It is not because I believe the rich and the educated do not need the gospel or the church.

The rich and the poor both need the life more abundantly.

But I am firmly convinced that as matters now are, the church membership through pulpit and pew must give itself more than in the later ages of the world it has done for the sake of winning men.

The form of self-denial must take a definite, physical, genuinely sacrificing shape.

The Church must get back to the apostolic times in some particulars and an adaptation of community of goods and a sharing of certain aspects of civilization must mark the church membership of the coming twentieth century.
