we cali JesiisJ our Redeemer. we
limit that great name to the function
Of saving souls. and we limit 1t so
much that with many the idea is as
seifish.ias the spirit Of the stock ex-
change. But the redemption Of our
Lord reached down to religion itself
for He threw Himself into the relig-
ion Of His day and redeemed it from
legalism. from the constraint OF Gus
TOM and conyentionality and turned
loose its spirit of Compassionate love
and helpful ministries to become a
new inspiration in every human en-
terprise and to crown mans labors
with multiplied blessings. .s
That is our work TODAY. To redeem
orr religion from the constraint al
custom or of fashion. from rules and
forms. from the regulations Of com
mittees and the order Of. set programs
and make ii life that gets al the
front ana takes the. lead In suapinr
sentiment. in setting the fashions. il
showingi the world the better way
