Il sec in this city the most changing
population OF any city in the world.
Changes in religious habit OF thought
and worship are wont to follow changes
elsewhere. The vital problems Of this
city are appalling in their immensity
and In their compiexity. Greeks, Slavs,
Turks and the immigrants from Asia,
Europe and Africa and the islands OF tn"

mass are not being reached religiously
by any organized endeavor To pursue
the primrose path Of pure Anglican the
oiogy amid such a company will satisfy
the few but will certainly lose the
masses.
THE day has come when our church
must realize that changing conditions
are demanding CORE spending changes in
the lessons we teach and in the methods
we employ"
