"But that is not to be confused with the task and work of the Church," he said. "That task and work er Geavour to restrain men from th: demonic forces of the times and from open denial of the Christian view of life."
The Rev. Dr. Justin Wroe Nixon, of New York, said that the Christian consciousness was seriously diluted in the lives of millions.
"The Communists," he said, "believe that the very structure of the cause ultimately inevitable; that the stars in their courses fight on the side of Marx. Do we believe that the stars in their courses fight on the side of Christ? Can we say with full consent of mind and heart, 'God wills a world community with His fellowship'?
"If we can," he added, "the world Christian community, which is the Church, will have found a task which will throw it back so completely upon the inexhaustible resources of God that its lost radiance will return, the springs of its joy and its hope will be renewed, and the life of a myriad of congregations will be transfigured."
