"SyStCmizat ion and specialization haze
done away with old tim" methods which
brought folks together in sacrificing tor
nj h,.r nd y
long hours and odd hours for work, and
So many new forms OF amusc mcnt have
had a great tendency to break up quiet
ness uf homo life and association IT
families in n-ishborly way.
These conditions are not OF our
choosing. but have came os natural
development. Our concern as Christians
is to keep alive not only the spirit. but
the practice Of 'hrotherly love Some
have sought To express their bruthcriy
love by proxy. giving largely to pni!an-
thropy but losing the personal touch.
W" can even hcrumc lost in the arGar;-
