ious education of the council..

mer, a large attendance is expected at

Daily vacation Bible schools have
been conducted in the east for many
years and have long ago passed the
experimental stage. They are wel
comed not only by the busy mother,
who is glad to have her children In
this helpful environment, but also by
the children, who are really sorry
when the sessions close. At one of
the schools in Portland last year the
boys, who are usually hard to hold in
Sunday school, were so interested
they expressed their desire to con
tinue for several weeks longer.

Multnomah, Columbia, Clatsop and
portions of Clackamas and Washing
ton counties. Affiliated with the or
ganizatlon also are leagues in the
Southern, Swedish and German Meth

In addition to maintaining these
connectional relations, which have
been such a mighty factor in the ag

of the Methodist group, the district

of young folk. One of them, .on an
attractive site at Falls City, Or., will
draw its student body from the Port

of a declaration of international
Ideals which would place them on rec

sible the results which the Interna
tional conference on limitation of
armament achieved." Robert E.
6peer is president of the council.
The report represented the council

f Christian international relations
"must go on with unabated energy
until wax has been outlawed." lb
proposed declaration of international
ideals follow:
"We believe that nations no less
than Individuals are subject to God's
immutable moral laws.
"We believe that nations achieve
true welfare, greatness and honor
only through Just dealing and unself
ish service. . .
"We believe that nations that re
gard themselves as Christian hare
special international obligations.
"We believe that the spirit of
Christian brotherhood can . remove
every barrier of trade, color, creed
and race.
"We believe that Christian patriot
ism demands the practice of good
will between nations.
"We believe that international pol
itics should secure equal Justice for
all races.
"We believe that all nations should
associate themselves permanently for
world peace and good-will.
"We believe in international law
and in the universal use of Interna
tional courts of Justice and boards of
arbitration. .
"We believe in a sweeping reduc
tion of armaments by all nations. :
"We Ijelieve in a warless world and
dedicate ourselves to Its achieve
ment" The council also reported the cre
ation of a commission on the church
and race relations and of a committee
on mercy and . relief. " The report
stated that In several of the larger
cities ."the pastors hre been brought
into conferenee witlf Christian em
ployers and employes to consider the
application of Christian principles to
Industrial life and to promote co
operation between the parties to in
dustry In the place of Belf-seeklng
and strife"; that a research depart
ment on the relation of the church to
social questions has been developed
and that the work of engineers and
other industrial experts has been in
terpreted and made available through
a fortnightly information service.
"More than any other year," the re
port asserted, "the evangelistic mis
sion of the churches has been at the
hart of the council's activities. The
co-operation of the evangelistic
agencies of the denominations in the
commission on evangelism has been
more hearty and complete than' ever
before."
The report recorded "steady and
solid gain in the development of the
co-operative work of the Protestant
churches."
