Christianizing Alien Workers Takes Church Effort
Des Moines reports from January 29 show Rev. C. M. McConnell of Chicago outlining the Methodist World Service Commission effort to Christianize foreign speaking industrial workers. He cites 1920 census figures and notes many nationalities in mining and rural areas while stressing home life and better housing as key. Dr. Ralph S. Cushman adds that greed fuels war and calls for Christianizing property and business to curb ills and support prohibition repeal debates.
