Pastor Writes of War High Praise for Bicknell
A portion of a war letter from Rev. Dr. John Van Schaick Jr of Our Father Universalist Church describes Rev. Ernest P. Bicknell and the Rockefeller relief commission as in peril and heroically active across Europe. He praises Bicknell’s cool judgment and moral leadership amid typhus, bombardments, and dangerous travel while detailing relief efforts in Belgium, Holland, Serbia, and Poland. The letter, read at services, underscores American pride and the ongoing need for food, clothing, and workers to aid refugees and war-torn regions.
