Excerpt from Social Duties: From the Christian Point of View, a Textbook for the Study, of Social Problems These words of a high - minded writer of recent times may serve as an introduction to the present volume; but we must go farther; we must give a distinctly Christian note to our treatment. While most of what is written here has the broadly human aspect, it is all intended for people who are already inspired by the motive Of love to God as revealed in Jesus Christ, and who desire to learn what the Master requires Of men and women of this generation.
