It would take time.
It would mean real self-denial. It would call for all your Christian grace and courage.
But what does all this church membership and church life mean if not just such sacrifice? We cannot give anything to this age of more value than our own selves.
The world of sin and want and despair and disbelief is not hungering for money or mission-schools or charity balls or state institutions for the relief of distress, but for live, pulsing, loving Christian men and women, who reach out live, warm hands, who are willing to go and give themselves, who will abandon, if necessary, if Christ calls for it, the luxuries they have these many years enjoyed in order that the bewildered, disheartened, discontented, unhappy, sinful creatures of earth may actually learn of the love of God through the love of man.
And that is the only way the world ever has learned of the love of God.
