| Summary: | We have been told that human nature cannot change, that it must always fight. From our point of view we venture to hope that slowly but surely the attitude of men's minds changes as new interests develop. It is a part of the business of the church to lay emphasis upon those interests that look toward co-operation rather than hostility. And quite as fundamental is the duty of the church to develop a social-mindedness that is ready to sacrifice some of its privileges in the interest of larger social justice. As in so many other cases, the task of religion is fundamentally psychological. A world without good-will will be a world continually facing tragedy. |
