Excerpt from Religion in Social Action Both the course of thought and the conclusions that follow are the outgrowth of experience. They grew from the ground up. They bear the earth-flavours of each field of endeavour - rural, pastoral and professorial, civic. Wherein the conclusions differ from whatever prompted the course of action which led to them, the difference is due to the trend of the times. Conservative antecedents and training laid upon heart and conscience the burden of the soul. The soul grew into the whole self. The self took on whatever shaped it in the push from behind and the thrust from about. Then, to apply the simple Gospel to the saving of the soul was to extend and apply the common faith to the social conditions of the common life.

This was a reordination to ministry, a rededication of the Church. Evangelism became no less personal for being more social.
