SAYS CIVILIZATION
CONFLICTS With CHURCH

Civilization in Conflict with Chris
tianity" was the topic Of the address
given at the meeting of the Methodist
Preachers Association at Grace NJ. Z.
Church this morning. when the Rev.
C. T. Anderson. pastor OF Harrison
Street NJ. Z. Church was the speaker.
Declaring that modern civilization IS
sharply in conflict in many aspects
with the faith OF the church, Mr.
Anderson said that test Of advance
in civilization is not what this ad-
vance takes away. but what it leaves
in the place OF the old.
But there Is danger in modern
times, that the march OF progress will
tear down too many OF the old land
marks which our fathers have set
Truth, honesty. right living do not
change and the task OF the church to-
day Is 10 see that the foundations OF
faith remain true even in the face Of
SOL called progress
DR.. Anderson mentioned especially
the tendency to use the Sabbath fol
working purposes and deplored the at
titude as placing desire for none,
ahead of the Christian virtues.
