''Why SOP" inquired James.

SPINDLING ISSUES
BY DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
The Rev. Harry Emerson Fosdick the 9TH
er day, in an address before the internaton-
al convention of Young Mems Christian as
sociations, said that the trouble with Chris
tianty today is that it is not presenting the
real issues of the times, but is keeping the
foreground cluttered up with spindling is
sues"
These issues he defined as denomination
alism, theological disputes, and unimportant
differences Of opinion" He added that
while men are aware that great issues are
involved, they do not hear Christianity
speaking on the real issues, and therefore,
they are justified in their indifference to re-
ligion.
THE Bible" he said talks good biology
when it says that we are all made Of one
blood. And" he continues, 1--WE must reach
back to the fact of human unity and lead
mankind back into real unity again. The
fate of the nations depends upon it,
Christ" Dr. Fosdick went on, preached
against racial prejudice. He preached against
it on the day when He went back to Nazareth
and preached his sermon in His hometown
church. But today we let the foreground fill
1p with things that don't matter. can re-
member in my former church utilization dis
putes over how much water should be used
for baptism. I am not telling of disputes in
some other churches because l am trying to
be polite Christ never pressed small issue
in His life
One of the fundamental issues, DR.. Fosdick
said was involved in the fact that on one
side is ranged eternal God, revealed in Jesus,
and on the other materialistic philosophy
of life. "Materialism," he said, "takes the
shine out Of existence. I will not excommu-
nicate any man who takes his stand on
Gods side in this issue.
II am long way from Rome But the
other day I went into st. Patrick's cathe
dral in New York, heard wholesome Chris
tian sermon, and worshipped God. A few
days ago l went to Quaker meeting house
and worshpped God there. Catholics and
Quakers are not so far apart as are those
distant from both Catholics and Quakers
who adhere to a materialistic philosophy of
life. Lots of men we call Indifferent would
really take their stand with God if we gave
them a chance.
1--WE have been trying through the CEN
turtles to make two irreconciable philoso-
phies of life lie down together in peace. Be-
fore scott at the kaiser too loudly let us
look to ourselves. How many still praise
God out of one side of their mouths and
praise war out of the other? The gospel
and organized slaughter cannot exist togeth-
er. The question is not one of Christ and
war, but of Christ or war;
DR.. Fosdick said that war which is en-
tered into in an unacceptable emergency was
one thing, and the war system another.
Let us have human brotherhood indus
trial righteousness and a world peace against
the old regime These are the real issues.
Thus we will be lifting up Christ before men
so that they will come unto Him"
