Christianity Demands Active Witnesses

with contributions from Francis B. Sayre, James Reid, William H. P. Hatch, Charles G. Girelius

Francis B. Sayre The Chaplain Washington, District of Columbia

In the years lying immediately ahead Christians ought to be the most active people on earth. For men and women all over the world now are coming to realize, as a result of two world-shattering wars, that unless we can learn to build the new world upon brotherhood our civilization will be blown to bits.

Christianity is not merely a beautiful dream of the past. It is not a way of escape. It is an intensely practical way of life for here and now, for men and nations. Whether western civilization ultimately crashes into chaos and nothingness or whether it flowers into one of the greatest civilizations yet known to man depends inescapably upon whether pagan or Christian principles ultimately come to shape and dominate it.
