Excerpt from The Call of a World Task in War Time, Vol. 1: The Demands Which Are Being Made in These War Years for a New Expression of International Christianity
Foremost among the profound and urgent messages which God is uttering to His Church in this awful hour, is the clarion call for reality in religion. To that call let us direct our first attention.
We are moving into the new world order through blood and fire. It was little more than yesterday that an influential New York daily wrote thus of the pros peets of universal peace: It was nearer last year than it was the year before; it is nearer this year than it was last year; it is nearer now, today, than it was on the first day of the present year, and, with an advancing step, that has never gone backward, through all these years, the prophecy is safe and beautiful that we are marching swiftly into the vast open of universal peace.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling call to reality across several facets of religious life, beginning with the author's assertion that the First World War era revealed humanity's desperate need for spiritual assistance. The author decries the shallow patriotism, self-righteousness and materialism he sees as common vices among the warring nations. However, the author tempers this critique with a message of hope, arguing that suffering is bringing about positive change. Through education, people are developing a growing awareness of their interdependence and a longing for a new international order based on righteousness and service. The author explores the practical implications of such a Christian internationalism and contends that the spiritual values it promotes provide the best means to transcend the tragic consequences of the Great War.
