devote 'himself to "the great army
of men who are good but who prj
fess no creed,” he said.
“The church has limited its oppor-1
unity to servo 'humanity,” lie said,1
“because of its many internal dlf-1
Kcultles. The majority of (hinkir):
people cannot be reached by the
church, as the magazine, the motion
