age could conceal 1lfs soul from Christ.
The more debased it was, the more
did He desire to purify 1t and place it
where it would shine.
THUS did Christ teach world-em-
bracing philanthropy, a doctrine never
before known. These teachings are
direct result of which is our modern
democracy, which in turn is almost a
synonym of modern civilization.
Takes Up Whole Man.
christianity takes up the whole man
and the whole sphere of his action.
The individual is the organizing unit,
and, as such, all our efforts to reform
society must center in human person
ality. Every man has an essential
dignity and worth, no matter how hid
den it may be. All our social institu-
lions, the family, the church, and the
state, are but instruments for the de-
velopment of the individual. They do
not exist for their own sake, but for
the elevation of the individual. Christ's
conception of society WAS a communion
of free and responsible persons. Thus,
every individual becomes an end with
in himself, and with a mission to per-
form. On every individual, therefore,
depends the structure or society.
Every institution built among men
must have its roots in the moral order
of things if it shall be permanent"
