| Summary: | Christian ethics is the gospel finding expression in human service. The writer of this article has had plenty of opportunity for observation. As a missionary in India, as a pastor in America, and as a Red Cross worker during the war period, he has gathered facts which make his opinions weighty. There is no denying that just now the appeal of welfare work is strong to those men who, coming back from war, find the churches less eager to employ them as pastors than are great societies to employ them in relief work. Their going is a loss to the church, but a gain to the morale of welfare work at large. It is to be hoped that the churches will be able to assimilate the new spirit and methods. Dr. Woodburne is now on his way to India. |
