Advertising helped it happen
By stimulating mass demand, advertising helped create
mass market for facial tissues. As demand grew, more
and more were made. The more of them made, the less
each box cost. Result: new and better facial tissues mass
produced for more and more people at lower prices by
America's remarkable and competitive economic system.
Is this worthwhile? Then, so is advertising worthwhile.

RICHARD G. HIRSCH
Director,
Religious Action Center
Union of American
Hibraw Congregation!
"The chief output of the
churches today is preachers'
pious platitudes and laymen's
lame laments over even these
platitudes."
Thus, in a recent report.
college students character
ized the social action efforts
of religious groups.
Most social action programs
lack one essential element
action. Religious groups mis
takenly assume that a resolu
tion passed at a national con
vention constitutes action.
The truth is that resolutions
have greater impact on those
who discuss and approve
them than on the people to
whom they are supposedly addressed.
To demand the right to
preach to society without be
coming involved in the so
ciety to whom we preach is to
act irresponsibly.
In Genesis 17:1, God pre
scribes for Abraham the nat
ure of his convental obliga
tion "Walk before me and
be wholehearted."
The convenant made by
God wiih all men of religion
commits us to strive to walk
before God not in compart
mentalized, halfhearted but in
a "wholehearted manner.
Our contemporary society,
however, is "two-hearted"
rather than "wholehearted."
How else can we describe
the discrepancy between the
unparalleled high status of
religion and the unprecedent
ed low state of personal and
public morality? , .
Business is business"
seems to have become the new
standard in economic life just
as politics is politics seems
to have become the accepted
pattern of political life.
When translated into the
vernacular, these two seem
ingly innocuous terms mean
"you can't be a success and
be completely ethical at the
same time."
The next step Is Inevitably,
"religion is religion."
This is already manifest in
superficial religious preach'
ments which smear a smooth'
ing balm of fatuous faith over
men s itchy consciences in
stead of pricking those con.
sciences with barbs of social
concern.
The primary task for relig
ion and its institutions, then,
is to point out unequivocally
the injustices still rampant in
our world. ,
Affirm Obligation
In this increasingly com
plex age, when it is at time
necessary for government to
extend its influence into
areas formerly considered
beyond its purview, we affirm
our obligation to encourage
the individual to preserve and
enhance this individuality by
actively participatine In the
social issues of his life and
times.
The most formative Influ
ence In the life of an Indivi.
dual is neither creed nor
scripture nor pulpit but tne
over-all social, economic and
political milieu. We affirm,
then, that religion can best
affect the character of man by
seeking to affect the character
of man's environment.
The fundamental division
In American religious life is
not between faiths but with
each faith. '
It is the division between
true religion and religiosity,
between those who are acti
vated by and those who are
apathetic to religious Ideals,
between those who relate re
ligion to life and those who
use religion to escape from
life.
We live In an era of cata-
cylsmic social change. The
fate of our society and our
world are determined by the
decisions made by men.
Whether we will it or not, we
participate in those decisions.
Either we participate con
sciously and responsibly, or
we participate by silence and
acquiesence.
Religion must function as
the radar of morality, employ
ing Its insight and sensitivity
to identify unethical behavior
and to focus on ethical tar
gets despite the haze and
maze engulfing our society.
In the process of serving
democracy, religion will pre
serve its own integrity.
