Excerpt from The Experiment of Faith: A Plea for Reality in Religion Christian belief. They ought to be shown some definite Christian work. It is true, said the speaker, that we have had a pretty steady stream of preaching about the Great War. One after another the clergy of every faith have come and philosophized about it; one after another they have moralized over its lessons and made appeals to patriotism or religion. Of course we cannot get away from the subject. It colours all our think ing. But what we need is not so much direct preaching about the war as preaching which shows that the man who speaks is conscious of our thoughts and longs, with all his soul, to give us some light on faith's pathway in these dark and troublous days. The war brings many spiritual problems to the front. They are the same old problems we have always had with us, only now they stand out more sharply defined. Why should we not be told something of the an swer of Christian faith to such questions always with the war in mind, but never with the war dragged in? Try it. And then he added: And if you can show us how faith is possible and what can be said to help the man who gropes towards it falter ingly, so much the better.
