1. What about social relation- ships? Read the Sermon on the Mount and watch for soeial implica- tions! What was the purpose of His parables? Note how He exemplifies the meaning of brotherliness and neighborlinem in his story of the good Samaritan! See Him, tho a Jew. mingling with Publicans and sinners! Hear Him urge the woman m in nduItery to return to her Let us see how Christianity has addressed itself to the world on the two great subjects which have to do with civilization. in single handed the social evils of His day. These principles have tak- en hold of the minds of men and are bearing fruit. Cliristianity. in rerent ynam has concerned “self zrnatl)‘ about social conditions. It ha: atiarkml the m-ils: by which satiety was rlisfimirml. And many of (hose evils have been plim- mated {mm our social life. The abo- lition of the curse of alcohlism was just as praise-worthy. The attack upon the social evil gives promise of A better civilization. Christianity, as an institution. organized in many ca- pacities. is stimulating tho urogress of society by extending and purify- ing social relations. lt Wat divine wisdom and infallible tact which causâ€" ed the Teacher of Galilee to throw out great principles of social relaâ€" tions instead of immediately attack- Th1- pmgrvus of society in munml by carrying to higher pt-rfcrtion the filllionlhips botwnm men by mm- of vxlrrnnl ornniutinns Ind initi- tutions, The «lmrlopniont of the in dIviduni is «townclent upon ntimuli to moral and intclirctml «Hort. flu Christianity contributed anything tn than?

Perhaps had he written his book in the twnntieth‘ century he would not haie made tho' assertion. i 1 like the definition of C. 8. Henry, Ph. 13., formerly professor of the Philosophy of History in the Univer- sity of New York City. He writes, “Civilization is an improved condi- tion of men resulting from the es- tablishment of social order in place of the individual independence of sa- vage or barbarous life." The history of civilization is the history of the PROGRESS of the human race to- ward the realization of the highest‘ ideals of humanity, thru the exten- sion and perfection and purification of social relations. Civilization is pro~ grew. Has Christianity contributed anything to progress? We must «le- termine upon the meaning of pro- gram before we can proceed with our Investigation. I think this is point- ed out clearly by (iuizot in his "Hluv tory of European Civilization." "in text bank was written nearly a lum- dmi year! ago but there lmn been nothing produced in more recent years which in an same and logical an in» \‘utigntion of the uuhject. llc raw, “The two leading lulu which toxe- thrr constitute civilization luv the- pmxn-M of nocirt)‘ and "if dcsrlup- merit of the individual." Then “l'ro- gnu on it npplieu to civilization Mu both a racial am] no imlhiniull mâ€" [fie mm ml While some have been heralding the blessings and benefits of civiliza< tion there have been others who have raised the question as to whether civilization after all is a good or an ‘evil. One writer laments that ad- vancing civilization teems with mis- chief for man. But this writer has a wrong conception of civilization. He goes on to define it as “The multipli- cation of artificial wants and of the means and refinements of physical enjoyment." if that were all there is to civilization undoubtedly its ad- vancement would be an evil. Orators and journalists delight in recounting the blessings and bene- fits of civilization. But many writers and journalists have a very inade- quate conception of civilization. It in so general in its character that m essence is difficult to discover; so complicated that its problems can scarcely be unravelled. CHRISTIANITY AND CIVILIZATION By The Rev. 1.

It develops the individual by supply- ing the needed stimuli to moral and intellectual effort. A process, vast and silent, is leading to a consuma- tion too great for the mind of man to measure, It has been adequately expressed only in the idealism of the Teacher of Galilee. Christianity is the greatest pmmoter of cix'ilization. 2. Has Christianity also addrcsml itself to individual development? The Galilean Teacher came preaching 8 Gospel of repentance. It was a call to a changed attitude; 3 new view- point. Individuals wane. challenged to leave the normal, drifting way of life and struggle onward and upward; to put away lying and deceit and boasting and pride: to think noble thoughts, study diligently, labor in- dustriously and live unselfishly. The Christian must become a new crea- ture; must be born again. He must not live unto himself but for others. He must not be selfish but must make his life contribute in useful: nests and service. friends and sin no more! No wonder that men like Berle and Rauschen- busch and Peabody are giving their time and talent to a friutful pm- clamation of the social applications of the Gospel of Christ! The Golden Rule calls for more than negation, it demands positive brotherly conduct. The institution of the church has been the hope of a better social world for it is the champion of right social relationships. In it the social teach- ings of the Gospel are made mani~ fest. Christianity has stimulated the progress of society. CONGRIMATIONAL CHURCH CHURCH "011655 DOWNERSQROVE REPOR! fl, DOWNERS GROVE. ILLINOIS 8:00 p. m. Compline. Benediction, Scrmon.
