spirit. That is why it has survived
and Withstood all the opposing evil
forces of the ages and is today
greater and more potent than ever.
At the moment the thought of
the world is turned toward religion.
More headlines have been given to
it recently in the press than for a
generation past. Eighty thousand
persons recently paraded the
streets of Philadelphia in testimony
of their loyalty to the church. More
important yet, all sorts of folk. many
of them not identified with the
church, are giving serious consid-
Grafton to the relation of religion to
the present crisis and to the new
world order. The motives that will
sustain society run down deep into
the relationship of man with his
Maker. Like Lincoln, multitudes are
being driven to their knees because
they have nowhere else to go.
Three PuZzling Problems.
Three broad aspects of the pres
ent religious situation in the United
States and Canada are impressive.
The first is that at the top-in its
general and denominational bodies
the church is more highly organ
lied than ever before. There are
more general secretaries and "ex-
perts" employed, and more salaried
men and women, and more big
buildings in use than has ever
heretofore been the case. Official
leaders" are egion-though the
leadership is more in evidence than
the following Money-raising is
major concern of these highly Or
ganized bodies; night and day they
echo the cry of the horse leech's
daughters, Give! Give! Give!"
Second characteristic Of the re-
ligious aspect of the times is a slump
in the local congregations. Church
attendance and church membership
are not keeping pace with the days
needs. 1ndiferentism and perfume
torineSs have laid a paralyzing hand
upon countless congregations. The
individual churches are, for the
greater part, in the doldrums.
Third of the outstanding facts
about religion in our time is that the
great mass of people, in and out of
the churches, are more concerned
over spiritual questions than at any
time within the memory of man.
This is shown by the popularity of
religious books and magazine and
newspaper articles and radio talks.
Men are asking themselves the old
est questions. about God and our
relation to Him, and about eternal
destiny.
How to relate these three condi-
tions to one another is perhaps the
