social service-the five lines of work
which the Men and Religion movement
is taking up.
Most of what we have accomplished,
he said, in Christianity is due to SUI
perlative efforts. A living church is
needed to keep firm the bulwarks OF
our civilization; the home, brotherly
love, missions. We should give out
| loyalty to the church, which from its
long history of glorious achievement
has won a place that We're it vacant
would send us back to barbarism.
The clergy must be supported by
members who do not neglect daily BIZ
! BILE reading, prayer, family prayers and
! devotion to missions. Bible study and
work among boys are two of the weak
est points in the church work of today.
/ In the home the boy should find that
! his father is competent to instruct him
( in Bible truths. If there We're more
! family affairs there would be fewer
| family skeletons in the closets.
The Laymen's Missionary movement
| furnished a pattern for the Men and
| Religion movement. Every Christian
man should know 1.-THE facts in regard
| to missions. He should see the neces-
sity of strengthening missions at home
and propagating them in foreign coun-
tries. Social service means doing I'M
OUTFITS as We WOuIu llldl l4SL SIiuG4u
do to you" 1t is shown in three ways
| Voting, as stewards of our money, and
/ visiting and helping our friends in
| trouble If we are true to our princi-
pies as Christians We should be on
the lookout for chances to help. The
hardships of the working classes should
be mitigated Many problems here can
/ be solved by an enlightened conscience.
Go more than half way to make the
wage Garner feel the brotherly love and
sincerity of the church. Do something
for the man who is down and out. Give
| the incoming races thought and care.
Consider the child. Suffer little
children to come unto Me" The test Of
! a community is it's treatment of the
child and of the poorest family in the
worst tenement. The time for Coop
Grafton has come a united front must
be shown for efficieng service. Christ
prayed that His disciples might be one.
We are finding today a common ground
; on which we can stand. Christian peo-
pie are not intent mostly on fighting
each other, but the common enemy, in
order to bring about the very thing
that Christ prayed for.
