and self-sacrifce of Christians of for
mer days. No concessions should be
made to a spirit of retreat, but the
church should be confidently expected
to address itself with new vigor to the
supreme necessities of the hour.
We therefore earnestly hope that
the call of the President for day
of special prayer was observed in
every church and in every Christian
home. that daily meetings for inter.
cession will be held, that union meet
ings will be held and that prayers in
clude the following and subjects:
Subjects For Prayer.
First-That the mind of Christ NAV
so dominate the governments and peo-
pies now at war that a just and last
ing peace may be speedily established
on basis of mutual forhearance and
brotherhood.
Second-That all who are minister
ing to the physical and spiritual needs
of the soldiers-chaplains physicians
and nurses-be given needful grace
and strength.
Third-That the war may not re-
tard the progress of the work of
Christ. but that it may be overruled
in the providence of God, to create
conditions more favorable to the ex.
tension of the Kingdom of our Lord,
and that to this end the church may
be given the larger vision and the sac
rificial spirit.
Fourth-That our people may in
terpret the present opportunity, not
in terms of commercial aggrandize
ment, in those of spiritual obligation
and privilege, that this greatest war
Of the world be made the occasion of
the greatest revival of vital religion. a
revival not limited by natiurar boun-
daries, but including all nations.
Fifth-That we make hunb confes.

our people, and in penitence of hear
seek fuller understanding of the
divine purpose and more consistent
expression of it in our national and
social life.

recent years and which was so DOW

sionary conference in Edinburgh in
1910, be not broken, and that we re-.

Effects of War
Deeper Than Economic

by Southern Missionary News Blu
reau, Ida Clyde Clarke, Editor
The committee of reference and
counsel representing the Foreign Mis-.
sions Conference of North America
has issued an address to the churches
of the United States of America re-
garding the war, as follows:
While Americans are exempt from
the horrors of war, We are painfully
conscious of it's serious effects upon
our entire national life. We are learn.
ing anew that none of us liveth to
himself. Deeper than economic eff
fects are the moral effects 1t is to
be involved in such conflict, entail
ing enormous loss of life and proper
ty, destruction of family and social re-
lationship. and the release of evil pas
sions, without profoundly affecting the
whole race.
The unhappy consequences, tran
scend the boundaries of western ma
tons. The war has extended to Asia,
Africa and the South Sea Islands. Men
OF India, Canada, Africa and Austria,
lasia are fighting in Europe, and ma
lions that are not Immediately in
yolved are feeling the disastrous ef-
fects. Such a war, calamitous at any
time, is doubly so in this era of world
relationships. Whole nations are in
danger of misinterpreting Christian
ity of imas lining that it is represented
by armies and navies rather than by
peace and good will. We venture to
suggest the following considerations
for your thought and prayer:
Churches Should Preserve Neutrality
First. Special heed should be given
to the President of the United States
for the observance of neutrality The
considerations he mentions apply with
special force to churches, which may
be justly expected to exemplify wis
dom and fairness at such a time. So
briefly of speech may we'll character
ize all discussion. Each of the war.
ring nations sincerely believes in the
righteousness of its cause. Partisan
discussion may impair their confidence
in the impartiality of the American
people and imperil that influence
which we ought to exert in promoting
peace
Second Christion people can help
the President, not so much by sending
him suggestions or appeals as by de-
veloping a public sentiment in favor
of injustice and bitterness to perpetu.
ate irritations and render another war
ultimately inevitable. craftsmanship
may make treaties of peace and arbi-
tration, but they will not be effective
unless founded upon a public senti-
ment which demands their enforce.
ment.
Third We should avoid the assump.
ton of superiority, remembering that
Americans have often shown quite as
belligerent a spirit as is now being
witnessed in other lands.
Fourth. The churches should make
clear the distinction between the
teachings of Christ and some of the
characteristics of so-called modern
civilization. A more persistent effort
should be put forth to make the spirit
of Jesus leayen national as well as
individual relationship. Vital Chris
tianity has not failed, but men have
failed to exemplify 1t.

mighty God may rest upon the Presi.
dent of the United States and the
secretary of state in this time of spe.
cial responsibility.
Eighth-That the spirit of Christ
may more thoroughly pervade the life
of nations as well as of individuals:
that national jealousies and suspicious
may be abated; that the pagan and
selfish elements in our civilization
may be eliminated; that all men shall
realize that they are brothers and that
out of the tumult and strife of this
present time, faith may become clear
that the kingdom Of our Lord and of
His Christ.

i Fifth. Emphasis should be laid up
on the necessity of maintaining the
missionary work of the churches at
their full strength. Thousands of
which are directly or indirectly gov
erned by the warning nations. There
is danger that absorption in questions
developed by the war will lead to for
getfulness of the great work which
the churches have been conducting.
That work has been built up through
long series of years. Schools and
hospitals on the foreign field can no
more be closed at such a time than
similar institutions at home. Never
have non-Christian people been so
ready to receive the Gospel A trans
formation of startling magnitude is
taking place. God is summonng his
church to mold the character of the
coming life. 1t is unthinkable that the
church should fail to respond.
Early Missions and War.
While we do not underestimate the
embarrassment which some business
men are experiencing, there are no
reasons to anticipate that the ability
of the American people to maintain
their missionary work has been or is
likely to be seriously impaired. Many
| OF the missionary societies had their
birth during a period of war. Several
of the largest British societies were
founded in the period of the French
revolution and the Napoleonic wars.
The Baptist missionary society of
Great Britain made some of it's most
notable advances during the Crimean
and Boer wars. Some of the strong
est societies in America were formed
in war times.
The foreign missionary work of at
least one of the churches in our south.
ern states was started in the darkest
kdays of the American civil war, and
while the contributions to the north.
ern missionary societies fell off during
the first years of the struggle, they
regained their former standard before
| the war closed, and in some cases ex-
ceeded it.
Without question, American Chris
lions of today can equal the devotion
