PREFACE The handbook which follows gives a brief record of the war activities of the different denominational and interchurch agencies engaged in war work. It is an at- tempt to bring together in a single volume, information as to the war work of the Christian Chtirch not otherwise readily accessible. While necessarily confining itself to agencies of an official character, denominational and interdenominational, and leaving for a later volume the more complete interpretation of the war work of the Church as a whole, it is hoped that it may serve a useful ptirpose by showing how the Churches severally and in cooperation met the new responsibilities and opportuni- ties of service created by the war. The organizations whose work is here described are primarily those which have cooperated in the General War-Time Commission of the Churches. For purposes of completeness, however, a brief record has been in- cluded of the war work of other religious bodies which have functioned through war commissions or war organi- zations. Agencies of a more philanthropic nature, such as the Red Cross and the War Camp Commvmity Service, have not been included, although no story of the Church's activity would be complete which did not include the record of what its members have done in and through these agencies. The material for the handbook has been prepared by the representatives of the different agencies, who have cordiaily responded to the request for a description of the work of their respective organizations and whose coopera- tion is gratefully acknowledged. The material has been revised where necessary to adapt it to the general plan of the handbook. The agencies are divided into two main groups: "Separate Church Agencies" and "Inter- church and Other Cooperative Agencies." The book has been edited by Miss Margaret Renton, Office Secretary of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches. Acknowledgment should also be made of help given by Mr. Harold H. Tryon, Assistant Secretary of the Commission and by Miss Julia Pettee of the Library of the Union Theological Seminary, the latter of whom assisted in the preparation of the list of War-Time Publications of the Churches.

Samuel Z., Chairman, 1701 Chestnut Street, Phila- delphia, Pa. Committee on Food Conservation Norcross, Rev. James E., Chairman, 23 East 26th Street, New York City. The Commission opened headquarters in Washington and maintained them for some months. An executive staff was provided, consisting of Rev. Samuel Z. Batten, Rev. Herbert F. Stilwell, Rev. Howard B. Grose, Ernest S. Butler, and Rev. Charles A. McAlpine. In December it was found that the Washington office could be closed, and transference was then made to the Roger Williams Building, Philadelphia. The Commission constituted an Advisory Committee of representatives of the states in the territory of the Northern Baptist Convention. The Executive Committee has had frequent meetings and has given careful atten- tion to the work of the Commission. It became evident that considerable money must be secured if the Commission was to do its work. After sur- veying the field and noting the needs, a budget of $150,000 was approved. The Commission at once began a financial campaign. To its appeal for funds, churches and individ- uals generously responded. In November, 1917, a meeting of the Baptist lajmien was held, at which time the work and needs of the denomination were carefully canvassed. This group of Baptist laymen vmdertook the task of raising $1,000,000 for the Kingdom work, and the Baptist laymen, having generously asstuned the financial obliga- tions of the War Commission to the extent of $150,000, have raised this amount. This enabled the War Commission to prosecute its most Northern Baptist 11 vital work. It should be stated that a number of members of the War Commission are representatives of the various Baptist societies, and all of the executive officers of the Conamission are giving their services without cost to the Commission either for salary or expenses. The work of the Commission is manifold, but several lines of work may be specifically mentioned, such as pro- viding chaplains for the Army and Navy, equipping the chaplains, cooperating in food conservation campaigns, visiting the training camps, maintaining visiting clergy- men, and joining in cooperative and federated movements. These will be taken up seriatim. In the past, men have been appointed to the important position of chaplain without the religious bodies being responsible for the candidates. Little or no effort was made to preserve a proportion and give the various reli- gious bodies their full quotas. Through the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, a General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains has been created, made up of representatives of the various religious bodies, which acts as a general clearing-house for chaplaincy matters. The Baptist War Cormnission has a Committee on Chaplains, whose duty it is to find qualified men, present their names for appoint- ment, keep in touch with them, and provide such equip- ment as may be needed in their work. It has been the effort of the Committee to find strong, vigorous men, with college or seminary training or a very good equivalent, men of initiative and executive ability, of good address, and, above all, of earnest religious life. In the past,, the chaplain, once appointed, has been iso- lated and has often fallen out of touch with the churches. According to an understanding with the Army and Navy Departments the denominational committee is expected to 12 Northern Baptist keep in communication with the Baptist chaplains and to confer with them. In this way the Baptist representa- tives in the Army may maintain a bond of sjonpathy with the churches. The War Commission was also requested to furnish a considerable number of qualified men to serve as Red Cross chaplains in overseas work. The chaplain is an accredited officer of the Government and receives a regular salary, according to his rank. The Government does not undertake to provide special equip- ment. . The War Commission has furnished its chaplains with the equipment necessary to increase their efficiency, at an expense of not over $500 each. This equipment con- sists of such things as an organ, song-books, communion set, portable typewriter, stationery, books, etc. In some instances it has seemed best to place a small stun of money in the hands of the chaplain to be used at his discretion in providing delicacies for the wounded, and similar minis- trations. Before the War Commission was organized. President Coleman appointed a Committee on Food Conservation. This Committee appointed Dr. Batten as denomina- tional representative at Washington to act with the Food Administration. The Conservation Committee became a committee of the War Commission, and Ernest S. Butler, Treasurer of the Foreign Mission Society, was appointed denominational representative in the Food Administra- tion. The denominational representatives served at head- quarters in Washington until the middle of November. Their special service was to enlist the churches in the national movement for the home pledge-card, and for a weekly report of food-saving by the churches. By corre- spondence they sought to reach the pastors, Sunday-school superintendents and people of the churches, informing Northern Baptist 13 them concerning the purpose and necessity of food con- servation, and interesting them in active participation in the food-saving program as essential to winning the war. In addition to this, arrangement was made with the State Conventions in the territory of the Northern Baptist Con- vention, whereby the food conservation cause was pre- sented by speakers, several of whom had been connected with the work in Washington. A large amount of educa- tional propaganda was conducted through this medium. Dr. Howard B. Grose, editor of Missions, represented the conference of editors of the religious press at Food Administration Headquarters. From September until April he furnished the news concerning the Food Admin- istration to more than seven hundred papers and period- icals, including the Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish press (which took copy from the same source with utmost harmony and cooperation). The Religious Press Bulletin was mailed regularly to a large list of church leaders, to the Canadian press, to the Food Administrators and their Directors of Public Information. As Chief of the Religious Section of the United States Food Administration, Dr. Grose has rendered a valued service. As a large ntimber of the Army training camps were located in the South, it seemed fitting that the Northern Baptists should bear their proportionate expense in min- istering to the men. A committee representing the War Commission of the Northern Baptist Convention and the Committee on War Work of the Home Board of the Southern Baptist Convention drew up a working agree- ment, which was ratified by each body. The Directors of Camp Activities, representing the Baptists, have visited nearly all of the camps in the North and South; they have met representatives of the State Conventions and local churches; they have agreed on the work to be done, and 14 Northern Baptist have cooperated fully in the selection and placing of visit- ing clergymen. In a number of camps a religious census has been taken and the figures are suggestive. In one camp, Camp Travis, San Antonio, the Baptists had 8,282 men, exceeding by two thousand any other religious body. The work of conserving the religious hfe of these men was an opportunity of great magnitude. In addition, the Commission felt the obligation to minister also to the thousands of other men who had no church relations. Morale is recognized as a vital factor in the training and life of our soldiers. Moral Ufe and spiritual quality are fundamental. A heavy responsibility consequently rests upon the chiu-ches to strengthen the moral and religious life of the men. The Government, through the Commission on Training Camp Activities, has done much to provide wholesome recreation and to make communities near the camps morally safe. It has looked to the churches to supplement the efforts of that Commission, as it is the special duty of the churches to vitalize and unite the I moral and religious forces of the commtmity in protecting young men and in promoting their religious life. It is found that where the churches are united and active the efforts of the Commission are most effective. In their effort to meet the need, the Baptists placed visiting clergymen in these camps. They cooperate with the chaplains and the Yoimg Men's Christian Association. They receive the names of aU men signing the War Roll who express a Baptist preference, and endeavor to lead these men into the fellowship of the Church. They serve as a means of connection between the people at home and the men in camp. They bring men together in Bible classes, both in the Young Men's Christian Association huts and in the churches in the dty, and seek to organize men into religious units for Christian work in the camps. Northern Baptist 15 They bring the soldiers into fellowship with local Baptist churches. They also seek to lead and organize the Baptist people in the community in maintaining the moral life of the community and in ministering to the religious life of the men. They hold no independent services within the camp. The most vital part of their work is the personal work with the men. The visiting clergymen are pastors in the best sense. It is important that they be men of power and experience. Chtirches have been asked to release their pastors for two or three jmonths for this work. The Commission covers all of the expenses of these men where the churches desire it, and provides supplies for the churches in their absence. They have rendered valuable service in the camps. Several forms of cooperation may be noted. The War Commission has cooperated with similar agencies of other religious bodies. Several menibers of the Commission are members of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, in which body questions relating to war service are fully considered. Committees of the General War-Time Commission have conferences with the inter- denominational war agencies to bring about a perfect tm- derstanding and full agreement on the part of all. The Commission has cooperated also with local churches near training camps. In several instances the Commission has enabled a church to obtain a strong man as pastor by contributing toward the required salary. In some cases it has made a small appropriation to the church, thus enabling it to minister to the soldiers. Where the training-camps are located near towns with strong and well-equipped churches, full cooperation of all religious forces in meeting the need has been sought, but when the camps are situated near small towns or in the open country it has been found necessary to erect a fed- 16 Northern Baptist erated building, to be the general religious headquarters. Such buildings have offices and sleeping quarters for visit- ing clergymen, social and writing rooms for the soldiers, and an assembly room which is used for religious services. Such federated buildings have been erected at a number of camps, as Camp Devens, at Ayer, Mass. ; Camp Upton, near Yaphank, L. I. ; Camp Dix, at Wrightstown, N. J. ; Camp Cody, at Deming, N. Mex.; Camp Kearney, at Linda Vista, Cal. ; at League Island Navy Yard, Phila- delphia; Camp Meade, in Maryland; and at the Fourth Naval District, Camp May, N. J. The War Commission has issued the following litera- ture: "Call to Penitence and Prayer," "A Wartime Pro- gram of the Local Church," "Army and Navy Chaplains," "Their Services will be Needed, etc.," "The Church's Service in Time of War," "The Church and Food Sup- ply," "Report of the War Commission," "Soldiers' Travelling Church Letter," "Emergency War Measures." The question of the returned soldiers is a vital one and the War Commission is giving attention to it. It is essen- tial that these men shotild find congenial employment where they can earn a satisfactory income. Those who have been wotmded and are crippled will need re-educa- tion to prepare them for efficient service. The churches should rally around these men and encourage them in every way. It is necessary also that the churches enlist the re- turning soldiers and sailors in the work of the Kingdom. The War Commission is bringing these matters to the at- tention of the churches and is urging them to do every- thing possible to serve returning soldiers and sailors who have served so well in the cause of humanity. Many of the men appointed as chaplains resigned from their pastorates to accept service in the Army and Navy. Now that the war is over and men are being demobilized. Northern Baptist 17 many of these chaplains are returning to civil life. The Commission is making it a part of its work to place these chaplains in satisfactory pastorates. The War Commission was created for an emergency and now that the war is closed much of its work is at an end. There are aspects of the work, however, as indicated above, which must be carried on for some time. The Conunission is committing all chaplaincy matters to the Brotherhood Department of the American Baptist Publication Society and all matters pertaining to camps and naval stations to the American Baptist Home Mission Society. 18 Southern Baptist WAR COUNCIL OF THE HOME MISSION BOARD OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION 1004 Healey Building, Atlanta, Ga. Willett, H. M., Chairman, 209 Fourth National Bank Building, Atlanta, Ga. Gray, Rev. B. D., Corresponding Secretary, 1004 Healey Building, Atlanta, Ga. Green, Rev. George, Director of Camp Activities, 1004 Healey Build- ing, Atlanta, Ga. The first meeting of any of the general denominational organizations after the declaration of war in 1917 was that of the Southern Baptist Convention, held May 16-21, in New Orleans. A Committee on the Present World Crisis submitted a report pledging to the Government loyalty of the Baptists in this war for the freedom of the world. In view of the religious needs of the soldiers and in behalf of the peoples of the world, Dr. J. B. Gambrell offered a paper in which these paragraphs occtuxed: "Reafifirming the immemorial position of Baptists, we insist that the preaching of the gospel or any other form of religious belief should, of right, be free around the whole world, and the right to profess and to practice any or no religion is not to be brought into question by Tsar, Kaiser, Potentate, Ecclesiastical Council or any other human authority whatever. . . . "We insist that in the reconstruction of modem civili- zation now going on the President of the United States and his counsellors, whom Providence has thrust into the leadership of advancing civilization, shall, in the final adjustment of the issues involved, see to it that every- where religious persecutions shall cease, that preaching Southern Baptist 19 and the exercise of religion shall be free to every responsible htrnian soul." It was necessary that the Baptists of the South set in motion some organization to take care of the religious needs of the soldiers for the new Army and the following action was therefore taken instructing the Home Mission Board to take care of the religious needs of the soldiers: "As the country is now greatly increasing its military, naval and aviation forces and will probably continue to increase them for some time, it is plain that the services of many ministers will be needed in the chaplaincy. "The Home Mission Board is instructed to use its best endeavors to stimulate and cultivate the interests of our people in this matter and to care for the interests of the denomination as may be necessary. The cooperation of the State Boards is also earnestly requested in the task of finding and recommending men suited to this responsible work." The task which was committed to the Home Mission Board by the Southern Baptist Convention was accepted gladly. The Committee of the Board to whom this task was assigned engaged Mr. Green to place pastors at all the posts and training camps. It was the judgment of the Committee that the service which could be rendered the soldiers was primarily a pastoral service. The pastors were gladly received and many letters of commendation were sent to the Committee. These pastors were not chaplains nor Y. M. C. A. sec- retaries. Their relation to the Army was that of a pastor whose business it was to shepherd the members of his own flock. They strengthened the churches of the denomina- tion in the vicinity of the camps so that they might minister effectively to the enlisted men when they were on leave in the adjacent cities and needed the service of the 20 Southern Baptist churches as social centers. It is difficult to tabulate the work of these men. In August, 1917, there were 94 such Baptist pastors serving the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention. In all, there have been about 200 men who have served in this way with the following results up to January 1, 1919: Hours spent in camp 117,314 Sermons, addresses, etc 7,415 Classes, group meetings, etc 8,012 Hospital work, letters, etc 82,892 Visits to y. M. C. A. buildings 14,828 War Roll Card (how many calls) 29,734 Letters to soldiers 27,225 Soldiers traveling letters 14,243 Reconsecrations 42,929 Letters to home folk 16,427 New Testaments 63,013 Professions of faith 36,256 Inquirers helped 24,304 Baptisms 4,868 Tracts distributed 534,876 At and within the training camps in the territory of the Southern Baptists were always small meeting houses used by Baptist churches. These buildings were utilized for war work and the grounds opened as parks for the use of soldiers. At Camps Jackson, Shelby, Bowie, MacArthur, Logan, Ellington Field, Travis, and Cody, buildings were erected and maintained by the Home Mission Board. The Home Mission Board gave the authority to make re- commendation of pastors desiring to become chaplains in the Army and Navy to Rev. B. D. Gray. Upon the re- commendation of Dr. Gray to the Federal Council com- mittee on chaplains, which in turn made recommendation Southern Baptist 21 to the Government, 5 Southern Baptists were appointed chaplains in the Regular Army, 140 in the National Army and 9 in the Navy. Chaplains assigned to service overseas were provided with $250 in cash for equipment. It was specified that no part of the $250 was to be used for the purchase of a communion set, as the Council believed it necessary to have a local church membership present in order to hold a commtinion service. The chaplains were also given all the Testaments they could use, a specially prepared song-book, "Select Gospel Songs," and a Sunday- school quarterly on "March with the Master." Any book published by the Sunday School Board, Nashville, Termessee, which could be used as a text book was furnished in such quantities as the chaplains desired. The war work of the Southern Baptist Convention has been under the direction of the Home Mission Board, in cooperation with the War Commission of the Northern Baptist Convention and the several state boards of missions. The organization of the Board is such that the work will be continued so long as there is need for the spiritual and religious care of the soldiers by a Baptist pastor. 22 Christian WAR-WORK COMMISSION OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH 126 Chestnut Street, Albany, N. Y. C. P. A. Building, Dayton, Ohio Coffin, Rev. F. G., Chairman, 126 Chestnut Street, Albany, N. Y. Burnett, Rev. J. P. Harper, President W. A. Eldredge, Harmon Thomas, Rev. Omer S. Committee on Anny and Navy Chaplains Harper, President W. A., Chairman, Elon College, N. C. The War-Work Commission of the Christian Church was appointed by the Executive Board of the American Christian Convention immediately succeeding the creation of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches. Associated with it and working conjointly was the Com- mittee on Army and Navy Chaplains. These two units of organization were later combined upon their joint request and have continued their work under the title of the War- Work Commission of the Christian Church. As in all such cases, the Commission found it necessary to devise, finance and execute its own program without the advantage of precedent or opportunity of delay for general consultation. A general appeal was made at once through the various church publications for funds to be disbursed at the wisdom of the Commission for religious purposes in the war. The response was generous and met the immediate needs for all plans inaugurated by the Commission. The Commission would have found it pos- sible to have initiated a larger program had the financial plan been better systematized in the beginning. Among the first commissional efforts was the attempt Christian 23 to swell the number of men available for regular and Red Cross chaplaincies, visiting clergymen and Y. M. C. A. workers. Appeals for this purpose were given widespread publicity through periodicals, circulars and private cor- respondence. The response was satisfactory. During the period of camp pastors, a number of clergymen located near the military camps rendered signal service in promoting the rehgious welfare of the soldiers. The Commission encouraged, and in some instances promoted, this form of service. An effort to stimulate responsiveness to the home de- mands of the war in the interest of both patriotism and Christianity was undertaken. A booklet, "Fuel for the Home Fires," was prepared by the Chairman of the Com- mission and distributed to every communicant of the Church so far as possible. It attempted to be helpful in an outline of personal Christian duties in promotion of a victorious war and stable peace, as well as an organized effort for the boys in Service. It was in reality an outline of the purpose and program of the Church in relation to the war and was generally followed as such. Very many responses resulted on the practical side of this program. Much other literature has been distributed to the constit- uency, which includes Christian Endeavor societies, brotherhoods and Sunday-schools. Each chaplain who has gone out has been equipped by the Commission with a communion set, a typewriter, and a cash fund of $150 for use in his work. The Commission has also supplemented the work of chaplains in many ways and has kept constantly in touch with them while in Service. A copy of "Call to Arms" was sent to every boy in military service from the parishes of the denomination. An Honor List of all these soldiers, so far as their names 24 Christian could be learned, was published in the Christian Annual to be permanently preserved. Local church organizations were encouraged to keep in helpful touch with all • soldiers. The Commission has not had stated times of meeting.. Conferences have been held as need has arisen. Many of the details have been cared for by an apportionment of the Commission's work. Its offices have been in connection with the offices of the American Christian Convention and most of the clerical help has been supplied from these offices in Da3rton and Albany. The commissioners are at present considering a per- manent memorial with a religious purpose to commemorate the heroism of the boys of the Church. The conferences of the denomination have been visited by members of the Comotnission, or others delegated by them, to secure full cooperation in post-war plans. Where the Interchurch Emergency Campaign has been presented, the results have been a surprise to even the most sanguine. Many plans of helpfulness to the returning soldiers are now being worked out and local committees are being urged through printed matter and correspondence to see that employment is f otmd and that the men are imme- diately related to the Church and community life in a mutually helpful way. Christian Science 25 CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WAR ACTIVITIES 236 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Mass. Christian Science Board of Directors'' War activities of the Christian Scientists began with the creation of a war reHef fund by The Christian Science Board of Directors in October, 1914. These activities may be included under four heads: war relief, camp welfare, comforts forwarding, and chaplains in the Army and Navy. In September, 1914, Christian Science churches of Paris, through specially appointed committees, formed at the request of the French authorities, organized definite relief work to care for the war sufferers, sick, wounded, and destitute. After a little the work grew to such importance and received such commendation from the authorities that aid was asked of The Mother Church in Boston. This and other apparent needs led to the es- tablishment of a fund by the Christian Science Board of Directors which has amounted to approximately $2,000,- 000, nearly all of which has been expended for relief and welfare work of various kinds among war sufferers in general, regardless of religious afEliations. In England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Norway and Denmark this ftmd was administered by Christian Scientists, volunteers without pay, an arrangement by which practically all the money allotted was expended for the relief work itself, almost without expense of ad- ministration. Aid was usually rendered to individuals after careful examination as to their need but in France substantial stims were contributed to various committees, *List of officers has been omitted by request. 26 Christian Science Prefects of Departments and Mayors of Communes whose administration was known to be notably wise and economical. In Italy the relief work directed from Flor- ence was confined largely to cities near the war zone. To relieve the suffering occasioned by the accidental setting off of a ship load of high explosives at Halifax in December, 1917, the Christian Science Board of Direc- tors sent a special train of supplies in charge of a compe- tent committee, who were able to render very substantial assistance to the stricken people. This was the first private train to arrive on the scene. The sum of $35,000 was expended in this enterprise. The Comforts Forwarding Committee, consisting of more than a thousand groups of Christian Scientists throughout the United States, provided more than 1,000,000 knitted and sewed garments for soldiers, sailors, welfare workers of other organizations and European refugees. These were delivered through various agencies, including the Belgian Relief Commission, Italian War Relief Committee, the American Fund for French Wounded, the Serbian and Polish Relief, the Russian Relief and the Wellesley and Smith College Units. Through its Paris office the Committee has also dis- tributed many thousands of garments. A shipment through this agency of 125 cases of well chosen garments was practically the first to reach the destitute people in the Department of the Aisne in the vicinity of St. Quentin. Besides, a considerable quantity of yam has been sup- plied in bulk to small factories conducted by French charities, which employ at fair wages the widows and dependents of French soldiers killed in battle. The War Relief Committee in America carried on camp welfare work in answer to a very general demand that more assistance be rendered to Christian Scientists Christian Science 27 serving in the Army and Navy. To meet the needs suitable buildings and tents were erected within or near the large camps and cantonments, and in many of the Army posts, training stations, marine barracks, and hospitals. The prime necessity for welfare work became apparent when it was found that in a single camp at one time there were more than 1,200 Christian Scientists among the soldiers in training. A special feature of this work was the daily distribution of The Christian Science Monitor, which was supplied to any officer or en- listed man in the Service who desired it. This led to the distribution at one time of more than 40,000 copies of this paper daily. There were also supplied to any man in uniform who expressed a desire, the Bible, the Christian Science text book, "Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy," and a Lesson Quarterly. To facilitate the camp welfare work, more than 70 auto- mobiles were owned and operated by the Committee. A welfare office was maintained in Paris at 3 Avenue de rOpera and similar war relief depots were established at Bordeaux, Brest, St. Nazaire, Nantes, Le Mans, Romorantin, Nevers, Tours and Langres to render such service as was needed among members of the American Expeditionary Forces, who found there much of comfort and encouragement. Similar welfare rooms or buildings were established in many towns in England and Scotland for the benefit of English soldiers and sailors and members of the American Expeditionary Forces stationed in those cotmtries. Excellent examples of these rooms were those at 112 Eaton Square, London, and 512 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Much attention has been given to the men in hospitals both in America and overseas. Ten Christian Scientists were appointed chaplains, nine in the Army and one in the Navy. The naval chap- 28 Christian Science lain served with the Mine Laying Fleet in the North Sea during all its critical operations. Several of the Army chaplains served with our troops in the Argonne and in Flanders. These men conducted themselves with credit and distinction and several are still in Service in the con- centration camps in France and with the Army of Occu- pation in Germany. It is reported that they have been commended by the Chaplain in charge of the work overseas and have gained the highest esteem of oiScers and men alike.

When war began between the European nations it at once affected the life of our own nation and especially the churches to such an extent that it was necessary for vital readjustments to be made. The Social Service Commis- sipn attempted to meet the demands as best it could. When, however, our own nation entered the conflict it be- 30 Congregational came clear that some special agency must be created to meet the new situation that we faced. The National Council held in Columbus, O., October 10-18, 1917, voted: "That a National Service Commis- sion of twenty-five persons be appointed, charged with leadership in the field of the national and international obligations of our churches: "That it be directed to give early and diligent attention to the duties arising from the war, especially re-enforcing the work of chaplains and the Y. M. C. A. ; aiding churches near training camps to meet the demand upon them; co- operating with the Government Food Administration; promoting patriotic response to the nation's needs; serving the welfare of the young men being sent to war; and fur- nishing the churches all possible help in their study of the world problems, in the solution of which they must share." The persoDiiel of the Commission has changed from time to time owing to resignations and to war emergencies and other inabilities to serve on the part of the men. It was voted by the Executive Committee that the Com- mission be authorized to open an office in New York and that the Social Service Department of the Education So- ciety be requested to loan the services of its Secretary to the Commission for the period of the war. It was recognized from the first that a work of such world-wide reach to meet needs that the churches had never before been called upon to rtieet could not be defined nor even fully outlined. However, a statement was made of the situation and this program was adopted as an out- line indicating the scope of the work and plans of the Com- mission. On the basis of this program the Commission has cooperated with other Christian agencies in caring for the moral and spiritual interests of the soldiers, and Congregational 31 especially of those who had gone out from Congregational families. Besides the specific work indicated later, it was to be ready on call to do anjrthing that the churches could do to help the soldiers. The Commission has kept in very close touch with the other Christian agencies that are at work caring for the welfare of the soldiers and sailors. It has also done much in the way of cooperating with the Government. Through an exhaustive effort, it has secured for the Government a knowledge of all that is done by Congregational churches for the foreign peoples located in their neighborhoods, and has also suggested to the churches the kind of work the Government desires them to do along this line. The Commission has also mediated between the Govern- ment and the churches in such work as that of Food Con- servation, support of Red Cross, War Loans, etc. Cam- paigns have been organized to help in each one of the Liberty Loans and speakers have been furnished. Dr. Eaton, representing the Commission, was for several months stationed in Washington as special representative on the Food Administration. Through close cooperation with the National Committee on the Churches and the Moral Aims of the War, the Commission has made a real contribution toward the mobilization of the mind of Ameri- ca for the carr5dng on and winning of the war. The Commission has cooperated with the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, constituted by the Federal Council. This General Commission is a clearing house for all the churches cooperating in war work but does not itself do the work. That is left to the cooperat- ing churches. There has been close cooperation with that Commission. The Secretary has been a member of the Commission, of its Executive Committee, its Advisory Committee, and Chairman of its Committee on Inter- 32 Congregational church Buildings. In all of its relationships the officers of the Congregational Commission have been active in conference and service. The Commission has cooperated with the Army and Navy Departments' Commissions on Training Camp Activities, with other Churches, and all welfare agencies, to the end that communities be kept clean and safe for men off duty. The Commission on Training Camp Activities, under national appointment and authority, has worked to keep a "white zone" around each camp, to remove and keep away from this zone evil resorts and influences of all kinds, to fill it with opportiinities for wholesome recreation, and to give the soldiers when outside the camp genial and helpful con- ditions. It does not do this work itself, but enlists and coordinates the work of other agencies. There is much cooperative work for the churches to do that in the nature of the case cannot be done by a national organization. The Congregational churches attempt to do their share of this work through their National Service Commission, as for example, at Upton, Ayer and Wrightstown. It has also recognized that in dealing with the problems within the camps it should deal through the Army chaplains and the Y. M. C. A., and this has invariably been its method of approach. The Commission has shared with the local Congrega- tional churches in communities adjacent to the camps the responsibilities which arise from the presence of the sol- diers. It would not have been fair to throw all the work and expense of caring for the thousands, who thus came suddenly to their doors, upon the local churches, nor could they have performed the task without extra assistance. This was regarded as the Commission's greatest re- sponsibility. Near various large camps there were Con- Congregational 33 gregational churches necessarily called upon to render ser- vice to the soldiers, which were poorly equipped for the work, and several of them with pastors already over- burdened. Assistant pastors had to be provided to enable them to render effective service. This was especially true of the colored Congregational churches near the camps where colored soldiers were located. This class of sol- dier particularly needed the instruction, inspiration, and fellowship of the Church. Assistance to the local churches was given at Atlanta, Lawton, Waukegan, San Diego, Rockford, Battle Creek and San Antonio. The Commission has kept the lines of communication open between the home church and the men who were to go overseas, and has cooperated to keep active the re- ligious forces under whose influence they had lived at home. The local churches, with their social forces and writing rooms, were especially adapted to aid in maintain- ing the home ties and influences. There was necessarily cooperation with other organizations in this work and plans for even more effective service were under way when the war came to an end. The Commission has aided the churches to emphasize the moral interpretation of the war and the need of social, industrial and political reconstruction after the war. The Commission has done a valuable piece of service in this realm. It has printed reports and series of articles on definite phases of the war and tried to lead the think- ing of the people and furnish them the necessary stiihulus for doing their full share in the emergency. The need for this educational campaign was very marked. There was need to educate the churches as to the aims of America in the war, to provide a program of service for war-time, and to issue such information as ministers might use toward a program of reconstruction following the war. This was 34 Congregational undertaken by literature, study courses, and speaking cam- paigns. One of the most important tasks that devolved upon the Commission was that of providing equipment for the chap- lains. The Government appoints the chaplains and pays them a salary, but does not equip them for the work. For this they need communion services, hymn books, portable typewriters for the extensive correspondence they are called upon to maintain for those in the hospitals and others, and a sum of money to meet the constant stream of demands made upon them in the service of the soldiers. The Commission has endeavored to provide the Con- gregational chaplains with this equipment. Disciples 35 WAR EMERGENCY COMMITTEE FOR THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST Carew Building, Cincinnati, O.

Reconstruction Committee Bowman, Edward M., Chairman, 1 West 67th Street, New York City. The work of the Committee took varied forms as the progress of the nation's war preparation revealed needs and opportunities. The first need to arise was that of giving aid to churches adjacent to Army cantonments to help them meet the situation. The Disciple Church at Deming, N. M. , needed a house of worship. Even a liberal loan from the Board of Church Extension would not have made it possible to build and equip the house so as to meet the needs of the boys at Camp Cody. The Committee made an appropriation of $500 on equipment. At Rockford, 111., near Camp Grant, the church build- ing was new and burdened with debt. An appropriation of $25 per month was granted to make possible the keeping of the chtirch building open, and later another appropria- tion not exceeding $20 per month was granted the pastor for the up-keep of his automobile in service to and from the camp. 36 Disciples Ford automobiles were provided for use at Hattiesburg (Camp Shelby), Anniston (Camp McClellan), and half the purchase price and half the up-keep were provided for an automobile at Lawton (Camp Doniphan), for the use of the ministers in connection with the nearby camps. The next need to become evident was that of providing ministers for voluntary service in the camps. At Camp Zachary Taylor, Louisville, Ky., at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, 0., and at Camp Lewis, Tacoma, Wash., permanent visiting clergymen were provided in cooperation with the state boards and local churches. The Committee asked the churches to lend their pastors for a month's voluntary service, and visiting clergymen were provided at the following camps for the time indicated: At Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss., Mr. C. H. Winders of Indianapolis served during January, Mr. F. E. Smith of Muncie, Ind., during February, Mr. David H. Shields of Kokomo, Ind., diuing March, Mr. Clay Trusty of Indian- apolis, Ind., during April and a part of May, and Mr. P. P. Hasselvander, Bluefield, W. Va., during May and a part of June. At Camp McClellan, Anniston, Ala., Mr. William D. Ryan of Youngstown, O. , served during February, Mr. A. F. Stahl of Maysville, Ky., during March and Mr. C. J. Henry was made permanent pastor of the church, with privileges in the camp, and was given a special appropria- tion from the Committee. At Camp Logan, Houston, Tex., Mr. M. L. Pontius of Jacksonville, 111., served during February, Mr. John R. Golden of Decatur, 111., during March, and Mr. E. S. Fisher of Champaign, 111., during April. At Camp Travis, San Antonio, Tex., Mr. Edgar De- Witt Jones of Bloomington, 111., served during a part of February and March. Disciples 37 At Camp Custer, Battle Creek, Mich., Mr. Edgar De- Witt Jones of Bloomington, 111., served during a portion of March, and the permanent pastor located with the church also served at the camp. At Camp Grant, Rockford, 111., Mr. Clark W. Cum- mings of Janesville, Wis., served during February and March, Mr. V. W. Blair of Eureka, 111., during May, Mr. M. L. Pontius of Jacksonville, during July, August and a part of September. An appropriation voted for a perma- nent pastor of the church was made by the Committee. At Camp Doniphan, Lawton, Okla., Mr. L. W. Mc- Creary of St, Louis served diuing April, Mr. Elmore Sin- clair of Kansas City, diuing May and Mr. C. Emerson Miller of Marjrville, Mo., during June. At Camp Sheridan, Montgomery, Ala., Mr. Walter Mansell of Warren, 0., served during April, and Mr. J. J. Tisdall of Columbus, during May. At Camps Hill and Stuart, Newport News, Va., Mr. T. E. Winter of Philadelphia, Pa., served during April, Mr. T. C. Horn of Sayre, Pa., during May, and by special re- quest, Mr. T. E. Winter of Philadelphia, during Jtily and August. At Camp Beauregard, Alexandria, La., Mr. William H. Allen of New Orleans served during May and Mr. W. J. Cockrill of Port Arthur, Tex., during June. At Norfolk Navy Base, Mr. B. S. Ferrall of Buffalo, N. Y., served during May and returned by special request for July, August and a part of September. At Camp Lee, Petersburg, Va., an appropriation was made for a permanent pastor of Petersburg church. At Camp Funston, Ft. Riley, Kans., Mr. Henry Pearce Atkins of Mexico, Mo., served diuing part of April and May. After that an appropriation was made to Man- hattan and Ft. Riley churches to take care of the situation. 38 Disciples The War Emergency Committee had the highest testi- monials from religious work directors regarding the ef- ficiency and value of the service rendered by these men. In nearly all cases the local church also was strengthened by their presence and the work put upon a new footing. When the time came for the boys to go "over there," however, and the number of chaplains appointed for the army was increased to one for each twelve hundred officers and enlisted men, this form of support was gradually withdrawn and attention was turned to the equipment of the chaplains. Although the Committee funds were nearly exhausted, arrangements were made through the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, 105 East 22d Street, New York, where a depot of chaplains' supplies was opened, to supply Disciple chaplains, upon order, with the minimum necessary equipment, consisting of portable typewriter, field communion set and clinic communion set, at a cost of about $100 per chaplain. This equipment, in whole or in part, has been furnished to thirty chaplains, and orders placed for others. The appreciation which the chaplains feel is voiced in the following letter, selected from many similar ones: "My dear Brethren: I want to thank you for the as- sistance you have given me through the General War- Time Commission of the Churches. The Corona and the field communion set fill a long-felt need, and you may be sure that they are greatly appreciated and that they will be put to good use. Those of us who are chaplains in the Navy may not need quite as much help as those of the Army, but when we do need help we need it very badly. And the Disciples as a brotherhood may be sure that we chaplains appreciate their desire to help us in owe work." The Committee believes that chaplains ought to be sup- Disciples 39 lied with a "contingent fund" of approximately twenty- five dollars per month each, while "over there," with which to meet the emergency needs of their men where there may be no other source of supply. Many chaplains of other communions are thus provided and it gives them a contact with men not otherwise secured. Twenty-five hundred dollars per month could thus be used to the great- est advantage. The War Emergency Committee only needed larger funds to make its work more far-reaching in its benefits. To meet the important demands it was necessary to overdraw the War Emergency Fund. Mention of the fact should be made that two or three members of the Committee, besides giving of their time, made large donations to the support of this work which they felt to be of such vital importance. The American Christian Missionary Society has had a conamittee, resident in Washington, the members of which are also members of a committee of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, to see that the Dis- ciples are properly represented in the choice of chaplains for the Army and Navy. Brother E. B. Bagby has been Chairman of this Committee and has most satisfactorily handled its work, involving much correspondence and care- ful investigation, as well as frequent meetings with the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains. His report is submitted herewith : "Four years ago we were represented by one chaplain in the Army and one in the Navy; now we have seventy in the Army and s§ven in the Navy. Four years ago chap- lains were appointed through political influence upon the advice of members of congress; now the appointments are made upon the recommendation of denominational com- mittees and the approval of the secretaries of the Federal 40 Disciples Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Formerly chaplains were inducted into office without special prepara- tion; now the chaplains in the Navy are under the tutelage of senior chaplains, and the chaplains for the Army attend a five weeks' cotirse at the Training School for Chaplains at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky. Four years ago the American Christian Missionary Society asked E. B. Bagby, Peter Ainslie and Geo. A. Miller to serve as our Committee on Chaplains. They have been able to supply the quota assigned our people with worthy representatives in this important branch of otir country's service. The American board has appropriated a small sum to help de- fray the expenses of this committee and has given $100 toward the maintenance of the office of the Federal Coun- cil in Washington. It would be well if we could have a representation of our staff keep in touch by personal visits and by correspondence with all our chaplains, supply their needs, and have them report the results of their work to our Society."

The Commission on National Service of the Evangelical Association was formally organized on November 8, 1917. In the first place letters were sent to all the Evangelical Association pastors asking that the names of the young 42 Evangelical Association men in the service from their congregations, Sunday- schools and young people's societies with their full camp addressess be sent the Secretary. In response to this appeal the names and camp addresses of 5,300 of these young men were received at headquarters. A letter was immediately sent each one assuring him of the interest and solicitude of the home church. Each one was placed on the mailing list for the Church periodicals. In these letters were also enclosed some choice leaflets to encourage the men in their Christian life and conduct as it was desired to extend the helping hand of the home church. In this way about 12,000 letters were sent and many thousand leaflets. When the young men were sent overseas, the Com- mission was informed of the fact and another letter was sent to them. That these letters were greatly appreciated is evidenced by hundreds of replies received from the boys, both those in training and those on the far-flung battle lines of France and Flanders. During February and March, 1918, the Commission sent its Secretary on a tour through the camps of the South and South-West in order to visit the young men of the denomination as well as to minister to others. The following camps were visited on this tour: Sherman, Taylor, Oglethorpe, Gordon, McClellan, Sheridan, Shelby, Joseph E. Johnston, Hancock, Wadsworth, Greene, Lee, and Meade. Mr. Berger afterwards visited Dix, Allen- town and Fort Benjamin Harrison. This evidence of interest was greatly appreciated by the young men. The Commission also supported 35 visiting clergymen whose expenses were paid while performing their service. Lists of Evangelical boys with their addresses were sent to them week by week and they made it their duty to call on these boys at the camps. Evangelical Association 43 The pastors have been asked to send the Secretary the names and home addresses of the returned soldiers, that they may receive another letter of appreciation for their services. The names of all the young men of the Evangelical Association who have died in the Service are being gath- ered together with available data. An Honor Roll is be- ing prepared which will appear in the denominational periodicals. A letter of condolence is sent in each case to the parents or the nearest relative. The denomination has joined in all philanthropic move- ments such as supporting the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the War Chest, Liberty Loans, and War Saving Stamps, and has urged support of the Interchurch Emergency Campaign, although there is no tabulated record of what has been done in these efforts. Five chaplains were appointed from the Evangelical ministry and a goodly number of Evangelical preachers are in the Y. M. C. A. work of the several camps. A number of the young women of the denomination are in the Service also as nurses. 44 Evangelical Synod WAR WELFARE COMMISSION OF THE EVANGELICAL SYNOD OF NORTH AMERICA Columbus Building, 1876 Grand River Avenue, Detroit, Mich.

The War Welfare Commission of the Evangelical Synod was organized in September, 1917, by authority of the General Conference of the denomination meeting in Pitts- burgh, Pennsylvania, for its quadrennial conference. The Commission was charged with providing an adequate ministry for the men under arms and with performing all other war-time tasks that would properly come before it. From the records of the Commission it appears that about 25,000 men of the Evangelical denomination were under arms. To provide spiritually for these men, visi- ting clergymen were appointed in the camps of the Cen- tral-West, where the denomination has its main strength, while neighboring pastors were employed on part time in camps having smaller quotas of men. Twenty-two pas- tors all told were thus employed. Congregations near camps were given financial assist- ance and encouraged to give social functions of every description for the men in the camps. Evangelical Synod 45 Chaplains were given their equipment by the Commis- sion and were also provided with revolving funds of $250 for use in emergencies in their ministry to the men. The Commission attempted to maintain a card index of all Evangelical men in the Service and in spite of the fre- quent changes of address they were kept up to date by en- listing the aid of all local soldiers' committees. Thus the Commission maintained correspondence with some 10,000 men. It sent them special letters, seasonable greetings and devotional literature. Folders, pamphlets and book- lets, some published by the Commission and others pur- chased from other agencies, were sent to the men periodi- cally. Over 15,000 prayer booklets were distributed and also many htmdreds of Testaments. The Commission also acted as a medium through which the program of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches was brought to the attention of the pastors and congregations of the denomination. They were provided with suggestions for programs of patriotic services and memorial services and the Commission arranged special patriotic meetings in the large centers of the Church. Sug- gestions were also sent to local congregations for their work in behalf of their own men in the Service and all con- gregations were encouraged to keep in touch with their men by means of systematic correspondence. This was done by a great majority of the congregations. The Commission has begun the organization of men's clubs, brotherhoods and Bible classes so as to be as help- ful as possible to returned soldiers, to aid them, wherever possible, in securing emplo5Tiient, to give their service proper public recognition and to enlist them in the various services and tasks of the Church. 46 Friends AMERICAN FRIENDS SERVICE COMMITTEE 20 South Twelfth Street, Philadelphia, Pa.

The American Friends Service Committee is an organi- zation of Friends of all branches to combine with English Friends in the work of relief and reconstruction in France. This combined Committee has over there about 500 workers, mostly men, 200 of whom are English. The work contains several branches. A group of men are working in factories near the Swiss border making port- able houses, the material for which is given by the French 48 Friends Govermnent. These houses are shipped to various parts of the stricken area and are put up by other groups on the lots of the peasants. Others do work on the farms, repairing machinery and putting the ground in condi- tion for seeding, threshing the grain, and supplying new utensils and furniture at cost price or less. Still others were engaged, during the winter and summer of 1918, in removing the civilian population from the front of the German drive. There have been eight hospitals started for the suffering civilians and a great deal of relief work has been done in the villages near by. The first year there was expended some $700,000, con- tributed by Friends in America. With the close of the war and the increase in the number of relief workers, probably double this stmi will be needed. The workers serve without any compensation except food, clothing and transportation. The head of the whole movement in France is Charles J. Rhoads, who gave up his position as Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank for the Philadel- phia District and is serving without compensation in. Paris as General Organizer. The head of one of the principal hospitals. Dr. James A. Babbitt, left a lucrative surgical practice in Philadelphia to give free service to the suffer- ing civilian population in the neighborhood of Sermaize. Many of the workers in the Philadelphia and Paris offices receive no pay for their time. The result is that it requires only about $3.50 on every $100 expended to pay the ad- ministrative expenses. The remaining $96.50 are there- fore free to go to the actual relief and reconstruction in France. The work has been a Bureau of the civilian branch of the American Red Cross, which has given entire sjntnpathy and cooperation, considerable sums of money and material. An introduction to the war zone through Friends 49 the French Goveniment has enabled a large amount of work to be done. The plan for the future has been extended by the trans- ference to the Friends' Reconstruction Unit of a district of some 300 square miles immediately adjoining Verdun, perhaps the most devastated of the French war districts. A simi of money has been set apart for this special work and a preliminary survey has been handed in. It is prob- able that there will be a gradual concentration of the Friends' work in this and one other district. The Gov- ernment will assist the Friends with a large amoimt of material and the extra workers needed, but it asks the Friends to organize the whole movement and supply the ideas and the plans for development. The refugees will be collected from different regions in France, returned to their old homes and assisted in coming back to normal conditions. The Friends purpose to stay by this work until the French people are put on their feet. Being thrifty and self-reliant, they will not wish to be aided after this condition is reached. Further information may be gathered from the follow- ing bulletins: "First Annual Report of Charles Evans, Chief of Friends' Unit in France," "The General Condi- tion of the Reconstruction Unit in France," and "The First Year of American Friends' War Relief Service." 50 Jewish JEWISH WELFARE BOARD UNITED STATES ARMY AND NAVY 149 Fifth Avenue, New York City Cutler, Col.

The Jewish Welfare Board is a national body co- operating with and under the supervision of the War and Navy Departments' Commissions on Training Camp Activities. Although at its inception the Board repre- sented the efforts of fifteen Jewish organizations, striving for the war-time welfare of the Jewish soldier and sailor, it has been non-sectarian in its work. The service of the Jewish Welfare Board has been ex- tended to the soldiers and sailors from the day of their departure from home to the day of their return. The town branches, located in 165 cities throughout the country, gave send-offs to men entering Service, provided various comforts, arranged entertainment and religious services for men in camp, and arranged hospitality for men on furlough. They helped to cheer the men going off to war and, with the return of the fighting men, aided in the problem of re-emplojrment and re-adjustment. Trained Jewish Welfare Board representatives were 52 Jewish sent to every camp, naval base and hospital in the coun- try, and more than 50 J. W. B. camp buildings were erected. The welfare workers' task was to arrange and conduct Jewish religious services as well as classes, lectures, and entertainments; and to give information and good cheer to all men in uniform, serving especially those of Jewish faith. Twenty-five Jewish Welfare Board centers have been opened throughout France with about 175 workers, men and women, in charge. Paris clubrooms were opened during the summer of 1918 at 41 Boulevard Haussmann, and it was later found that additional quarters were necessary there. The overseas activities of the Jewish Welfare Board are similar to those that were carried out in camps and in this country during the war. To serve the home- coming troops 50 Jewish Welfare Board workers have been placed aboard transports. The Jewish Welfare Board has arranged for observ- ance of all holidays for Jewish men in uniform, and has cooperated with the War Department in the appointment of Jewish chaplains. It has distributed hundreds of thous- ands of khaki Hebrew prayer books, copies of the Scrip- tures, sheets of stationery, and pamphlets in Yiddish and English. The work has not stopped with the signing of the armistice but plans have been laid for full cooperation with the Government in meeting the problems of the returning soldier and changed conditions.

B. Lutheran Free Church Sverdrup, Professor George The National Lutheran Commission for Soldiers' and Sailors' Welfare was organized October 19, 1917. It of- ficially represents in war work twelve of the leading synod- ical bodies of the Lutheran Church which embrace about Lutheran 55 two-thirds of the membership of the Lutheran Church in America. In February, 1918, the Commission went to the Church with a request for $750,000 for a year's wel- fare work. The Church responded with a fund of about $1,300,000. Of this amount approximately $500,000 was expended the first year leaving an ample sum for the Commission to complete its welfare work for the boys during the demobilization period. The Commission started its work with the idea of "hav- ing the Church follow the boys" to camp, on seas, and on the field of battle, its function being to preach the Gospel and administer the sacraments to the Lutheran men, and to comfort and encourage them spiritually and mentally as the Church does in ordinary times. To put this program into effect, the Commission organ- ized a corps of workers consisting of an executive secre- tary and several office and field secretaries. Then it called to its assistance about 150 ministers who were as- signed to duty at camps and cantonments throughout the country for ministerial and pastoral work. These visiting clergymen were equipped by the Commission with their uniforms, typewriters, copies of the Service Book and other devotional literature, stationery for use of the soldiers and sailors, communion sets where none were available from local churches, and motor cars where the camps were so large as to make them necessary. Visiting clergymen have taken part in the conduct of the chaplain's, or regimental, service, Y. M. C. A. service, Bible classes, vespers, etc. ; the denominational service and services in barracks and detention camps. They have preached from two to as many as eight sermons in one Sun- day. Lutheran ministers appointed to chaplaincies in the Army or Navy were allowed an advance of $200 as a loan 56 Lutheran for the purchase of their initial personal equipment, and in addition were provided with such part of the following ser- vice equipment as they required: motor cycle with side car; folding typewriter; field communion set; pocket com- munion set; Army and Navy Service Book ; stationery for self and men; an emergency fund of SlOO or $200 for use in case of need or sickness of the men to whom they min- istered. Since war was declared by the United States there have been appointed 50 Lutheran ministers to chaplaincies iri the Army and 11 to chaplaincies in the Navy. These appointments have all been made upon the recommenda- tion of the Commission. For the efficient accomplish- ment of this part of its work as well as other features of its service which must have the attention and approval of de- partments of the Government, the Commission established and has maintained an office in Washington under the di- rection of a secretary. The Commission has assisted in some financial way Lutheran churches located near camps and capable of min- istering to the social and spiritual welfare of the boys. It has provided additional equipment and funds where avail- able to defray the expenses of this additional work or has negotiated loans for this purpose. The Commission's original budget carried $25,000 for co- operative buildings and it has participated in the erection or equipment of such buildings at camps Upton, Dix, Kearney, Merritt and Gordon. At the important embarkation and debarkation ports of New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, there have been es- tablished Service Houses, with a resident director in charge of each, and conducted in a way to make them as much like home as possible. These houses each afford sleeping ac- commodations for about fifty men, and morning and even- Lutheran 57 ing meals are served, all at merely nominal rates. They serve transients only. After their embarkation the boys were reached chiefly by mail. Several pieces of literature have been used in this "direct service," one of the most effective of which is entitled "The War Service Message for the Day," which is intended for the soldier's private Sunday devotion. It consists of a hymn, a collect or prayer, and a sermonette, a different Message for each Sunday of the year. This "Message" has been sent every week to every boy in the Army and Navy whose name could be secured for the Com- mission's list. Other literature used includes "When Jesus Was Here Among Men," a booklet of fifteen studies of the life of Christ, and accompanied by a card commissioning the sol- dier or sailor for personal service; Army and Navy Service Hymn aiid Prayer Books; the Soldiers' Catechistn, the Pocket Memorandum with data that is useful to the mili- tary man; and many other booklets, leaflets, etc. For the information of pastors, parents and friends of the boys in the Service, the Commission has published an eight-page paper entitled "Our Lutheran Boys," and in addition has maintained a weekly bulletin service of information for publication in the Lutheran Chtirch papers. In order to ascertain the ability of the Lutheran Church in France to minister to the soldiers of the American Army serving in that country and to discover in what manner and to what extent the work of the French Church on their behalf could be aided by the Church in America, the Commission, in October, 1918, sent as Commissioners to the Lutheran Church in France, Rev. Charles J. Smith, of New York, and Honorable Frank M. Riter, of Philadelphia. 58 Lutheran These men were in France for several months and suc- ceeded in establishing very satisfactory relations and be- ginning the work contemplated in their commissioning. At the request of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the Commission undertook to minister spiritually to the aliens and war prisoners interned in de- tention camps and war prisons. This difficult task has been accomplished both to the satisfaction of the Govern- ment and the comfort and welfare of the aliens and pris- oners. Cooperating with the Commission is an efficient Wom- an's Committee whose work is to supply knitted garments for use of the soldiers and sailors. Nearly 10,000 such garments knitted by the Lutheran women passed through the hands of this committee diiring the first year of its service. There are other important matters to which the Com- mission has given attention and in which it has done at least preliminary work. It is interested in the continuation of the education of young men, especially theological students, whose course of study was interrupted by military Service. It is helping make provision for religious work among the people called by the Government to live and work in "ord- ance reservations" and other "war production communi- ties," as well as other industrial centers in which the local church facilities were not adequate to meet the needs of the large increase in population caused by war production. It is cooperating with the Committee on The War and the Religious Outlook, organized to gather available data in reference to the effect of the war upon the religious thought of the world. To give an idea of the distribution of expenditure among the various branches of the Commission's service, the fol- Lutheran 59 lowing tabulation is given representing disbursements for approximately the first year of its work: Chaplains $25,424.44 Visiting Clergymen 120,315.54 Buildings 160,112.22 Literature 17,175.31 Welfare Work 54,047.07 Commissioners to France 23,285.84 Loans to National Lutheran Council. . 3,690.56 Washington Office Expenses 482.40 Administration Expenses 24,170.97 Office Expenses 20,803.90 PubUcity 1,573.39 Financial Campaign 12,918.02 Collection of funds 26,804.81 Miscellaneous 17,189.97 $507,994.44 The Commission has cooperated with the Lutheran Brotherhood of America, which was organized for the specific purpose of erecting and maintaining social welfare bmldings in the camps where the number of Lutheran boys in training justified such an expenditure. The largest of these buildings are those located at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, which cost $27,000, and at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, erected at an expense of $15,000. These buildings and similar, though smaller, ones at seven other important centers have given really great service, some of them ha-virig served several thousand boys daily. All of the foregoing statement is based upon the record of the first year of the Commission's work, and is submitted for publication several months in advance of the conclusion of its work. 60 Lutheran Synodical Conference LUTHERAN CHURCH BOARD FOR ARMY AND NAVY, U.

Lutheran Synodical Conference 61 At its general convention in Milwaukee, 1917, the Synod of Missouri, Ohio and Other States, recognizing the im- portance both to Church and state of work among the men with the colors, directed its President, the Rev. F. Pfotenhauer, to appoint a commission to begin its duties at once. This commission subsequently asstmied the official name "Lutheran Church Board for Army and Navy, U. S. A." and represented and acted for the Sjniodical Conference. With the rapid increase in number and size of the military and naval establishments of our Government, the work of the Board assumed totally unexpected pro- portions and because of the rapid growth of the work on the Atlantic seaboard a subsidiary committee, the Eastern Department, was organized. New conditions had to be met. New problems presented themselves for solution. Old quarters were quickly outgrown. Ample office facilities were finally obtained by renting a large suite of rooms in an office building in the heart of Chicago. From this, as its headquarters, the Board has directed its work and carried on its widespread activities. A pastor was assigned to practically every military and naval station in this country. Some of these pastors were relieved for a longer or shorter period from all con- gregational work and devoted their entire time to the camps. The Board had in its service at various times 70 pastors who gave their entire time to the work and 124 visiting pastors who devoted only a part of their time. These together had charge of 359 stations. In its distribution of literature, the Walther League, a young people's organization of the S}modical Confer- ence, assisted financially and otherwise. The Board published, under the editorship of Rev. Karl G. Schlerf, the "Soldiers' and Sailors' Bulletin," a monthly periodi- 62 Lutheran Synodical Conference cal, which was sent gratis to the men in uniform. Of this, 450,000 copies were distributed. The Board also dis- tributed 425,000 sermons, 80,000 prayer books, 12,000 Testaments, 60,000 tracts and 1,000,000 sheets of stationery. The Board assisted the thirteen Government chap- lains from the denomination to obtain equipment and furnished them with helps for their work. The Board had a representative on the National Lutheran Commission, Rev. A. Brunn, and coooperated with it in such matters as representation to the Govern- ment and camp officials of matters pertaining to the Lutheran Church, the erection of buildings, the establish- ment of Lutheran centers and the maintenance of head- quarters in these buildings. While the Synod is not affiliated with the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, it has been represented at the meetings of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches by Rev. D. H. Steffens, and on the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains by Rev. J. Frederic Wenchel. The Finance Committee carried through a very suc- cessful drive and "every-member campaign" in Sep- tember, 1918, in the congregations connected with the Synodical Conference. The amount of money raised for the work has been $559,230.79. Of the constituency of the S3modical Conference, 1,500,000 people with 500,000 communicants, 50,000 men are reported to have been in the Army and Navy, 10,645 of them overseas. African Methodist Episcopal 63 WAR-TIME COMMISSION OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH 1S41 Fourteenth Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. Hawkins, Professor John R., Secretary, 1541 14th Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Johnson, Bishop J. Albert, 1412 North 18th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. At the regular mid-winter session of the Council of Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, held at Louisville, Ky., February 12, 1918, it was ordered that there be established a War-Time Commission to co- operate with the General War-Time Commission of the Churches. The Commission has endeavored to render all possible aid in cooperation with other agencies that have done so much towards helping the men called to serve our country in the world-wide war. Special attention was given to the work of selecting suitable men as chaplains for the Army. Up to the time of the signing of the armistice about 20 appHcants had been passed upon favorably and their names certified to the War Department through the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains. The following named were appointed and assigned as indicated: Regular Army: Rev. A. W. Thomas 24th Inf. National Army: Rev. Henry M. Collins 309th Labor Bat., A. E. P. Rev. Alfred G. Casper Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va. Rev. E. W. S. Dinsmore 314th Labpf Bat., Camp Gprdpn, Ga. 64 African Methodist Episcopal National Army — Continued: Rev. Richard A. Green ..159th Depot Brig., Camp Taylor, Ky. Rev. John A. HUl Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va. Rev. F. D. L. McDonald 11th Division, Camp Meade, Md. Rev. Louis Allen McGee A. E. P. Rev. C. G. Parks 350th P. A., A. E. P. Rev. James T. Simpson A. E. P. Rev. G. A. Singleton 317th Eng., A. E. P. Rev. Noah W. Williams A. E. P. Three others were members of the graduating class of chaplains at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky., at the time of the signing of the armistice. In addition to this, particular attention was given to the work of selecting persons to serve as visiting clergy- men at camps where colored soldiers were stationed and to which no chaplain had been assigned. The work of these men was most commendable in that they served without any regular stipend or salary. In order to help these chaplains and visiting clergymen in securing working and personal equipment — particularly the chaplains — the Commission recommended a special appropriation to each, said appropriation being paid from the Department of Finance and Church Extension out of the Emergency Fund provided for in the budgets of these respective departments. Throughout the connection there has been a general response to appeals and to the special needs of soldiers on the part of pastors and members of the local churches in communities near the camps or cantonments. Special engagements have been made for addresses and visita- tion committees to do special work in the camps and also to arrange for entertainments for soldiers on leave or on furlough. Clubs have been formed for the special purpose of co- operating with the agencies doing war work under the African Methodist Episcopal 65 auspices of the American Red Cross, War Camp Com- munity Service and like organizations. In this way the emergency educational and social service work among and for the soldiers was kept con- stantly before the people. The work has not been confined to colored soldiers. In all activities care has been taken to magnify the importance of enlightening the people on the great questions that affect the interest of America and induce them to contribute cheerfully and liberally in helping to push forward every movement inaugtuated for win- ning the war for democracy. The Commission feels that there has been no appeal to which the people of this denomination have not responded with a spirit of patriotism and devotion unexcelled. The needs of suffering peoples in Europe have been felt and have touched a responsive chord in the hearts of thousands whose sympathy was easily aroused to the extent of giving even to the point of sacrifice. In it all and through all there has been a beautiful manifestation of the Christ spirit. While it has been hard to keep any accurate accoimt of actual money raised and expended in canying on these activities, it is safe to say that between four and five thousand dollars have been applied in the various phases of this special war work. 66 Methodist Episcopal NATIONAL WAR COUNCIL OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, John Marshall Place and C Street, Washington, D.

When the United States declared war against Germany the Methodist Episcopal Church at once sent word to President Wilson that she was ready to help to the full extent of her resources. A War Council of the Church was immediately organized under the Department of Evangelism of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension. A drive for $250,000 was made to carry on war work. It was at orice found, however, that this amount would be entirely inadequate to meet the demands, so the National War Council was organized for the raising of $1,000,000, the Board of Home Missions still acting as the executive agency for all war work. All the distribution of money for war activity has come from the Bureau of War Activities under the Department of Evangelism of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Church. 68 Methodist Episcopal The program of war activities as undertaken by this Department may roughly be summed up in four divisions: i.e., visiting clergymen, activities near the camps, war in- dustry work and chaplains. The Methodist Church was among the first to send pas- tors into the cantonments to care for the spiritual welfare of the men. At the beginning of the war the call for this kind of work was imperative, as the quota of chaplains was deplorably inadequate. In most cases the visiting clergy- men were attached to churches near the camps. The Council feels that the work they rendered cannot be too highly praised. The work in the zone about the camps has been consid- ered as highly important, and it has been the aim of the Council to intensify its efforts in these spheres. It has supplemented the salaries of the pastors of the nearby churches, and in some instances has helped to make pos- sible an assistant for the already overworked pastor. It has aided in the improvement and equipment of these churches. With the assistance of the Woman's Home Mis- sionary Society it has been able to place several deaconesses in important centers and they have rendered very excep- tional service. Large numbers of girls have been brought together as yeowomen and as workers in war industries. Housing conditions in most places near the camps are un- certain and the sudden influx of hundreds and, in some in- stances, thousands of people have made the task of the communities and the chtu-ches at once difficult and serious. The Hostess House at Camp Dix under the care of the Woman's Home Missionary Society was of great service to mothers during the terrible influenza epidemic. Important as has been the work in the zones of the camps, it must surrender the flrst place to those centers where have been brought together many thousands of men Methodist Episcopal 69 and women to speed up the production of those necessities that helped to win the war. The Board of Home Missions, headed by their representative, Mr. W. H. Wehrly, made an extensive study of this war industry problem. In some instances the housing situation was acute and in others such dangerous health conditions prevailed that they vitally affected the welfare and efliciencyjof the workers. Through his work a program was introduced into such localities and the agencies at hand, regardless of their de- nomination, readily gave their aid in cleaning up these con- ditions. The results accomplished in most instances have been beyond all expectation. There were more than two hundred centers where the output of industries and the efficiency and welfare of the workers were adversely affected by the conditions of the community life. One of the outstanding services that has been rendered in the way of war work has been the equipment and care of Methodist chaplains. For a long time it was impossible to learn just what equipment would be needed and al- lowed by the Government to be taken abroad. The Coun- cil finally settled upon a standard equipment consisting of a communion service and $250. Where chaplains were re- tained in American camps with great distances to travel, motorcycles and side cars were provided for them. Some chaplains went overseas before the Council was sufficiently organized to get equipment to them, but arrangements were made with Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, located in France, to secure for them the needed equipment. The Training School for Chaplains at Louisville, Kentucky, was visited and the men were equipped as soon as they re- ceived their commissions. The approximate number of Methodist chaplains that have been "with the colors" is 325. Since the armistice has been signed, a Department of 70 Methodist Episcopal War Emergency and Reconstruction has been organized in the Centenary. It has taken over the duties of the National War Council, the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension still retaining the administrative functions. All moneys for war work in the homeland and for chaplains in the field have been administered through the agencies of this Board. The personnel of the Department of War Emergency and Reconstruction is as follows: President William Arnold Shanklin, Executive Chairman; Bishop Theodore S. Henderson, Executive Secretary; Dr. James R. Joy, Recording Secretary; Bishop W. F. McDowell, Chairman of the War Emergency Committee; Rev. George B. Dean, Executive Secretary; Bishop J. F. Berry, Chairman of the Committee of War Reconstruction at Home; Rev. Paul L. Vogt, Executive Secretary; Bishop W. F. Anderson, Chairman of the Committee of War Reconstruction Abroad; Rev. Bertrand M. Tipple, Executive Secretary. To the Committee on Reconstruction at Home was as- signed a task of discovering what the Church should do in order that the needs resulting from the war might be met in an adequate way, and to learn what is needed in order that the Church may perform her proper ministry during the period of readjustment and reconstruction. With the aid of district superintendents, an investi- gation has been conducted in city and country, in newly developed industrial communities, and where great shifts of population are occurring on the newly planned govern- mental construction and reclamation projects, all of which require that the Church anticipate the need of resources and leadership. Many cases of acute need have been found on account of emergency conditions in Methodist hospitals and orphan- ages. The influenza epidemic left thousands of orphans, Methodist Episcopal 71 thus entailing unanticipated expense upon these institu- tions. The hospitals have been receiving crippled soldiers and members of soldiers' families and are performing a wonderful service in reconstruction. With the sudden disbanding of the Student Army Train- ing Corps a ntunber of promising young men have been left stranded without resources and in immediate danger of having their college careers ended. A number of men re- turning from military and naval Service find themselves without funds to continue their college education unless they can receive some help. By an arrangement with the Board of Education loans are being made to these students. Only such students as attain rigid standards of scholar- ship and give promise of great usefulness receive this aid. Upon certain conditions these loans will be cancelled with scholarships. An Americanization program is being carried on through the churches located in communities affording such an op- portunity. A careful survey is being made of the responsibility re- sultant from the great migration of negroes to the North. The Church has cooperated with and has been able to render real service for the U. S. Employment Service and the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The Department is endeavoring to keep in touch with returning chaplains and to help them by referring them to the Bishops of their respective conference districts. There have been approximately 500 Methodist ministers engaged in Y. M. C. A. work in this country and abroad. 72 Methodist Episcopal, South WAR WORK COMMISSION OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH 40-41 Washington Post Building, Washington, D. C.

Methodist Episcopal, South 73 Committee on Chaplains Lambuth, Bishop Walter R., Chairman, 40 Washington Post Build- ing, Washington, D. C. The War Work Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, was organized on April 27, 1917, enlarged on October 26, 1917, and was formally constituted by action of the General Conference on May 10, 1918. From the first, the Commission, through its various agencies, has been active in supplying the quota of chap- lains for the Army and Navy; in selecting and maintaining soldier pastors in the Southern camps; cooperating with the secretarial forces of the Young Men's Christian As- sociation; publishing bulletins, circulating the Scriptures and wholesome religious literature for the soldiers; in cooperative effort with the Government in Red Cross, Lib- erty Loan and Food Conservation campaigns; in strength- ening the forces that make for temperance and social purity in and out of the camps ; and in fostering the spirit of prayer and patriotism in the local church and community. The ftill quota of chaplains assigned the Church has been put forward and the chaplains furnished with working and personal equipment and a contingent fund to help soldiers in emergencies. A bureau of correspondence between chaplains has been maintained, through which all chaplains have been fur- nished with copies of letters from other chaplains reporting to the office concerning their work. This has been of in- calculable good in carrying to each the best and most suc- cessful methods of work used by others. Through this bureau of correspondence, the office of the Commission has been enabled to keep in sympathetic touch with the chap- lains, and has also been enabled to keep the Church gen- erally informed as to what the chaplains are doing. 74 Methodist Episcopal, South Prior to the order of the War Department concerning camp pastors, suitable men were maintained in all the larger camps within the territory of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. These men were furnished with necessary equipment, paid salaries, and furnished with contingent funds to enable them properly to carry on their work. With the change in the status of the camp pastors headquarters in the cities adjacent to camps have been opened for the soldiers, with reading rooms and equipment for their comfort and welfare and ministers of the Gospel have been appointed in charge of these headquarters with special duty of ministering to soldiers on leave, of bringing these into the Church services of the city and also minister- ing in the camps as opportunity is afforded. The Commission has striven to interest all the churches of cities near camps through which soldiers pass to shape their services especially in behalf of soldiers. The results have been gratifying. The churches have almost without exception provided entertainment of a high order through receptions, socials and varied forms of service, as well as giving welcome to soldiers at their regular preaching ser- vices and striving to bring the power of the Gospel into their lives. Appropriations have been made to help weak churches located near camps in ministering adequately to soldiers. Liberal appropriations have been made toward the erection of adequate chtirch buildings for churches adjacent to camps that these might minister more effectively to soldiers and sailors. The Commisssion now has under considera- tion the building of church plants for commtmities that have sprung up because of camps and war industries. Bibles, service books, Sunday-school lesson books, and song books have been widely distributed. Special effort has been made through soldier pastors and Methodist Episcopal, South 75 chaplains to encourage Bible study among the soldiers, with gratifying results. Definite effort has been made to interest each church in the matter of proper welcome to returning soldiers. Each pastor has been urged to organize the committees in his church especially to assist the soldiers and civilian war workers returning to the community to secure proper em- ployment. Employment bureaus are being opened in each episcopal district to cooperate with the U. S. Em- ployment Service in this work of emplo5mient for returning soldiers, sailors and civilian war workers. Constant effort is being put forth to reach the soldiers themselves and urge them immediately to see their pastor upon returning home and enter heartily into all the work of the Church. Thou- sands of letters are being handed to individual soldiers as they come over on transports and in the demobilization camps, urging them to lay hold of the Church and carry on, through its agencies, the great program of service that shall make abiding the military victory they have helped to win. This Commission has looked after the working and per- sonal equipment of chaplains of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church; is now supporting work in behalf of negroes in war production communities; and, through Bishop W. R. Lambuth, has rendered special ministry in behalf of negro troops in France. Bishop W. R. Lambuth, Chairman of the Commission, has spent seven months in Europe, during which time he has given himself unstintedly to cooperative effort with the Young Men's Christian Association, meeting the chap- lains of all denominations, visiting camps, even the most remote, and preaching to soldiers in hut and trench. He has labored to secure proper ministry in behalf of the negro troops in France, and, himself able to speak in many of the dialects of the Chinese tongue, has ministered especially 76 Methodist Episcopal, South to Chinese laborers helping in railway and other Army con- struction work. Rev. C. C. Selecman and Rev. G. C. Em- mons accompanied him on this mission and labored under his direction. Representatives of the Commission are now in France studying conditions with a view to making definite ap- propriation for the relief of churches in Europe. Liberal contributions have already been made for this purpose. A contract has been entered into to house, clothe and educate forty French orphans in Paris. The Commission has cooperated with the Federal Coun- cil of the Churches of Christ in America and the General War-Time Commission, furnishing men and underwriting special work in war production communities and else- where. Through the various agencies of the Church, under the general direction of this Commission, approximately half a million dollars have been expended in various lines of cooperation and relief. Through the Centenary movement of the Church there is provision for $5,000,000 to be used in reinforcement and reconstruction work during the period of four years from 1918 to 1922, it being proposed that two-fifths of this amount shall be used in reinforcement and constructive work in this country growing out of the war, and the remainder for work in Europe.

Charles H., Secretary, 507 Pittsburgh Life Building, Pitts- burgh, Pa. Wilbur, Rev. C. E., 200 Pittsburgh Life Building, Pittsburgh, Pa. The Methodist Protestant Church prides itself on always having been a champion of liberty and self- government, and its people were enlisted in the great war from the moment the Stars and Stripes appeared in the long battle line. It is impossible, however, to make a complete survey of the war-time activities of the denom- ination. The patriotic beneficence of its people found expression very largely through direct personal gifts to various national agencies, through the war chests of sepa- rate communities and through various interdenominational channels; and while the tmstinted offerings of its people often lost their denominational identity by this method, perhaps they have been for that very reason all the more a blessing to the cause of freedom and humanity. But there are certain distinct phases of war-time service in the Methodist Protestant Church which can be named. Generous financial support was given to the great cause. In every Liberty Loan campaign and in every supplemen- tary drive for the sale of War Saving Stamps the Methodist Protestant leaders in every community served at the front in the Home Guard; to individual subscriptions of church members were superadded still larger purchases by indi- vidual churches, mission boards, and educational boards and institutions. Through direct representation on the 78 Methodist Protestant American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, now merged in the American Committee for Relief in the Near East, the Sunday-schools and churches of the denomination made liberal contributions to the suffering Christians in the war zone. They contributed also with patriotic zeal and generosity to the Red Cross, the Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Womens Christian Association and to every recognized agency organized for the well-being ' of the soldiers. In this patriotic service the twenty-seven annual conferences and many distinct local agencies supplemented in a very substantial way the work accomplished through the larger denominational channels. The Methodist Protestant Church contributed, the Commission believes, its full proportionate share in minis- tering to the moral and religious life of the soldiers. Through the agency of the Commission and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the denomi- nation furnished its full quota of chaplains in the United States Army and sent also a large number of its leaders to the Service under the auspices of the Red Cross and the Red Triangle, together with a still larger number as re- ligious work directors, visiting clergymen and public speak- ers in our American cantonments. While the spiritual leaders of the denomination were per- forming their Christian duty in camp and field its people have made in full measure the supreme sacrifice. Not the homes alone, but the pulpits and the colleges have sent their men into the great war for the honor of America and for the freedom of the world. The service flag in every church, in every Svmday-school, in every institution, tells the story of ready surrender to God and country. The Methodist Protestant Church is seeking to do its share in the great work of reconstruction and is organizing Methodist Protestant 79 its various agencies for the purpose of widening the portals and strengthening the foundations of the home church against the day when the boys come home. It is respond- ing to the challenge of humanity and the Kingdom of God in behalf of the needy and groping millions over the sea. In this moral war work of the future, as in the military war work of the past, it is depending not alone upon the tem- porary agencies organized within its own bounds, but also upon the interdenominational activities mobilized by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. 80 Moravian U.

Service (or War) Commission work of the Unitas Fratrum, or Moravian Church, Northern Province, has been carried on by the Editor of The Moravian, the official organ of the Northern Province of the Church. The work was begun through the columns of The Moravian by an appeal for information in the issue of July 4, 1917. On January 30, 1918, the Editor, the Rev. Charles D. Kreider, was officially appointed U. S. Service Commis- sioner for the Moravian Church, Northern Province, by the governing board of the Church, the Provincial Elders' Conference. On account of the comparatively small communicant membership of the denomination, and therefore the com- paratively small number of men and women in the Service of the United States, there were no other members appoint- ed to serve on the Commission and the activities of the Commission were correspondingly limited. The Moravian became a clearing house for information Moravian 81 about the members of the denomination in the Service, and opened its columns to the various governmental commit- tees and other organizations engaged in war and relief activities. The Commissioner cooperated with the Government's Committee on Public Information in illustrated lecture work. The Commissioner corresponded with men in the Ser- vice and visited Camp Crane, Camp Meade, Camp Up- ton and New York City and Washington for the purpose of meeting and consulting with men in the Service and with other war workers. The Moravian published a II. S. Service Edition of the Moravian "Book of Daily Texts" for 1919. A regular edi- tion of this little book of Old and New Testament Texts has been published annually by the Unitas Fratrum, or Moravian Church, since 1732. In addition to the Daily Texts, this special U. S. Service Edition, for the informa- tion and benefit of the men in the Service, contained "The Y. M. C. A. Daily Readings in the New Testament," by R. P. Wilder, used by permission, "Suggestive Readings in the New Testament," "Information about Protestant Churches in Great Britain, France and Italy," "The In- ternational Uniform Lessons, 1919," Courtesy of the 5mw- day School Times, "Christian Endeavor Prayer-Meeting Topics, 1919," used by permission, "Washington's Orders Against Profanity in the American Army," "Orders for Sentinels," and "Orders for Christian Sentinels." This special edition was dedicated to the President in the following words: "In acknowledgment of the work which we believe he has done for God and humanity, in Peace and in War, this book is dedicated, with permission, to Woodrow Wilson, Twenty-eighth President of the United States." 82 Moravian President Wilson accepted the dedication in an auto- graphed letter under date of August 26, 1918, as follows: "I have your letter of August 22 and am very much com- plimented that you should wish to dedicate the little volume of which you speak to me. I hope that the volume will be of real usefulness. — Cordially and sin- cerely yours, Woodrow Wilson." The entire edition and cost of distribution were paid for by voluntary contributions. No copies were sold. The expense of the Commission, including office ex- penses, travel, lecture work and the special edition of the Text Book, were met by voltmtary contributions, "they amounted to about $800. The Commissioner served without compensation. Cumberland Presbyterian 83 WAR WORK COMMISSION OF THE CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Tullahoma, Tennessee Seagle, P. A., President, Chattanooga, Tenn.

The War Work Council of the Presbyterian Church in the United States was organized in October, 1917, as the re- sult of a conference called by the Moderator of the General Assembly, Rev. John M. Wells. At the outset, local war work councils were formed in all the camp cities and it was decided to place visiting clergjmien in the cantonment cities as rapidly as the funds would permit. A working basis of cooperation was adopted, after conference, with the National Service Commission of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., and in many of the camps the two Churches are cooperating in the support of the work. At 86 Presbyterian, U. S. {South) a meeting of the Committee on Cooperation in War Work, in Atlantic City, December 11, 1918, representatives from the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., the Presbyterian Church, U. S., and the United Presbjrterian Church adopted resolutions uniting the work of these Churches for the soldiers even more firmly. Since its organization, the Council has had under its direction no less than 19 visiting clergymen laboring in the camps which come within the bounds of the Southern Presbyterian Assembly. Where necessary, these men were provided with cars. Since the signing of the armistice and the consequent closing of many of the camps, some of these men have been released to go back to their churches. In August, 1918, during a conference of the Council and visiting clergymen called by the Chairman, it was decided to supply with suitable equipment for their work all Southern Presbyterian ministers commissioned by the Gov- ernment as chaplains. There have been 44 of these chap- lains commissioned from the Southern Presbyterian Church, to most of whom have been furnished equip- ment consisting of $200 in cash, a portable typewriter, and field and hospital communion sets. In addition to the above matters, the War Work Cotmcil has recently set about gathering the war statis- tics of the churches in the Southern Assembly under the plan formulated by the General War-Time Commission of the Churches. This means that there will be a per- manent record of the Church's part in the war and a valuable fund of information upon which to base her work in the future. In connection with this, the Council is endeavoring to compile a list of all the men in the Service from the Church and, as decided upon at the Atlantic City conference, a book of welcome, to be pre- Presbyterian, U. S. {South) 87 pared by representatives from the three Presbyterian Churches, will be sent to each returning soldier, expres- sing the Church's appreciation and suggesting the oppor- tunities awaiting him, and a form of memorial will be sent to the families of those who have given their lives in the Service. Another work which the Council has entered upon is the relief and reconstruction of the Protestant Churches of Europe for which the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America is undertaking to raise a fund of $3,000,000. The Council confidently expects the Southern Presbyterian Church to do her share in this great work. 8S Presbyterian, U. S. A. THE NATIONAL SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN THE U. S.

A. 93 The National Service Commission of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. A. was organized by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, meeting May 17, 1917. The work of the Commission was carried on during the year 1917-18 by twelve committees. In the year 1918-19 these committees were reduced to four, namely: the Committee on Chaplains, Committee on Camp Activities, Committee on Chiu-ch Activities, and the Committee on Finance. At the beginning of the war, there being but few chap- lains representing the Presbyterian Church and a large opportunity being presented for the work of voluntary chaplains, the principal emphasis of the Commission was upon this work of providing chaplains and the pre- sentation of the evangelistic message in the camps. The original appropriation for chaplains was $200 for equip- ment at time of receiving commission, and each chaplain was supplied with a typewriter, a field communion set, and a pocket communion set. When the quota of chap- lains was raised and the Presbyterian Church began to select its full representation, the appropriation was in- creased to a maximum of $500. Where need required, motorcycles and automobiles were provided for the use of the chaplains. With the development of overseas convalescent de- tachments in American camps, appeals from the chap- lains for funds with which to provide for emergency needs of returned wounded and those entirely without funds were met by special appropriations. The average appropriation for this purpose has not exceeded $100 per month. With the establishment of debarkation hospitals at the Port of New York, upon the request of the chaplains 94 Presbyterian, U. S. A. representatives of the Presbyterian Church have been assigned to assist the chaplains in their ministry to the returning wounded. The usual allowance for such assistance, which has not ordinarily required the presence of the representative at the hospital more than three or four days a week, has been $50 per month. The full number of Presbyterian chaplains is 204. The total number of visiting clergymen engaged and sustained by the Commission to date is 105. During the first year of the war, some of these visiting clergy- men, having resigned their charges, were supported by a salary of $150 per month with additional allowance for expenses. It has been the general policy of the Com- mission to request churches to release their pastors for a period of not less than three months and not more than six months, during which time the local churches con- tinued the salaries of their pastors and supplied their pulpits as a contribution to the war work of the church. All ministers so released for work in the camps have received an allowance of $100 per month to cover expenses. In addition they have been provided with uniforms of the Camp Dodge pattern or other suitable design at an average expenditure of $75 per outfit. In 12 camps they have been provided with motor cars and in all cases with stationery, office equipment as needed, and Testa- ments, hymn books, literature suitable for soldiers, and other supplies as the emergency required. Work has been maintained in 42 camps at one time. In cooperation with the war commissions of the Epis- copal, Methodist, Baptist and Congregational Churches, permanent church quarters have been erected in Camp Dix, Camp Upton and, in less complete fashion, at other points, the expenditure for such equipment varying from one to five thousand dollars. Presbyterian, U. S. A. 95 Seventeen camp-side churches have received assistance from the Commission. The usual allowance for the ex- pense of social entertainment of soldiers in the churches has been $50 per month. At Chillicothe, Ohio, near Camp Sherman, the Commission furnished a large social and rest room at an expense of $5,000. Important adaptations for sinailar pttrposes have been made in other camp-side churches. At 12 university centers the university pastors in residence were appointed as representatives of the Com- mission at an allowance of $50 per month for expenses incidental to their work in the Student Army Training Corps and they carried on a successful ministry during the brief period allowed until the demobilization of the Corps. In the years 1917-19, the expenses of administra- tion and funds expended for the purposes indicated above reached the svmi of $134,000. The expenditures for the ctuxent year, accumulating at approximately the same rate as in the first year, will be summarized in the report of the Commission to the General Assembly in May, 1919. 96 United Presbyterian NATIONAL SERVICE COMMISSION OF THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 334 Land Title Building, Philadelphia, Pa.

Parker, Rev. James Innes, George Raitt, Rev. George E. Kelly, Hon. M. Clyde Shane, George C. Latimer, R. L. Temple, Hon. Henry W. Wishart, Rev. W. I. One part of the work of the Commission has been to stimulate the work of the home church and to emphasize to the ministers the Church's necessity of maintaining the vital Gospel work in all congregations at concert pitch during the war. It has also sought to put before the churches the moral aims of the war and to mobilize all their forces in the support of the Government. So far as the Commission knows there has not been a single minister in this Church that has not responded with utmost patriotism to the carrying on of the war. The Commission has carefully selected and recom- mended to the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains its quota of men for the chaplaincy and has assisted in providing their equipment. It has been the instrument of carrying the Church's influence and help to her own sons in the Service, partly United Presbyterian 97 by sending men to the camps with the names and addresses of the boys from the United Presbyterian Church and authorizing them to bear to these boys the Church's personal interest in them. It has sought to maintain this bond of sympathy and helpfulness between the Church and her boys by pub- lishing small handbooks of earnest, helpful, Christian messages and mailing them to all the men in the Service from the denomination. It has published and mailed two such books called "The Church's Message to her Men with the Colors." Books were sent at intervals of about six months and most encouraging letters of appreciation have been re- ceived from many of the boys on this side and on the other side showing that this form of Christian ministry to them had been most acceptable. These books contained virile Christian messages by some of the foremost Christian leaders of to-day and were printed in compact form so that they could be carried about. The purpose was through the printed page to bring to the boys some mes- sages of faith and of Christian truth which the Church would have liked to speak to them had they been home in the church pews. The Commission has assisted the General War-Time Commission of the Churches in carrying out its plans and policies so far as they have affected the United Presby- terian Church and has assisted in providing for its financial support. The Commission has raised money to help in the restora- tion of the devastated Protestant Churches in France and Belgium. This last service is being rendered in connec- tion with the other Protestant Churches through the Com- mittee for Christian Relief in France and Belgium. Between fifty and sixty conferences were held in the 98 United Presbyterian different parts of the Church, with the exception of the Pacific Coast. The purpose of these conferences was to quicken the hfe of the home church and to enable the congregations to support the Government intelligently in every possible way. Another purpose of the conferences was to urge the churches to keep in touch with their men and to minister to the boys while in the Service in every effective way. The result of these conferences was most encouraging. The interest mani- fested and the spirit of the people showed that every- where they were alive, not only to the material, but also to the great moral and spiritual interests which were at stake in the war.

During the war there have been 179 Episcopalians commissioned as Army chaplains and 24 commissioned as Navy chaplains. For working equipment the Commission supplied these chaplains with 100 Protestant Episcopal typewriters, portable altars and portable organs, and in many instances with automobiles or motorcycles. Many newly commissioned chaplains have received $100 for personal equipment and have been given the privilege of borrowing any sum up to $500 for a period of eighteen months, without interest and with no liability upon their estate, in case of disability or death. In this country, each commissioned chaplain has been allowed a monthly discretionary fund of $50 for use among his men. Over- seas, this amount has been increased to $100. At the time of the influenza epidemic prompt response was made to every request for an emergency fund. The Pen- sion Fund premiums in many cases have been cared for from the date of begirming service. There have been approximately 95 civilian chaplains in the Army camps and naval stations — 70 in the former and 25 in the latter. Some of these men have combined their parish work with that of the camp needs, but most of them have given their entire time to the men in the Service. Their salaries have varied, but have averaged about $150 a month. The same working equipment has been given them as to the commissioned chaplains, and also the monthly allowance of $50 to cover incidental ex- penses in connection with the work among the men. In the war camp communities the Commission has rein- forced the chtirches by making additions to church build- ings, by providing assistants who devote their entire time to war work, and by giving financial assistance for the en- tertainment of soldiers. The Church Periodical Club, financed by the Commis- sion, has supplied Episcopal chaplains with Bibles, Testa- ments, prayer books and hjminals, books, stationery, games, cards, etc., for distribution among the soldiers and sailors. Protestant Episcopal 101 The sum of $5,000 has been appropriated to be used through the Joint Social Service Commission for work in the industrial communities. Work for the welfare of negro troops has been left to the individual chaplains. About $25,000 have been appropriated for work in Etu-ope, including the support of a Soldiers' and Sailors' Club and the salary of a war-time assistant in Paris. About $800,000 will have been expended by October 1, 1919. About $30,000 have been appropriated to the use of the Girls' Friendly Society under the direction of Miss Frances Sibley, President, and Miss Mary McGuire, Secretary, and other agencies of women's work have been furthered. More than $150,000 will have been expended through the Army and Navy Department Brotherhood of St. An- drew, with headquarters at 1129 Walnut Street, Phila- delphia, Pa., Walter Kidde, Chairman, F. S. Titsworth, Vice-Chairman and Executive Secretary, George Wharton Pepper, Treasurer, and B. F. Finney, Chief Secretary. In April, 1917, the Brotherhood leaders made plans to organize the Anliy and Navy Department which func- tions under its own Council. This Department called 80 consecrated laymen from 41 dioceses to serve in the camps, organizing interdenominational groups of men, who by their lives would be witnesses for clean living and strong Christian manhood. Splendid service was rendered to chaplains. This Department compiled the Honor Roll of Episcopalians in the Service, numbering more than 100,000 men, to whom letters were written and St. Andrew's Cross sent. Thousands of Church Welcome Committees were formed to serve returning men in a movement sponsored by the Brotherhood. 102 Reformed Episcopal WAR-TIME COMMISSION OF THE REFORMED EPISCOPAL CHURCH 347 Madison Avenue, New York City Fallows, Rt. Rev. Samuel, Chairman, 2344 Monroe Street, Chicago, 111. Edrop, Rev. Percy T., Executive Secretary, 347 Madison Avenue, New York City. The War-Time Cbnunission of the Reformed Episcopal Church was constituted at a Synodical Conference of the New York and Philadelphia Synod, held in Newark, N. J., in the fall of 1917. Chaplain Percy T. Edrop, then serving with the 53d Pioneer Infantry, was chosen as Chairman. At the meeting of the General Council of the Church, held in Philadelphia in the Spring of 1918, the War-Time Commission of the whole denomination was formed under the chairmanship of the Presiding Bishop with the Reverend William Dubose Stevens, rector of the First Reformed Episcopal Church, New York City, as Execu- tive Secretary. The Synodical Commission became a subsidiary body. Dr. Stevens was appointed a chaplain with the Ameri- can Red Cross and left for France soon after his appoint- ment. He died in Paris after a very brief service as chap- lain. His ministry was so brief there was no opportunity to receive reports from him. Chaplain Edrop, who had been detailed for special duty, was named to act as Secretary in Dr. Stevens' place. Repeated efforts were made through the Commission to increase the number of chaplains. It was found im- Reformed Episcopal 103 possible to spare many of the men of the Reformed Episcopal ministry because the ranks were so thin and the available men were debarred by age limitations or other restrictive provisions. With the exception of Chaplain Stevens, no chaplain of the Reformed Episcopal Church saw foreign service. The Episcopal Recorder, the denominational paper, kept abreast of the movements for strengthening the hands of the chaplains and editorially urged the passage of helpful legislation, and the Commission cooperated in every movement for assisting the chaplains and raised a fund to further their work. The Reformed Episcopal Church adjusted itself to the new conditions and made a special effort to minister to the soldiers on home duty. The Commission has been unable, because of the -loca- tion of the parishes, to cooperate closely with the com- missions of other Churches, but it has endeavored to bring the parishes to a sense of the need for special war- time work and particularly has it been active in keeping the members of the Church in the military and naval Service in touch with the home parishes. At the General Convention of the Reformed Episcopal Church, the denomination pledged all its resources in support of the war and it has stood ready to take part in every forward-looking movement. 104 Christian Reformed CHRISTIAN REFORMED WAR SERVICE COMMISSION 515 Eastern Avenue, S.

Van Noord, R., Secretary, 515 Eastern Avenue. S. E., Grand Rapids, Mich. Haan, G. J., Treasurer, 1022 Jefferson Ave., Grand Rapids, Mich. Noordewier, T. Eldersveld, Rev. S. The War Service Commission was organized July 24, 1917. Besides this Commission there were also organiza- tions of the denomination for local work with head- quarters at Grand Rapids, Mich., Chicago, 111., and Pella, la. The Commission secured six candidates for the chaplaincy although the quota of the Church was limited to one chaplain. Rev. Leonard Trap was recommended by the Commission, approved by the General Com- mittee on Army and Navy Chaplains, graduated from the Training School for Chaplains and Approved Chaplain Candidates, and commissioned on November 7, 1918. Un- til his discharge on March 3, 1919, he was stationed at Camp Custer, Mich. The Commission paid its chaplain a salary of $125 per month while at the Training School, $200 for personal equipment, and $25 per month for expenses connected with his work. Several visiting clergymen were maintained during the war. Rev. Leonard Trap, before his appointment as chaplain, represented the Church at Camp Custer, Mich., together with Rev. J. Wyngaarden who devoted part of Christian Reformed 105 his time to the work at Camp Custer. Rev. William Trap was stationed at Camp Grant, 111., Rev. J. ,M. Vander Kieft at Camp Dodge, la.. Rev. A. H. Brat at Camp Fimston, Kans., and Rev. P. J. Hoekenga at Camp MacArthur, Tex., and Camp Greene, N. C. They were given a Ford car or motorcycle for use in their work, one feature of which was the distribution of religious litera- ture and Testaments among the boys. Other ministers and laymen who served for a shorter or longer period were Rev. R. H. Pousma, Rev. J. M. Ghysels, Rev. M. M. Shans, Edward Pratt, Harry Dijkstra, stationed at Camp MacArthur, Camp Greene, Ft. Oglethorpe, Camp Gordon, Camp Pike, and Camp Cody, while Rev. R. H. Pousma and Mr. Harry Dijkstra were for a time connected with the Y. M. C. A. also, at Waco, Tex., and Camp Custer, Mich., respectively. The Commission provided funds to cover the expenses of the visiting clergjTnen as well as salaries ranging from $125 to $150 per month. The Christian Reformed Church had no churches in the immediate vicinity of the camps but it established preach- ing service in the camp towns through the visiting clergy- men, who also cooperated with other churches. A large amount of literature was furnished the workers, such as Testaments, booklets, tracts, and song-books. The educational work consisted in instruction in Christian fundamentals and many were brought to confession of faith in Christ and membership in the Church. Social and welfare work was done largely in cooperation with the Y. M. C. A. The homes of the visiting clergy- men also were opened to the boys for social gatherings and the Commission desires here to express its apprecia- tion of the cooperation afforded by the pastors' wives in this connection. 106 Christian Reformed Besides their other activities the visiting clergymen helped in the way of Americanization. Many of the soldiers came from Dutch-speaking churches and were accustomed to the Dutch language in their religious life, while in the camps all services were held in English. Several attempts were made to send men to Europe as visiting clergymen, pastors, or Y. M. C. A. workers, but arrangements were not completed when the armistice was signed. No specific work was undertaken with respect to the negro troops, but Mr. Harry Dijkstra is reported to have done splendid work among the several thousand who for a time were stationed at Camp Custer. Mr. Dijkstra at that time was one of the Y. M. C. A. secretaries. The Commission as a body has no definite program with respect to the returning soldiers, but, individually, the members are doing all they can to welcome the men back and secure positions for them. The Commission feels that here it can do but little while the home church can do much. The expense of administration, distribution of litera- ture, salaries of visiting clergymen, traveling expenses, etc., have totaled approximately $20,000.

With the declaration of war by the United States the Reformed Church in America began inunediately to plan for the work with the soldiers and sailors, and other forms of service that would necessarily arise and con- tinue under a conflict of such promised magnitude. At first the task was undertaken by the Evangelistic Com- mittee of the Board of Publication in conjtmction with the Board of Domestic Missions, but after a few months it fell to the newly organized War Service Commission, functioning through an Executive Committee. A budget of $10,000 was prepared and the forces of the Church set to work to do their part in the war tasks falling on the people of the country. At Dumont, N. J., which was at the gates of Camp Merritt, the great em- barkation camp, a church parish house was taken over, workers installed, and the church, whose pastor had entered the chaplaincy, was strengthened. This work has been sustained. The Reformed Church shared in the construction of the interchurch chapel at Camp Upton Reformed in America 109 and had a visiting clergyman there for a while. Support was also given the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, of which body Rev. William I. Chamberlain of the Commission is a valued member. The Army and Navy committee at Washington also received financial aid. As in the case of the other denominational workers in the field, the several visiting clergymen who were at work were uniformed and generously supported. Both they and the chaplains in the Army and Red Cross and Navy were furnished with typewriters, communion sets, and other necessary supplies. The headquarters office has been kept open since the beginning of the work, the officials serving the denomination without even the "dollar a year" honorarium. The work of this Commission was entirely in the East, the Church in the West (notably in Michigan and Wisconsin) carrying on its own work in contiguous fields at an expense of several thousand dollars. The Commission has performed a valued and all-neces- sary service in cooperating with the great religious forces of our country in maintaining a high morale among the men of the Army and Navy. Correspondence has been maintained between the home and the camp and wherever any of the churches have been close to cantonment or naval base, there the Commission has placed men to assist the local church or has appointed ministers to aid the chaplains in hospital and other work. The men who have taken up or will take up the work of Army and Navy chaplaincy pass in review before this Commission. This is true also of the Red Cross chaplains and the men who serve as assistants to the chaplains in the NaAry. The ministers of the Reformed Church in America serving as chaplains in the Army and Navy, whose appli- 110 Reformed in America cations were approved by the Commission, are as follows : Rev. Arthur L. Berger, Gansevoort, N. Y. ; Rev. Walter S. Bloom, Hawthorne, N. J.; Rev. Arthtir C. V. Dan- gremond. Beacon, N. Y.; Rev. James H. Potter, Am- sterdam, N. Y.; Rev. Orville E. Fisher, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Rev. J. Howard Brinckerhoff, New Brighton, N. Y.; Rev. John H. Putnam, Philadelphia, Pa.; Rev. Edward B. Irish, New York City; Rev. Verne M. Oggel, New Paltz, N. Y.; Rev. George C. Lenington, Classis of New York; and Rev. John W. Van Zanten, Metuchen, N. J. For chaplaincies in the Red Cross the Commission approved the following men, afterward commissioned by the Government: Rev. Henry Bacon Allen, Ridge- field, N. J.; Rev. Taber Knox, Warwick, N. Y.; Rev. Sartell Prentice, Nyack, N. Y. As assistants to the chaplains in the base hospitals the Commission has appointed these men, who are now serving: Rev. John G. Addy, Brooklyn, N. Y.; Rev. Alexander Wouters, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; Rev. Edgar Tilton, Jr., at the Gun Hill Hospital, New York; and Rev. J. Howard Brinckerhoff, on Staten Island. Other men who have worked under the Commission in Army camps and elsewhere have been: Rev. Clifford P. Case, Poughkeepsie, at Camp Merritt; Rev. William I. Chamberlain, at Camp Upton; Rev. 0. E. Fisher and Rev. Alexander Wouters, at Bensonhurst, and Robert Searle, George Steininger, A. M. Du Bois and Knud Lange at the Ehmiont Soldiers' and Sailors' Club, near Camp Merritt. Reformed in the U.

Stuart Schaeffer, Rev. Charles E. Through the authority of the General Synod deputed to its delegates to the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the National Service Commission of the Reformed Church in the United States was organized, January 25, 1918. 112 Reformed in the U. S. The purpose of this Commission, as defined at the time of its organization, was to cooperate with the Federal Council through the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, in war work and especially that work which the soldiers, sailors and chaplains from its own denomination required. An arrangement was effected with the First Reformed Church, Lancaster, Pa., of which Mr. Cramer is the pastor, to open an office for the work of the Commission in his study. This congregation also acquiesced in the engage- ment of Mr. Cramer as the Executive Secretary of the Commission with the understanding that his services would be given to the Commission freely, as a form of war work. The first work of the Commission was to enroll the names and military addresses of the soldiers and sailors in the military Service of the United States Government from the churches of the Reformed Church in the United States. This effort was very successful and made it possible for the Commission to send greetings and assur- ances directly to the soldiers and sailors in the name of their spiritual mother. An "Easter Greeting," written by Prof. H. M. J. Klein, Ph.D., of Franklin and Marshall College, was the first printed communication to be sent out. Later, a "Friendly Letter," composed by Dr. Charles E. Miller, President of Heidelberg University and President of the General Synod of the Reformed Church in the United States, was dispatched to the boys. The many acknowledgments of these communications from the soldiers and sailors express their high apprecia- tion of the affectionate concern of their mother church. At Christmas time a booklet entitled "A Christmas Message to Our Boys," written by C. Ernest Wagner, Litt.D., formerly Professor of the English Language Reformed in the U. S. 113 and Literature in Franklin and Marshall College, was sent to all the boys in the Service. This pamphlet served a three-fold purpose. It con- veyed the Christmas greetings of the denomination; it interpreted the significance of the war as a crusade for liberty and right inspired by religious faith, and it ex- pressed the pride of the denomination in its boys, so largely of German extraction, who were combating that form of autocratic government which was threatening the well-being of the world. This pamphlet was greatly appreciated by the boys, most of them of German ancestry and German names, whose forefathers came away from Germany because the "Fatherland" was no longer a fit place for them to live in. They had come to escape those conditions which grew out of the tyranny of mili- tarism, the very thing which their sons now offered to destroy. The number of volunteers from Pennsylvania when the first call came was much larger than in any other state and it is in this state that the Reformed Church is especially strong. In many of the "Pennsyl- vania German" communities volunteers were so num- erous that these districts were entirely excused from the first draft; they had already furnished their full quota. Furthermore, on the casualty lists there is no dearth of German names from these communities. From the first the Commission followed the plan of sending visiting clergymen into the camps as guests of the chaplains and the Y. M. C. A., the religious agencies regularly authorized by the military authorities. This plan was very acceptable to both chaplains and Y. M. C. A. and in accord with the desires of the military authorities. All of the camps to which the Reformed boys were sent in large numbers were visited from time to time. These visits were used as an opportunity to come into personal 114 Reformed in the U. S. touch with the boys stationed there through a letter sent to them in which was given the program of meetings at which the visitor would speak. The addresses of the visitor were not denominational in character but interpretive of the high ideals and principles for which we as a na- tion waged the war. The Commission also supported community religious workers in Gettysburg, Pa., and in Louisville, Ky., and financed the salary of Rev. James Mullen, who under the authority of the Board of Home Missions cooperated with the Joint Committee on War Production Com- munities. One of the primary concerns of the Commission was the effort to secure a generous representation of the minis- ters of the Reformed Church in the chaplaincy of the United States Army. This was done through the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains of the Federal Council in Washington, D. C. As a result of this effort fourteen of the finest men of the Church were selected as chaplains. These men were given one hundred dol- lars each for the purchase of their initial personal equip- ment and an order on the General War-Time Commis- sion of the Churches, New York City, for field and hospital communion sets and typewriter. They were also given an allowance monthly for their personal work among the soldiers. One of the inspirations for its work as a commission was that which was realized through the General War- Time Commission of the Churches of the Federal Coun- cil, of whose Executive Committee the Executive Secre- tary, Rev. W. Stuart Cramer, is a member. The National Service Commission has endeavored to cooperate sympa- thetically with the General War-Time Commission in all matters pertaining to religious service in behalf of the Reformed in the U. S. 115 soldiers and sailors. The sum of $3,500 has been con- tributed to the work of the General War-Time Commis- sion and $250 to the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains in behalf of its work. The Commission organized the War Emergency Cam- paign in the Reformed Church in behalf of money for the Protestant Churches in France and Belgium and its quota of the expenses of the General War-Time Commis- sion of the Chtirches in New York City, as well as for money for its own future work. This War Emergency Campaign was a part of the Interchurch Emergency Cam- paign, set up by the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, in which fourteen denominations partic- ipated. This campaign was concluded successfully on February 10. Its Director was Rev. James M. S. Isen- berg, of Philadelphia, Pa. One of the services that the National Service Commis- sion rendered, in which it takes great pride, is that which aimed to keep the "home fires burning" in behalf of the soldiers and sailors that were away from home. The in- fluence of the Commission was exerted upon the mem- bership of the Chtirch through a number of letters that were sent out to the pastors and the articles that ap- peared weekly in all of the Church papers, in which the various activities of the Commission were rehearsed. The Commission has gathered statistics of the congre- gational war work in its various forms, using the Questionnaire prepared by the General War-Time Com- mission of the Churches. The Commission encouraged the personal work of the pastors in behalf of the boys and the setting up of organi- zations in the congregations for the sending of gifts and writing of letters to the boys. To homes where the supreme sacrifice was made by one of its members, letters 116 Reformed in the U. S. of S3mipathy representing the Reformed Church as a whole were written. In these letters an attempt was made to interpret the spiritual significance of the sacri- fice for the comfort of the sorrowing family. The National Service Commission has been received by the denomination with great favor. It has been en- couraged in appropriate resolutions by s3Tiods, classes and charges of the Reformed Church. It has been supported financially by voluntary offerings without the necessity of having to make a personal appeal for funds. At the Commission's suggestion many resolutions were presented from time to time declaring the patriotic loyalty of the Reformed Church in the United States to our country at war with Germany, commending especially the righteous principles of justice, freedom and right for which the Allied Nations fought. A live interest has also been manifested in the Chtirch in behalf of the proposed League of Nations for the sake of a moral guarantee of a permanent peace in the world. Through the recommendation of the Commission the General Synod at its special meeting, March 4, 1919, unanimously adopted resolutions favoring a League of Nations in which our own country should participate for the sake of the world's future peace.

With many Catholic societies willing and anxious to offer their services to help the nation win the war, with the large resources of the Church at the disposal of the Government, it was apparent almost as soon as war was declared that a national Catholic organization of some kind was necessary and in August, 1917, imder the direc- tion and by the authority of their Eminences, James Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore, John Cardinal Farley* of New York, and William Cardinal O'Connell of Boston, a general convention of the Catholics of the country was held at the Catholic University of America, Wash- ington, D. C. At this convention three things were decided *Died, September 17, 1918. National Catholic War Council 119 upon: first, that all Catholic war activities should be unified and coordinated for greater efficiency; secondly, that, where necessary, local councils should be estabUshed in the various dioceses; and thirdly, that the Knights of Columbus be recognized as the body representing the Church in the recreational welfare of the soldiers in the camps. In November of 1917, the Archbishops of the United States constituted themselves the National Catholic War Council with Cardinal Gibbons as President and appointed as their Administrative Committee the four bishops listed above. The various activities of the War Council are directed by this Administrative Committee except the recommendation for the appointment of chaplains and their supervision. To this important work the Pope appointed Most Rev. Patrick J. Hayes, at that time Auxiliary Bishop of New York, as Chaplain Bishop of the Catholic chaplains of the United States Army and Navy. To the Elnights of Columbus was assigned the work of caring for the recreation of the soldiers both here and abroad, in camps and at the front. This work has been directed by a Committee on War Activities, composed of members of the Supreme Board, the governing body of the order. The Knights of Coltmibus have efficiently and effectively, through hundreds of secretaries and scores of buildings, carried out a program of service for the soldiers and sailors.* The other activities of the Catholics in war work are entrusted to the Committee on Special War Activities, which functions through the following sub-conmiittees: The Committee on Men's Activities, with 30 field *For the report of the Knights of Columbus see page 122. 120 National CathoUc War Council secretaries and workers, has the direction of the various men's organizations through the country and, in addition, operates 25 service clubs at important points adjacent to the larger camps and the ports of debarkation. The Committee on Women's Activities, with 100 field secretaries and workers, has directed and conducted the vast army of Catholic women's societies throughout the country. It has created a National Catholic Women's Association which directs and conducts the work for women and girls throughout the country — ^protective and recreational work in large cities and industrial centres. It has erected and administered visitors' houses in various camps throughout the country. It has sent women workers abroad for work in hostels, the industrial centres of France and Italy, and in the devastated areas. The Committee on Reconstruction, with 45 field secre- taries and workers, is engaged in the problems of re- construction and is cooperating with the Departments of Labor and Interior, Federal Board for Vocational Education, the United States Employment Service and other governmental agencies. This Committee is issuing a series of pamphlets on important topics connected with its work. It has developed a program for community welfare work, civic centres and social service, which is being put into effect in 15 large industrial centers in cooperation with the two committees above named. It also has established, in cooperation with the Red Cross, 10 clinics in hospitals throughout the country for the after-care of wounded or disabled soldiers and their families. Through the Chaplains' Aid Association the Com- mittee on Chaplains' Aid has supplied to the commissioned and volimteer chaplains hundreds of chaplains' kits, hundreds of thousands of articles of religion and devo- National Catholic War Council 121 tion, literature, and two editions of the Douay New Testament, Army and Navy edition. This work has been carried on through 50 chapters established through- out the country. The Committee on National Catholic Interests has had the responsibility of cooperating with the governmental agencies, with the Committee of Six* and the Federal Coimcil of the Churches of Christ in America in securing the passage of the "Chaplains' Bill," etc. The Committee on Historical Records is collecting the records of Catholic participation and activities in the war. It has local committees throughout the country and is compiling a census of Catholic men in the Service and collecting the record of the general religious activities called forth by the war. When its task is completed these doctunents will be deposited with the Catholic University at Washington. The National Catholic War Council is also one of the seven recognized welfare organizations which cooperated with and under the direction of the Commission on Training Camp Activities. *A small committee including members of different religious faiths, called together by Rev. John J. Burke, C. S. P., and serving as an advisory committee to confer with the Government on matters relating to the religious interests of the Army. 122 Knights of Columbus COMMITTEE ON WAR ACTIVITIES OF KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS 461 Fourth Avenue, New York City Mulligan, William J., Chairman, 461 Fourth Avenue, New York City.

Knights of Columbus 123 The Knights of Columbus were admitted to war work in this country on June 12, 1917, after having demon- strated their ability by erecting and maintaining a chain of recreation buildings at the Mexican border during the trouble there. The amount set as probably needed was $1,000,000 and this was raised by an assess- ment of two dollars on each member and by further con- tributions. The necessities of the situation increased very rapidly and the budget was raised, first to three million, afterwards to seven and a half, then to ten, until finally, for the year commencing July 1, 1918, a budget of $50,000,000 was presented. This was cut down to $30,000,000, the reduction being made by agreement between the War Department and the Administrative Committee of the National Catholic War Council. The first work in this country was in the cantonments. So-called huts, or buildings, were erected, secretaries furnished, and especial care taken to secure volunteer chaplains for the spiritual needs of the men. Immedi- ately thereafter, entry was made into the National Guard encampments. Entry into the Regular Army camps, posts and naval stations was rather difi&cult in the beginning. There has never been a definite general permission for this service except in the case of the Navy. The Knights of Columbus have erected 296 buildings in the United States, and on February 1, 1919, had 18 other buildings in course of construction. They are operating 10 buildings in connection with hospitals, have 2 buildings under construction at hospitals, and have authorization to build at 10 other hospitals. They are maintaining 635 secretaries in the United States and are serving 40 base hospitals by their regular camp personnel. In addition, they conduct community service at 102 places. 124 Knights of Columbus It was not until December 1, 1917, that permission was obtained from General Pershing to instal the Knights of Columbus service in France with the A. E. F. Despite this handicap of late entry into the work, they have made progress and today are operating at 200 points, including France, Italy, Belgiimi, Germany, England and Scotland. Buildings have also been erected or con- struction authorized in Porto Rico, Canal Zone, and the Philippines. By February 1, 1919, there had been sent overseas 817 secretaries, 52 volunteer chaplains, 19 sten- ographers, and 30 transport secretaries, of whom 103 secretaries and 8 volunteer chaplains have returned. Since then more than a hundred secretaries have been assigned overseas and a call issued for five hundred additional men. The supplies purchased in this country up to February 1, 1919, for use overseas totaled over $6,000,000. An immense amount of supplies was also purchased in France, England and elsewhere for use with the A. E. F. The bulk of these supplies might properly be classified as "creature comforts" and were distributed free of any charge to American fighters here and abroad. Entertainment of an athletic nature, both indoor and outdoor (particularly baseball and boxing) is a feature of the Knights activities in military camps. An outstanding feature of Knights of Columbus war work abroad is a transportation system, consisting of motor-driven vehicles, which render them independent of railroad service in transporting supplies. This has ensured an uninterrupted flow of Knights of Columbus supplies to the troops. A particularly appealing feature of Knights of Colum- bus war relief activities deals with the employment bureaus, maintained by the order's seventeen hundred Knights of Columbus 125 councils in different parts of the country. Organized in anticipation of peace time, the Knights of Columbus employment bureau branch for soldiers, sailors and marines was ready for work the day after the armistice was signed. Within sixty days after the arrival home of the first troop-ship, jobs for 10,000 men had been obtained by Knights of Coltmibus employment bureaus on the Pacific Coast. The same ratio held good throughout Eastern States as well. 126 Unitarian WAR WORK COUNCIL OF THE UNITARIAN CHURCHES 25 Beacon Street, Boston, Mass. Eliot, Rev.

Immediately after the declaration of war the War Work Council of the Unitarian Churches was organized and from the beginning it has actively and effectively co- operated in all the national movements for the winning of the war and, by public addresses, correspondence, and the circulation of literature, has endeavored to stimulate and guide the war interests and activities of the Unitarian churches. A special Commission on Food Conservation was im- mediately appointed, which has been very serviceable. It has kept in close touch with the national bureau and Unitarian 127 the different state bureaus. A number of ministers have been secured to speak for the cause and many of the women in the Unitarian churches have been leaders in diffusing knowledge of the needs of the situation and in practical demonstration of food conservation. In the early days of the war the Council enlisted the energies of the churches in the work of the Red Cross. Literature bearing the denominational imprint was sent out urging close cooperation both in the rendering of personal service and in the contributing of funds. The churches made their customary response and the Commis- sion has not heard of one which has not been actively engaged in Red Cross work. Sometimes churches re- sponded as organizations, by forming their own Red Cross aioxiliaries, but far more often the work has become a community affair and the churches have borne an honor- rable part in the common effort. There has been continued cooperation with the Y. M. C. A. A few days after the entrance of the United States into the war the Council called a meeting of Uni- tarian ministers to consider what contribution their churches and people could most profitably make in the immediate emergency. It was unanimously decided to advise cooperation with the Y. M. C. A. in its approach- ing drive for funds to provide huts for soldiers at home and abroad. Not only has the Council urged the co- operation of the churches in the raising of funds but it has also been able to secure 28 Unitarian ministers, besides a ntmiber of laymen, to serve as Y. M. C. A. secretaries. There has also been hearty cooperation with the War Camp Community Service in the work carried on under the auspices of what is coinmonly known as the Fosdick Commission. The Secretary of the Council has served on 128 Unitarian the Executive Committee of the Boston organization. Uni- tarian churches all over the country have been urged to dispense hospitality as they have had opportunity and have generously responded. They have entertained sailors and soldiers at suppers, dinners, plays, dances, etc. In every way an endeavor has been made to convey to the men a sense of deep appreciation of the sacrifice that they have made. One of the most interesting features of cooperative work has been with the Christian Federation of Ayer, the location of Camp Devens. The Baptist, Congrega- tional, Methodist and Unitarian War Councils have united to make adequate social and religious provision for the soldiers at the Camp during their leisure hours in the town. A large building, called the Federation House, has been erected on the road from the town to the camp, in which is carried on a varied program of activities for the comfort and entertainment of the men. The Council has raised large war funds, has urged the use of the national colors and the service flag in the churches, and the posting of the Honor Roll. It has co- operated to secure the passage of the measure creating a larger number of chaplains and through its efforts 13 ministers have become chaplains. Including Army officers, men in overseas Red Cross service, in other branches of the United States Service and in Y. M. C. A. work, eighteen per cent of Unitarian ministers on the active list have worn the uniform during the war. The Council has distributed many copies of "The Soul of the Bible" in a special khaki-covered edition, and has printed and widely circulated a great number of posters, circulars and pamphlets, including "Twenty-five Hymns for Use in Time of War," extensively used beyond the boundaries of the denomination. Unitarian 129 Immediately upon the establishment of the different training camps the Council appointed visiting clergymen for 37 of these camps and assumed charge of the expenses of these Unitarian representatives. This is not the complete story of the work of the War Work Council, but it serves to indicate the scope and in- tensity of its activities. 130 United Brethren WAR COMMISSION OF THE UNITED BRETHREN CHURCH 130 Oxford Avenue, Da3rton, O. Mathews, Bishop G. M., Chairman, 130 Oxford Avenue, Dajrton, O. Fout, Bishop H. H., Secretary, 945 Middle Drive, Woodruff Place, Indianapolis, Ind. Bell, Bishop William M., 1450 Fairmont Street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Following upon the declaration of war by the United States, the Board of Bishops of the United Brethren Church appointed a war-time Commission, with Bishop George M. Mathews as President, and Bishop Henry H. Fout as Secretary. An outstanding feature of the educational work of the Comrtiission was to reenforce the national purpose in its conviction of the righteousness of its cause. It insisted that the pew, the nation, and hu- manity demanded a strong note from the Christian pulpit. Through its representative on the board at Washington the Commission recommended the best qualified men of the denomination for appointment to chaplaincies in the Army and Navy. Except those who were in the Training School when the war closed, all who were appointed to chaplaincies are yet in the Service. It is not possible to state the amount of funds and equipment supplied to chaplains. Whatever was done in this line was largely through the local congregations served by the men who received the appointment. During the early part of the war much was done by the Commission in supplying pastors to minister to the young men of the denomination in the cantotmients of the United States. This action was prompted in United Brethren 131 part by requests from the young men and received a very hearty response from their representatives at home. The work was continued with increasing interest until the Government advised differently. The general secretaries of the Sunday-school and young people's departments of the denomination were employed to visit and speak in all the camps of the United States. The results of this feature of the work proved most satisfactory. Through the pulpit, press, and organized denomi- national agencies the Commission cooperated with the authorities in all war-time activities. It was a promoter in the Liberty Loan drives, also in the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. work. A large number of the brightest and best young men of the denoraination were appointed to Y. M. C. A. service. It was gratifjang to the Commission to have the officer at the head of the conscription work of Indiana make the statement publicly that to his knowl- edge not one young man of the United Brethren Church of the State had filed a plea for exemption from Service. The Chtirch stood loyal to the Government. Of the two thousand pastors in the denomination it is believed there were not a half dozen whose loyalty could be ques- tioned for a moment. The Commission was earnest in intent and effort that no Church in proportion to its nu- merical strength should have more stars in its service flags, and that no Church in proportion to its numbers should mention the cause more frequently in prayer. The Com- mission believes that this desire was fully realized. The Commission was tmited in the belief that the morale of the boys at the front could be maintained not by supplying them with munitions of war, but rather by the hearty support of the folks at home. It was therefore insisted upon that every local church have a Committee on Correspondence, charged with the duty of writing at 132 United Brethren least once a week to every young man whose star ap- peared on its service flag, keeping him informed concern- ing the activities of the church, and assuring him of the church's continued interest in his behalf, and of the church's prayers for his protection and safe return. The Commission desires, in harmony with the request of the Government, to render a real service to the return- ing soldiers and sailors by close cooperation with the various branches of the United States Employment Service.

Executive Committee Curry, Rev. J. Q. A. Heil, Bishop William F. Gobble, Rev. A. E. Schlegel, Rev. H. Franklin Shortess, Rev. J. D. The War Service Commission of the United Evangelical Church was constituted October 10, 1917. The Commission has been represented on the General War-Time Commission of the Churches and its Executive Committee and also on the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains by the Executive Secretary, Rev. H. Franklin Schlegel; and on the Committee on the Inter- church Emergency Campaign by the Executive Secretary and Dr. B. H. Niebel of Harrisburg, Pa., who has been in charge of the publicity work for this campaign in the United Evangelical Church. One of the first tasks undertaken by the Executive 134 United Evangelical Secretary was to secure a complete roster of the men and women who had gone into the war Service of the nation. The roster covered information on the following questions: name, home address, name of home church, conference, member of church, official position, member of Sabbath school, official position, military relation, military rank, branch of Service, military address. This roster, when finally completed and properly classified, will take its place in the historic archives of the Church. At the time of the holiday season a personal letter ad- dressed to every man and woman in the Service from the United Evangelical Church went out from the office of the Executive Secretary. From the many replies received from persons in the home camps and overseas it is evident that through this effort a very helpful service was rendered. Soon after appointment the Commission urged upon the Board of Publication of the Church that every person in the Service be placed on the weekly mailing list of the official weekly Church paper. The Evangelical, and succeeded in having this done at a rate far below the actual cost of the paper. This weekly message from the home church went to the men and women in the Service in all parts of the world where the American soldier was to be found. The value of this service cannot be estimated. In spite of the handicap suffered by the Government in the matter of mail transportation, this service was carried out with a very high degree of success and satisfaction. The Commission has been of valuable service to such of the ministers as have been appointed chaplains, by assisting them to secure their equipment and also by supplying Bibles and Testaments and literature as op- portunity was offered and requests were made. United Evangelical 135 In a measure the Commission has been able to bring comfort to the homes out of which sons who went forth to the Service have made the supreme sacrifice. There was personal communication with all such homes as soon as the information was received. The Commission joined in a church-wide effort in con- nection with the Interchurch Emergency Campaign for funds. It has also planned to take its full part in the reconstruction work following the closing of the war, and to give its best service to the returning soldiers.

On the entrance of our country into the war in April, 1917, the Board of Managers recognized the opportunity and necessity for its special service and appointed a Committee on War Work consisting of its standing com- missions on Distribution, Ways and Means, and Home Agencies. From the regular editions of the Society choice was made by the Executive Officers, with the approval of the Committee on War Work, of editions of the Bible, New Testament and certain portions, best suited from the size and type for the use of men under the exigencies of the Service, and these were bound in khaki and in khaki- 140 American Bible Society colored or navy blue cloth. The paper for these editions and the cloth for the binding had been purchased some months before in anticipation of such need. Experience gradually eliminated a number of the editions. The books which proved the most satisfactory and desirable have been the following, all in sizes suitable for the pocket: The Gospel of John, the Psalms, and the Proverbs, in Brevier type, bound in a flexible cloth cover, khaki or navy blue color; the New Testament in Agate type and also in Nonpareil type, same size and binding; the New Testament in Nonpareil type on thin paper, a special vest pocket edition bound in cloth, khaki or navy blue color, in khaki and in pigskin. This vest pocket edition proved to be the favorite edition, over 2,000,000 copies having been issued. A hospital edition was issued of the New Testament in Brevier type, thin paper, 33^" x 5J^" in delicate colored, flexible binding, with a cross in red; and the Psalms were issued in the same type, size and binding, these being specially suited for invalids. The Bible was issued in Minion type, thin paper, 4J^" x 6", bound in khaki; in Brevier type 53^" x 7", bound in khaki-colored cloth and also in navy blue cloth, with appropriate insignia in gold, being a library edition for cantonment libraries, and the libraries of naval vessels; and in Small Pica type, 7" x 93^", strongly bound in khaki as a desk Bible for chaplains. With the prospect of service in France for the men of our Army and Navy a special edition of the Gospel of Mark, with parallel pages in French and English, was pre- pared, and met a wide 'demand, several hundred thousand having been issued. The draft brought into the service of the United States American Bible Society 141 many men not familiar with English and still dependent on the languages of the lands from which they had come. Scriptures in these languages had previously been imported from Europe. War conditions prevented further importations. The Society therefore prepared a set of War Service Testaments, of a uniform pocket size, in Bohemian, French, Greek (Modem), Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Roumanian, Russian, Spanish, and Yiddish; and also prepared a series of War Service Bibles in Bohemian, Bulgarian, Finnish, Greek (Modem), Hungarian, Lithua- nian, Polish, Roumanian and Russian. Individuals, churches, Sunday-schools and societies desiring to place the Scriptures in the hands of those going from their neighborhood, have been supplied by donations, or by sale always below cost. Chaplains of the Army and Navy, on the offer of the Society, have been given the Scriptures in response to their requests and needs. Through the Y. M. C. A., at its request, a million of the special edition of vest pocket Testaments were given for distribution among the soldiers and sailors, the Y. M. C. A. agreeing to take care of the distribution and the Society providing the Scripttires, thus avoiding duplication of expense and distribution. So far as we know, this is the largest single gift of Scriptures ever made. Hospitals of the Army and Navy are being sup- pHed with whatever Scriptures they can use. The Red Cross, Salvation Army, and American Library Associa- tion have each of them had the assistance of grants of Scriptures. From April 6, 1917, to December 31, 1918, the issues of Scriptures for the men of the Army and Navy of the United States have been 16,900 Bibles; 2,499,258 Testa- ments; and 2,042,713 Psalms; or a total of 4,558,871 volumes. 142 American Bible Society The American Bible Society, through regular appropria- tions, special gifts and the cooperation of the World's Sunday-School Association, has supplied 1,674,867 vol- umes of Scriptures from August, 1914, to December 31, 1917, for the forces of other nations, in encampments, hospitals, prison camps, and trenches in Eiirope. To this should be added a considerable distribution during 1918, concerning which facts are not yet available. The total probably is not far from 2,000,000 volumes. It will be seen that the Society has issued over 6,000,000 volumes of Scriptiire during the war, for those engaged in it. Not counting the expenses of the war distribution in Europe, the Society spent nearly $300,000 up to Decem- ber 31, 1918, in supplying Scriptures for the men of the United States Army and Navy. All this was outside of its ordinary budget. It is now asking for $150,000 to meet new exigencies, which have been occasioned by the war, in Europe and this country, including the needs of hospitals, etc., which are separate from its regular work. American Sunday-School Union 143 COMMITTEE ON WAR LITERATURE OF THE AMERICAN SUNDAY-SCHOOL UNION 1816 Chestnut Street, PhUadelphia, Pa. Stoever, William C, Chairman, 727 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. McConaughy, Rev. James, Secretary, 1816 Chestnut Street, Phila- delphia, Pa. Stevenson, John E., Treasurer, 1816 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa. Blake, Barton F. Miller, E. Augustus Hirst, William H. Williams, Rev. George P. As soon as the United States entered the war the Ameri- can Sunday-School Union sought the particular place in which, without in any way overlapping the work of others, it might render a helpful ministry. On April 24, 1917, its Board of Officers and Managers appointed a special committee to supervise this task, known as its Committee on War Literature. It already had among its own publications some that were well adapted to this particular need. It had, for ex- ample, a hymn book containing one hundred and fifty favorite church hymns and gospel songs. To this, for a special Army and Navy edition, it added a number of national, patriotic songs. It had quarterlies and les- son leaves, prepared on a union and evangelical basis, and written especially for the young people in the country districts, from which so many of our soldiers and sailors have come. To these it added a special series of Sunday- school lesson leaflets, entitled "On Service," based on the Sunday-school lessons from Mark's Gospel and illustrated with incidents and pictures that would es- pecially appeal to the soldier and sailor. It had its own 144 American Sunday-School Union collection of Gospel leaflets, illustrated stories of Bible characters, an illustrated weekly paper filled with whole- some narratives and articles such as men would enjoy reading during hours of leisure, or when convalescing in a hospital. It at once engaged competent writers to prepare a brief and readable life of Lincoln, emphasizing his Christian character and written especially from the soldier's stand- point; also a similar life of General S. C. Armstrong, of Civil War and Hampton Institute fame. But the Committee was especially desirous of promoting the reading of choice portions of Scripture, in addition to aiding Bible study by the use of its Sunday-school publica- tions. It therefore secured Rev. F. B. Meyer, of London, who was already in intimate touch with the war, having sent htmdreds of young men from his own church and Sunday-school into the British Arrhy and Navy, to write for soldiers and sailors a series of practical comments on the Gospel according to St. Mark, the most vivid and dramatic of the Gospels. These comments, with choice pictures and selected hymns, were included in a special edition, which has had great popularity. The Committee also desired to place the words of the choicest Scriptvue passages before the eyes of the men in Y. M. C. A. huts, barracks, hospitals, etc., in camps and naval bases; in public rooms on ship board; in rooms where men were billeted, in mess halls, etc., at the front. For this purpose it had large wall charts of the Beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, etc.; wall cards, each containing one of a dozen carefully selected Scripture verses; and the "Silent Comforter" wall rolls, each containing a selection of Scripture passages for each day of the month. Realizing that Y. M. C. A. workers would be abundantly American Sunday-School Union 145 supplied with literature from their own headquarters and that the American Bible Society, the Pocket Testament League, and similar agencies would furnish New Testa- ments, the Committee concentrated its own efforts on the careful circulation of the literature just described. It was realized from the first that the chaplains were in the best position to use to advantage the literature the Committee was able to provide, although Y. M. C. A workers from time to time have indeed asked for parts of it, especially for the Sunday-school lesson leaflets, the Scripture wall charts and the little volume on Mark. (The Y. M. C. A. War Work Council expressed its appreciation of the last named by a special order of 138,500 copies for its own distribution, and it also ordered 350,000 copies of the Union's weekly lesson leaflet on the International Sunday-school lessons, for use among the soldiers in France.) Chaplains were in most cases found to be without any adequate supply of religious literature, and without means of securing it. Many of them were even unable to procure hymn books for use in religious services with their men. A personal corre- spondence was opened as early as June 9, 1917, with all chaplains already in the Service, and this has been continued with additional chaplains as fast as they have received appointment. Up to date more than 3,700 personal letters have been written to chaplains informing them regarding the literature the Committee was prepared to furnish, suggesting the best uses to which it could be put, notifying them of shipments made in answer to their requests, and emphasizing careful, personal distribution of the books and leaflets and the circulation from man to man of all the larger publications, such as the lives of Lincoln and Armstrong. In response to personal requests from 378 chaplains, 95 146 American Sunday-School Union in the Navy and 283 in the Army, as well as from 53 Y. M. C. A. secretaries and 9 privates, 658 shipments of litera- ture have been made, ranging from parcel post packages to large cases sent by express or Government transport. Army and Navy officials have given hearty cooperation in the distribution, the Army Quartermaster's Depart- ment and the Naval Receiving Ship having, wherever possible, accepted these shipments and forwarded them without charge. In this way there have been furnished 7,575 wall charts, wall cards, and "Silent Comforter" wall rolls, which have conveyed their message to hundreds of thousands of men in the Army and Navy. Chaplain Allan O. Newman, of the 366th Infantry, has reported his experience with the linen wall charts sent to him in a large box of litera- ture while his regiment was in training at Camp Dodge, la. The experience with these two wall charts is no doubt typical. They were first used by him in services with his regiment while in training at Camp Dodge and Camp Upton. Then they crossed the ocean in his per- sonal baggage, while his other supplies, with all the regimental freight, went astray and never reached him. The charts, with "Favorite Hymns" and copies of the "Gospel of Mark," were used while the regiment had its further training at Bourbonne les Bains, France, and then in the three sectors of the front at which these colored troops won distinction by brave service — in the Vosges, the Argonne, and finally at Mabash, near Metz. The charts, framed by regimental carpenters for the chaplain, and set up outside his tent, became invitations to his men when religious services were to be held. Twice, when no American flag was to be had, the chart containing the Lord's Prayer was used by the chaplain to spread over the bodies of men killed in action whom American Sunday-School Union 147 he was called upon to bury immediately behind the front line. Of the special edition of Mark's Gospel, with Mr. Mey- er's comments, 75,881 copies have been distributed, in addition to the 138,500 purchased and used by the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council. Of Bible class leaflets, quarter- lies, and teachers' journals, 454,384 have been circulated, in addition to the 350,000 specially ordered by the Y. M. C. A. for use in France. Of Gospel leaflets, evangelical books, and similar literature, 160,490 have been supplied. Of the lives of Lincoln and Armstrong, 12,839 were sent out, and these have been read by a great number of men. For use in religious services 58,929 copies of "Favorite H3mins" have been furnished to chaplains. Altogether, 1,258,598 pieces of literature have been sent out, varying in size from a single leaflet to a hundred-page book. Several hundred letters are on file from chaplains showing their appreciation of this service, and their estimate of the good accomplished by it. The leaders of the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council, be- coming familiar with this work, showed their approval of it and their desire to cooperate with the chaplains in a practical way, by providing generously toward meeting the expense involved. Up to February 28, 1919, there had been expended $29,124.24. Of this $4,201.91 came in contributions from Union Sunday-schools and from in- dividuals, employees in the American Sunday-School Union's home building and its officers and managers head- ing the list; while $8,321.42 was appropriated by the Union from funds at its disposal for use in circulating re- ligious literature. $6,495.44 was paid by the Y. M. C. A. War Work Council for the special quantities of Mark's Gospel and other publications supplied to its own workers, and $10,101.47 was contributed by the Y. M. C. A. Na- 148 American Sunday-School Union tional War Work Council toward the expense of furnish- ing this literature to chaplains. All service connected with the editing of the literature and with the correspondence regarding its circulation has been a labor of love, freely given by the Secretary and other employees of the Ameri- can Simday-School Union. All the work herein described continues in operation, not only for the soldiers overseas, but for those returning on the transports, for those being demobilized in camps at home, and for the large number both of the Army and Navy who are to remain in the Service.

On April 20, 1917, two weeks after the United States entered the war, a call was issued for a special meeting of the Federal Council to be held at Washington, D. C, May 8-9, 1917, for prayer and conference, to prepare a suitable message for the hour, to plan and provide for works of mercy and for the moral and religious welfare of the Army and Navy, and to formulate Christian duties relative to conserving the economic, social, moral and spiritual forces of the nation. In addition to the membership of the Federal Council, there were in attendance for joint conference representa- tives of the Home Missions Council, the Foreign Missions Conference of North America, the Federation of Women's Boards of Foreign Missions of the United States, the Council of Women for Home Missions, the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations, the National Board of the Young Womens Christian 152 Federal Council Associations, the American Bible Society and the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches. No less than thirty-five different bodies engaged in war work were represented. The sessions of the meeting were devoted to the preparation of a message to the churches and the discussion of methods by which the churches might meet the duties of the hour in the spirit of this message. A committee was appointed to cooperate with a com- mittee of the National War Work Council of the Yoting Men's Christian Associations of the United States on the moral and religious welfare of the Army and Navy, and steps were taken which resulted in the organization of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, to coordinate the activities of the churches in war work. The reports and addresses of the meeting were published in full in a volume entitled "The Chtirches of Christ in Time of War." During the summer of 1917, in the interval between the Washington meeting and the organization of the General War-Time Commission, there was organized a temporary Committee of the Churches on War Work. The activi- ties of this committee were directed principally toward securing the coordination of the work of the churches in the neighborhood of the training camps and providing for voluntary chaplains in the reserve officers' training camps to which regular Army chaplains were not assigned. Later, when the large National Army cantonments were in course of erection, a preliminary survey of church resources in the vicinity of these camps was undertaken. The work of this committee was carried on in the office of the Com- mission of the Federal Council on the Church and Social Service. The General War-Time Commission of the Churches General War-Time Commission 153 was organized on September 20, 1917. Its organization was described as follows, in an official statement, formally adopted by the Executive Committee on December 6, 1917: "The General War-Time Commission of the Churches is a body of one hundred persons chosen from the different religious agencies which are dealing in direct and responsible ways with the new problems which the war has raised. "It had its inception at a meeting of the Federal Council at Washington on May 8 and 9, 1917. The discussion at that meeting developed the fact that some representative national body would be needed to act on behalf of the churches in their effort to deal with the new problems raised by the war; and the Administrative Committee was authorized to take the necessary steps to bring this about. Acting under this authori- zation Dr. North, the President of the Council, invited and appointed a carefidly selected group of persons from the dif- ferent religious bodies whose cooperation was essential, to serve as members of a Commission of One Hundred." In the same statement the constitution of the Commis- sion and its relation to other agencies were thus defined: "The Commission is made up of members of the denomi- national war commissions and other denominational war service bodies, of interdenominational agencies like the War Work Councils of the Young Men's Christian Associations and the Young Womens Christian Associations, the National Simday-School War Council, the organization of Young People's Societies, and the American Bible Society, and the commissions and committees of the Federal Council. Its executive com- mittee includes members of these various bodies and agencies, and its advisory council consists of the chairmen or secretaries of the larger denominational war commissions. It is cooperating with the War Commission of the Roman Catholic Church, and with the agencies of our Jewish fellow-citizens in matters of common concern such as securing the appointment of an adequate number of chaplains and improving moral conditions at home and abroad. With the permanent commissions of the Federal Council its relations are necessarily close and in- 154 Federal Council timate and in all that concerns war work the officers and the commissions of the Council and the General War-Time Com- mission are working together." The purposes of the Commission were defined at its first meeting as follows: "l. To coordinate existing and proposed activities and to bring them into intelligent and sympathetic relationship so as to avoid all waste and friction and to promote fefficiency. 2. To suggest to the proper agency or agencies any further work called for and not being done. 3. To provide for or perform such work as can best be done in a cooperative way. 4. To furnish means of common and imited expression when such is desired; and finally, 5. To provide a body which would be prepared to deal in a spirit of cooperation with the new problems of reconstruction which may have to be faced after the war." Among the activities which were imdertaken coopera- tively by the churches through the Commission and its associated committees were the following: securing and furnishing information concerning needs and opportuni- ties for religious work by means of a series of surveys; furnishing to the religious and secular press information concerning the cooperative work of the churches; pro- moting a better mutual understanding of plans and pur- poses and establishing more effective cooperation between the churches and the welfare agencies; securing the ap- pointment of an adequate number of well qualified Army and Navy chaplains and assuring them of the united sup- port of the churches in the endeavor to have them pro- vided with equipment, rank and organization adequate to the effective performance of their duties; coordinating the activities of the chaplains and other religious workers within the camps with the work of the several churches in the neighborhood; ascertaining their special needs and General War-Time Commission 155 providing for the moral and religious welfare of negro troops; providing religious ministration for interned aliens; supplying printed matter needed for the use of chaplains and churches; reinforcing the efforts of the Government to maintain a high moral standard in the Army, both here and overseas, and to conserve for the future the results of the present interest in social hygiene; providing for the religious and moral welfare of the workers in communities engaged in the manufactiu-e of munitions of war and in the shipbuilding industry; securing recruits for the work of the churches at home and abroad from men in military and naval Service; stimulating local churches to mobilize their resources for war-time tasks; bringing the denominations together for coopera- tive effort in raising funds for war work; arranging for an exchange of ministerial service by the ministers of America and those of Great Britain and other Allied countries; encouraging the churches to welcome soldiers and sailors upon their return to civilian life and cooperating with the Government in helping to secure for them prompt employment; deepening the spirit of penitence and inter- cession among the people. Serving as a clearing house of information, a coordinat- ing agency and, when desired, as a means of joint ad- ministration and common expression, the General War- Time Commission of the Churches enabled the Churches to present a united front in facing new problems and responsibilities. While canying forward their several denominational activities separately, the Churches asso- ciated in this central Commission worked together ef- fectively in a spirit of helpful and sympathetic coopera- tion, avoiding competition and duplication of effort in the full knowledge of what others were doing. The work of the War-Time Commission was done through an 156 Federal Council Executive Committee and other standing and special committees.* Executive Committee Speer, Dr. Robert E., Chairman, 156 Fifth Avenue, New York City.

General War-Time Commission 157 The active work of the Coimnission has been carried forward by the Executive Committee, meet- ing regularly twice a month. At these meetings executive officers of the various denominational and interdenominational agencies engaged in war work have been brought together for mutual inter- change of information and for the purpose of inaugurating enterprises to be undertaken cooperatively. Effective cooperation with interdenominational and other agencies for war work has been secured through the attendance of their representatives at the meetings of the Executive Committee, and through committees on conference with the Y.

During its first year the expenses of the General War- Time Commission were met about equally by subscrip- tions from the denominational commissions and from individual contributors. The National War Work Council of the Y. M. C. A., and the War Work Council of the National Board of the Y. W. C. A. have contributed toward the work of the Commission and its associated committees, and the work of the Joint Committee on War Production Communities during the first six months was financed by the several Church boards of home missions. The expenses of the General War-Time Com- mission and its affiliated committees for the year 1918- 1919 have been guaranteed by the fourteen denomina- 158 Federal Council tional commissions cooperating in the Interchurch Emer- gency Campaign. A joint budget of expenses for interchurch after-war work was adopted, to be raised by apportionment among the cooperating Churches. The executive staff of the General War-Time Commission, the Joint Committee on War Production Communities, and other important committees included at different times nine secretaries released by churches and other religious organizations in order to devote the larger part of their time to this work. The investigators engaged in the survey of war industrial communities were similarly released for this work by the Church boards. Committee on Survey of the Field and Work Batten, Rev.

A survey of the camps already in opera- tion had been conducted under the direction of the tem- porary Committee of the Chtu-ches on War Work, in July 1917, before the organization of the General War-Time Commission. This proved serviceable and the survey was continued and broadened in scope. A preliminary report covering all the National Army and National Guard train- ing camps was distributed in November for the informa- tion of the representatives of the agencies at work in the camps. In May, 1918, a printed edition of the "Survey of the Moral and Religious Forces in the Military Camps and Naval Stations in the United States" was issued. General War-Time Commission 159 covering 30 National Army and National Guard camps, 165 Regular Army camps, posts and aviation fields and 46 naval stations, a total of 241. This was followed on August 1, 1918, by a survey covering 97 military and naval hospitals. Since March, 1918, a field secretary has been continuously engaged in the investigation of conditions in the camps and in communities adjacent to camps where negro troops are located. Under the direc- tion of the Joint Committee on War Production Communi- ties a survey was made of the industrial plants where war necessities were being manufactured, including the rapidly developing communities in ordnance reserva- tions and about shipbuilding plants, and later extended to the logging camps. Information concerning the situa- tion in the Army overseas has been received and transmit- ted to the denominational commissions from time to time.* General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains t Recognized by mutual agreement as a standing committee of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches in all that concerns the appointment and assignment of chaplains.

The General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains, by mutual agreement, has acted as a committee of the Commission during the greater part of the war in all matters relating to the appointment and assignment of chaplains. This is a permanent committee, including in its membership rep- resentatives of the chaplains' committees of the several evangelical Churches, and has been entrusted by the Government with the duty of investigating all applica- tions from Protestants for commissions as chaplain in the Army or Navy. Other committees have been appointed from time to time to deal with specific needs of chaplains. A depot to supply communion services for use in field and hospital, and other necessary articles of workiag equipment such as typewriters, was established in the office of the Commission.* This was opened especially for the convenience of chaplaias under orders to sail from the port of New York who belonged to denominations without central offices in New York City. Within three months after the establishment of this depot, equipment to the value of over $10,000 was supplied to chaplains of 17 denominations and charged at cost to the accounts of their respective commissions.

The committees on Camp Neighborhoods and on Volun- tary Chaplains* worked to secure the cooperation of local churches in the interest of the soldiers in the adjacent camps and to secure the most effective coordination of the various religious forces at work both in the camps and the communities. During the early months of mobilization, when the supply of regular chaplains was wholly inadequate, conferences were arranged in Atlanta, Forth Worth, New York and Chicago, to afford an op- portvuiity for an exchange of plans and experiences by the voltmtary chaplains or visiting clergymen, known as camp pastors, representing the several Churches in the camps, and to assist them in meeting the problems with which they were faced in undertaking a novel and important service. The growing spirit of unity among the various groups of religious workers was in no small measure due to the helpful interest of this Committee. Committee on Interchurch Buildings Atkinson, Rev.

Because there was no community of any size in the neighborhood, and in response to the request of Major-General J. Franklin Bell, then Commandant at Camp Upton, the chapel was located within the camp. It was opened on Sun- day, February 24, 1918, by a service in which Protest- ants, Catholics and Jews united, and is open to all for worship and other religious uses. With the retention of Camp Upton as a permanent mihtary establishment, the Chapel will remain a useful and notable example of inter- church cooperation.

"The Statement of Faith," a blank form, was prepared especially for the use of chaplains overseas in receiving the confession of faith of men in Service and forwarding their names to the churches at home into whose membership they desired to be received. Officials General War-Time Commission 163 of a large number of denominations who were consulted in its preparation gave assurance that such statements would be accepted as satisfactory by churches of their denominations when forwarded by chaplains connected with another communion. Of this blank, 16,400 copies were distributed to chaplains, and upon request from certain y. M. C. A. secretaries, 12,500 were printed for use in the camps in this country. A card of references to readings in the New Testament, selected for the purpose of calling attention to particularly helpful passages, was prepared for insertion in Testaments distributed among soldiers and sailors. Through chaplains, 52,000 of these cards were distributed and also 50,000 in the forni of gunlmed pasters for insertion in the covers of Testaments. A special edition of. 200,000 cards bearing the red triangle imprint was purchased by the Y. M. C. A. to accompany their distribution of Testaments. A card index giving the name, assignment, military address and denomination of each chaplain was prepared and furnished at cost to the agencies desiring it, thus assisting them to keep in touch with the chaplains. As reports of new assign- ments, changed assignments, new addresses, discharges, and the like, have been received, correction sheets have been issued. After assurance was received from the Government that there would be no objection to such use of the Navy pennant, the Committee on a Church Flag* recommended to the churches as a Chtirch Flag the Church Pennant in use in the United States Navy, a dark blue Latin cross upon a white field. A leaflet was prepared and distributed giving exact dimensions and explaining the appropriate use of the flag. ♦For membership of this committee, see page 175. 164 Federal Council A memorial advocating national prohibition as a war measure was presented to the President and the members of Congress.* Statements have been issued concerning the use of foreign languages in public assemblies, and the release of conscientious objectors at the close of the war. When the troops began to return in December, 1918, a letter to pastors in the form of a leaflet calling attention to "The Churches' Duty to the Returning Sol- diers and Sailors" was sent to 110,000 pastors throughout the country. Later, the pamphlets, "Back Home" and "The Chaplain Says 'Before the Whistle Toots,' " were issued, containing the farewell messages of two Army chaplains to their men. Chaplains at the demobilization camps are distributing 225,000 of these. For the comfort of parents and relatives who mourn the loss of those who made the supreme sacrifice in the Service, the "Soldiers of the Wooden Cross," a sermon by Major Charles H. Brent, Senior Staff Chaplain of the American Expedi- tionary Forces, was published and supplied at cost to the denominational commissions for distribution. The interest of the Church in the deeper problems of the future was not overlooked, and two papers read by the Secretary at meetings of the Commission and the Execu- tive Committee of the Federal Council were issued in pamphlet form, "The Way Out," dealing with the deeper problems raised by the war and "Looking Forward," giving expression to the principles to be followed in meeting the new problems of the period of reconstruction. The titles of pamphlets issued by the Commission are as follows: *For membership of the committee which drafted the memorial, see page 174.

The Committee issued a pamphlet entitled "War Work by the Church for Negro Soldiers and Sailors." Reports based upon the investigation of con- ditions among the negro troops were regtdarly forwarded to the War Department and in many instances furnished a basis for Government action in correcting unfortunate situations. A special conference with the War Depart- ment brought together representative negroes and others particularly interested in the problem and was of large significance. Important recommendations were also made to the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A. and the War Camp Community Service concerning steps that they could take to meet existing needs in certain camps. The Committee has served a useful purpose in bringing to- gether representatives of several agencies for work among negroes, thus leading to more cooperative effort in several directions. The work is felt to have been a contribution toward meeting one of the most serious problems with which the nation is faced at the present time. Committee on Days of Prayer and the Devotional Life Lawson, Rev. Albert G., Chairman, 2041 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Brockman, Fletcher S. Chamberlain, Rev. William I. Washburn, Rev. Henry B. The Commission has afforded the Churches a means of common expression. A call was issued for the observance of the Thanksgiving season, 1917, as a time for confession and supplication. Suggestions for the observance of General War-Time Commission 169 Memorial Day, 1918, as a day of prayer, in accordance with the proclamation of the President, were distributed widely among the pastors throughout the country.* In response to one of these suggestions, resolutions of loyalty were adopted by hundreds of churches and transmitted to the President. The churches were asked to observe Simday, August 4, 1918, by calling attention to the significance of the beginning of the fifth year of the war. After the signing of the armistice an appropriate Christ- mas message was sent to the pastors of the churches throughout the country.

Dtiring the one and one-half years in which the cotintry was engaged in war, the decreased attendance upon theological seminaries caused anxiety concerning the supply of candidates for the various forms of Christian ministry, and led to the organization of a Committee on Recruiting and Training for the Work of the Churches at Home and Abroad. The sudden breaking up of the Student Army Training Corps and the beginning of demobilization rendered the work of this Committee especially important. The Cotmcil of Church Boards of Education, the Y. M. C. A., and the General War- General War-Time Commission 171 Time Commission were represented in the membership of this Committee. Through the chaplains, Y. M. C. A. secretaries, special visitors to the camps and local pastors in the vicinity of the camps, it was arranged to present to the men the opportunities for service in the ministry and other forms of Christian work. Names of promising candidates were secured from colleges and pastors at home. Through the Association Press appropriate literature was issued including a series of eighteen booklets. Several members of this Committee while serving overseas found there a ready response to their appeal for men to con- sider seriously the claims of the ministry and other forms of religious and philanthropic work as a means of con- tinuing their efforts for the establishment of those ideals for which they had been fighting. While President Mackenzie, Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Train- ing, was abroad he arranged with the military authorities for the inclusion of theological studies among the subjects of instruction provided for men detained overseas in military service. Upon Dr. Mackenzie's rettim. President Stevenson assumed responsibility for furthering these plans. Arrangements were made with a number of British tmiversities to provide such training, and nearly one hundred students pursued their studies in England and Scotland, having been detailed by the War De- partment for this purpose. But for a mistake in the announcement the number would have been even larger. Committee on the Employment of Returning Soldiers Watson, Rev. E. O., Chairman, 40 Washington Post Building, Washington, D. C. Cramer, Rev. W. Stuart, Secretary, 105 East 22d Street, NewYork City. Glenn, John M. Tippy, Rev. Worth M. Langhome, Rev. F. Paul Titsworth, Frederick S. White, Rev. Gaylord S. 172 Federal Council Since the signing of the armistice, the attention of the churches has been directed increasingly to their oppor- tunities and responsibilities in connection with the re- turning soldiers and sailors. In December, 1918, a letter was addressed to the pastors throughout the country suggesting ways in which the churches might help to welcome and protect the returning men, and assist them to resume their normal places in civilian life. Later, in response to a suggestion from the Government, the Committee distributed among the pastors throughout the country a definite plan for the cooperation of the churches with the United States Employment Service in securing employment promptly for returning men. In response to a suggestion from the staff chaplains of the American Expeditionary Forces, arrangements have been made, under the direction of the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains, to secure for returning chap- lains opportunities to lay before the churches the needs of men returning from military service. In addition to the standing committees whose work is described above, the following committees were con- stituted by the Commission at different times for the performance of important tasks.

Hicks, Harry Wade Post, James, H. King, Landreth H. Shuey, Edwin L. Kimball, Alfred R. Smith, Fred B. WoeUkin, Rev. Cornelius In October, 1917, the Co^nmission on Interchurch Federations arranged for a congress on interchurch work 178 Federal Council, Interchurch Federations in Pittsburgh. The subject of interchurch war work naturally received a prominent place in the discussions and the results of the conference were published in the pamphlet, "War-Time Tasks of Every Church and Community," containing suggestions as to methods of church cooperation in war work. This Commission has continued throughout the war to cooperate in many forms of war work. Upon invitation of the Y. M. C. A., the Chairman spent six months in France and the report of his visit, "Observations in France," was issued by the Association Press. Upon his return he traveled almost ponstantly assisting in the preparation for the United War Work Campaign. Both the Chairman and the Secretary have spoken frequently to men in the military and naval camps. In September, 1918, a conference of secretaries and officers of church federations was held in Chicago in co- operation with the National Committee on the Churches and the Moral Aims of the War and the Inter-Church War Work Committee of the Chicago Church Federa- tion Council. The results of the conference were sum- marized as an appendix to "The Manual of Interchurch Work." The Secretary served as Secretary of the Committee on Camp Neighborhoods* of the General War-Time Com- mission of the Churches, and the resources of the Com- mission were placed at the disposal of that Committee wherever it was desired to secure local cooperation on the part of the churches. *See page 160.

Upon the declaration of war in April, 1917, the Sec- retary of the Commission on the Church and Social Service went to Washington to reorganize the work for the chap- lains. In addition to his responsibilities as Secretary of the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains, he also served during the summer as Executive Secretary of the Committee of the Churches on War Work, and the work of this Committee was conducted through the office of the Commission. Later, he organized the Committee on War-Time Work in the Local Church and Cooperation with the American Red Cross.* For the purpose of getting the churches, especially those distant from training camps, to realize that they had an important task to perform, under the direction of this Committee "A War-Time Program for Local Churches" was prepared and issued in pamphlet form, with a special edition for country chiu-ches pre- pared by the Rural Church Section of the Committee. *For membership of this committee, see page 1 74. 180 Federal Council These met with such cordial response that 20,300 copies of the former and 51,600 of the latter were distributed. The Secretary of the Commission was frequently con- sulted by the several departments of the American Red Cross concerning the organization of the churches for cooperation in the work of relief. In organizing the women of the churches for the preparation of Red Cross supplies, the Commission cooperated in the preparation of pamphlet literature financed by the Red Cross and issued with de- nominational imprints. In the first War Fund drive the Red Cross poster was issued. Upon request of the De- partment of Civilian Relief a conference was arranged with the general secretaries of the young people's societies, which resulted in the decision to organize classes in "Home and Service" for the educating of young people in this work as a part of their training in citizenship. For the use of the Red Cross the Commission compiled a selected list of 500 ministers available as Red Cross speakers; a com- plete calendar of Church assemblies, conventions, con- ferences and S3Tiods, with dates of meeting; and with the assistance of the Statistical Bureau of the Foreign Mis- sions Conference a list of 7,000 missionaries in foreign lands together with a list of hospitals, colleges and large mission centers. The Commission has also cooperated with the New York State Woman Suffrage Party, the National Child Labor Committee in the preparation of a statement on Child Labor and the War, with the Department of Agriculture, the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief in its Christmas Campaign in 1917, and with the National Organization for Public Health Nursing. At the request of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, the Commission began the study of the new centers of war industries in December, 1917, and Church and Social Service 181 work in these centers was carried forward by the Com- mission until the organization of the Joint Committee on War Production Communities on July 15, 1918. The Commission was then asked to assume executive responsi- bility for the work of the Joint Committee.* Cooperation with the United States Public Health Service in the new national movement for the control of venereal diseases resulted in the organization of the Joint Committee on Social Hygiene,! representing the General War-Time Commission of the Churches and the Commission on the Church and Social Service. This Committee has in turn secured the cooperation of the Sunday-School Council in developing the educational feature of the movement and arranged for cooperation of the churches with the Girls' Protective League. An investigation made early in the past summer into the condition of women in industries as affected by the war, led to the preparation of a pamphlet "The Chtirch and Women in Industry" as the Labor Sunday message of the Commission to the churches. This pamphlet has been circulated to the extent of upwards of 100,000 copies. The need of reconstruction work in the social service field has been central in the thought of the Commission in all its efforts. In cooperation with the Social Service Commission of the Presb5i;erian Church, the Commission has issued a "Study Outline in the Problems of the Re- construction Period." The findings of a conference held in Atlantic City in January, 1918, called for a definite relation on the part of the Church to the movement for *For the report of the Joint Committee on War Production Commimities see, page 193. fFor membership of this committee, see page ] 73. 182 Federal Council, Church and Social Service industrial democracy. Material is constantly being gath- ered upon problems connected with industrial relations for the purpose of securing the information necessary to form a contribution on the part of the Church to the solu- tion of current social problems of reconstruction. The Commissioner of Education requested the Com- mission on the Church and Social Service to secure the cooperation of the churches in the national movement for the Americanization of immigrants during and after the war. A committee representing the Home Missions Council, the Cotmcil of Women for Home Missions and the Federal Cotmcil began a campaign to speed up this work in church missions among foreigners, in Sunday- schools and in local chtirches.

Tipple, Dr. Ezra S. Wilson, Rev. Clarence True The Strengthen America Campaign was conducted in favor of national prohibition by the Rev. Charles Stelzle, Field Secretary of the Federal Council for Special Service, and the purpose was to win the support especially of the workingmen of America for national prohibition by an- swering the arguments for liquor through a campaign of national scope, "conducted with an intelligent and sympathetic understanding of the social and economic problems of the people." The culmination of the cam- paign, for which preparations had been made during several years, came in the time of war, and naturally much emphasis was laid upon the importance of national prohibition as a war measure. Several methods were employed. Sixty pieces of ad- vertising copy were written and furnished to individuals and local committees throughout the country. These have appeared in over one thousand daily and weekly newspapers and have been used quite generally in the religious press. Several full page advertisements appeared in important national weeklies. The substance of the arguments used in the advertisements were presented also in a series of thirty leaflets, prepared especially for workingmen and printed in lots of one million at a time. One dozen posters have been issued, which have been re- Strengthen America Campaign 185 produced extensively in the religious press and used in local prohibition campaigns. A one-reel motion picture, entitled "Strengthen America," was produced and fur- nished, together with advertising material. To counteract the efforts to conamit organized labor to the support of the liquor traffic, paid advertisements and special articles have appeared in the labor press and mass meetings have been arranged simultaneously with conventions of the Federation of Labor. Absolutely reliable data on the basis of a comprehen- sive study of the economic aspectsof the liquor problem have been issued in the volume, "Why Prohibition?" which has been widely distributed among the members of Congress, labor leaders and the members of state legislatures. Commissioner and Messages to the Seat of War In June, 1918, Rev. Charles S. Macfarland, General Secretary of the Federal Council, was sent as Commis- sioner to France and Belgium and conveyed messages to the French Nation, the Allied Armies and the American Army.

Charles Army and Navy Chaplains 187 With the great and rapid expansion of the armed forces of the country when on April 6, 1917, we entered upon the war, it was realized by those interested in the religious welfare of the soldiers and sailors that a large number of competent men would be needed to serve as chaplains. There were at that time in the Regular Army 69 chap- lains (Protestant 53, Catholic 16) and in the Navy, 44 (Protestant 31, Cathohc 13). For several years there had been a Committee of the Federal Council on Army and Navy Chaplains serving in connection with the Washington Committee of the Federal Council at the offices in Washington. This Committee had secured important Congressional action increasing the number of chaplains in the Navy and providing for their proper status. At the beginning of the war the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains, representative of all the Protestant evangelical bodies, was created. By agreement with the War Department this Com- mittee imdertook the task of investigating all applica- tions for chaplaincies from Protestant ministers, the Department agreeing ordinarily to appoint only those recommended by the Committee. According to the then existing law one chaplain was allowed for each regiment and the age limits for candi- dates were from twenty-one to thirty-five years. In the Navy the proportion was one chaplain for each 1,250 officers and enlisted men, and the age limits twenty-one to thirty-one and one-half. The War Department soon raised the strength of an infantry regiment to 3,600 and increased the size of field artillery and other units. This reduced the proportion of chaplains two-thirds, and it became apparent that under the law it would be im- possible to provide an adequate number of chaplains to care for the religious interests of the Army. The maxi- 188 Federal Council mum limit of age also made it impossible to call into the Service many men exceptionally well qualified by experience and maturity. This was the situation when the Committee began the task of stimulating capable men to apply for service as chaplains and examining all applications with a view to recommending to the War Department only men really qualified for commissions. In addition to the rou- tine work of the office, which, vnth the rapid increase of the Army and the growing patriotic sentiment of the country, soon assumed large proportions, the Com- mittee early devoted its attention to an effort to estab- lish by law the proportion of chaplains to officers and enlisted men that obtained before the regiments were increased in size. These efforts culminated in the passage of a bill which became law on April 27, 1918, and pro- vided that for each 1,200 officers and enlisted men in the Army there should be one chaplain. Another important matter which the Committee may be said to have initiated through a suggestion to the War Department was the organization of a Training School for Chaplains and Approved Chaplain Candidates, which began its work in March, 1918. The War Depart- ment assigned Chaplain A. A. Pruden, Major, Coast Artillery, to draw up a plan for the school and when the plan was approved Major Pruden was ordered to its command. The course covered five weeks. The school, which opened in Fort Monroe with about 70 students, was transferred for the second session to Camp Zachary Taylor and continued there until the completion of the session which was in progress at the signing of the armistice. The total number of students reported was 1,356. It was felt by students and officers and by the Com- mittee that the work of the School was of great value. Army and Navy Chaplains 189 Other matters to which the Committee gave attention were the extension of the limit of age of chaplains to forty-five years, thus making it possible to obtain the services of a number of men of greater maturity and ex- perience, and the obtaining from the, War Department of an order authorizing the appointment of a limited mmiber of exceptionally well qualified men over this age limit. The question of equipment of chaplains was a matter that engaged the attention of the Committee. Early in its work and as a result of its recommendations, the war commissions of several of the denominations made provision for equipping chaplains of their respective churches with communion sets and portable type- writers and in August, 1918, the War Department issued a memorandum granting each chaplain a Corona type- writer and directing the Commanding Officers to provide chaplains with facilities for transportation whenever possible. During the war the Committee made representations to the War Department concerning the need of some form of organization for the chaplains. In the Navy the in- terests of the chaplains were cared for by the assign- ment by Secretary Daniels of an experienced chaplain, Captain John B. Frazier, to the Bureau of Navigation, for the purpose of selecting candidates and directing their training and work. An arrangement was made by the Committee with the Navy Department similar to that reached with the War Department with regard to the recommendation of Protestant candidates. The assignment of Chaplain Frazier to have special oversight of the Navy chaplains proved an admirable arrangement. The War Department, however, did not favor a similar arrangement but left the matter with the Adjutant Gen- 190 Federal Council eral's office where it belonged according to traditional military usage. While the work was handled in this office with good judgment and fairness to all the interests involved, the Committee was not convinced that the work of the assignment of chaplains and the oversight of their duties might not have been more effectively accomplished through the advice and direction of an experienced chaplain. Since the war the Committee has given still further attention to the question of obtaining for the chap- lains the consent of the War Department to the organiza- tion of a Chaplain Corps. A letter urging this upon the attention of the Secretary of War was sent to him under date of March 3, 1919. It is hoped to obtain the approval of the War Department for some form of organization for the chaplains when the plans for the permanent Army are finally formulated. Only under some such arrange- ment does the Committee feel that the Army chaplains can be placed in a position in which they can do their work effectively and it is evident that it will be difficult to attract the more competent men to apply for chaplain- cies in the permanent Army tmless they are assured of some organization to enable them to work under advan- tageous conditions. The Committee expects to continue its active existence and hopes to have the cordial support of the denominations represented. Before the war the Church as a whole failed to give adequate recognition to the important work of the chap- lains in the Army and Navy. For the emergency of the war the denominations have given many of their ablest men to this service. The interest in the work of the chaplains thus evoked should not be permitted to dissipate. These men deserve sympathy and support as they discharge a most difficult and at the same time most important service.

The Conmiission on the Church and Social Service, at the request of the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, began the study of the new centers of war in- dustries in December, 1917. The Committee on City and Immigrant Work of the Home Missions Council* was studying the same field at the same time. The findings of these investigations were reported to the Home Missions Council and the Council of Women for Home Missions on *For report of the war work of the Home Missions Council, see page 209. 194 Federal Council January 17, 1918. Work in these centers was taken up and carried forward by the Commission on the Church and Social Service until July 15, 1918, when the Joint Committee on War Production Commimities was organ- ized by the Home Missions Cotincil and the General War-Time Commission of the Chtu-ches. At the request of the Joint Committee, the Social Service Commission asstuned executive responsibility for the task, and its regular staff was sufficiently enlarged for the purpose by men assigned by the boards of home missions. The Joint Committee has brought about working agree- ments between the constituent boards and bodies of the Committee with the Government, with managers of in- dustries and with the Christian Associations. The work of the Committee was at first financed by the cooperating boards and later included in the budget of the Inter- church Emergency Campaign. The following specific tasks have been accomplished: As many as 115 communities were surveyed and 30 others visited. The surveys were classified, and ab- stracts were multigraphed and made available to the cooperating bodies and also, in response to requests, to the Jewish Welfare Board, the Y. M. C. A., the National Catholic War Council and the War Camp Community Service. The Government also was supplied with a large amount of information. The surveys made include centers of war industries in the Eastern states, the South, the Middle- West and the Pacific coast from Seattle to Los Angeles, also extended studies of the logging camps of the South (North and South Carolina and Florida) and of the Pacific North-West in the states of Washington and Oregon from the Canadian line south. Liberty Churches have been established in seven of the ordnance reservations: Ancor near Cincinnati, Nitro, War Production Communities 195 W. Va., Belcoville, N. J., Amatol, N. J., Penniman, Va., Seven Pines, Va., and Muscle Shoals, Ala. These Liberty Churches were required by the conditions prevailing in the reservations which made it impossible to establish denominational churches and which brought about the order of the War Department that there should be only one Protestant, one Catholic and one Hebrew chtirch in each reservation. The Liberty Churches are religious societies, representing American Protestantism, with mem- bership rolls by denominations. They are directed by staffs of workers, with a minimum of one pastor. Each church is underwritten by a denominational home missions board or war council but its management is under the Joint Committee on War Production Communities. Of the seven Liberty Churches, Nitro and Amatol were under- written by the Board of Home Missions of the Presby- terian Chiurch in the U. S. A., with assistance at Amatol by the local presbytery; Seven Pines and Muscle Shoals by the War Work Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Chiurch, South; Belcoville by the National Lutheran Com- mission for Soldiers' and Sailors'Welfare; Penniman by the Home Missions comniittee of the Presbyterian Church in the U. S. and the local presbytery; and Ancor by the Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church . These Liberty Churches represent a striking achieve- ment in cooperation. They will continue as Liberty Churches dtiring the period of reconstruction or until the communities are turned back to civil control, when the Liberty Churches are to be transferred to the denominations to which they were previously allocated.* The Shipping Board developed large housing projects *After the dissolution of the Joint Committee, May 1, 1919, the activities of Liberty Churches and work among rural churches will be continued under the direction of the Home Missions Councils. 196 Federal Council in several centers, and at Hilton in Newport News, Va., Dundalk near Baltimore, Md., and Pembroke on the east side of Bethlehem, Pa., the local chtirches were induced to manage the problem concertedly. In permanent communities where war industries have been developed on a large scale, the work of the Joint Committee has been to tinite the churches in some sort of war council to care for the new workingmen and their families, to strengthen existing churches for this purpose, to create new churches with as little waste and' com- petitive effort as possible, to develop the sympathy and understanding of the churches with working people, to cooperate with civic, social and governmental agencies and oflScials working in these centers. At different times 14 whole-time community organizers have been at work and 12 half-time workers. They were located in the more important centers such as Bethlehem, Pa., Newport News, Va., Baltimore, Md., Chester, Pa., the Calumet area (Gary and Hammond, Ind.); Chicago, 111.; Cincinnati, the Mahoning Valley, Columbus, Marion, Bucyrus and Mansfield, O.; Quiacy, Mass., Buffalo, N. Y., Pittsburgh, Pa., Seattle, Wash., Portland, Ore.; San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cal. In the Calumet area, a secretary assigned by the Board of Home Missions of the Presbjrterian Church in the U. S. A. was placed in charge of the Calumet Church and Home Missions Federation previously established. In Buffalo and Pittsbxirgh the work was directed by the chiu-ch federations assisted by men assigned from the boards. In Cincinnati the social agencies of the city and the chvu-ches, under the leadership of the chtu-ches, co- operated in the care of the population about war indus- tries. A similar cooperation is being worked out for the entire state of Ohio. War Production Communities 197 Of the whole-time commmiity organizers, three were furnished by the American Baptist- Home Mission Society, one by the American Missionary Association (Congregational), four by the Methodist Episcopal Board of Home Missions, one by the War Work Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, one by the Board of Home Missions of the Reformed Church in the U. S., and one by the Council of Women for Home Missions. A training conference for these organizers was held at Calvary Chapel, New York City, covering a period of four days. The work of the Rural Secretary began on September 1, 1918, under the direction of the Committee on Rural Fields, which consists of the denominational rural life secretaries. He established cooperation with the young people's societies and with the Y. M. C. A. in the United War Work Campaign. He sectired a list of 3,000 ministers to speak before farmers' institutes and in behalf of state secretaries of agriculture and councils of defense. A standard for Rural Liberty Churches* was drawn up by the Committee on Ruxal Fields, which has been welcomed by the Secretary of Agriculture and which is designed to lift up the standards of community work in rural fields. An understanding has been reached with the Govern- ment in the work of reconstruction and in the care of demobilized soldiers so far as these affect rural territory. Plans were also made looking to a general oversight of Protestant interests in the large projects involving rec- lamation of arid and waste lands and their colonization. At different times four women organizers or surveyors *A Rural Liberty Church is not to be confused with the co- operative religious societies in ordnance reservations known as Liberty Churches but is a country church which conforms to certain standards of patriotic and social activity. 198 Federal Council were assigned by the Council of Women for Home Mis- sions, the National Lutheran Commission for Soldiers' and Sailors' Welfare and the Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church to study the work of women industrial workers in war centers. The com- munity organizers made it part of their duty to interest and if possible to organize the women of the local churches in behalf of the welfare of industrial women. The Secretary for Negro Welfare was assigned to the Joint Committee by the American Missionary Associa- tion (Congregational), the first of November. He visited the larger ordnance reservations to study the needs of negro churches, and collaborated in the initial organiza- tion in Southern lumber camps. His main work, however, consists in the organization of the negro churches in the negro sections of war industrial communities to care for their own people and especially for immigrants from the South. Initial federations have been set up in Newark, N. J., and at Chester, Pa. A study of logging camps in North and South Carolina and Florida has led to the recommendation, approved in principle by the Joint Committee, that through the es- tablished home mission boards and in cooperation with the lumber industries and the boards having to do with negro welfare and especially of the negro churches themselves, reHgious care and necessary forms of com- munity service should be extended to those neglected and extremely needy fields. An extensive study has been made of logging camps in the Pacific North-West, ex- tending from the Canadian border south. In this field 200,000 men work in 700 logging camps and the area is a center of an extremely aggressive social agitation. As a result of this survey the boards have been recom- mended to create a central committee representing the War Production Communities 199 cooperative societies, with an advisory committee on the coast, and an executive staff consisting of a chief industrial chaplain, assisted by a supervising official for each denomination and a group of about 100 industrial chaplains, one for each logging enterprise. 200 Federal Council THE UNITED COMMITTEE ON WAR TEMPERANCE ACTIVITIES IN THE ARMY AND NAVY 289 Fourth Avenue, New York Overseas Address: 12 Rue d'Aguesseau, Paris, France.

It was initiated by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America at its meeting in Washington May 8-9, 1917, and the entire organization and office of the Commission on Temperance of the Federal Council was made available for its use. It unites and represents in its program twenty -two leading national temperance organizations and groups, religious, educa- tional and scientific. It is officially authorized and recognized by the War and Navy Departments of the Government and is the only agency permitted to do educational work of this kind among the soldiers and sailors. Through the chap- lains and the Y. M. C. A. and K. of C. secretaries it gains direct contact with the men in the camps, can- tonments and forts, and among the men in the field overseas and on the returning transports. It prepares the plans and material and provides the equipment, all especially designed to meet the needs and daily experiences of young men taken from home and business life and placed in the Army and Navy. In this way it gains the greatest possible efficiency by avoiding all duplication of time, effort, material and expense. Since the early summer of 1917 it has conducted a vigorous educational campaign, reaching all the military and naval camps and forts throughout the United States. The best and most practical facts regarding drink have been taken to milUons of men in training in the form of animated cartoons for use in all the "movies" in the camps, by means of stereomotorgraphs or automatic stereopticons, 202 Federal Council slides, specially designed posters, booklets, literature, and through able speakers of wide reputation. The stereomotorgraphs, running day and night, have been placed in all the large camps, where they have rotated from one Y. M. C. A. hut to another, week by week, telling their story by picture and pointed fact to thousands of men. The unique character and self-motion of these machines always attract and hold a crowd of men. Thou- sands of posters, one series following another, have been sent to all the camps. A half million each of two booklets, one a novelette by Vance Thompson, "DoUed-Up-Booze," and a handbook, "The Fighter," have been distributed to soldiers just before leaving this country for active fighting in France. Speakers of national and international reputation, the very best the country can produce, have been sent on long tours for months at a time among the camps. Since the signing of the armistice the work of the Com- mittee has been extended to the armies in Europe. The program carried on among the camps at home has been strengthened and developed to meet the conditions of the great army of men awaiting impatiently the opportunity to return home. It is felt that during the demobiliza- tion period, both at home and abroad, there is special need for the strengthening of morale that will come from a wider knowledge of the dangers of drink, including par- ticularly those of the lighter alcoholics, wine and beer. Headquarters have been established in France. Mr. Arthior E. Whitney, former Executive Secretary of the work at home, has been sent to Paris as Overseas Sec- retary. From that office he is conducting the same vig- orous program of temperance education that has been going on among the men in training in the United States since soon after America entered the great struggle. At War Temperance Activities 203 the same time, from the New York headquarters, the work in the home demobiUzation camps and on the returning transports is not relaxed, but, rather, is strengthened. The program is arranged both at home and abroad so that practically the entire overseas force will be reached two or three times, by completely covering the debarka- tion centers in France with the entire program, including speakers. Ex-Govemor Hanly of Indiana and Dr. Daniel A Poling have already spoken to thousands of men in the A. E. F. Other speakers, including Hon. Oliver W. Stewart and Rev. Harley H. Gill, are definitely scheduled for the entire summer. A program using entirely different ma- terial is in operation in the debarkation camps and de- mobilization points at home. The program has been financed in two ways, first by contributions and pledges from individuals and, second, by contributions and allotments from each of the twenty- two participating organizations. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union contributed over $13,000, the United Society of Christian Endeavor $2,850, the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association $2,100, and the Scientific Tem- perance Federation $700 as well as doing without charge the greater part of the work in preparing the slide nega- tives. Each of the other bodies contributed also in pro- portion to its strength and ability. 204 Federal Council COMMITTEE FOR CHRISTIAN RELIEF IN FRANCE AND BELGIUM 105 East 22d Street, New York City Macfarland, Rev.

Committee on Relations Between the Theological Seminaries of France and the United States Richards, Professor George W., Chairman, Theological Seminary of the Reformed Church in the United States, Lancaster, Pa. The Committee had its inception November 2, 1917, at an informal conference on Protestant work in France, called by the Administrative Committee of the Federal Cotmcil. The United Committee on Christian Service for Relief in France and Belgittm was organized on January 7, 1918, with a view to securing united effort on the part of all the agencies in America working in the interest of the Protestant bodies in France. The purposes of the Committee were stated as follows: to conserve and develop the evangelical chtirches and missions in France and Belgium, to further the inter- change of thought and life between the religious forces in these three nations, and to render moral and financial support to the evangelical institutions and the people of France and Belgium. During the summer of 1918 the Chairman accepted an invitation from the Protestants of France to visit that country in order that the Committee might become better acquainted with the conditions of the chtuches in France, for consultation with the United Committee in Paris relative to the rehabilitation of their religious institu- tions, and for constiltation with them and the officials of the American Red Cross relative to mutual service in the work of physical relief. The report of this mission Relief in France and Belgium 207 was made at a Conference on Christian Service in France and Belgium at Yonkers on October 23. The name of the Committee was changed to the Committee for Christian ReUef in France and Belgium, and the churches united in a larger plan of activity. The Committee has issued a souvenir booklet containing messages between the Federal Council and the Protestant Federation in France. In connection with appeals for funds, 75,000 copies of a pamphlet, "The Huguenot Churches of France and Belgium and the Christian People of America," have been distributed. A "Handbook of French and Belgian Protestantism" has been pre- pared by Mrs. Louise Seymour Houghton. This is a history of Protestantism in France and Belgium and is intended to promote a better understanding of French chtu-ch life and inspire warmer affection for the French people. Chaplains Daniel Couve, Albert Leo and A. E. Victor Monod, of the French Army, Chaplain Georges Lauga of the French Navy, Major Pierre Blommaert, Chief Protestant Chaplain of the Belgian Army, and Rev. Henri Anet and Madame Anet of Belgitmi have been associated with the work of the Committee in America. In France there is a corresponding committee, the Comity d'Union Protestante pour les Secours de Guerre en Frange et Belgique, through which committee the ftmds secured are distributed. Dttring the four years of the war a total of $400,000 was collected and forwarded by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America and individuals associated with the Committee, in addition to $293,000 by the American McAll Association. A campaign has been inaugurated to raise an emergency fund of $3,000,000 before the end of the year 1919, to be sent to France and Belgium for church maintenance and the relief and re- 208 Federal Council, Relief in France and Belgium building of churches, especially in the war zone. Of this, $300,000 is needed for immediate emergency but the entire fund of $3,000,000 represents only a beginning in the way of rendering financial assistance to the devas- tated churches of France and Belgium.

The Home Missions Council exists primarily to co- ordinate the activities of the home mission boards and societies of the different evangelical denominations, securing the sense of sympathy and solidarity in common interests and cooperation in common work. It is not, there- fore, itself a distinctive agency for the performance of work. The committees of the Council, of which there are a dozen, each assigned to a special phase of the home mis- sion task, have given detailed attention to new needs created by the war and have aided, through correspond- ence, conferences and reports, the different boards to adapt and apply their efforts to the new conditions. Notably have the committees on City and Immigrant Work, on Rural Fields, on the Negro, and on Exceptional Groups^ been active and influential. The officers and members of the Council have shared 210 Home Missions Council in the policies and purposes of many interdenominational war agencies. They have represented home rhission in- terests in the Federal Cotincil of the Churches of Christ in America in its Executive Committee and Administra- tive Committee, and in its various commissions, and they have been constant and unremitting in service through the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, and its committees. The Council has also been influential in allied move- ments for war relief in heartening the people of the nation with a recognition of the moral issues involved in the war, in promoting Liberty Loans and Food Conservation campaigns and in the more distinctively church move- ments, such as the Interchurch Emergency Campaign, and the Interchurch World Movement. The Council has added its voice to appeals, through the boards and the denominational press, for the quicken- ing of rural morale, for attention to detached and isolated groups of soldiers and for the cooperation and consolida- tion of church congregations necessitated by the enlist- ment of so many ministers in war service. The Council has published the following literature, which has been distributed extensively through the different denominations: "Christian America," a bulletin for pastors, on the general subject of Americanization, the subject of Home Mission Week, observed November 17-24, 1918; "They Come Bringing Gifts," a program for Sunday-schools, ac- companied by a booklet of "Nine Sunday School Stories;" "Making Americans for America," a poster for young people's societies, with suggestions and helps for meet- ings; "Negro New-Comers in Detroit, Michigan," a pamphlet by Dr. George E. Ha3mes, now Director of Negro Economics, Washington, D. C, giving the re- Home Missions Council 211 suits of a survey of the Negro Migration, as manifested in Detroit; "National Reconstruction, Our Home Task," a second bulletin for pastors; and "Indian Missions; Obligations and Opportunities" and "The Negro Migra- tion," special editions of reports of two of the board com- mittees. The Council also cooperated with the Council of Women for Home Missions in the preparation and dis- tribution of a program for women's missionary societies. The Home Missions Council joined with the General War-Time Commission of the Churches in creating the Joint Committee on War Production Communities.* By the appointment of seven members of this Committee of Sixteen, and by the services of its Treasurer, who has been Treasurer of the Joint Committee, and of its Execu- tive Secretary, who has been Recording Secretary of the Joint Committee, and by the hearty and enthusiastic co- operation of its committees on City and Immigrant Work, and on Rural Fields, it has given a full measure of support and service to the work of the Committee. It has financed the Committee through advanced payments made from the treasuries of cooperating home mission boards. In the realm of ideals and aspirations, the Home Mis- sions Cotmcil has stood for a cordial expression of Chris- tian fellowship, a deepening and broadening sense of national and international brotherhood, with all the obligations involved, an earnest and conscientious com- mitment to self-forgetful ministries for human welfare, and the holding, undiminished and unabated, of ethical and spiritual ideals in the midst of the carnage and the sordidness of war. *For the report of the Joint Committee on War Production Communities see page 193. After the dissolution of this Committee its work will be carried on under the direction of the Home Missions Council. 212 Moral Aims of the War NATIONAL COMMITTEE ON THE CHURCHES AND THE MORAL AIMS OF THE WAR 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City Holt, HamUton, Chairman, 119 West 40th Street, New York City.

For the World Alliance GuUck, Rev. Sidney L. This Committee had its inception in a resolution of the Church Peace Union at a meeting held October, 1917, at which time a sum of money was set aside for "a campaign of education on the moral aims of the war" as embodied in the messages of the President of the United States and in the various after-the-war constructive peace programs of America and her Allies, especially those looking toward a League of Nations. The League to Enforce Peace joined with the Church Peace Union and these two, together with the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America Moral Aims of the War 213 and the World Alliance for International Friendship through the Churches, formed a committee, opened an office in New York City and began the active work of or- ganizing and arranging the meetings. The purpose of the organization was to conduct a cam- paign of education through the churches to quicken the spirit of America in support of the President's policies in prosecuting the war for democracy, international justice and a League of Nations. The campaign was undertaken in conjunction with, the Speaking Division of the Committee on Public Informa- tion appointed by President Wilson. Its aims were as follows : to win the war against autoc- racy; to make the world safe for democracy and democ- racy safe for the world; to secure for nations, small and great, safety, justice and equal economic opportunity; and finally to establish a League of Nations. Meetings were organized in important centers all over the country, to which clergymen and leading lajmien rep- resenting churches of all denominations in the surrounding territory were invited. These meetings were addressed by speakers of national and international prominence, divi- ded into teams of two men each, usually one clergyman and one layman. The speakers were provided by the National Committee without expense to the community. The con- ferences met with extraordinary success. Meetings were held in over 300 cities, totalling in all 649 meetings. Through the meetings 33,334 ministers were reached. The attendance at the major meetings and secondary meetings and institutes was over 800,000. There were 32 negro meetings. While fifty or sixty clergymen assisted at the meetings, the following is a list of those who gave a good deal of their time and who spoke constantly : 214 Moral Aims of the War Rev. Wiffiam H. Bitting Rev. Nehemiah Boynton Rev. Arthur J. Brown Rev. Charles Reynolds Brown Rev. George L. Cady Rev. John C. CarUle Rev. Charles P. Carter Rev. Edward N. Cummings Rev. Robert Goldsmith Rev.

Macfarland Rev. William P. Merrill President E. Y. Mullins Rev. C. R. Raymond Sir George Adam Smith Rev. Willard Sperry Rev. W. R. Taylor Rabbi Stephen S. Wise The following laymen rendered most generous and effi- cient service, accompanying the clergymen and speaking more on the technical side of international reconstruction: Professor Benjamin P. Battin Hon. Edward Osgood Brown Hon. Theodore E. Burton Professor Samuel T. Button Professor Irving Fisher Hon. William Dudley Foulke Hon. Edward W. Frost Hamilton Holt Professor Manley O. Hudson Dr. Charles J. Levermore President A. Lawrence Lowell Hon. Theodore Marburg Dr. George W. Nasmyth Judge Alton B. Parker Dr. Lyman P. Powell Dr. William F. Slocum Bolton Smith Hon. William H. Taft Judge William H. Wadhams Arthur Westermayer Judge Thomas Raeburn White Dr. Talcott Williams Sir George Adam Smith rendered splendid assistance to the campaign. His message dwelt exclusively on the great moral aims of the war and did much to strengthen the ties between the British and the American peoples. He came under the special authorization of the British Govern- ment upon invitation from the National Committee. He addressed chambers of commerce, mercantile clubs, civic societies, groups of- ministers and many mass meetings. He spoke at church services of leading Moral Aims of the War 216 Protestant denominations and at university assemblies. He made 119 addresses. Another significant featiire of the campaign was the visit of Rt. Rev. Charles Gore, Lord Bishop of Oxford, and Rev. Arthur T. Guttery, President of the Free Church Council of England and Wales. Their work was along the same lines as that done by Sir George Adam Smith, Bishop Gore making 110 addresses and Dr. Guttery, 131. One of the most valuable services during the campaign was the distribution of six pamphlets prepared especially for the Committee: "The Moral Aims of the War;" "A League of Nations;" "The Moral Values of a League of Nations;" "The Minister and his Preaching in This Time of War;" "Program of the Church in This Time of War;" and "The World Alliance for International Friendship through the Churches." Great quantities of literature on international recon- struction, used by the League to Enforce Peace and the World Alliance, and the utterances of President Wilson on the moral and religious aspects of the war were dis- tributed. During the progress of the campaign 10,000 letters were sent out enclosing a copy of the remarkable statement put out by the English churches, signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, heads of all the various denominations and many of the most prominent Christian leaders of Europe, expressing the wish that the British Government might incorporate as one of its chief war aims some form of a League of Nations pledged to settle disputes among its members by peaceable, judicial methods and to maintain the peace and order of the world. The hundreds of re- plies which came in revealed a sentiment preponderatingly in favor of the demands of the English churches. Only four letters were adverse. 216 Moral Aims of the War Soon after the armistice was signed, the Conunittee distributed 100,000 "Outlines for Discussion" concerning the League of Nations to ministers throughout the United States. The subjects treated were as follows: The Plan, Its Meaning and Development; the Framework of the League; the Immediate Duties of the League; the League and the Question of Armaments; the League as a Cooperative Enterprise; and the Price of a League of Nations. Over 3,000 replies have been received from ministers stating that they are using the Outline in sermons, at prayer meetings or with Bible classes. This means that over 3,000 communities, at least, are studying the League of Nations. The Committee ended its existence at the first of the year, 1919. It was primarily a war-time organization and such of its activities as may be continued during the period of reconstruction have been taken over by the Church Peace Union.

Brewer, Lt. Col. Arthur T. Fynn, Lt. Col. John T. Gauntlett, Col. Sidney France Barker, Lt. Col. William S., Director of War Work. In the week in which President Wilson officially de- clared that our nation was in a state of war with Ger- 218 Salvation Army many, Commander Miss Booth, as National Leader of the Salvation Army, officially proffered to the Federal Government the total force and equipment of the organi- zation. The motive of the overture was the spirit of helpfulness which had moved the hearts and hands of the Army in pre-bellicose days. Its history was such as to give confidence. In the South African War, the Salvation Army had originated and developed an effective system of hut work. At the outbreak of the war in Europe it had immediately responded to the new conditions, the General sending from London to Brussels Colonel Mary Murray with two associated officers, of tried experience, to formulate plans for the welfare of soldiers and provide succor for the thousands of refugees who were crowding into that city. As a Salvation Army worker Colonel Murray had had wide experience, having been through the Boer War. As the daughter of a British General, she found special facilities for carrying forward the work assigned to her. These three officers, arriving in Brus- sells on August 18, 1914, when the war was but two weeks old, were there when the German armies occupied the city and virtually became, for a time, prisoners of war. Before the United States became involved in the war Commander Evangeline Booth had organized an Old Linen campaign, which resulted in the securing of tens of thousands of bandages, compresses, etc. This work was maintained for many months and proved to be of exceptional value in the early stages of the conflict. On account of this varied and long experience, it was felt that there could be foimd for the Army a wide field for useftilness among American soldiers and sailors. The President accepted the offer and gave official recognition to the Army's plans. Before the first American troops landed in France, Salvation Army 219 Lt. Col. William S. Barker had been appointed for recon- naissance on French soil. Within a few days he had reported favorably and Miss Booth, with her War Board, which had already been appointed, proceeded to select suitable officers. At once financial problems arose and for several months the constantly growing expenditure for this special work had to be met from the general funds. These exhausted, it was found necessary to borrow. But so anxious was the Army to take its full part in the war that it was willing to pledge itself to any amount necessary. The development in France, therefore, was carried forward during nearly a year on the Army's meagre internal resources and its credit. Fortunately, the ordi- nary everyday training of the officers had developed a system of the strictest ecomony habitually employed everywhere. The funds available had never been large. The men and women first sent to the American camps in France found nothing prepared for them. They lived as they could and gave their days and nights to easing the burdens of war borne by the soldiers. In many in- stances the officers, both men and women, slept, in the open fields, sometimes without a blanket to cover them, in every case sharing the hardships of the soldiers. It was necessary for them to select as their centers of operations such buildings or parts of buildings as were available. In the devastated areas to which they went there were some- times no buildings that were not at least partly demolished, so they were forced into cellars, wine vaults, and partly demolished residences, roofed temporarily with tarpaulin. Presently many of these places became really remarkable social centers, made as much like home as was possible. By inspiration the women took to baking pies and frying doughnuts, until these things became the symbol of the 220 Salvation Army work. Through the homely little ministries which cen- tered around these demolished places, the boys were brought near to the old home. Supplies, supply trucks and other equipment were purchased in Paris and London, and presently a dozen improvised huts were in operation which were made "like home" as far as possible. It was the first intention to give to the boys without cost such supplies as could be obtained but it was soon found that the soldiers resented this as an implication of charity and a cost charge was then made for all supplies. It was urged upon the officers from the first that their service must not be confined to the mere "service of tables" or the formal ofiice or counter work, but that they should search out ways and means of serving in season and out. In critical situations the Salvationist officers showed themselves in full possession of the soldier spirit. In the St. Mihiel sector they were only two hours behind the American forces in their movement. At Seichprey a little group of women officers made doughnuts and handed out coffee to the fighting men in the midst of a most furious bombardment and refused to desist until ordered to the rear by the Commanding Officer. At Chateau-Thierry the officers moved along with the regiments to which they had been attached into the fiercest fighting. The hospital visitation of the officers is a service deeply appreciated and very fruitful. The officer, moving from cot to cot discovers the desires of the wounded boys and jots them down in a notebook. Before the day is over she returns, bearing with her for distribution the articles noted in her well-filled book. The gratitude expressed by multitudes of boys is most pathetic. Somewhat to the surprise of the officers, the first men of the force made known their desire for meetings such Salvation Army 221 as the Salvation Army usually conducts. In response to this desire several meetings are held each week at each center, when the results for which the Army particularly labors come in gratifying measure. The officers have become counselors in most intimate and personal mat- ters with many hundreds of the boys and the elder women have frequently performed the functions of the foster- mother to discouraged and disappointed young men. The discipline and order and the particular training along practical and helpful lines of service peculiarly equip the officers for the great variety of work demanded of them in France. Only a very small proportion of the workers the Army sent to France or employed in the United States were other than Salvationists. The work in the United States has been in no manner in competition with that of any other organization. It is inside the borders of none of the camps or cantonments. There the leisure time of the men is closely supervised by the authorities. Any element of danger there is supervenes when the soldier has left the camp and feels that he is in some measure free to follow the lead of his desires. The Army huts are outside the cantonments and its hostels and reading rooms are in the nearby towns, where large companies of soldiers at leisure congregate and there is no restraining spirit. These huts, hostels and reading rooms have become so popular that annexes have had to be secured or built for several of them. Officers, especially chosen for the work, meet every transport which arrives at New York and other Atlantic ports, when they distribute chocolate and candies, post cards and telegraph blanks. They receive the telegrams and send them without cost to the soldiers. An average of about 12,000 messages are thus sent monthly. The principles and motives back of the Army's work 222 Salvation Army are: the desire to become universally helpful to the soldiers, bringing the wholesome spirit of home to the boys in small and homely ways; profound concern for the morals of the boys that they might return clean and untarnished; hunger for the souls of men, which is the primary impulse of the Salvation Army. The Army would bring the boys into contact with the Heavenly Father, by faith and prayer and renunciation of sin, and so present them to Him pure and unsullied in body, mind and spirit. The Salvation Army was so earnest in its concern for the moral and religious welfare of the soldiers and sailors that it was prepared to throw the entire force of the organization in this country into this effort. In carrying out its work the American Branch of the Salvation Army* maintained 500 officers, helpers and employees in France, 200 officers and employees at can- tonments and hostels in the United States and on war work at headquarters; 60 huts with American Expedi- tionary Forces in France, 50 huts and hostels at or near cantonments in the United States and 95 rest and reading rooms for soldiers and sailors in the United States. It gave 5 men to serve as chaplains under Government commission. It supplied 25 ambulances for Government service. Salvation Army officers visit 40 naval and military camps, conducting services at many of them. It has had 250 War Service Leagues in operation (affiliated with the American Red Cross), through which 33,000 bandages and other articles have been prepared, 41,000 garments made or knitted (sweaters, mufflers, helmets, socks and wristlets, hospital shirts, etc.), and 2,500 comfort kits supplied. *It should be remembered that the British Salvation Army was also very active and the two branches divided the field between them. Many American soldiers were consequently cared for by the British Branch. War and Religious Outlook 223 COMMITTEE ON THE WAR AND THE RELIGIOUS OUTLOOK 105 East 22d Street, New York City Brown, Rev.

The problems of reconstruction, however, now con- fronting the Church, are no less challenging and urgent than those of the war. It is almost the unanimous judgment of thoughtful people that there has never been a time in our generation when the Church has been face to face with so great a duty and responsi- bility. Labor parties, social service movements, educa- 224 War and Religious Outlook tional institutions, business and other interests are all facing the new problems with intense seriousness. Many of them have already given matured conclusions as to what they judge the present situation demands. What of the Church in such a day? What part is it to play among the many influences making for the better world, for the sake of which the war was fought? Forttmately, the need for making a thorough study of the state of religion after the war was recognized while the war was still in progress. In Great Britain no less than nine different committees and commissions were appointed to deal with various phases of the religious and moral situation in the light of the war. In this country an interdenominational body known as the Committee on the War and the Religious Outlook was constituted by the joint action of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America and the General War-Time Com- mission of the Churches. Upon this Committee was laid the responsibility of considering the religious and social situation as revealed by the war and as affected by it, with a view to making a constructive report as to the new opportunity and duty of the Church. The various aspects of the Committee's field of study have to do with problems of the largest significance for the future of the Church. One of its special interests concerns the religious outlook as revealed by the study of religion in the Army. The men in the Army constituted a cross section of our average American life. What did a study of religion in the Army reveal as to the extent to which the Church had succeeded or failed hitherto? What effect has the war had upon the religious life and thought of the men in the Army and upon their attitude toward the Church? In the light of the situation thus revealed or produced by the war are there lessons which War and Religious Outlook 225 the churches need to learn along the lines of education, worship, preaching, evangelism, church administration or cooperation? Of no less potential significance is the Committee's study of the relation of the Church to social problems facing us after the war. What is the attitude of labor and the churches to each other? What fundamental principles has the Church to contribute to the solution of industrial problems? In what practical ways can she bring her principles to bear on the present situation? Other special fields of investigation have to do with the effect of the war upon the experience, activity and organization of the home church, the missionary outlook in the light of the war, the effect of the war on the religious work and problems of women, and religious education in the light of the new situation. The body of information and conclusions reached by the Committee are to be submitted to the churches in the form of comprehensive reports. It is expected that these will all appear before the end of 1919. In view of the fact that there is so strong a need expressed by ministers and other religious workers throughout the country for present guidance on many problems, the Committee is now issuing a series of pamphlets under the general heading, "The Religious Outlook." They will deal with such significant subjects as "The Religious Outlook in the Light of the War," "The Church Fac- ing the Future," "The Church's Message to the Nation," "Christian Principles Essential to a New World Order," "Christian Principles of Social Reconstruction," "Chris- tian Aspects of Economic Reconstruction," "Christian Cooperation," "Foreign Missions in the New Age," "Home Missions in the New Age," and other topics. A comprehensive bibliography of the war and religion 226 War and Religious Outlook has been in process of preparation for nearly a year and is now being published. Its scope is indicated by the subjects of some of the subdivisions: "The Religious Experience of the Soldier," "The Nature and Function of the Church, in Light of the War," "Christianity and War," "Christian Belief as Affected by the War," "Christi- anity and International Problems," and "Christianity and Social Problems Emphasized by the War."

Immediately upon the declaration of war, the Govern- ment recognized the Young Men's Christian Association as an agency for work with and for the men in the Service of the United States Government. As the first step, the Cooperating Committee of the Churches was organized to plan a religious work program. The International Committee then proceeded to organize the National War Work Council to take over the general direction of the war work. The activities have been educational, recrea- tional, physical, social and religious. They have been carried on in 333 camps, posts, and naval stations in, the United States, and in 1,680 centers in France. In addition to this, similar work has been done with the troops of Belgitam, Russia, Italy and Poland, and with the Allied troops in Mesopotamia. Besides the work in camps and naval stations, Association secretaries have accompanied troop trains to and from camps, transports to and from overseas, and the battle ships in their work of policing the seas. The work in the camps has been carried on largely in huts, of which 863 have been erected in the United States at an expense of over $5,000,000. In the warring coun- tries, dugouts and extemporized quarters of many descrip- tions have been used. A fully equipped hut is manned by a general secretary and five helpers, one of whom is a religious work secretary. The individual secretary who mans the smaller hut is responsible for reUgious as well 232 War Work Council, Y. M. C. A. as other activities. Religious services are held on Sunday and on one week night in addition. Moving pictures, musical entertainments, lectures, athletics, games and stunts have ordinarily provided entertainment on the other evenings of the week. The supply of many small conveniences, such as writing material, wrapping paper, string and stamps, has been no small factor in the work. The bare figures representing the quantities of these and athletic materials used in the huts are beyond compre- hension. The aim has been to keep the spirit of these welfare activities at all times in perfect harmony with the ideals of wholesome, virile. Christian character which is presented at the religious services, and to make good fighting men out of our soldiers. The personnel has been recruited from men in many walks of life including ministers. Association secretaries, lawyers, business men and tradesmen who have shown special adaptation and willingness to serve. In the vast majority of cases, men have served for much less salary than in peace pursuits, and a large percentage entirely without pay. The usual salary of a camp worker ranged from $100 to $200 per month. The total number of men recruited for work at home and overseas is over 12,000, of whom 3,000 were ministers, and 1,300 "Y" secretaries. Hundreds of pastors from the largest and strongest churches served in the camps, having been allowed leave of absence for this work. Others resigned their parishes and accepted work for the period of the war. It is these ministers who have been largely responsible for the religious work of the camps as conducted by the Association. The system of geographical military departments has been followed in the "Y" organization. Each of the six departments has a religious work director, responsible War Work Council, Y. M. C. A. 233 for the religious work of that department. At the head of these, in an advisory and counselling capacity, is the Religious Work Bureau, which, through its staff, co- operates in every phase of religious work which is carried on with the men in uniform. This Bureau does not function overseas, though, through occasional visits of members of its staff and Bureau members, it has endeav- ored to keep in touch with this work and to render counsel where possible. The Bureau has sent into the camps for speaking pur- poses more than 500 ministers and evangelists besides those which the Departments have used on their own responsibility. Many of these are the ablest pulpit and platform men in America and nearly all have given their time gratis to this service. Figures may mean little or much, but daily reports that come from the huts show that 134,513 religious meetings with an average attendance of 161 have been held — in all, a total attendance of 21,693,366. Secretaries have addressed about one-third of these, chaplains another third, and visiting speakers the remainder. The cooperation between chaplains and "Y" workers has, for the most part, been fraternal and efficient and huts have universally been placed at the disposal of the chaplains for such services as they desired. Camp pastors have also been welcomed in the buildings and have been used in a large way in the religious meet- ings. The status of religious work secretaries in the camps as fixed by the War Department has been that of laymen privileged to do all religious work with the ex- ception of administering the ecclesiastical functions of the churches. These are administered only with the per- mission and on invitation of the authorized representa- tives of the churches and of the Government, namely, the chaplains. 234 War Work Council, Y. M. C. A. The method used for recording the Christian decisions in the camps has been the War Roll Card, a method which is similar to that previously used in the British Army. There had been received up to April 19, 1919, 340,115 signed War Roll Cards. The signers of these are followed up with personal letters from the Bureau. Their pastors and near relatives are also corresponded with. More than half of these cards represent new decisions made in the camps through the influence of the religious work of the secretaries, camp pastors and chaplains. These signers are often used as nuclei for the organi- zation of Bible classes and other discussion groups. Bible study has been carried on as part of the religious work program. Five special courses for soldiers and sailors have been issued in editions amounting to 1,424,000. Other courses such as Fosdick's "The Manhood of the Master" and Rauschenbusch's "Social Principles of Jesus" have also found a place in the Bible study work. Duang the war, 104,448 Bible class sessions were held in the camps of the United States with a total attendance of three million, an average attendance of 29 persons. Soldier and officer leaders have been used to some extent in certain camps. Lay leaders from neighboring com- munities have been extensively called upon. These classes have been held in the huts, in barracks, mess shacks and tents. The percentage actually attending Bible classes each week has varied in the different camps from one per cent to fifty per cent depending on the nature of the camp personnel, of the uniformed men and the religious strength of the Y. M. C. A. work. The Bureau has supervised and instituted the publica- tion and distribution of religious literature for the soldiers and sailors. More than 75 different leaflets and booklets have been published, aggregating 15,000,000 copies. War Work Council, Y. M. C. A. 235 The American Bible Society donated 1,100,000 New Testaments and there have been published 3,384,437, making a total of 4,484,437 New Testaments received, ordered and distributed among the Army and Navy since the beginning of the War, besides 2,024,546 Scripture portions. The soldiers' appetite for good religious litera- ture has at no time been satisfied, as it has been impos- sible to keep pace with the demand. Early in the war the Bureau saw the value of community singing in the camps and huts. More than 200 song lead- ers for the home camps and overseas were trained in the five training schools set up for this purpose. A song book for the use of the soldiers and sailors, edited by President Clarence A. Barbour, was pubhshed by the Association and, later on, several song books containing popular and patriotic airs were printed for the special use of the song leaders. Not only has this contributed largely to the religious work of the Association, but the Bureau is proud also to have had some part in the creation of a singing Army. In December, 1918, the Bureau began, in cooperation with the General War-Time Commission of the Churches and the Continuation Committee of the Cambridge Conference of Theological Schools, an active campaign of recruiting for Christian work. Eighteen pamphlets on the subject of "Life Callings" have been published for use among the enlisted men. Posters, stereopticon lectures, addresses and interviews have been systematically used to bring home to the soldiers the great appeal of the specialized callings for Christian work. In connection with this work, in' view of the demobilization and the return to peace, addresses and lectures on "Citizenship" are promoted in cooperation with the morale officers of the various camps. 236 War Work Council, Y. M. C. A. The Bureau, through conferences with the department religious work directors, through the regular Fort- nightly Letter, through the training schools in the vari- ous departments and through its traveling secretaries who have held camp and district conferences, has been enabled so to standardize the religious work that there has been a great measure of imity and harmony in its methods, program and ideals. The Btu-eau beginning with a staff of three men and two stenographers grew to one of fifteen men and over fifty clerical employees. Its relations with the General War-Time Commission of the Churches and the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America have been at all times those of com- radeship and cooperation both in the camps and in the administration of the work.

Kramer, Rev. Howard A. The Interdenominational Young People's Commission was organized by representatives of evangelical denomi- national and interdenominational agencies promoting yomig people's work through yotmg people's societies, in the belief that the aims of these agencies are funda- mentally the same and that a united effort to reach, hold, instruct, inspire and train young people for vital, aggressive, spiritual Church leadership through young 238 Young People's Commission people's societies would contribute constructively to the accomplishment of these aims. Organization was effected early in 1918, thirty-one denominations and one interdenominational agency — the United Society of Christian Endeavor — ^being represented. Several special pieces of patriotic work were undertaken by the Commission. The first was the recommendation to its members of a special program of war-time work and organization for yotmg people's societies, to be issued individually by each agency but based on the same gen- eral outline, embodying as its main featxires: work for the church's own enlisted men, Red Cross work, work for soldiers and sailors in neighboring camps and canton- ments, and "maintaining the home base." A number of agencies having membership in the Commission adopted this recommendation with enthusiasm, and issued the special programs. A second task was the cooperation with the American Red Cross in the preparation and distribution of a special booklet entitled: "This Side the Trenches with the American Red Cross." The booklet was prepared as a textbook for study classes in young people's societies or for home reading and study, for the purpose of enlighten- ing and interesting young people in that phase of the work of the Red Cross centering in civilian relief and home service. The American Red Cross met the cost of prepara- tion and printing of the handbook, while the individual agencies met the cost of distribution to local societies. Several hundred thousand copies of the booklet were so distributed. Cooperating with the General War-Time Commission of the Churches, the Interdenominational Young People's Commission joined in the sending of a memorial to Congress on the importance of prohibition as a war-time measure.

A. were its religious program of Bible and mission study for all its membership; its summer camps and conferences; its housing, boarding-home and employment btu-eaus; its cafeterias, gymnasituns, recreation clubs, educational classes and social events. In its organization it included sections on finance, economics, social morality, girls' work, the finding and training of workers, work among colored women and girls, among women in industry and among women foreign-bom. It had in its employ a large staff of trained workers and secretaries, many of whom were specialists in their particular fields. The Association had established its work in cities, towns, colleges, and in the country throughout the land. When war came, Army and Navy camps were located in all these types of communities, and it was natural that the public should turn to the Y. W. C. A., with its wide-spread organization and program of work for women and girls, to help meet the many emergencies that then arose. War 244 War Work Council, Y. W. C. A. work demanded a large staff of trained workers and the Y. W. C. A. placed practically its entire staff at the service of women and girls in war emergencies, retaining in its regular work the minimum number of experienced workers to insure those foundations without which the war work could not be maintained. The first call of war upon the Y. W. C. A. resources was a request from the Government to build and operate "hostess houses" in Army and Navy camps, for the com- fort of the women relatives and friends of the enlisted men. The economic and finance departments at once sent on their specialists, and during the period of the war 122 such houses were opened in the camps. City Associations were later called upon to maintain metropolitan hostess houses; field and national committees were urged to build up work for women and girls in cities and towns not hitherto organized; county Associations have been busy organizing clubs for girls and girl reserves in communities adjacent to camps; college Associations took up the care of women relatives and friends of the Student Army Training Corps, and the wide experience of the Committee on Housing for Girls was utilized in the building of emergency houses for girls in Government employ not provided with suitable living quarters. Federations of industrial clubs existed in many cities prior to the war. The making of war supplies called mil- lions of girls to Government service in the production of war supplies for the Armies overseas. An army of women equal in number to that of the men in khald needed care, and the Y. W. C. A. was summoned to look after the morale of girls in certain of the Government industrial plants. This work may be said to have but just begun, and though the making of war supplies will happily cease, War Work Council, Y. W. C. A. 245 the turnover of labor, the adapting of this army of girls to the making of peace-time necessities and the read- justment in labor that follow the return of the men laborers from the war will necessitate constant care. Colored women, too, had a call to industry, and for them the situation was a wholly unfamiliar one. In industrial centers, in camp communities, everything is being done by the Y. W. C. A. for the colored woman that is done for the white woman. In camps where colored troops are stationed, hostess houses have been provided for the colored women. Foreign-bom women in the United States have carried a heavy war burden. They have been sorely perplexed by war-time conditions. The Y. W. C. A. provides trans- lations, interpreters, home visitors, camp workers and literature for the women of foreign birth. Among the great, vexing problems of war are those arising from disturbed and newly created social relation- ships between men and women. The Commission on Social Morality has been renamed "The Committee on Social Education," and women physicians are lecturing and studying to give to the mothers and daughters of the United States a program of health and sound social standards, fitted alike to times of peace and times of war. The young girl, whose patriotism was so kindled during the war, has given a ready response to a program of social service and self-development for the sake of a better nation. The Girls' Reserves, an organization of the Y. W. C. A. for girls of the 'teen age, has grown rapidly. On the other side of the Atlantic the women of France have borne bravely their part — a part which ultimately made victory possible. The American Y. W. C. A. was honored by a call from France to help not only the Ameri- can women war workers in that land, but the French -J 246 War Work Comcih Y. W. C. A. women war workers also. Foyers and cafeterias, recrea- tion centers and clubs for munition workers and for Gov- ernment employees are now established in many centers for French women. For the American women in France there are hostess houses and boarding-homes, and for American nurses, clubs at the base hospitals. Work for Russian women, similar to that done with French women, though of more limited extent, has been begun and carried forward despite recurrent revolutions. Thus every phase of Y. W. C. A. work has been quick- ened. In communities remote from war centers, as well as in those more nearly concerned, the membership has been faithfully supporting the great national war task of the Association. The two war ftmds, one of $5,000,000 and one of $18,167,100 owe their being to the interest and work of practically every member of the organiza- tion. Reconstruction is now the note of the hour. For the Young Women's Christian Association reconstruction means an adjustment and still further expansion of the program made possible through the revealing conditions of the war.
