Presiding Bishop Asks
European Relief fund
This U an exact transcript of
Presiding Bishop Sherrill's ra
dio address at 11:30 a.m.. Sun
day, February 29. and is re
printed here lor the benefit of
those who may have wished
to hear it but could not get
good radio reception.
Today, even the most hard
hearted realists are talking In
terms of a world crisis and of
world needs. Therefore, it is es
pecially important that we who
are Christians should recall the
familiar words, "God so loved the
world that He gave."
Christianity Is either for all
men or it has validity for none.
The Christian Fellowship, wor
shipping the God who has made
of one blood all nations of men,
knows no barriers of nationality,
for in Christ we are members one
of another and so we are to bear
one another's burdens.
Today our fellow Christians In
many lands in Europe, in the
Near East, and In the Far East
are in dire need. Some of us have
seen these deeply moving scenes
and people with our own eyes.
Everyone who can read knows
the fact hat millions of people
lack the barest necessities of life:
food, warmth, clothes, shelter.
There is such a gulf between con
ditions at home and In these
countries that It Is difficult for
us to realize the actuality of what
Is happening. The mention of the
millions of sufferers tends to
make conditions seem unreal. If
any one of us sees an undernour
ished child or a person enfeebled
by illness or great age, or a crip
ple, we are immediately touched
and desirous of being of help.
Surely we should be able to vis
ualize what this means multi
plied literally millions of times.
Cold, starvation, with resulting
sickness and death these are
grim realities which, if they are
comprehended, must move deep
ly to sacrificial action.
Man cannot live without bread
but neither can he live by bread
alone. He is a child of God. He
must have the opportunity to
worship", the word of life In the
Old and New Testaments, the
sacraments and the ministry of
the Christian Church for in
these, if we believe what we say,
are to be found the sources of
strength to overcome despair and
to find the true meaning of life,
in all sorrows and joys as against
mere existence. Men must possess
the gifts of the Spirit, Faith, Cour
age, and especially Hope: Faith
in God and in men; Courage to
face a most difficult task of re
building not only physical ruins
but the minds, hearts, and souls
of men; Hope not only for the
present but into Enternity of God.
The inescapable lesson of the
past forty years is that the
world's problem is spiritual. Un
til men have come to realize that
God reigns, all our efforts econ
omic and political and cultural
are doomed to failure.
So it is today I call our people
to the support of the Churches'
program of World Relief. There
will be those who will ask why
the Churches should engage in
this work when the government
is doing so much in the appro
priation of great sums and when
there are so many private organi
zations devoted to the same pur
pose. We heartily approve the
program of government and of
private relief agencies, but it is
also essential that gifts should go
to Christians of other lands, not
in the name of any nation or of
any organization, but in the
name of Christ, as a witness to
the universal fellowship of the
Church. Such a gift may be of
food, or of clothing material
things but these will bear too
the invisible gifts of the spirit in
the name of our Master. Further
more, since this relief is distri
buted through the local Churches
in every land here is a practical
means of strengthening the
Church by making possible thru
the churches the bearing of relief
to those in need.

HO WAR DKEITHLEY
Let us make no mistake. It is
vitally important for every rea
son to keep alive, and as strong
as possible the Christian Church
es of these devastated countries.
We talk much of democracy, but
democracy is a political expres
sion of a deeper Faith in God
and in the eternal worth of ev
ery human soul because we are
the children of God. It is truly
touching to read the letters of
gratitude which come from
abroad. The material gifts have
of, course been of immeasurable
help, but equally so have been
the gifts of Christian fellowship
across the seas. I wish that there
were time to read excerpts from
some of these messages, from the
old Catholic Church, the Ortho
dox Church, a Lutheran pastor
or a Christian worker, and from
many others in Europe and the
Far East. It is not only that the
world is today looking to America
in the difficult postwar problems
which confront all men, the
Christians of these lands abroad
are looking to the Christians of
America for assistance for the
hand of brotherhood.
Let me say again we must not
underestimate the importance to
the whole cause of Christ of
strengthening these local Chur
ches. In these countries there is
almost a total lack of Bibles,
Church school lessons, and Chris
tian literature in general, due to
the destruction of war and the
shortage of paper. Theological
education has been greatly ham
pered and upon such education,
to a large extent, depends the
Church of the future. In some
places it has been necessary to
erect temporary barracks to make
public worship possible. This
help has nothing to do with re
building destroyed churches with
their shattered stained glass and
broken arches. We are helping
only to maintain the barest ne
cessities which make possible the
continued spiritual life of these
Churches amid most dishearten
ing and even desperate condi
tions. Here then is a Mecedonian cry
from our Christian brethren. As
we think of the blessings and the
comforts we enjoy, as we wor
ship this morning in peace and
beauty of our own parish chur
ches, can we in the presence of
God, the loving Father of all, fail
lo respond?
I close with these familiar and
heartsearching words:
"But whosoever has this world's
goods and beholdeth his brother
in need and shutteth up his com
passion from him, how doth the
love of God abide in him?
"Which of these three thinkest
thou proved neighbor unto him
that fell among thieves? And he
said He that showed mercy on
him and Jesus said unto them,
Go and do thou likewise."
