First Church Pastor Tells of Stirring Meetings at . Detroit and Dr. Davis’ Botiage. A report on the activities of the national council ot Congregational churches which has just fintshed it annual meeting in Detroit was made yesterday to the congregation of the First Congregationaj church.by Rev. Theodore A. Greene, who represent- ed the Central Association of Con- gregational churthes in Connecticut. | Part of his report is as follow: *Our Col gatipnal fellowship in America numbered in 1927 some 5, 548 churches and boasted a tolal membership of 1,051,446 persons. This great body was represented in Detroit last week by some 900 dele- gates and associates from 31 states ©of the Union; the Island of Hawaii, and several mission fields overseas. Dr. Davis Speaks Though 1l “The retiring moderator, Dr. Ozora Davis, once pastor of the ®outh church of this city, delivered the keynote address of the program. His subject was ‘Life-Giving Convic- tions’ and the text in full has al- ready appeared in the Congregation. alist. His message came home to the hearts and minds of all present the more effectively because he knew and we knew that it would be in all probability the last public appear- ance he would ever make. “‘An ineurable disease has laid its | hand upon him, and though he spoke with a clear and resonant voice, it took all his strength to climb up into the high pulpit and deliver himselt of certain great personal convictions. “He closed this marvelous parable which none of those. who heard will forget. ‘Always the moths had felt the fascination of the flame. They had- investigated, debated, defined; but the fuill meaning of the flame never yielded itself to their eager quest. One of their best and brav. est went courageously. He ciscled the flame and returned to report that it was brilliant, splendid, radi- ant with revealing power. But there seemed something more yet to be learned. So another fared forth. .. He, too, flew yet nearer, circling hut % TBafe mrid returned:.to report that it ® was mot energetic, searing: but this did not seem to be adequate. So there flew from among the moths one of wide wing. He, too, circled ahout the flame.” Past the margin of its radiance into the range of the heat, dauntless he flew. Theny with one straight rush of wing, fearless he drove into the mystic center of the flame. There he learned the secret; but his eager companions waited in vain for his return. He alone, who knew, could not tell.’ Fred B. Smith Moderator <»“Asitamoderater fer the ncat two Woars,“the’ colfacil“elefted s 18yman of great ability and power, Fred B.

GREENE nately first a minister and then a layman are clected to preside over the destinies of our church. It has been my privilege to know Mr. Smith for some years now in connection with the work of the Stockholm con- ference and the Church Peace Union, and I want to register here my own personal conviction that a better lay- man could not have been chosen at this hour to lead our great church. “Wednesday was given over to a presentation of the work of the home boards, including the Ameri- can Missionary society, the Home Missionary society, the Church Ex- tension society, the Pilgrim Memor- ial and Congregational annuity funds. Dr. William Horace Day of Bridgeport was in the chair at hoth morning and afternoon sessions, and introduced the various witnesses to the value of Congregational Home Missions to Negroes, Indians, Moun- tain Whites and Porto Ricans. Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean emeritus at Yale divinity school, was the princi- pal speaker of the evening. Conditions Church Must Face He summarized a few of the fac- tors with which the church has to compete, naming specifically, ‘the immense number of automobiles, the wide and constant appeal of the movies, the influence of the radio on church going, the craze for amuse- {ment, the constant pressure of [things, and the lack of understand- ing between youth and age’ All these things we must face and still do our wo#k to Christianize the fam- ily, industry ,and education. “Friday was given over to presen. tation of the American Board's work overseas. Again, Connecticut was in [the ascendency with Dr. Rockwell Harmon Potter 1n the chair. If I 'were.te pick out & single diy as the high water mark of the Council's program, it . would be this day. Africa, India; Bulgaria, China, and the Philippine Islanda—all those lands were represented. But—to my mind the most significant and effect- ing presentations were made by Dr. Cyril Haas. a medjcal missionary at Adana, Turkey, and by D¢ T. Z. Koo, a younger brother of forler Ambas- sador Wellington Koo, who came all the way from Shanghai to bring greetings from the church in China. “Miracle” of Medicine “Dr, Haas began by telling us how recently’an American university professor had taken him to task for throwing his life away in medical work among the Turks. “You have no right to be there,” the professor protested. And when Dr. Haas press- ed for the reason ot his objection, |the strange answer he received was this: “Because you cannot preach Jesus Christ there. All of which appeared doubly strange to Dr. Haas. First— that this University Professor should care! Second—that a Universsity Professor could have been so fool- ish as to imagine that the Gospel ot Christ could be spread only by word of mouth. “The doctor then gave a glimpse into this hospital. He related how one day he was summoned to a Turk- ish major'’s home. The man's wife was apparently bleeding to death and all but gone. Rushed to the Adana hospital, the flow of blood was stopped. S8he was given a blood transufusion with saline and within an hour she w ing cheerfully again with her hus- band. In his ignorance of modern {medicine this Turkish major declar- ed ‘A resurrection miracle’ had been preformed upon his wife, He [blazoneq the story in two columns |on the front page of a Turkish | paper and wanted to send a dopy to cveryone in America.’ Being with difficulty disuaded from such an un- dertaking, he insisted on giving at once a ten course dinner for the full hospital staff, a dinner which has been repeated once a year since on the anniversary of his wife's recov- ery, plus the free gift of hospital supplies one day a month ever since that eventful day. And still men [talk about the ungrateful Turk and the inability to preach Christ in Turkey! “Dr. Haas told how easily, he had found five nurses in this country this winter—eager to volunteer for serv- ice, promising to pay their own way to and from the field and their own board and lodging at Adana if only he would take them. When he sug- gested that life for a woman in Tur- key was fraught with danger and unpleasantness, they one and all came back: ‘Are you trying to scare us? We don’t care for danger. We want to go.’ “All of which led him to conclude and rightly that, ‘The heart of American youth is eager and waiting for something big enough and hard enough and diffi- cult enough to hold them.' BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, JONE doctor of philosophy, greetings from China’s 4,000,000 Christians and explained ' what s going on in China today. * ‘China,’ concluded the midst, not only of a great poli- tical struggle, but a great religious struggle also. There are large groups of people saying In China today: “We do not need to think of God at all.” Materialism has not passed its day in the United States but materialism is rampant in China, Daily thousands of our young people are being won over to a purely materialistic outlook on life, and they have plenty of witnesses from the west in China to this ef- fect. Christian work in China is more difficult, and calls for = more devotion and insight and power than we have ever had or exercised be- fore. But, my friends, that is only one more reason for sending and maintaining the right kind of mis- sionaries in my struggling country.’ Chiristianity “Missions at home and abroad were by no means the only interests of the council at Detroit. No re- port of these meetings would be complete without some mention of the movements toward Christian unity, law observance at home and international friendship abroad, which were manifest. “For years our Protestant denom- inations in America have been talk- ing unity and acclaiming it. But at last the Congregationalists have es- poused it. At last we have made it something of a reality. 5 “At least one example in corpor. ate unity in a land where there are today 43 denominational branches of Protestantism all of natignal stand- ing, not to mention the 160 other religious sects and groups with which we have to reckon. On Thursday morning of last week by a unanimous vote of the council the proposed merger of our Congrega- tional churches with the general convention of the Christian churca in the United States became an es- tablished fact! This is not the time and place to go into the details of the merger, though I should be happy to lay the facts before any- one who cares to make a study of them., The actual resolution, unit- ing these two denominations reads in part as follows: ‘Resolved: That the natfonal council of the Congre- gational churches and the general convention of the Christian church be united under the title of the General Council of the Congrega- tional and Christiai Churches, un- incorporated, both national bodies to continue for the time being their organizations to meet legal require- ments, while constituting the mem- bership of the general organization.’ “It is distinctly understood that: ‘Each group recognizes . the other group to be constituted of the fol- lowers of Jesus Christ. Each group of churches and each individual church shall be free to develop and determine its own form of expres- sion. Finding that there is room for wide differences of interpretatien among equally good Christiana, this union shall be eonditional upon the acceptance of Christianity as pri- marily a way of life, and not upon uniformity of theological opinion or any_ uniform practice or ordinance.’ All boards and societies, funds and vested interests of both churches are properly and legally safeguard- ed. The actual finalizing of this union will not be completed until our Christian brethren have taken action in the autumn, but the com- missions of both churches are in hearty accord. “This merger marks one more step toward that unity of spirit and effort for which multitudes of Christian leaders have been work- ing, praying, and longing for years back.” Process of Law Questioned “Colonel Raymond Robbins of Chicago, addressing a men's dinner of 1200 Congregationalist laymen and ministers on Saturday evening in Detroit'’s great Masonic temple, challenged the council to back up President Hoover in his appeal to the American people for respect for law and order. Raymond Robbins is a fearless man, an outspoken man and a prophet of social righteous- ness in_our corner of God's King- dom. I have always admired his courage, and usually espoused his doctrines, but never more whole- heartedly than on this occasion. ‘Not only in the United States,’ he claimed, ‘but throughout the west- ern world, the authority of public order by self-government and due process of law is more in question now than at any other hour in mod- ern times. America is now the hope of the world, for—in spite of our crime wave and Jawlessness and ruthless gang violence in our great cities—there is a collective sanction and authority behind the public government of this country un- equalled in any other nation on earth:’ “He then cited American history A\ AAAAAL AL A2 R AL AL To The of your car ! 10, 1929. to the of nullification against the tion had been raised.

J “One further emphasis of the Detroit council and I am done. ¥ refer to its insistence upon the problem of peace and internationul friendship. Our new moderator, In his closing address made this signi- ficant statement: “‘The peace crisls is at hand. Never since the armistice has peace been 80 near, so tangible, so easily to be had for the taking—and yet the very thing so fraught with dan- ger and difficulty. The reparation conference in Paris revealed anew the old grudges. The conference of jurists with Elihu Root in Geneva has paved the way for the United States to enter the world court. Now the threat is made to fight the whole thing over again in the sen- ate. Everybody believed the ratifi- cation of the Paris peace pact would make all those efforts more simple and successful. But apparently it has not had that effect at all. The truth is that the crusade for a war- less world must be strengthened. The victories of the past ten years are only partial ones. The next ten years will tell the story. It will be either enduring peace or mmlhcf1 Defense The TROJAN S Are Coming!
