The Crucifixion of Philip Strong

CHAPTER XIV
8/20

Church work in Milton to-day does not consist in doing simply what your fathers did before you.

It means helping to make a cleaner town, the purification of our municipal life, the actual planning and accomplishment of means to relieve physical distress, a thorough understanding of the problem of labor and capital; in brief, church work to-day in this town is whatever is most needed to be done to prove to this town that we are what we profess ourselves to be--disciples of Jesus Christ.

That is the reason I give more time to the tenement district problem than to calling on families that are well, and in possession of great comforts and privileges.

That is the reason I call on this church to do Christ's work in His name and give itself to save that part of our town." This is but the briefest of the sketches of Philip's sermon.

It was a part of himself, his experience, his heart belief.
