H KISSIONAIUES CAN
PACIFY MEXICO
J.froninent Preacher Declares Re.
t lliclous Work can do More than
Armies.
I Washington, Feb. 8.-A few well
equipped missionaries could do-dmore
I to pacify Mexico in one month than
- an army of soldiers could accomplish
. in a century. jDr, S. Earl Taylor,
I executive secretary of the interchurch
world movement, told the national
conference of church women here to
f day in a plea for the application of
Christian iprinciples to problems con
fronting the world.
t Europe is in desperate straits, espe
- cally from (v religious standpoint, Dr.
Taylor asserted.
"Only a short time ago I was in
Budapest and spent an entire day try
t ing to get a clergyman out of Jail," he
told the conference. "The only crime
he had committed was that of preach
Ing the gospel of Jesus Christ."
Dr. Abram C. Cory, director of the
series of pastors' conferences would
be held in every state between Febru
ary 16 and March 26, -preparatory to
the financial campaign which .will be
inaugurated in April.
At today's sessions plans were
made by women representing 28 or
more religious denominations and
faiths to combine to overcome what
was characterized as the dangerous
f ly insidious modern tendency towards
r indecent clothes, inidecent dances and
"tunes of African jungle syncopatibn".
y The conference decided unanimously
to convene In every state a series of
mothers' meetings, at which it is pro
hosed to enlist every woman inl the
campaign, and at the same time a
committee was appolinted to consider
the advisability of making the issue
an Integral part of the interchurch
world movement.
Announcement also was made that
various boards, co-operatling with the
linterchurch: movement, intend to
spend $500,000 for the evangelization
and care of children. In an eaort to
make religious services entertaining
to children it is planned to introduce
moving pictures in Sunday schools.
