Excerpt from Basis for Social Evangelism With Rural Applications A coal-cart teamster once drew his team up to the curb stone in order to hail me as I passed, with this question: Are you the man who spoke about religion on the streets yesterday? When I admitted that I had done so, he remarked, Well, it is a good thing to bring religion outdoors. It surprised him to find it there. Out in the realvwor'ld, where! He lived, on the streets in which he earned his living, religion had not seemed to belong, but it seemed more real to him for being there. To make religion real then. The church must root it on the common earth, however heaven-high it holds aloft the divine ideal. In local surveys of actual conditions, village improvement and town planning the church should take its own part. Only when we 'mortals get the idea that religion belongs out in the open, under the stars, on the green earth, will it be the real, living, tangible thing to us, like everything else that lives and grows, above.
