Why Is the Church

Dr. W. G. Eliot Jr., pastor of the

why the church of today Is Ignored or
condemned. He will seek to answer
a number of pertinent questions: Is
the church maligned or is it unjustly
arraigned? Is It to be revolution or
evolution? Is It the "church of the
future" or the "church In the future?"
Is the church behind the age or ahead
of the age? What are the personal
problems of education and happiness,
and what are the world problems of
statesmanship, politics and morality
that depend on the answer?
Dr. Eliot regards these as some of
the most critical questions of modern
life, and will touch upon them' at both
morning and evening services.
