this mean that the pulpit has failed? In January 1940 Fortune magazine carried a strong criticism on the ineffectiveness of the church and its program of teaching and preaching. The authors charged that the church was being shaped by the social order rather than itself exercising the power to shape life according to the will of God. They claimed that the church was temporal and timely, and had lost touch with the timeless; that it no longer taught and led by the Universal Will. Specifically, the church was accused of having deserted its position of opposition to war as an evil when the First World War broke out
