nately our hymns and prayers have a richer consciousness of solidarity than individualistic theology. But even to- day many ministers have a kind of dumb-bell system of thought, with the social gospel at one end and individ- ual salvation at the other end, and an attenuated connec- tion between them. The strength of our faith is in its unity. Religion wants wholeness of life. We need a rounded system of doctrine large enough to take in all our spiritual interests.
In short, we need a theology large enough to contain the social gospel, and alive and productive enough not to hamper it.
