MEN AND THE CHURCH— Bishop Gooden

WITNESS CHICAGO, ILL., DECEMBER 11, 1930

K BIGNESS AND GREATNESS by

H. E. L uccock I

'p o CONFUSE the size of anything with its significance is the most fundamental vulgarity of which anyone can be guilty. Greatness is always more and other than bigness. As long as that confusion prevails widely, the common phrase “American vulgarity” will have real meaning. As long as that confusion prevails there will be a fundamental antagonism to Jesus’ whole scale of values. To Jesus the significance of life is always measured by quality, and not by quantity. Not the size of cities but the kind of life lived in them; not the mountains of manufactured goods but the kind of men created by the process; not bank clearing but abundant life—that is the way Jesus read the human balance sheet. An alarming thing is the extent to which quan titative measurement has invaded the Church; the degree to which it has been infected with the very vulgarity it should combat. Statistical measurement of the institu tion rather than ethical transformation of the life about it, is the standard which churches frequently apply. Ask a company of Church people about the progress of reli gion and eight times out of ten you will get an answer in statistical terms. The adding machine displaces the cross on the altar.
