Letter of Regret From President

"Why not a world's Christian Hague?
Why not a world's conference, not upon
alcoholics or linguistics or eugenics
only, but upon the broad and many
sided interests of Christian citizenship?
Is it too much to hope that this "World's
Christian Citizenship Conference, with
its distinguished representatives from
all nations of the earth, by the blessing
tf God, may catch the vision, and open
the -way for sucn a permanent world
wide council board?"
These words of Dr. Henry Collin Mln
ton, of Trenton, N. J., president of the
"World's Christian Citizenship Confer
ence, summed up in his address at the
Multnomah Stadium yesterday the hope
with which the National Reform Asso
ciation launched the preparations for
the conference two years atro.
International Scope Desired.
"My vision Is not," said rr. Mlnton,
"that of a National, but of an Interna
tional association of Christian citizens,
for exploiting and applying the prin
ciples of Christianity to citizenship.
"The time has come when any such
movement that is only National and
not universal is really only provincial.
Our neighbor Is our brother across the
ea as well as our brother across the
street. The world is a great joint stock
concern and our partnership is of God."
Dr. Samuel Zane Ba.tten, of Philadel
phia, speaking- on the "Christianization
of the Social Order," declared that the
present era demands an application of
Christian principles to Industrial and
economic life.
Uw of Christ Violated.
"There are yet great un-Christian
Jzed areas of life," he said. "In their
economic and industrial life men feel
under no obligation to accept the law
of Christ. The social and industrial
life of so-called Christian nations dif
fers in no essential respect from that
of Mohammedan, Buddhist, or agnostic
peoples. These moral wastes not alone
represent the practice of the street, but
they are defended by many teachers
In the schools. I have been taken to
task or saying the sermon on the
mount applies to the factory as fully
as to me family and the church.
"The law of Christ Is good economic
law; it is good political wisdom; It is
good social policy; it is the final prln
clple of industry. This implies the
establishment of Justice all along the
line. A society is unjust when any
class is so poor or so hard worked as
to be unable to cultivate their faculties;
it is unjust when the idle are protected
And set in power; It is unjust when a
disproportionate share of the goods of
life fall into the hands of any special
class; it Is unjust when any number
of people are handicapped from birth
and aro without a fair inheritance in
- society.
nrotb-erhood Is Demanded.
"This demands the establishment of a
social and industrial brotherhood. The
supreme question before the men who
believe In God is this: Will they bo
lieve their belief and seek to make
brotherhood a reality all along the
line? Will they live to establish social
democracy and industrial brotherhood?
This demands the collective and con
tinuous effort to embody Christian
principles in social forms.
"It is too early In the day for ani
ons to forecast the changes that will
follow. Social customs are to be
guided, industrial systems are to be
formed, legislative hails to be con'
scienced. National policies to be die
tated. International treaties to be in
spired by righteousness."
Swiss Speaker Heard.
F. De Rougemont, of Neuchatel,
Switzerland, closed the session with an
address upon the system of direct de
mocracy in Switzerland. The initiative
and referendum in operation he de
scribed and defended, and pointed out
a close parallel between the govern
mental problems confronted by the peo
ple of the United States and the people
oi Switzerland.
In the musical portion of the pro
gramme a duet was given by Dom J,
.San and Norman A. Von Hooae, and in
one of the Intermissions Professor Boy
er led In "The Lower Lights," singing
me stanzas in solo, while the assembly
joined in tne chorus.
The morning session was devoted to
. the business of organization.
The following letter from President
Wilson was read:
"The White House. Washington, June
12. -My Dear Dr. Mlnton: I remember
how much Interested I was when you
first told me of the meeting of the
World's Christian Citizenship Confer
ence, to be held in Portland next
month, and how I had hoped to be able
to be present. Since it turns out to
;ne impossiDie tor me to come, I want
to express to you, not only my sincere
regret but my hope that with the vision
and liberality combined the conference
- may help the country think out the an
plications of true Christlantlty to the
problems of citizenship, it is certainly
one of my deepest convictions that
there can be no inspiration in the per
formance of public duty without the
quickening of Christian principle.
"Cordially an.d sincerely yours,
(Signed) "WOODROW WILSON."
