Church’s Voice < Lemon for March 9, 1958 DOES society have a conscience? We all know what wo mean by a "conscienceless” individual. He is a man who does whatever occurs to him, whatever ha feels like doing. Ho can murder his own mother and regret only that he was caught A man without a conscience does SEpM*' not see things as JF?., right and wrong, only as practical and impractical, p|S what he can get \ by with and what „ N- body JU loves a consci- ■■ enceless man. 1 Nobody wants to » r - Foreman live with him, because he is dangerous, a human rattlesnake. If society has no conscience, then society,—social groups such as whole communities or even natlons.—can become one vast rattlesnake. But where can society get a conscience? More important: Where can society get a conscience that is right? A faulty compass can lose a man. A faulty conscience can ruin him; and so it is with society. How God's Voice Io Hoard “The voice of conscience is the voice of God,” it is sometimes said. This is true only in so far as conscience is in line with the Word of God. So if society is to have a conscience, it can only come from God’s Word. But who will speak the Word to society? The mere existence of the Bible will not do it. The Bible no more teaches it- j self than books of mathematics do. The Church of God is expected to bring the Word of God to society; ta insist that It be heard, to ex- . plain it, interpret it, to confront men with God’s ideals and God’s j demands. Conscience is sharpest,—that "is to say, it hurts most, when there is resistance to it. In fact, the more violent the resistance, the more the stabs of conscience rfe hurting. - What Stiflu the Voice? yyy__ < As with individuals, so with the L community. The voice of v con- : ered and finally silenced. One way to do it is the simple way: just refuse to listen. Another way is to ; borrow a trick from children who j , don’t want to hear their mother j turn the radio higher, make such j a racket nobody can be heard , through it. The world around us, the ordinary ungodly world. Is ; : like an immense radio shouting to us in tones quite unlike the Word 1 of God. If a person, or a community, listens to the worlds voices more than to the “still small voice” of God, they will presently be unable to hear God at all. Put It as a plain question: Who is to tell us what is right and what is ! wrong? If we listen to what “everybody” says, if we count noses and see . what the majority 1 says, if we take our ideas from the world, we shall end by being no different from the world. Like the church of Sardis, we. may have the name of being alive, but we shall be dead. Wards and Deeds The church itself, let it be re- 1 peated, ought to be the world’s conscience;notthe way i / around. Every congregation ought ' to be a conscience in that com- | munity. -It should never surrender I 1 that right and duty. But the church ' must be more than a voice. Its deeds must match Its words, The church calls for unity among man; but how can it do this with a straight face if itself is all torn , with factions and fights? The church calls for “economic justice”; but how can it be taken seriously If it does not pay its own ( employees a decent wage? The , church speaks for Christian education; but not convincingly when it will not support its own church colleges. The church speaks for temperance; but with what a feeble voice, when its own officers j set „*n example, of drinking, and , Its members mostly vote wet? ’ What church people do speaks even louder than what “the church” preaches .■ " ' ‘ 1 MONROE METHODIST < Willis Giehart.
