Some of these new topics are as FOL!

Under such cIassificatfons as these Il

church would have the attention Of
mankind, to state the old truths az Inc

With the ascertained facts OF the
new world situation and a new classi.
fcatton OF human interests before the
church, It is now necessary to create
an entirely fresh literature, and to de.
wise new measures Of missionary and

in our Industrial centers and agricul.
tural areas assumes new interest and

OF sound ideals Of civic responsibility.
Never before has the nation been 50
exposed to the decentralization of mate

The nation moves toward destruction
for lack Of ethical knowledge and

the duty OF the Church OF Christ to
provide the nation today with an in,

OF education in which the facts OF daily
actifity are related to the eternal law
Of life as revealed in Christ.
So much for the realm of thought
for the creation of fresh vocabulary
Now as to the realm of action. The
word must become flesh, action; II
must be energized. The consideration
OF this subject leads us directly into
the field Of ecclesiastical organization
and operation, and in this field there is
lamentable lack of clear thinking and
firm conviction. The world Is extreme
