Men Needed to Christianize New York
By Editor
The Evangelist of December 13 has an article on Christianizing New York City, in which its call is not for means and churches, but men. It says: "The work to be done is of a sort for which our city pastors in general are wholly unfitted." "What is needed here is that divine power of sympathy, in the presence of which all distinctions are nothing. That is the magnetism which flows like an electric current from heart to heart." Emphatically true. And why are not just such men needed in the great churches? Would Jesus of Nazareth be so highly educated and trained that he could not go out and preach to the poor? Or would he need a "professional education" in order to meet the demand in our great and popular temples, called churches? What is needed by the world is converted men, men converted to Christ and his truth, both in the great churches and in the mission hall.
