The article mentioned above states that there are in our Church three different attitudes toward the world which enjoin three very different courses of action: the mind of safety, the mind of militancy, and the mind of love.

In the February 1957 issue of The Reformed Journal, Prof. John Bratt wrote an article under the above title however, without a question mark.
