18 FAMINEISHENACE TOROTESTANTIH European Churches Facing Need of U. S. Aid to Sur- ~ vive, Says Macfarland. —_— - By the Amociated Press. COLUMBUS, Qhlo, December 14.— American churches must go to the ald of European Protestantlsm or it will crumble, the Rev. Dr. Charles §. Mac- farland, general secretary of the Fed- eral Council of Churches, deslared in an address here today at the annual meet- ing of the executive committee of the organization. His address was regard- ed as one of the most important of the meeting. “Every dispatch,”” he sald, “tells of growing famine and of the closing, through poverty, of evangelieal insti- tutions of benevolence and education. General despair exists. “Only united efforts on the part of *all the American churches, working side by side in & common cause, can keep ‘the whole fabric of European Protest- antism from crumbling. The founda- tions are strong, for they are founded on the gospel itself, but the super- structure, the painful, constructive labor of several centuries, is in danger of col- lapse. Fedgrate Churches Abrond. “One of the most important pieces of work the Federal Council of Churches has donc has been the help it has given in the federating of the evangelical churches of continental Europe. “Every dispatch from Europe brings e e ?:'mj.;ng'g“h;g!'I.OWDEN SEES STATES |55t an Mineie s an soress o x | Serer 85850y The,2527% "53| CANADA HONORS MEMORY OF DEAD RAIL EXECUTIVE Minute of Silence Observed in Do- minion During Lord Shaugh- has ‘ollowed in the wake of 1d war, It is the Protestant element which is suffering most acutely from this widespread distress. It is in the gravest danger of extinction in the great wave of economic disaster Which has ingulfed central Europe. “The European churches in the countries not so immediately affected by the economic depression are striv- ing gallantly to save what they can out of the wreck, but they themselves are too weak or too poor to accom- Dlish the required results in spite of the most heroic self-sacrice. Only America lags far behind. Campaign for Funds. “What fs. needed now, and needed at once, 18 a practical expression of brotherly love.

Officials said there was little doubt of its approval. Kian Is Denounced. Discussion of inter-racial problems, including a denunclation of the Ku Kiux Klan as an organization em- bodying “many of the evils which the church has been decrying for years,” occupied vesterday's session of the annual meeting of the execu- tive committee of the council. The arralgnment of the klan, which came in an address of M w. C Winsborough of St. Louls, was con- cluded by the suggestion “that the Christian people of America” take & stand against the organization. SRS S5 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. I Gov.
