To the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America,
In session at Washington, May 8-9, 1917.
Brethren: —
The new Commission on Christian Education of the Federal Council
of the Churches of Christ in America is called to meet for organiza
tion in New York, Friday, May 11, 1917. At this critical hour in
the world's history we realize the vital importance of religious educa-
13

tion in any program of reorganization and reconstruction that may
follow the present awful tragedy of world-wide ruin.
With a deep sense of the magnitude of the task confronting
united Christendom, and conscious of our dependence upon Divine
guidance, we confidently believe that the Commission on Christian
Education will seriously undertake its proper share of the responsi
bility devolving upon the Federal Council as it devotes itself to the
ministry of consolation and to the re-establishment of the Christian
faith and the sense of brotherhood in the hearts of all men.
The world democracy which we believe is to result from this world
struggle must be rooted and grounded in the teachings of Jesus and
the New Testament, as Interpreted and exemplified in the democratic
fellowship and co-operative unity of Christian believers. The realiza
tion of this hope demands a world-wide program of Christian Educa
tion challenging the wisdom and the statesmanship of a united Chris
tianity. With cordial and fraternal regard.
On behalf of the Commission on Christian Education,
Faithfully yours,
(Signed) HENRY H. MEYER, Secretary.

The following report urging the imperative necessity of the prohibi
tion of the liquor traffic for the period of the war was adopted:
"The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, offi
cially representing thirty denominations, with a communicant member
ship of more than eighteen million, in special session assembled,
desires to record its conviction that the immediate prohibition of the
liquor traffic as a war measure is essential to the conservation of the
economic resources and latent power of the Nation.
"Five eminent economists estimate, on the basis of the latest posi
tive figures available, that seven billion (7,000,000,000) pounds of food
materials are annually used in the production of fermented liquors and
distilled spirits. Two university professors of physiology estimate that,
eliminating the amount necessary for the production of denatured alco
hol, the fuel value of the remainder would supply the energy require
ment of seven million (7,000,000) for a year. The Brewers' Year Book
declares that it requires the toil of seventy-five thousand (75,000)
farmers for six months to furnish these foodstuffs. If the labor of these
men could be used for food instead of liquor it would measurably re
lieve the situation produced by the present scarcity of food.
"There are employed in the manufacture of liquor 62,920 wage-
earners. These men are needed in legitimate industry, and they should
be transferred to such occupations as will make their labor a blessing
to the people, instead of a curse.
"In the face of the Nation's need to conserve all its man power and
«very bit of its foodstuff, we urge the imperative necessity of at ones
15

stopping this waste of them in a traffic whose destructive effects upon
the national life and well-being are generally acknowledged.
"These economic considerations increase the moral and religious
conviction with which the churches urge the abolition of the liquor
traffic." It was
VOTED: To adjourn.
The benediction was pronounced by Rev. George Elliott.
Session of Wednesday, May 9, 10:00 A.M.
President Frank Mason North presiding.
The service of worship was conducted by Miss Louise Holmquist.
A report of the Committee on the Celebration of the Quadricenten-
nial of the Protestant Reformation was presented by Rev. Howard R.
Gold, the Secretary of the Committee.
It was
VOTED: To receive the report, which was as follows:
Report of Special Committee on the Celebration of the Quadricentennlal
of the Protestant Reformation
The purpose of your Committee is to coordinate or parallel as much
as possible the plans and activities of the committees on celebration
appointed by the constituent bodies of the Council. Many of the
bodies have such committees at work and, where the denomination as
such is not developing extended plans, boards and societies are taking
up the observance in their own spheres.
The most active committees are those of the Lutheran, Presby
terian and Reformed bodies, and some of the larger memorial under
takings are the raising of a Jubilee fund of $10,000,000 by the Luther
ans, the placing of a Bible Chair in each Presbyterian College, and the
erection of the $100,000 Schaff Memorial Building in Philadelphia by
the Reformed Church in the U. S., which is also raising a Jubilee fund
of $1,000,000 for education.
These and other committees are producing literature, lectures,
medals, pageants, music, programs, conducting study and lecture
courses, and are giving attention to publicity. The Boards of Educa
tion are planning for the observance in their colleges and the state and
private universities will do the same.
Interdenominational agencies are recognizing the anniversary. The
American Bible Society, the World's Sunday School Association, the
United Society of Christian Endeavor, the Council of Women for Home
Missions, many Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associa
tions and others will participate.
The religious press has already given considerable attention in
anticipation of the anniversary and numerous papers are now plan
ning special Luther and Reformation numbers. The American Lu
theran Survey Is carrying a series of articles by leading Reformation
scholars of America, among whom are Professors Walker, Emerton,
Jacobs, Schaff, Harvey, Rockwell, Monroe, and Preserved Smith.
Many great meetings have already been held and much literature
has been distributed and read, but all activities will culminate in
October, on or near the 31st, the day when Luther posted the theses.
The prospect is that all Protestant churches and Sunday schools and
all other organizations/ will devote at least Sunday, October 28th, to
this 400th anniversary. 16

The public press, under the conditions of the hour, when much
news material crowds for the columns, will not assist as largely as it
would under other circumstances, but we are gratified with the recog
nition already given.
Most of the Summer conferences will recognize the anniversary on
their programs and steps are taken to accord such recognition at all
assemblies. A word about the timeliness of the celebration. This will be seen
best in the light of i the purpose and spirit. Realizing the possibility
of becoming involved in controversy and giving a negative tone to the
anniversary, the Joint Lutheran Committee has urged from the begin
ning a non-controversial but a positive and constructive celebration.
Their purpose is phrased in this slogan:
"To celebrate the Reformation of the Sixteenth Century and to
hasten the Transformation of the Twentieth."
The purpose is a review and a reapplication of the principles of the
sixteenth century, which were only those of the first, rediscovered.
This is endorsed by your Committee.
Justification by faith, the responsibility of the individual conscience,
the right of private judgment, freedom of research and freedom of
speech — these are the principles won for us by the sixteenth century
Reformers. The open Bible, popular education, civil and religious
liberty and our free institutions are the products we, especially in
America, enjoy to-day.
Your Committee would ask you to recognize whence these come in
your own utterances during this year and through the organizations
you represent. We value these possessions and it seems that now we
as a nation are called upon to defend them and to extend them for
ourselves and for others.
In two messages to the churches we have been called upon to hold
in trust the principles which are the special care of Protestantism, and
to associate ourselves with the suffering men and women of Europe.
It seems to me that we would gain strength for the task by cultivating
anew fellowship with the heroes and martyrs of the sixteenth century,
who were our first great democratic Christian leaders. Our President
has already acknowledged this near kinship. Luther's great speech at
Worms, in April, 1521, closed thus: "Here I stand. I cannot do other
wise, God help me." President Wilson's momentous address of April,
1917, ended in the language of Luther: "God Helping Her, she can do
no other." Rev. Daniel A. Poling reported the plans of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor.
Rev. Paul DeSchweinitz, Chairman of the Conference of Foreign
Mission Boards of North America, presented the plans of that body.
President North announced the appointment of President William
H. P. Faunce as Chairman of the Commission on International Justice
and Good-will.
Fred B. Smith reported the plans of the Inter-Church Federation
Congress to be held In Pittsburgh from October 1 to 4, 1917.

chienne, the Minister from Belgium, to attend the meeting of the
Council. 17

The service of worship was conducted by Rev. Edwin Heyl Delk.
The minutes of the sessions of Tuesday morning, afternoon and
evening were read and approved.
The following statement was presented by Rev. Roy B. Guild,
Secretary of the General Committee, and was adopted:
"When the State compels men to military service, it raises
the ancient religious question of freedom of conscience.
Churches who have furnished martyrs for this principle are
under particular obligation to see that the conscientious ob
jector is allowed such noncombatant service as does not violate
his conscience. We, therefore, request the Administrative Com
mittee carefully to consider what practical steps can be taken
to secure this end."
The General Secretary presented Ernest P. Bicknell, of the Amer
ican National Red Cross, who addressed the Council on the work of
the organization.
Rev. Worth M. Tippy spoke upon the subject,
18

President North presented to the Council Baron de Cartier de
Marchienne, Minister from Belgium, who addressed the Council, ex
pressing gratitude for what the churches of America have done for
Belgium at this crisis of her history. President North made a fitting
response. Rev. John Henry Jowett preached the Council sermon.

The Duty of the Church
in this
Hour of National Need

A Message from the
jfeoeral Council of tfje Cfmrcije* of Cftrfet
tn America
IN SPECIAL SESSION ASSEMBLED IN WASHINGTON, D. C.
May 8 and 9, 1917

I. OUR SPIRIT AND PURPOSE
After long patience, and with a solemn sense of responsibility, the
government of the United States has been forced to recognize that a
state of war exists between this country and Germany, and the President
has called upon all the people for their loyal support and their whole
hearted allegiance. As American citizens, members of Christian
Churches gathered in Federal Council, we are here to pledge both
support and allegiance in unstinted measure.
We are Christians as well as citizens. Upon us therefore rests a
double responsibility. We owe it to our country to maintain intact
and to transmit unimpaired to our descendants our heritage of free-
22

dom and democracy. Above and beyond this, we must be loyal to our
divine Lord, who gave His life that the world might be redeemed,
and whose loving purpose embraces every man and every nation.
As citizens of a peace-loving nation, we abhor war. We have long
Btriven to secure the judicial settlement of all international disputes.
But since, in spite of every effort, war has come, we are grateful that
the ends to which we are committed are such as we can approve.
To vindicate the principles of righteousness and the inviolability of
faith as between nation and nation; to safeguard the right of all the
peoples, great and small alike, to live their life in freedom and peace;
to resist and overcome the forces that would prevent the union of the
nations in a commonwealth of free peoples conscious of unity in the
pursuit of ideal ends — these are aims for which every one of us may
lay down his all, even life itself.
We enter the war without haste or passion, not for private or
national gain, with no hatred nor bitterness against those with whom
we contend. No man can foresee the issue of the struggle. It will call for all
the strength and heroism of which the nation is capable. What now
is the mission of the church in this hour of crisis and danger? It is
to bring all that is done or planned in the nation's name to the test of
the mind of Christ.
That mind upon one point we do not all Interpret alike. With
sincere conviction some of us believe that it is forbidden the disciple
of Christ to engage in war under any circumstances. Most of us
believe that the love of all men which Christ enjoins, demands that
we defend with all the power given us the sacred rights of humanity.
But we are all at one in loyalty to our country, and in steadfast and
wholehearted devotion to her service.
As members of the church of Christ, the hour lays upon us special
duties: To purge our own hearts clean of arrogance and selfishness;
To steady and inspire the nation;
To keep ever before the eyes of ourselves and of our allies the ends
for which we fight;
To hold our own nation true to its professed aims of justice, liberty
and brotherhood;
To testify to our fellow-Christians in every land, most of all to
those from whom for the time we are estranged, our consciousness of
unbroken unity in Christ;
To unite in the fellowship of service multitudes who love their
enemies and are ready to join with them in rebuilding the waste places
as soon as peace shall come;
To be diligent in works of relief and mercy, not forgetting those
ministries to the spirit to which, as Christians, we are specially com
mitted; To keep alive the spirit of prayer, that in these times of strain and
sorrow men may be sustained by the consciousness of the presence
and power of God;
To hearten those who go to the front, and to comfort their loved
ones at home;
To care for the welfare of our young men in the army and navy,
that they may be fortified in character and made strong to resist
temptation; To be vigilant against every attempt to arouse the> spirit of ven
geance and unjust suspicion toward those of foreign birth or sym
pathies; To protect the rights of conscience against every attempt to invade
them; 23

To maintain our Christian institutions and activities unimpaired,
the observance of the Lord's Day and the study of the Holy Scriptures,
that the soul of our nation may be nourished and renewed through the
worship and service of Almighty God;
To guard the gains of education, and of social progress and eco~
nomlc freedom, won at so great a cost, and to make full use of the
occasion to set them still further forward, even by and through the war;
To keep the open mind and the forward look, that the lessons
learned In war may not be forgotten when comes that just and sacred
peace' for which we pray;
Above all, to call men everywhere to new obedience to the will of
our Father God, who in Christ has given Himself in supreme self-
sacrifice for the redemption of the world, and who invites us to share
with Him His ministry of reconciliation.
To such service we would summon our fellow-Christians of every
name. In this spirit we would dedicate ourselves and all that we have
to the nation's cause. With this hope we would join hands with all
men of good-will of every land and race, to rebuild on this war-ridden
and desolated earth the commonwealth of mankind, and to make of the
kingdoms of the world the Kingdom of the Christ.

II. OUR PRACTICAL DUTIES
ARMY AND NAVY
For the moral and spiritual welfare of the army and navy the
churches are in chief measure responsible. They should therefore
cultivate a close relationship to the army and navy chaplains who are
the accredited ministers of the churches and should dignify and
strengthen their service. They should cordially sustain and reinforce
the work of the Young Men's Christian Association, which is an espe
cially equipped and well-tried arm of the church for ministering to
men in the camp. They should also sympathetically support the plans
of the American Bible Society to make the Scriptures available for
every soldier and sailor of the army and navy.
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC
In this time of crisis the Federal Council urges the churches to use
their utmost endeavors to secure national prohibition as a war meas
ure, demanded alike by economic, moral and religious considerations.
The liquor traffic consumed last year foodstuffs sufficient to feed
7,000,000 men for a year, required the toil of 75,000 farmers for six
months to furnish these foodstuffs, engaged 62,920 wage-earners needed
in legitimate industry and exacted a heavy toll of life. The nation
cannot afford this economic and moral waste.
THE SOCIAL EVIL
War Increases lust and its deadly consequences. The efforts of the
government, of the Federal Council and of the Young Men's Christian
Association to prevent its development in mobilization camps will not
fully succeed unless the nearby churches and allied organizations see
that vice and liquor are repressed in their communities and unless they
assist in providing wholesome social and recreational activities for the
men. All the churches will need to watch lest the excitement and
strain of the hour lower the sex standards of the community.
RELD3F WORK
The Increased suffering of war time demands increased gifts and
service. The churches should organize themselves to strengthen the
24

American Red Cross by membership and the preparation of supplies,
to care in friendship for all the needs of the families of men in national
service, to increase their gifts to foreign war relief and to those Euro
pean religious bodies which the Federal Council is already assisting.
CHILD WELFARE
To meet the depletion of war the vitality of the rising generation
needs to be conserved and developed. It is more important than ever
for the churches to aid in removing the community conditions that
make for defective lives, and in securing sound measures of health
and sanitation, of housing and nourishment, of recreation and educa
tion. The mobilization of youth for increased food production affords
a starting point for permanent community provision for the recrea
tional and vocational needs of young people.
INCREASED PRODUCTION OF FOOD
The world is short of food. The safety of the nation and the out
come of the war depend largely upon our ability to increase the crops.
This is an urgent national duty. The suburban and rural churches
may well call the people together to consider community plans to
this end.
PREVENTION OF WASTE
In face of the world need, extravagance and luxury are criminal,
but productive business should be maintained at its fullest possible
capacity. The simple life, which is a permanent obligation for the
followers of Jesus, becomes in this emergency an Imperative necessity.
The women of the churches may well get together to consider and rec
ommend sound economies In food and clothing.
INDUSTRIAL STANDARDS
The labor power of the nation must be conserved or the needed
increase in production cannot be secured, as England has discovered.
The industrial standards set up by the Federal Council and its con
stituent bodies must be maintained. All cases of seven-day work, of
lengthened working day, of the employment of children and young
people under sixteen, or of women in the new hazardous industries.
should at once be reported to local authorities or to the National
Council of Defense.
JUSTICE IN DISTRIBUTION
The churches should stimulate the community conscience to demand
that all speculation in the necessities of life be eliminated, that all
attempts to secure unjust profits be checked and that the hoarding of
food-stuffs be prevented. Government action to this end should be
heartily supported.
THE COST OF WAR
The burden of war cost must be evenly distributed. The principle
of universal service has been applied to life in the raising of troops.
It should therefore be applied in the same manner to wealth and ability.
SAFEGUARDING DEMOCRACY
If we are to advance democracy throughout the earth we must first
exemplify it in the nation. It must not be denied, either in industry
or in government. Even in the strain of war, the abuse of free
speech is not so dangerous as its suppression, and nothing should be
25

permitted to destroy the dearly bought right of freedom of conscience.
One of the patriotic duties of the Christian pulpit is continuously to
develop In the people the determination that this war shall end in
nothing less than such a constructive peace as shall be the beginning
of a world democracy.
