World Peace Through Home Ties Says Church Council
The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America argues that peace begins in the home with families fostering neighborliness and cross national ties. A council statement urges sympathetic discussion of world problems and prayer for all lands to promote world understanding. The Foreign Missions Conference approves returning six experienced missionaries to Japan this spring or summer, after Gen. Mace Arthur’s decision restricting new arrivals. Names include Rev. George E. Bott, Rev. Paul S. Mayer, Miss Alice E. Cary, Rev. Henry G. Bavenkirk, Rev. J. E. Cobb, and others awaiting arrival.
