His answer was emphatic. "We wanted to clear away everything about which there could be any possible doubt. Then we knew that what was left was solid, and on that we could begin to build."

That is the habit of sound busi- ness. It is not the habit of the church. There is hardly a. church- membersbip roll that does not car- ry as active members a large per- centage of people who are no long- er active» Yet their names swell the misleading totals which give the impression that the church is gaining, when one has only to drop into a Sunday morning service to

world depends upon the mutual understanding, and reaction upon. each other, of business and the church. Unless business discovers and holds steadily beforejits eye a spiritual ideal, unless the church learns some of the lessons that! business has been forced to learn under keenly competitive condi- tions, neither will measure up to its new opportunities.
