The church, therefore. had not
only the task Of proelaining the
worth Of the individual. but also
the supreme obligation TO help the
individual attain the highest type
Of character through the impact
Of Christ upon his life. Only good
men and good women can insure
. good society. Today the demo-
cratic theory Of government 10
challenged; some Of its weak
nesses have been exposed. But not
too late. We are learning and
seeking TO correct those weak
nesses. and not least OF which Ia
the need Of men and women whose
standards are above the merely
material.
Recent Origin

mocracy has more recently been
evidenced In ths field Of industrial

age" huge factories and large scale
employment were workmen. A
manufacturer Of those days was
himself q worker who had 4 few

But with inventions come In
creased production and larger
numbers OF workers. Ownership
was often absent, close contact of
employer and worker decreased.
Finally there arose conditions in
England that were appalling 10
say the least. We need only to
read some OF the novels OF that
day to learn the hard and horrible
conditions under which the indus
trial worker had TO live. Such con-

strife between labor and capital could be expected until the
two groups got together the thought that all
good things should be shared by all Excerpts from his
sermon follows:
The emphasis that Jesus laid upon the dignity and worth
OF human personality influenced in uncertain way the
