Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Social Problems Not long ago, a young lady attended one of the services of this church. She is English by birth, has resided in Germany, and is now in this country. She is well educated, although her education on the religious side is extremely ecclesiastical; and she has considered the question of entering some one of the church sisterhoods as her life vocation. After listening to the service as it is conducted here, she told a friend that she was very much interested; but she added, "Mr. Savage does not preach religion, does he?" Religion, according to her conception, was something technical, one side of life, a sort of fifth wheel to a coach instead of the driving power in an engine. Only a short time ago an intelligent lady attended a religious service in a neighboring city, and heard one of the leading Unitarians of Boston, who, in the course of his sermon, spoke the names of New York, Chicago, and other modern cities. The religious sensibilities of this lady were seriously shocked by such reference to modem towns as part of a religious service. If he had said Jerusalem or Damascus or Rome, all would have been well. But, after the service, she said to a friend, "I dislike such things very much in a sermon: it makes the whole service seem worldly to me." Worldly I What does worldly mean? She had never learned that it was just this conventionalism, of which she was a living illustration, that Jesus condemned under the name "worldliness."
