general secretary.
Recent correspondence with
Christian leaders in the various ma
tions seem to indicate" DIR. Macfar-
land declared. that the time is ap-
preaching for a world conference
of the churches, and there is a gen.
eral disposition to look towards the
Federal Council of the American
churches for leadership in bringing
about such conference. Indeed
some of the foreign church bodies
have definitely committed this task
to us"
Better Relationship
Asserting that ''one of the most
important developments in the past
few years has been the deepening
relationship with the church bodies
of other nations" DR.. Macfarland
added:
Indeed we find testimony to the
fact that the existence of the Fed
eral Council has led to the organiza-
ton of similar federations in other
nations and in cases where federal
councils previously existed, TO the
stimulation of their activities. These
relationship have deepened, espe-
cially in Europe and more particu-
larly in France and Belgium"
DIR. MaCfarland's report was de-
voted to The Measure and Manner
of the Federal Councils Service
During the Past Biennium." He de-
clared that the eXigenCies and op-
portunities of the war and of the So
Cial order have naturally reawaken-
ed the churches. stimulated their
thought and aroused their mission
ary enthusiasm. so that in the neces-
sary revision of their programs and
the reconstruction of their admins
trative forces they have had one OF
those rebirths which bring renewed
vitality and deepened self-con-
sciousness."
Big Problems Ahead
DIR. Macrarland said that through
its commission on relations with the
Orient, the Federal Council faces
great international problems from
which the responsibilities of the
churches cannot he separated or iso-
