has made serious inroads lately among
the people of Scotland, which is the
stronghold of Presbyterians.
Win Many Victories
The committee reports a number
ofvictories in the movement for observ-
ance of the Sabbath, among them the
Sunday closing of the saloons in Chi
cago for the first time in more than
forty years. The committee is also
gratified at the stand many employers
have taken in regard to Sunday work,
and it notes that even in England the
authorities have found it advisable to
ban Sunday work, even in the muni-
ton factories.
One of the most important of the re-
ports is that by the committee on
Church Cooperation and Union which
among other things favor the continu-
ance of the negotiations for the union
of all the churches of the Presbyterian
household in the United States, and
also conferences with the Church of
the Disciples of Christ with a view to
closer relations. In the matter of
evangelization, the question is also
raised whether the hour has not ar
rived for "the Inauguration and pro-
motion of a countrywide movement
of evangelistic endeavor of such a
character as will meet with the appro-
val and appreciation of the united min
istry of our land"
The assemblys approval is also to be
asked of the steps thus far taken in
the movement for the Worlds Con-
ference on Faith and Order proposed
by the Protestant Episcopal Church.

EFFECT OF WAR ON
WORK OF CHURCH
Reveals Strength of Christian
ity, According 10 Reports at
Presbyterian Assembly


Atlantic City, n. j., May 19.-The
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church in the United States in session
on the Steel Pier until Friday. May
&c, is one of the important church
gatherings of the year and the reports
that have been prepared by various
committees for consideration during
the week reflect some of the new
phases of church problems and par
ticularly some OF the effects which the
treat war in Europe has had on church
work.
These reports, compiled in a book Of
200 pages, which were placed in the
hands of the delegates to the assembly
here today, include some optimistic
views as to the effects which the war
), having and will continue to have on
religion. The executive commission
of the Alliance Of the Reformed
Churches throughout the world re-
ports:
Instead of showing the failure of
Christianity, this war has revealed the
strength of Christia nifty, for Christian
iry has been the only bond that has not
snapped because oil this war. Out of
the present conditions in Europe three
facts are emerging that bear on the
religious situation. The first is that
religion over there has become largely
philanthropy. The people have pass
ed from faith to works. All the coun-
tries are full of charitable efforts to
relieve poverty and suffering.
Opportunity for EvangeliZation
THE second pecularity is evangeli-
cation. The 100000 men of the
different armies afford a grand oppor-
tunity for the spread of the gospel.
The 100000 prisoners in Germany,
most of whom are Russians, open a
great field for the evangelization of
Russia, In the camps in the hos
pitfalls. in the prison camps, is an open
door OF hope. tremendous and mighty
hat will affect every church in Eu-
rope.
The third feature is personalness,
that is piety which more than ever has
become a personal thing. The war is
making Europe learn that religion is
personal matter rather than a for

popular strength in Nebraska and
Pennsylvania. The effect of this show
ing has been Immediately visible upon
many of the politicians within and
without Congress"
Refused to Prepare
we, through out representatives at
Washington" said Col. Roosevelt,
have absolutely refused in the small
est degree to prepare during these %
months of world cataclysm. We have
refused to learn the smallest part of
the lesson being written on the scroll
of torment in Europe. We have fatu-
ously refused to take the smallest step,
either to do our duty to ourselves or to
do our duty to others. We have en-
deavored to deceive ourselves by an
nouncing that in this policy of supine
inaction and of failure to perform
duty, we are actuated by the loftiest
motives. l doubt whether we have
really deceived ourselves, and most
certainly we have not deceived others
There is not a nation in the world
which believes that our course of con-
duct has been dictated by anything
save timidity. unworthy shrinking
from effort and responsibility. and
cold and selfish love of money making
and of soft ease.
I'm any serious crisis there are all
ways men who try to carry water on
both shoulders. These men try to
escape the hard necessity of choice be-
tween two necessarily opposite alter
natives by trying to work up some
compromise In actual practice, this
compromise usually proves to combine
with exquisite nicely all the defects
and none OF the advantages of both
courses. 1t is true that in ordinary
times it is essential But there come
great crises when compromise is either
impossible or fatal. This is one of
those crises. There is no use i'm saw
ing that we will fit ourselves to defend
ourselves little, but not much. Such
a position is equivalent to announcing
that, If necessary, we shall hit, but
that we shall only hit soft. The only
right principle is to prepare thorough
ly or not at all. The only right prin-
ciple is to avoid hitting If it is possible
to do so, but never under any circum-
stances to hit soft. To go to war a

lutely certain way to ensure disaster

liminary statement of the general re-
suits OF the census OF manufactures

fore the war"
Call for Americans
After the war, the report points out,
there may be a great call for Ameri-
cans TO take up the continuance OF
English church work on the continent
of Europe, particularly in Germany
and Austria, where prejudice may
initiate against Britishers resuming
their activities.
The divorce evil in America receives
considerable attention by the special
committee on Christian life and work
which points out that the estimated
average of divorces has reached the
twelve marriages, "a showing that is
worse than that of any other civiliza-
ton" I'VE must organize" the COM
mittee says. "as never before, nation
wide campaign of education in behalf
of the welfare of the family and the
home concerning the sacredness of
marriage and evils or divorce" The
same committee discusses the use of
the Bible in the public schools and
the church is urged to work toward
creating a public sentiment that will
favor and even demand such a course.
Depore Sabbath Dissertation
In discussing the observance OF the
Sabbath another committee submits a
lengthy report covering many phases
OF the problem and deplores among
other things that lin our national capi-
tai there are social functions of every
description on the Lords day
Modern inventions as the automo-
bile and motion pictures are cited as
adding a tremendous influence to the
combination of powers already at
work to destroy the old fashioned Sab
bath. Resolutions are proposed in
protest against the operation of NOV
ing picture theaters OH Sunday and
also against the use of public school
buildings on that day. The faculties
OF colleges and seminaries, it is pro-
posed, should also be urged to omit
recitations on Monday mornings so as
to leave the Sabbath free from the felt
necessity of some of the students TO
prepare their lessons on that day. An
other resolution condemns the Sunday
newspaper and points out that Canada,
even in war time, has found that the
Sunday paper is not necessity. In
comment on the working of the Do
minion Lords Day Act, the report
adds that ninety per cent or more OF
the Sunday newspa pers published in
the United States for distribution in
Canada on Sunday had been pushed
back over the line. The report notes
however, that the Sunday newspaper

equally the shame and dishonor. A
foreign foe is the foe of all of us alike.
If in this land the citizens of one ma
tional origin successfully set the fash
ion of influencing this nation to its own
detriment in the interest of the coun-
try from which they originally came,
sooner or later it is absolutely certain
that the citizens of some other nation
al origin will repeat the experiment;
and this country will be left degraded
and helpless among the nations. If
such an event befall us, the bitter
bread of humiliation will be eaten by
all of those who dwell in this land, no
matter what their creed, no matter
what their national origin. 1t will
be eaten by your children and grand
children and great-grandchildren just
as much as by mine.
''Americanism is a matter of the
spirit, not of birthplace or descent.
Among the best Americans / have
ever known, among the men closest
to me in social and political life, are,
and have been, men born i'll, or men
whose fathers were born in, Germany,
Ireland, the Scandinavian Kingdoms,
and other European countries. They

We must so prepare that this country

dren's children of all of US shall live;
and to do this we must so prepare that
we can repel all foreign foes and pre-
serve the inestimabIe right of setting
for ourselves the fate of this mighty
democratic republic. But the es-
sence of this policy of full prepared
ness, which remember is not only mil
itary but that least as much indus

defensive, and is the best possible as

ence to right and wrong" declared
Col Roosevelt. 1T little matters
what our ideals may be and what
achievements we may hope for, if
these ideals and achievements cannot
be reduced to action. The events of
the past and the events of today,
show that national ideals amount to
nothing if the nation lacks the power
to maintain them against opposition.
Therefore, if we are to win at home
against those of our fellow citizens
who believe in the policy Of unpre-
paredness, that is, of national weak
ness and inefficiency, we must have
strong and well seasoned convictions
and express them with strength and
sincerity. A considerable part of the
strength of Mr.. Ford in the primaries,
and of the strength of the advocates
of half-preparedness at Washington,
comes from the fact thatno real alter
native of policy is offered with sin
cerity and fearlessness."
Urges Military Service
In urging universal military SER
vice based on universal training Col.
Roosevelt said he believed in it be-
cause IT would be not only of meal
culable benefit to the nation in the
event Of war, but of incalculable BEN
eft to the individuals undergoing it,
and therefore to the nation, as regards
the work of peace" He continued:
II believe that the dog-tent would
prove most effective agent for demo-
cratizing and Matchmaking our life;
quite as much so as the public school,
and far more than the American fac
tory and the American city as they are
today. Preparedness through univer-
sal service would turn out to be the
best possible school of practical civics.
In such school all men who are
Americans in spirit would get together
and learn to work together so as to
insure cooperation among our people
in social and industrial life Such CO.
operation will secure not merely lib
erty and opportunity, but also the
sense of obligation-which is just as
important as the other two.
Must Abolish Pork Barrel
I'VE must abolish pork barrel meth
ods in the army-as regards army
posts, navy yards, as regards every
thing else. Remember that after pre-
paredness has been accepted by the
country and the necessary funds voted,
the real work will have only begun.
Englands navy represents over three
centuries and Germany'S army over
two centuries of development along an
unbroken line of tradition and progress

first and all important essential is to
divorce the army and navy organiza-
tions absolutely from politics."
