It is expressly stated by the heads Of
the conference that, while united action
in regard TO spreading Christianity is
desired and sought, ''the conference does
not propose to deal in any way with
the grounds of division among Chris
tians, nor is II constituted in a way
that would make II competent to do
So" It is asserted, however, thaS in
many indirect ways II may promote
TACTICAL cooperation, so far as this is
possible without he surrender OF con-
scientious principle and may prepare
the way for larger and more compre-
hensive unity and especially that seme
means may be found after the confer
ence is over OF maintaining and
Strengthening the intimate relations into
which missionary societies throughout
the world have been brought through
the conference and OF continuing the
attempt to view the whole fact Of Chris
tianity In relation 20 the whole fact OF
the non-Christian world"
In writing OF the conference in a
characteristic article entitled "a Call
to Consider Seriously Our Divisions"
Admiral Mahan says:
'Christendom at present is engaged
IN and purposes still further TO press a
holy war, g war Of offense. of spiritual
conquest, for the extension Of the king
dom of God, and Christendom at the
same time is afflicted at home by
state Of division which renders its &C
ton at best that Of an alliance, with
the historical weakness therein inner
ing, rather than that OF q single united
nation, concentrated in force as in OBJ
ject. The onset consequently is not in
mass, but, as IL were, in disconnected
assaults aiming at the same results,
but lacking in that reasoned combina-
ton OF effort by which many attacks
become essentially one. This is the
wide difference between the blow OF a
single great projectile and Of several
smaller of the same aggregate weight
the difference between a shock ana an
earthquake. The smaller are likely TO
lack simultaneousness OF impact, and
in concentrated momentum they are
certain to fall short OF the larger"
