Excerpt from The Biblical World, Vol. 27: January June, 1906 What, then, can the Bible student and Christian preacher do? Three things, if he have the ability, the courage, the patience. First, he may master the ethical principles Of the New Testament. It is safe to say that this is still for many a Christian preacher a task far from accomplishment. But to have achieved it is, if not indis pensable to large and effective work in the sphere Of which we are speaking, yet of the highest value in this direction. Great evils are not cured by snap-judgment denunciation. The educational and reconstructive work that must be done, if a real advance is to be made, calls for something. Broader and deeper than a feeling that stock-gambling is wrong, that family life is being destroyed by the divorce evil, that employers are Oppressing their employees, that employees are lacking in conscience. It demands men whose ethical thinking has reached fundamental moral principles, and who build on these all their specific teachings respecting the duties Of men to men. It is well to advise preachers of the gospel not to meddle with matters that they do not understand; but it is better to remind them that they ought to understand the fundamental principles Of Chris tian ethics.
