II WHAT IS THE |MODERN BROTHERHOOD? THE modern lay brotherhood of the churches is a movement indicated of God. It has come in response to the longing of men to render larger and more efficient service in the cause of Christ. This longing is the immediate manifestation of a truer and an approximately correct understanding of the content of the gospel message by the average man of the church. In contrast, it may be noted that — The churchman of yesterday viewed a creed; the churchman of to-day vi...sions a kingdom. The broth- erhood of olden times was remedial; that of to-day is preventive. One was after the fact; the other is before the fact. One emphasized rescue ; the other emphasizes prevention. One dealt with results; the other deals with causes. One was concerned about the unit; the other concerns itself with that and the aggregate. One treated as the summum honum the life to come; the other lays stress upon the establish- ing and maintaining here of right relations with God and man in order to a realization of the life of the blessed in eternity.
