PASTORS Wind UP
HARTFORD FARLEY
DR.. R. H. Stafford Of BOs-
ton Predicts End of All
Wars in Near Future

Hartford, Sept. 16 - If we read
the logic Of Christian history at all,
we learn that 1t is an explosive
movement" said Rev. DR.. Russell
Henry Stafford of Boston, Mass,
addressing the final session Wednes-
day Of the two-day annual Pastors
Conference held at the Hartford
Seminary Foundation.
The recurrent theme Of the dis
cussions Wednesday was the Chris
tian concept Of humility and human
kindness, which so far commends
itself, DR.. Stafford said to common
sense and so fits the nature Of
man, that It has spread beyond the
bounds Of the Christian church.
Condemnation Of the civilization,
predominantly Christian, which has
produced the present war, is actual
ly condemnation based on Christian
standards. DR.. Stafford pointed out,
and the fact that the concepts Of
Christianity have so far permeated
moral judgments is proof in itself
that the church has not failed.
Earlier in the day, he predicted
the end of all wars in the near fu-
ture, noting the absurdity which
competitive statism has reached, the
peril of a war between races, and
the factor Of self-preservation
which will one day come to bear
upon mass destruction.
DR.. Stafford pointed to the unique
combination Of methods by which
Christianity has spread, through

schools. hospitals and So
cial centers.
The UNCONVENTIONAL point Of view
is no longer one that cam be held
by thoughtful person, DR.. Stat
ford declared before the interde-
nominational audience Of min
listers, and he added, II make that
statement dogmatically and revel
In that kind Of dogmatism."
Touching briefly on Christian
movements in many countries in
wide-ranging discussion Of Chris
tian history, he stated that the SUBJ
terranean liberal movement in jap
an Is Christian, and that col
leagues in Germany, forced to give
UP their outward missionary en-
deavors, have turned to re-evaluat-
ing their mission, Of which they will
have q far clearer understanding
when Germany is once more
Christianized.
On Tuesday in his discussion Of
the role Of the minister, DR.. Stat
ford urged the value Of wide
knowledge Of Christian end philo-
sophical ideas, stating that the
minister is the instrument through
which the truth Of the Eternal car
fow forth to the people"
At the close Of the session Rev
DR.. Rockwell Harmon Potter
