Lloyd C. Douglas Wanted a Congregation

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The rumor is abroad that something ails the churches. It is more than a rumor. It has become a fixed, albeit reluctant, belief. More over, this belief is practically unanimous. Ask anybody. Listen to the mill-hands discussing the problem during the noon-hour at the fac tory. Read the report of the conclave of Bishops, or the convention of the Elders and Betters of any denomination, and get the same reaction. Something wrong. Catch up a cross section of conversation in the Pullman, club lounge, hotel lobby, wherever you like - and while the phraseology differs, the conclusion is but one! Something ails the churches.
