lie manifold tasks for Christian men and women, tasks wherein the church of the Son of man is to be not without interest and share, as an instrumentality of that kingdom of God.

[The Methodist Recorder]
