Excerpt from A Fighting Church What is the matter with the Church"? is a question which has been often ashed and never more frequently or more searchingly than of late. Many and varied are the answers and likewise the remedies proposed. There is, however, one deep-seated, fundamental evil which has always beset the Church and hampered her usefulness. It may be no more, perhaps even less, prevalent to-day than in some previous ages, but the splendid self-sacrifice evoked by the war reveals it more clearly and at the same time provides both the example and the incentive for its cure. This root evil, from which springs all the Church's weakness, timidity, and inefficiency, is nothing more or loss than our individual and corporate selfishness. The Church of to-day has become too self-conscious, too self-centered. In a world it is commissioned to save at the risk and cost of its very life, it is devoting itself too largely to its own preservation, safeguarding, and upbuilding. It has lost in some measure the venturesomeness of faith and the spirit of sacrifice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
