Housing and sani- tation problems stared one in the face. Half a 'dozen railroads ran in. to the city. There were motion-pic- ture shows galore. Dance halls flourished. This was one aspect of the church's problem, Not that all of these features were necessarily bad, but they did raise important questions, which demana- ed anywérs. When one considered the possibilities for real service among the workers in the town the church was making scarcely a dent on this part of the population. There weren't many foreigners, either; virtually all of the "common" folks were Am- erican bom. But there was another group in that clty--the "upper-middle class," as they'd say In England. The group that includell the intellectual peo- ple, those who are supposed to stand for the best things in life. The preachers frankly said that they were not reaching this group, either. Instead of going to church, these people had formed a semi-religious open form, securing the best speak- . ors in the country to deliver lect- 'WHO SHALL INTERPRET LIFE ? Charles Stelzle. stirring our American life. The lectures were given on Sun- day afternoons. The preachers felt rather bitter about this arrange. ment. The looked upon the forum as their most formidable rival, al- though the churches held no service at the same hour. For this forum was evidently gripping the class which constituted the leaders, the very people the churches needed, bun couldn't get. The work being done by the forum was so close to that which the church was doing, of should be doing, that the rivalry be- came all the more bitter. : The people who did attend the churches in this town comsisted of the comparatively poor laborers, the ptorekeepers and clerks and some of the rich. They were not attracting the highly skilled and presumably the more intelligent men in the in- dustrifl group, and they had little hold upon the best-informed people among the middle class, Now, this probably is not at all typical of the average cily in this country. The churches in most citles and towns are usually made up of the most intelligent people tn the community. It would be foolish to deny this fact. But I'm not de- nylng anything. I'm stating what Pe the vital themes that are Ch in the | these pri evening by Dr. Paul Harrison "from | ©WR city. ail ages printed on bottle. Mother! You must say "California" or you | may get an imitation fig syrup. hers told me about ther | I've covered this country from end | to end and a good mady times. I've vicited industrial centres in particu- lar, Unless I am badly mistaken, the general tendencies are toward the sort: of thing that I am describing. This factory town in the middle west is typical of what is taking place in dozens--aye, hundieds of places | which have modern social and eco- nomic conditions. And this is peculiarly true of the smaller citles. The ministers are. be- coming disheartened. They go to | conventions and flock to confer-| ences to learn of some panacea | whereby this situation may be met. | There is no panacea. There can be | none, for no two towns and no two churches are exactly alike. Each town and each church demands in- dividual treatment, Evangelists may damn the young people because they want to dance. They may continue to declare thax motion-picture ¢hows are of the devil. One noted evangelist is offer- ing chess--a game for kings--as a substitute for all ather recreationa: | features. But all this isn't honestly facing the facts. No doubt the evangelist helps mightily a good many people. I thoroughly believe in the right sort of evangelism. But there's a great mass of people, both inside and outside the church, whicn the evangelist doesn't touch--not by a thousand miles. And, mark you, these people-- many of them, at any rate---are)per- fectly sincere. They are neither vile nor vicious, in spite of what the evangelist may say about them. /. Isn't it about time that we .stop- ped our everlasting cry, as church- es, that everything we don't like be shut up? No doubt there are many places which ought to be cioseq, and we should go after them hare. But isn't it a lot better to shut them up. by opening up sometning elss that will simply drive the evil in- fluence out of business? Must the programme of the church always be merely' destructive and negative? Can't. we work out something that will be positive and constructive? The institutional church is not of- forged as a cure-all. Few people know bow to run an institutional church suncessfully. Anyway, it's a bigger thing than mere sociability for which I'm pleading, important as soca: life undoubtedly is. These high- grade people who are out of the church are thinking people, They are comsclous of the big things that somebody must work out, or at leas: think through.- It is quite true that the church is not a social-reform agency mor a labor union nor even an open forum. But the church has declared, from its very beginning, that it held the only solution for these social pron- lems, for great problems have ar ways faced the people. We have al- ways been "on the verge of a great crisis." No, the church is not asked to go to the task of directing legislation or running amusement parlors; bm if the ministers In our churches are not prophets for the new y--if they cannot interpret|life in the biggest, broadest fashion---then the churches will continue to lose their grip upon the peopls who are efTh- est and sincere in' their desire to see the lght. , es.
