Thirty-Three Denominations Eepre
sented With a Membership of
1 8 000000 Bishop Hen-
drix Chosen President.
Associated Press Report.)
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. December 3-
AVIth an unanimity of action that went
far beyond lit ex pertatloriB of the leading
spirits in the movement for unity of
ihurcli action the Federal council of the
churches of Christ in America began lta
business session today. The organization
of the council was practically completed
and the delegate of whom there are
more than ) representing thirty-three
denominations with a membership of
ahout lx.tfiO.OOO have entered upon the
real wdYk of the council.
Hlshop E. K. Ilendrtx D. D . of Mla-
Hourl of the Methodist Episcopal church
South was honored with the presidency
r the Kederal council by an ana ni mo us
vote of the delegates.
Two reports of committees were taken
up Hud disposed of one of them after an
interesting debate. This report relates to
the i o-uperatlon of all the churches In
the foreign mission Meld and was present-
ed b Kev James L. Bartoa of Boston
'"lU'.refcationaliHt together with Ave
resohit ions one of which favored the
close federation of Christian churches In
foreign fields and the "elimination of de-
nominational dist inct ions."
Hishop K I-: llosa of Nashville of the
Methodist Kpls opal church. South at-
tacked the resolution in a vigorous
speech .
'"We have too many denominations" he
said '"hut who is Knl"K to cancel them?
I'niiy is ;ood. but lilerty Is better."
After discussion t he reference to the
elimination of denominational distinctions
was strii ken out and the resolutions was
adopted.
Another resolution adopted approves the
resolution if ciIikhi ional institutions In
mission countries wherever practicable
in which teacher and students of various
denominations shall have equal privileges.
The other report considered contained
resolutions recommending co-operative
work uIimik sp ial lines along Christian
effort nil if which were adopted without
opposition.
Rev. A. K. Vontiema D. P. former
president of the fm-ral synod of the He-
formed chinch i r i America presented as
ehuirinun. the uport of the commlttei
on the relation nf the Federal council t
interdenominat iiinal organizations.
MANY ORGANIZATIONS.
"Many interdenominational organiza-
tions." says the report "have sprung into
beinp during the last century. They rep-
resent the church of Jesus Christ In
America at work they are the forerun-
ner jiikI partial realization of the result
onlemptHled by t his council.
I ncse Interdenominational organiza-
tions are not supplementary agencies to
Hie chinch much less her rivals. They
ii re t he church it self divided somewhat
in name and traditions but united In
.spirit and service."
Such (lie report st ates are the Amer-
ican Hi hie hoc let snpplylng Bibles to
the poor and the blind and on the mis-
sion field in 467 languages and dialects;
the American Tract society distributing
Christian literature in 174 languages; the
A meriean Sunday Hrhool union the
YounK Men s Christian Association ths
Voting W'onif-n's Christian Association
the Woman's Christian Temperance
r n h hi. the Young People's ftoclet y of
Christian Kndeavor the student volunteer
movement and the layman's missionary
movement .
The report adds:
"To all these the relations of the coiin-
cl I are of t he utmost cordiality. Your
cdinmlttee therefore recommends the fol-
lowing i (-solution '
"1 That it is tho sense of this council
thai t lie interdenominat ional organisa-
tions of the I'nited Htates by co-operation
a innn s per ial lines of Christian effort
tin f done much t n prepare the way for
the hn i;ider co-operative work contem-
plated by t his lody
' : That the work so successfully car-
ried on hy them demonstrates the prac-
ticability and wisdom of a federated
christian enterpiise and (fives promise
of success to the plans that may be
adopted hy this ounctl
"H That we recognize the various or-
ganizations as an Integral part of the
chinch bringing into effect no small
shn re of t he work commit ted to her
hands and that we therefore heartily
"in mend t hem to t lie conlldence syin-
pnlhv .ind generous support of the
ch uri lies
1 That while we give our indorsement
to such organizations as planned of a
Ch riNtian und interdenominational cliar-
ac ier and are so regarded generally these
i esolulions are tun to be construed as
com inem ling every interdenominational
organization that carries on some form
oi good work. iM-rhapH not distinctly r.-
Ilions. and which appeals to the churches
for assistance.
"" That It is our conviction that the
plan of work which this council will take
up will be so comprehensive a to make
tmne. essai y the further increase In the
number of undenominational or interde-
nominational organizations for spec
wurk ami will tlum protect tli? hur-hp
