A WORLD
REBUILT
By the Golden Rule
not by the rule of Gold
* J 'HIRTY denominations of the Church are uniting in
a simultaneous campaign in the week of April 25th
May 2nd.
They are uniting because the task before the Church is
too great for any one denomination; because there must be
no duplication of effort; no waste. ,
These churches know that the world needs many things;
but it needs Faith most of all.
They know that there can be no final solution of our
economic problems that is not a spiritual splution, based
on the teachings of Jesus Christ and His Golden Rule.
They have had the courage to survey the whole task,
% and to ask for a budget large enough to sustain (l) the
work abroad, (2) the work at home including the church's
part in the huge task of Americanization, (3) the colleges
and (4) hospitals supported by the Churches, (5) the reli
gious training of the young, and to provide (6) a living
wage for the Church’s ministers.
The budget is large in the aggregate; yet
if each person who loves America would
increase his contribution by only a few
dollars the whole amount would be
easily subscribed.
We face the task of rebuilding the world.
Let the cornerstone be a strong and vital
church in every American community;
and the measuring rod by which the
builders build must be the Golden Rule.
