INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT
CONFERENCE A SUCCESS

The Grant county conference
of the lnterchurch World Move
ment convened at the Evan
gelical church of this city on
Wednesday, April Z, 1920.
The morning session was called
to order at 1000 a. m, by the
county director, Rev. j. M. Hun
ter, of Big Stone City.
AS DR.. Stencil was unable to
attend the convention, his SUBJ
ject was presented by Rev. Hun
ter. The subject, THE Signific-
ance Of the Interchurch Move
ment' brought out a large vision
of the worlds need of Christ. He
stated that there are thirty
protestant churches go percent
Of all the protestant churches)
involved in this great movement.
One of the most prominent bust
ness men Of this country said: Il
am connected with many corpor-
atoms, but | do not know of any
other organization that is so we'll
organized or farreaching as the
lnterchurch World Movement"
The aim of this organization is
to bring before the people what
the United States needs, what
China needs, what the lost world
needs, and mostly what the lost
soul needs. It's main object is
not money, but to bring Christ to
man and man to Christ.
At 1870 p. m. Rev J. E. Booth,
OF G%roton, presented the subject,
The Foreign Survey of the
World bringing out a few facts
as follows: For every one Chris
tlan there are nine other adher-
ents, and our task is to reach
these other nine. There is one
missionary to every $1,000 peo-
pie in China. The total funds and
missionaries sent to the foreign
fields would not supply New
York alone. The name Of God is
unknown to one-fifth Of the
population of Mexico.
The chairman, Rev. Hunter,
then drew attention to facts
nearer home, learned through
the lnterchurch survey. Over SO
percent of the children and youth
in the United States are growing
up without any systematic train
ing in religion. Over PSI, 900
children in South Dakota, are
without religious training.
Rev. C. P. Bast then gave the
composite address, touching on
the following points:
/. Spiritual Resources: empha-
sizing prayer. family devotion,
evangelism.
2. Stewardship: If we are
sincere in our spiritual belief
then we are willing to acknowl-
edge that God is the owner of all
things. Some day we must give
an account of our stewardship.
3. Life Work: We are trying
to get 100000 workers within the
next five years for home and
foreign work, young men and
women who are graduates of col
and universities, and who
are willing to take up this great
work.
4. Missionary Education: The
is the most fundamental
in this work; missionary
knowledge comes next.
Advisory committees of the
different churches throughout
The county were next appointed
md the advisory board organized.
Supt. H. G. Juell, of Aberdeen,
gave q short talk on the Home

py DONALD z. Biocs.


The world throughout the year 1920
was passing through the troublesome
period Of readjustment and reaction
that began with the close Of the World
war. OF all the great powers that had
been involved in the conflict, the Unit
ed States alone remained technically
In a state of war with Germany
through the failure Of the senate to
ratify the peace treaty. For all prac-
teal purposes. however, the United
States was at peace and conditions in
this country were more nearly normal
than in most of the nations of Europe
which had accepted the settlements
agreed upon by the peace conference
at Paris.
Although the great war had ended.
the world was not at peace in 1870.
Territorial disputes and jealousies
growing out of the war resulted in a
large lumber of minor conflicts.
The Irish problem remained I'M
solved and the situation in the Emer-
aid Isle grew more serious as the year
progressed. In the United States, de-
spite minor radical activities and the
uncertainties accompanying the read
justment of business and industrial
conditions, there was continued pros
perity and optimism.

reflected In the disturbed internal con-
ditions Of many countries of the old
world In 1920.

velopments of the early days of the
