Excerpt from Pathfinders and Other Saturday Sermonettes: Which Appeared in the Tulsa Tribune During the Year 1920
During the last few years we have heard much discussion both from platform and press of church decadence - the failure of the church. The subject has become one for both public debate and periodical discussion.
I am one of those who believe in the church as an institution, who believe that the church has a function of its own that cannot be delegated - a purpose to fulfill. But however the individual may choose to align himself in this debate, if there be basis for controversy at all, however much he may make use of statistics to prove or disprove one argument or the other, it is an indisputable fact that in no land throughout the world has Christianity been such a great success as in America. Here certainly, whether individuals have affiliated or not with any of the denominational divisions of Christianity, all are essentially Christian in character. Here a great law-abiding people strive to live in obedience to the simple and adequate creed of the Golden Rule.
If this is true, and I believe it is, we are all of us thinking in simple, self-evident truths. Many of us do not take the time to put these expressions of faith and forms of conduct into words.
