Religion and See Problem in School Endeavorers Take Chicago
A Chicago selection for the twenty sixth international convention of the United Society of Christian Endeavor was marked by a vote affirming teaching religion in schools and support for sex hygiene taught by physicians. Dr Charles M Sheldon urged a Bible textbook for schools and warned against a state as a menace to democracy. Toronto editor Dr J A MacDonald criticized churches for social apathy and warned that industrial oppression threatens democracy. He urged a return to Christ centered living and Christian work in labor relations. Chicago was chosen for the 1915 biennial session.
