Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Americanism Versus Christianity Much has been said recently about open discussion and open treaties. Secret diplomacy and secret treaties were denounced and a large hope has been fostered for a candid declaration of world confidence. This was in the political field of human interests, but the political diplomats availed themselves of the most guarded seclusion in all matters of great importance. The hope and promise did not materialize. In the same way do we hear a great deal about the new aims of the church. "Service" is the great slogan in the open. Sermons, prayer and sacraments are not very essential. Saving the individual soul from the "wrath of God" is not popular in the open, and of the saints in glory we hear only in hymn and funeral oration. Salvation Army "doughnuts" are the gods of today and from all indications Y. M. C. A. preachments are taboo. However, when the Convent and Sundayschool are investigated, "doughnuts" are still regarded as dangerous to the "soul." Among the diplomats of the creeds, the world is still the work of six days and the serpent is still endowed with the cunning of human language. Death is punishment and blood a remedy for vice. Perhaps the best criterion of the present aim and content of Christian instruction may be gleaned from the contemporary "practical lessons" of the Sundayschool quarterlies. There are twelve selected Lessons, and here follows the Sundayschool sentiment as expressed by the diplomats of the creeds: - First lesson: "God demands our undivided service."
