On the other hand, the church is a steward of the teachings of Jesus, which are opposed to all occupational classification of society and which advocate universal brotherhood, to which each social group makes its contribution and of which no one group is master. The world waits today as never before for such a message. American Christianity, separate from the state and democratically controlled, is strategically located to preach this truth. To do so most effectively it must first democratize itself thoroughly and present to the watching world a good sample of what a Christian nation really is. We must democratize ourselves with regard to race distinctions. This does not necessarily mean racial interference, but it does mean equality before the law for white, black, red, yellow, and brown. Christianity is the only world religion with a message equally adapted to all races. In the second place, we must democratize ourselves in regard to denominational distinctions. Emphasis must be placed upon inward experience, not upon outward forms. This means cooperation among all Christian bodies and a fair distribution of religious opportunities and responsibilities among them.

Finally, we must democratize ourselves so far as social distinctions are concerned. We cannot denounce the dictatorship of the poletariat unless we eliminate all dictatorship of other classes as well. Bolshevism is a symptom of disease, not a cause of it. The church must deal with causes.
