for a more dynamic, effective Pro
testantism—a Protestantism which
undertake intensive recruiting
white unshrinkingly grappling with
the most perplexing domestic and
world problems—were laid at the
three day special postwar meeting

emphatic action on a half dozen

War I has there been such united
action evident on such a wide rang

In final sessions the Federal

die military. The Council also urged
