and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKEIS SEN

Did you read the article, "Now I'm
for the Churches, in The Readers
Digest, January 1941? It was well
worth the time and effort. Some of
the thoughts are apt to stick. Others
might cause you to seek a revalu-
alton of already settled viewpoints.
1t is liable to stir up a revolution
in your otherwise well balanced at
titude of mind toward certain in
stitutions functioning in this world
for the better or the worse of man.
kind. Now that is exactly what we
need. Man doesn't get along so well
in life unless there is something to
make him dissatisfied with himself
and rouse him out of his compla-
cency. Life is likely to become dull
and depressed if there is no demand
to rise and to improve itself. This
is the danger humanity faces right
now in spite of the hundred and one
things it pretends to be interested in
and busy with.
In time where humanity finds
itself uprooted socially, politically and
religiously it should be welcome news
to all of us, and especially to those
who know nothing about the churches
and what they are doing, that it "is
one institution on earth that has a
high opinion of man." God put us
here for purpose. Until we realize
that we shall be wasting our time
mn m offor xr,b AZ fx,y,o IF x,,orl> ,,,- 10
Some people get an immense amount
of good out of going to church, others
don't get anything. Why such diff
ference? The church's opinion is the
same of all people. There is no dis
elimination. All men are created
equal and should be considered as
such. The Christian message is based
on this equality of man, and uses as
its standard the Son of man because
we believe that He comes closer to
reveal God in human life than any
other human being that ever lived.
He who gets most out of church is
perhaps the one who goes out dis
satisfied with self. He has seen in
the Divine the beauty of life. His
whole attitude toward life is nodded
by a wish to lift himself to that plane
of equality with other men who have
shaped their lives after the man of
the gospel. Therefore he is gratified
with the service of the church. 1t
helps him to find his place in life
on the same level with other men.
1t gives him to understand that re-
ligion is not a lesson that can be
taught, but life that must be lived
and absorbed. He is no longer re-
sentful of the disturbing elements in
life, but rather thankful for anything
that will take him out of himself and
give him that new slant on life so
characteristic in the life of the STAN
dard-bearer of Christianity.
