Excerpt from Evangelism and Social Service It will be a sad day when the church loses its grip upon the great truth that Christ came to save the individual. There is no substitute for that truth. It is as sure that he came to save any one member of the human race, as though there were no other in existence in all the boundless reaches of the universe. That teaching is fundamental. It lies at the root of things. To deny it, to distort it, to neglect it, is false to Scripture and false to fact. The Master himself, in his earthly life, sought the individual, and a large portion of the record of those three short years of ministry is given to the story of personal interviews in which he was seeking the one sheep that had gone astray. It will be a sad day when the church loses its grip upon the equally great truth that Christ came to save the world, to lift society, to redeem humanity, to "Christianize the social order." Men have a right to ask, What message has the gospel regarding better homes for the poor? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
