Problems of removing human misery
The moving force Of ali social forces
is relifiQn. Chief business. of the
church. is. to bring men and women
Into true relationship TO God. The
church ought to insist on the sin
fulness of sin. The church must
emphasize that God is the God OF
Law as well as the God of Love
The church must insist that men
are brothers. The churcn must give
more attention to the training OF the
young people. The cnu.Cn m.s'
apply the gospel to the need OF the
world. The church must be social
factor in the eommunity-must re,
place those things that are harmful
and removed witn something TO re-
build. The church must place the
same valuation upon men as Jesus
did. Solo, Miss, Margaret Jones
