Signs of the Times

with contributions from Edward Bok, C. C. Rarick

[From the Living Church, Milwaukee, Wisconsin]

The great practical value of the Bible is that it is constantly bringing us to an issue. The tendency with us is to grow acquiescent with the standards we accept from our class, surroundings, or day. We make our constant little easy compromises. We come to measure ourselves by what society expects. The Bible sets before us the stern demands of God. It is never easy-going. It deals roughly with our satisfaction and our self-confidence. It runs athwart of easy deductions as to what life means. It is well for us to have a standard of thought and action which is high and does not bend to our desires. Where the Bible is read its influence upon private and social life is marked.
