! 1t is significant that today the real
leaders OF the negro churches are
seeking to emphasize the fact that re-
ligion has to deal with the whole life
of the man. His intellectual as well
as his emotional, his volitional and his
social life are to be related accord.
ing to the ethical principles of Jesus
They are still waiting as we have
often done, for the hand OF skilful
artist who will paint for them in
terms of their own life the personal
life of Jesus in such a way that he
will attract their whole being. One
man said, The great moral needs of
common life have convinced me that
exhortation has done it, work; inter,
probation must follow"
The relation of the church to the
betterment OF these conditions is a
subject by itself. There is a hostility
to most innuences for evil as far as
the leaders are concerned, but when
one studies the ranks of the church
leaders who are positively in favor OF
better things, he looks in vain for
many of the real professional leaders
and business heads of the race.
When asked for an explanation, two
widely different answers were given
by trained leaders; perhaps the real
answer lies between. One said that
the professional men and business
men are temperamentally hostile to
the church. They are of no value be.
cause of their too liberal views and
their personal pride. The other said
that these men might now be in the
ranks of the church II it were not for
the fact that the church leaders want.
ed to decide everything and that these
men had no chance to utilize their
qualities of Independent and trained
leadership which has secured them
their places in the world.
1t seems self-evident that there is a
great place for such men in the church
and that in all probability as the
church opens up larger fields of op-
portunity for social and community
services. these men who have been
especially trained and who have
shown special qualifications in such
leadership, will be the co-workers
with the pastor to make the church an
everincreasing force in the commun-
ity life.
