(Continued from Page One) “The right of childhood to health ajnd safety, to the training of body in right purposes^ is unchallenged. The childhood of every race must be safeguarded^ for races move forward on the feet of little children.” “A a foundation for social security for all races the family ideal must be made possible by economic justice, by religious sanction, by legal safe guards and a single standard of mor als.” I “We believe that violence .has no place where people lend their support and mind in right habits and the soul in every possible way to the agen. cies constituted by the people' for the apprehension, trial and punish, ment of offenders against society. | We resent the assertion that crimin ality can be controlled by lawless outbreaks, and woman’s honor pro tected by savage acts of revenge.” “We believe it our highest duty to pursue these methods toward har monious racial adjustment.” “We believe that bitterness, re sentment and strife will yield to mu. teal trust only as we steadfastly cul tivate in both races these attitudes and this faith in our common t iman_ ity.” “To these ends we pledge our selves.” 's', Similar organizations of women have been effected during the last year in Georgia^ Alabama^ South Carolina. Virginia, Tennessee and Texas. The enlistment of the women is generally regarded as one of the most significant phases of {he good will work that is being do vs through out the South by the Commission (in Interracial Cooperation^ wh.ch came into existence in 1919 and now has branches in every Southern 3t°te and in 800 counties. PLANTING CHRISTIAN COM. MUNITIES. (CoCntinued from Page One) moral condition there. Their answer is unanimous. Not one of the con ceptions stated is correct. The for- 1 feign missionary is busy planting Christian communities in pagan lands. And his task is a most important part 'of the process of establishing the Kingdom of God on earth. The process of planting these Chris tian communities is simple in theory. In actual practice it encounters all the customs and prejudices which the people ministered to have inherited from all the ages. But the mission ary of the Cross in foreign lands knows no such word as defeat. He has been commissioned to a task and he intends to make good. The church at home has sent him forth. He ar rives on the scene of his labors, s. What next ? A Process of Kingdom Building. As soon as the necessary mastery of a new language is accomplished, i the missionary starts ih to make t personal contacts, by teaching or , healing or direct preaching. He estab- \ lishes a home in the midst of the peo- £ pie to whom he ministers. This home j is the great, illustration of the power ] of Christ in human lives,—the mes- , sage he has come to teach For a • Christian home is vastly different ] from a non-Christian home, especially ( as found in pagan lands. , x As men and women accept his j teaching, which at first bears down , the Gospel on the individual life, they £ strive to .imitate the missionary’s \ home. These new homes multiply, and themselves become illustrations of , the power of Christ. Many who do not yield to the missionary’s teach- ^ ings are convinced by the new type of . home of their neighbors. When a r goodly number of such homes are j established, a new attitude towards \ social customs becomes the theme of j. the teaching. t ^The^fi^inm^rt be taught the c necessity of having but one wife. The Chinese must be taught the ini quity of foot-binding. Womanhood in India must be If ted to a higher plane. The fevil of industrial peonage must l be pointed out. Healing of the sick r must be encouraged. The value of human life must be propagated. [ Life becomes a new thing in every ^ sense of the word in every village to which the missionary has come. What If The Task Is Not Done? The missionary is able to meet only a small part of the demands made ’ vupon him. One of these unsung he roes recently stated that it would take him over a year to spend a day in each of the preaching appointments in his parish. Yet he knows that he should live in each village awhile if he is to be much of an influence in making the'community Christian. He also knows what it will mean to 'the land that sent him forth if the task is not done thoroughly. The old dis tinction between East and West has largely given way under the pres sure of modem international rela tionships. Whatever evils are allowed to last in the religious or social sys tems of Oriental nations bear fruit for the farthest removed peoples of the Occidental world. / - So the foreign missionary worlcs hard at his task. For he knows that wherever the Christian community is established it is the means of chang ing the whole outlook of life of the ; non-Christian masses. Though he live in a grass hut beside a ditch, and work his garden patch with a crooked stick, the Christian’s life is in advance of the best in non-Christian lands, and the fruits of such living event ually come to the fore to be the pat- j tern taken by those who have not yet subscribed to the teachings of the Gospel. And the Christian attitude toward life has a tendency to national j as well as community betterment. Officials find a new set of ideals aris- < fag and find a spirit of independence and progress which is exactly contra- j dictory to the time-honored sub servience and conservatism inculcated by pagan faiths. The foreign missionarjTls planting ' Christian communities in pagan lands. He is seeing character and vision de velop under the teaching of the Word j of God, and peoples long dead in tres- I passes and sin becoming alive to the new order of the Kingdom of God FINANCIAL BOARD MEETING. The Financial Board will not meet in Philadelphia as heretofore but will meet at Newark, N. J., Tues. day^ January 9, 1923, which is the day before the Bishops’ Meeting.
