“tvfieri the salt has lost its

The speaker likened the
Christian church that has not.
awakened to the needs
of mankind to salt that has
lost its saltiness. The church,
said Hr. Davis if it H to meet
the challenge of this age, moat
rc -examine Ms program and
fdtne to a full realization tiiat
d not only must save souls,
it must also serve souls- be
cause, continued the speaker,
it is impossible, to save men's
souls without saving their
bodies and their minds. The
church of Christ, he said must
have contact with the world
both externally and internaiis
and its program most be one
designed to execute the ideals

Christianity, like salt, is a pre

hatred and false illusory tradi

But, concluded Dr, Daves
