Excerpt from The Pulpit and American Life
In this time of social rebuilding, it is well to turn the thought to the forces that are really creative and constructive. The popular thought is too apt to be superficial. Men talk of stabilizing the world when they mean only return to normal production. They forget that the world has been shaken by the clash of great ideals - and that peace is a spiritual attain ment - only through justice and mercy and humility. Christianity has to do with the contests of our age and is involved in their outcome.
