Preface
¶16.
THE chief cause of most of our modern troubles is not economic nor political nor social, it is moral. People still call themselves Christian, but to a great extent they have ceased to be Christian in faith and practice. The remedy for all our present troubles cannot be found in economics or politics or in a new social order, it can only be found in a return to real Christian faith and practice. The short papers which make up this little book were written in that conviction. They are here offered to a wider public in the hope that they will help to produce the same conviction in a wider circle of readers.
