JOHN D. Rockefeller
ADDRESSES Y.M.C.A.
ON ''EVERY-CHR|ST|AN
MAN-AT-WORk
MOVEMENT"
(By Associated Press. }

i Cleveland, o., May 15.-John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., addressed today's ses-
sion of the International Convention
of the Young Mems Christian Associa.
tions of North America, urging a cam
paign to be called "The Every Chris
tian Man at Work Movement"
Multitudes of men whose names ap-
pear on the church roles as Chris
tians are merely marking time, said
Mr.. Rockefeller, like soldiers parad.
ing the streets in dress uniform in
stead of rendering active service like
men in soiled and disheveled khaki
christian manhood, like muscular or
mental power, is only to be main
tanned by its use" he said. 81 call
upon the ministers of this land to
rouse to action that vast horde Of
Christian men enrolled in the church
es but seldom seen in the pews, who
are only waiting for some service
which requires manly qualities in or
der to be again brought into active
relation with the churches. The day
for the preaching of gospel looking
toward the preparation of the indi
Hidual for passage to the skies on
flowerly beds of ease has passed, and
may it never return.
"The inactive army of Christian
men will be drawn into service the
more quickly when they have come
to recognize the brotherhood of man
as a necessary corollary to the faith
erhood Of God. An interesting and
unique argument recently advanced
for compulsory military service In this
country is that the sons OF the well-to-
do families of our communities mighty
thereby be thrown into close contact
with the sons of the working people,
so that the great gap which too often
exists might be bridged and as a re-
suit of daily association In common
tasks these two classes of men
brought to see that the difference be-
tween them is superficial rather than
inherent.
"As we face the great Industrial
problems which are arising daily, it
seems clear that the only hope Of
their permanent and satisfactory So
luton lies in the widespread ac-
ceptance of the doctrine of the broth
erhod of man. When men of wide
ly separted stations are thrown to-
gether, come to know each other, to
admire the strong and manly quail
ties which they see in each other
when they are working side by side
for the advancement of a common in
terest, then and then only does per-
sonaI distrust, hatred and misunder-
standing give way to a spirit of fair
play. justice and a desire for the
common good"
Mr. Rockefeller paid tribute to the
success of the Young Mems Christian
