I '. GOOD CHRISTIANS MAKE GOOD CITIZENS, HE SAYS The Bishop Presented the Greetings ot the Council on the Occasion of ' Annual Meeting of Execu tive Committee. W ASHINGTON, (Jan. ' 25. Hu manitarian and philan thropic efforts of the Fed eral council of the Churches of Christ In America were outlined by ' Bishop E. R. Hendrix, of Kansas City, Mo., president of the council In a speech before President Ta'ft at the White House today. Bishop Hendrix presented the greetings of the council on the occas ion of the annual meeting of it ex-. ecutive committee. He said: "Our fathers In the .very first amendment to the constitution tor bade congress to muke any law res pecting tho establishment of religion, wisely deeming It the duty ot the church to establish the state and not the duty of the state to establish the church. Thus from the beginning, in the free exercise of their religious view, the various churches have ex pressed their devotion to the best in terests of our common country, no tably to Washington and Lincoln, when our national government began and when it was in greatest peril. The memorable responses to these greetings showed how grateful they were to the highest executives in our Representing more than 100,000 min ister ot the gospel and some 17,000, 000 communicants, or nine-tenths of the protestants of the our country. federated in a permanent organization known a "the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ In America," w ' bring Christian greetings to the chief ruler of the greatest nation In the history standing for self-government. As former greetings were made by ' individual churches and were wel comed by our ruler when the fate of the nation was yet undecided, much more we believe will be welcomed thl Christian greeting to our Chief Magistrate by the federated churches as the sign of the compact and, grow ing strength of our national ' union. The late Mr. Justice Brewer declared that such a federation of churches was also an unmistakable proof that our Is a Christian nation despite the fact that we have no established church. We are happy to state that the growing aplrit of catholicity and the belief that the work of the churches could better be done in co-operation than - in separation ripened into thl not of individual Christian but of notable and permanent federation churches, and that by th authority and the unanimous action of ' the highest ecclesiastical assemblies of th land. ' "Believing with Webster that what ' make good Christian make good citizens, we are glad to state thnt in addition to the distinctively religious work which is sought to be done by all the churches a never before, such a home and foreign mission and the vital work of evangelism, the Feder al Council of Churches 1 doing in unison humanitarian and phllanthrop- Ic work calculated at once to bless and to strengthen the nation. Thus through our large standing commit tees of some two hundred leading minister and laymen, careful study Is being given to the advancement of such great Interest as Sunday Obser vance, Temperance, the Sanctity of the Home, the Church and Social ser vice, and literature and education. "Happy results have attended these effort In checking race-track gamb ling In annulling loose .divorce laws. In stopping- twelve-hours-a day labor and that for seven day In the week in certain Industries, in bringing about kindlier relations' between the church and laboring men. In safely guarding the physical and moral well-being of women and- children who are bread-winner and In pro moting wholesome literature and the better Intellectual , development of our youth. . "Ia all thl we are unlted'y seeking the highest welfare of our great na tion whose Chief Magltrtrate hns our dally prayers and our local aid. We rejoice to recognize as preslaVnt one who Is exceptionally acquainted with our great and varied national Inter ests, und who fully commands our confidence so that we are content to see through his eyes a completed Pan ama canal and th conservation of th best poeslble good of.'he Philippine whose little brown men he delight.-! to call brothers."
