We Must Go On or Go Under
The Methodist Episcopal church has
planned to celebrate the one hundredth
anniversary of the beginning of Metho-
dist missions by the only kind of cele-
bration that would fit this day. 1t has
girded itself to face adequately it's share
in the world task. In careful and
thorough way it has surveyed its world
field and estimated what it needs for
five-year term to attempt in a fair
measure of the Christianization of the
one hundred and fifty millions in the
mont Christian world for which it is sole
ly responsible. 1t is a program of large
dimensions, for small program in this
day would be none at all. 1t is the
most far-reaching, the most daring, per-
haps, ever undertaken by any church.
1t involves a consecration of life, of
prayer. and of money which is revolu-
-tionary. But the church cannot stay as
a leader in a revolutionary world with
out becoming revolutionary. But the
church cannot stay as leader in a rev.
olutionary world without becoming rev.
clutionary too. The program calls for
church on its knees, and an offering
OF hundreds of it's best sons and daugh-
tiers for world service and forty millions
of dollars.
1t is a crusade that is God timed.
Timed. it is true, in days of burden and
stress, but timed to a day when men
are thinking in larger terms and there
is moral sacrificial temper in the
hearts of men and a larger horizon to
their minds than ever before.
To accomplish this program means
nothing less to recover for the church
the horizon of Christ. II this is not
done. the church must sound a retreat
at time when the world outside the
~"eAS" 80 ihoNiHS iHto new age anu
drop back into a place of secondary I'M
portance in all that pertains to con-
structive spiritual leadership. We must
ego on or so under!'
1t can be done. The spirit of the
church must be mobilized. The Christ
Ian spirit Of adventure and OF faith must
be stimulated. We are come to the
Kingdom for such a time as this. Spirit
Is the one really recreative force in the
world. Change the spirit of the church,
and all else will follow, as the fruition
Of an intense life.
We must give the Christian emphasis
to words that in these days have burn
ed themselves into the memory of ev-
cry American. "a supreme moment OF
history has come" Our great and low
ed church, born with a world parish as
the destiny of her message and expert
ence, has squared herself to make her
world-task her supreme business "God
helping her. she can do no other. We
must all speak, act and serve together"
