We know that present attempts to distribute prosperity through charities are like endeavouring to irri- gate the Sahara Desert by carrying water in buckets. Not only are our charities making only the faintest impression on relieving poverty but if the churches would stop begging continually ■ for money, even they would be much better ^ off. Jesus said, " Go ye Into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature;" but He never said " collect money and send others to 50 THE FUTURE OF THE C...HURCHES do it for you. " He constantly taught people to give, but you cannot find a single word urging us to collect money of others or to run church fairs and suppers for spreading the gospel. The gospel on which the churches prosper demands direct personal sei*vice in the inter- ests of others — ^not through paid agents — and only as we give this service by training the children in our homes, by helping the em- ployees in our business, by aiding neighbours on our street, and finally, uniting with the masses by working through schools and poli- tics for laws to equalize opportunity, can we hope again to command the respect of the world and interest mankind in the things worth-while.
