Excerpt from The Challenge of Social Service
IT is Sunday afternoon. I am to speak for the Church and to the Church. What special contribution can the Church make to the solution of our social questions? The Church is by far the most powerful voluntary organization in our country. All the fraternal organizations taken to gether number only about twelve million members. All the Churches of America together number about thirty-three million communicants. The Church has a majestic history, beside which all other organizations are mere upstarts. It has the Holy Book with its tremendous dynamic of freedom and righteousness. It is organized for the highest ends, the only organization created solely for the kingdom of God. Business is for money and moves toward profit. States manship seeks the good of the people, but necessarily moves toward concrete minor ends and must adapt itself to imme diate needs. On the other hand, the Church should seek out the polestar of justice and truth-and lay down the per manent north and south lines of all human action, planning all social life according to the Will of the Eternal.
Therefore, the Church should have the highest and bravest, the most far-reaching and revolutionary social pro gram. It has such a program in the idea of the reign of God on earth. Every time we recite the Lord's Prayer we pray for an ideal social condition on earth: Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth. What wrong would survive and what rights would be suppressed if that petition were ful filled?
