'AGE TWO THE ARIZONA REPUBLICAN. TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, 1920 PASTORS GATHER IN CONFERENCES RHEA T MOV E Interchurch Meeting Draws 70 Ministers To Phoenix . Important Program Given Much Interest Is ! Shown Seventy pastors of protestant churches in all parts of Arizona met here this afternoon with viisting lead ers of the Interchurch World move ment for the first of three conferences in the San Francisco area of the move ment. The conference here will end Wednesday. The second will be held in Los Angeles and the- third at San Francisco. Or- A. E. Isaacs of Boston, chair man of the visiting representatives, presided. He stated that tins is one ot similar conferences being held across the continent. Reports from the meetings held in other sections of the c-ountry last week indicate that the Iastor's conference at Columbus. Ohio. was the largest thus far convened, i.uo pastors having registered. Pre sumably the meeting1 now just begin ning in -Phoenix will be one of the most significant gatherings ever as sembled in the state and will result and will have far reaching results. Mr. Isaacs stated that the Inter church Movement is an experiment in economics. Its purpose is to help the churches do their own work with greater economy and efficiency than heretofore. It is an effort to iook at the whole field and see the whole task of the church.. Most of us know the work of our own denomination, but little of that of other denomina tions. Some of us know more about our work in Africa than we know about the church around the corner. We have each been looking at the world task through denominational blinders. This is an effort to take off the blinders and see the whole task. The Significance of the Movement The chairman then introduced Dr. H. E. Diffendorfer, the head of the home surveys department, who ad dressed the conference on the subject, "Tne Significance of the Interchurch World Movement." Mr. Diffendorfer is known across the continent because of his leadership in making the home surveys of the centennial movement of the Methodist Episcopal church. -Mr, Diffendorfer in characterizing the movement said that it was, first of all a movement seeking to get practical results. It is fuitional in its nature and fits into the present day American mind. It seeks to know the fields, describe the forces, .count the costs and get the results. It is engaged In making a survey of the whole world country by country- These needs it proposes to budget in terms of money, leaders and policies. Then through thorough organiaztion and publicity it proposes to acquaint the people with these needs and budgets. It will pro ceed with its activities until the money is raised, the men found and equipped and the administrators secured to do the work. These administrators are the boards themselves. The movement is not to be confined to America, th speaker emphasized The whole Christian body throughout the world is to be made effective for Christian service. The American church alone is not sufficient founda tion for the world task. It will take the whole world church to do this thing efficiently. The service to man kind which America is to render can not be dene through commerce, or science, or politics; it ta e; religion, the speaker declared. The Inter church movement is inter-racial also, he emphasized. Also a Church Movemw.t ''This is also a church movement, said Dr. Diffendorfer. "It is organized ' and financed by more than 30 of the great mission boards of the several de nominations. It is also an "inter' movement. It has nothing to say about the question of organic union. It is not a super-church movement. It un dertakes to co-ordinate and thus to secure the co-operation of the various units in protestantism. Co-ordination and oo-operation are big words for our day. Dr. I. M. McCash, president of Enid university, Oklahoma, then addressed the conference on "American Educa tion." He stated that a monarchy can survive without popular education, but for a democracy it is impossible. We mutt educate or perish. That which is to be put into the national life must be first put into the schools. He then proceeded to illustrate by the experience or Ciermany. that a nation is the result of its educational sj'stem, and that Germany in 40 years developed a materialistic imperialism that set out to enslave the world. He showed the need of Christian colleges, inasmuch as- the secular schools are unable to use the Bible, which is the foundation of our ethical and spiritual life. He spoke ot one denomination where only one per cent of its Chil dren are sent to the colleges of that denomination, yet these furnisi 83 per cent of its preachers. He stated that the askings of the protestant foreign missionary boards today are for 1920 men to serve as missionaries, while the combined enrollment of students for Christian service is only 1.800. DAIRY TALICS Now is the time to start a dairy herd Finan cial aid for dairymen, based on ability and acreage Cotton growers should adopt slogan, "A Bale of Cotton to the Acre, with Dairy Cows.5 Ik 91 We have received a number of letters from farmers both in the Salt River valley, and other Arizona points, as well as from other states, asking us "how far we will go in the matter of financing dairymen?" Each of these letters is of course answered personally, and each application is handled separately as we have no fixed rule for fi nancing farmers who desire to go into the dairy business. The ability and adaptibility of the man, his acreage and its adaptability for dairying, have a great deal of bearing upon the situation. Therefore we cannot make a statement that we will finance a man on a basis of $25 an acre or $50 per acre, or even at so much per cow, because cows vary in value and productivity. Suffice it to say, that the financial department will deal most generously and fairly with each and every application for financial assistance. The entire abilities of this organization are committed absolutely to thetrehabilitation of the dairy business in the Salt Kiver valley, and no limit has been set upon the financial aid that will be given farmers entering the dairy business. ' This is the season to start a dairy herd, and we shall be glad to receive applications for cows or financial assistance, especially from cotton growers who must plant a portion of their acreage to alfalfa or other crops, and who have made definite plans for diversifi cation of crops in order that they may pro duce a full yield of cotton.- Adopt this slogan: "A bale of cotton to the acre with dairy cows. Let this department assist you in getting into the dairy business. Our farm experts are practical men who "KNOW BY DOING" just how best to care for stock and arrange crops, buildings and all other farm matters. They will be glad to as sist any farmer or dairyman free of charge. Call, write or phone INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT Pacific Creamery Co. 237 North Central Avenue (Copyright applied for Feb. 1920 by Niles G. Hyatt.) Dr. Archie Ball of Boston spoke on the subject of "Religious Education.' Great Interest in Program Today Great interest focuses on the con ference program for today and "Wed nesday. The survey department, with illustrations by slides and charts. Will occupy the attention of the delegates throughout this morning, afternoon and night. This program deals with both home and foreign missions. Mr, Diffendorfer will present the surveys for the home field. Conditions in the large metropolitan centers and in town and country will be touched upon. The needs of America will be classified, and startling revelations in our own land are expected. The problem and policies to correct evils will be dis cussed. Kor the foreign field, missionaries will be present and by illustrations on the screen the needs of Latin-America, Africa. India and all the countries of the earth will be pictured. ine great need for hospitals, or- phanges, old peoples' homes and sani tariums also will be presented, and what the inter-church world movement purposes to do in view of the situations will be discussed. The minister and his needs will also claim the attention of the conference. the small salaries paid, the need for pensions. This will probably be one of the most astonishing features of the meeting. The women are holding parallel ses fiions to the pastor's conference. The meetings today which present the sur veys of the world, at both home and abroad, illustrated by stereoptican will be attended to the women as well as the men. Arrangements are being made for a banquet at tho supper hour to be addressed by members of the visiting teams. The interchurch movement is thor oughly organizing the country for this great task, it was stated yesterday, with national, state, county, commu nity and local church units included in its scheme of organization. Through these units the several departments will work, using both paid and volun teer help. A great "win one" cam paign reaching its crest at Easter time is being promoted by the evangelistic department. A great financial drive for $1,300,000,000 is to be undertaken in May. Dr. Agar of New York, speaking to the conference on "The High Cost of Loving," said: "Love is the most expensive thing in the world. Love of Christ is the most expensive of all loves. The mod ern Christian- must prove his loving allegiance by the price he pays to demonstrate his love. In Luke 14, Christ laid down the cost of loving Him. First, that we must prefer Him to all others and love Him at the ex pense of our own life. To do this. will revolutionize the lives of many men and women. Xext, we must bear our cross as He Bore His. What is your cross? Third, we must go into His service having fairly and square ly counted it up that it will cost lis heavily. Again, we must fight His battle, knowing we vfill be facing the odds. "We will be in the minority but our victory in the end Is assured. Last. we must yield up all we have to Him or we cannot be His dirtple. "When the membership of our churches willingly pays that high cost of loving Him we will soon evangelize the world and In every nook and cranny or this sin-cursed world new life currents will flow from the great heart of Christ to all who will receive Him." Probably the most gripping appeal of the day was made by Mrs. XV. A. Montgomery of the New York office. when she spoke to the ministers last night. Her entire appeal centered about this one proposition: We women bear children and give them gladly to serve our country. You help us give them Just as gladly to Christian service., PARADE OPENS y FESTIVAL ARM WEEK N PHOENIX Concerts, Mass Meeting And Addresses Are On Pro gram Of First D a y Schools Are Visited More For Today TODAY'S PROGRAM 8:45.

During the day the band and speakers appeared at two schools, one theater and the Fireman's ball, while one of the officers also spoke at a Masonic meeting. Though one of the schools was vis ited yesterday morning, and through the week started Sunday with ad dresses in Phoenix churches, the pa rade yesterday was the formal open ing event of. Army Festival week here, a weeK devoted to bringing closer to gether the citizens in the army and the citizens without the army, to tell of the new American peace time military organization. Tells of Army Need The parade yesterday was made up of the Nineteenth Infantry band and the Phoenix high school cadet battal ion. Its route was west on Adams street, after leaving the high school. to Third avenue, then south to Wash ington street, and east to the city hall plaza, where its concert was followed by addresses by Major Herbert Fay, one of the two army officers here es petially for Army week, and Lieut Alden Seabury. in charge of the band. Major Fay, Captain Donaldson, Lieut. Alden Seabury and Major. J. C. Shind ler, the other speaker here especially for the week, were escorted to the city hall porch by J. E. Nelson, assistant city attorney, who introduced the speakers on behalf of the mayor. Every period in American history has had its army, suited to the needs of that period, said Major Fay in his talk at the mass meeting, and so it is with the p'resent army. He referred to the refjuiremnts of the world war, and said, "There were thousands upon thousands of men in the army who could neither speak nor write English. This led to the creation of a special branch of tha service, and out of these conditions grew the great principle of the present American peace time army. What It Offers Soldier "It is moving ahead. Not only must the soldier know how. to speak the English language, but he must think in It and work in it.

In his talk Captain Donaldson of the Nineteenth Infantry, here with the band, told of the history of that reg iment, closely paralleling that of the nation. Since the Civil war, where it left all its strength save one lieutenant school at 1 o'clock. Major sanincuer again speaking.

The Chlckamauga, the regiment has been a famous one. and in 1914, its band, the band that is now in Phoenix, led the American troops into the city of Vera Cruz. Delights School Children The school children for whom the band played during the day danced with joy and applauded so heartily it was easy to see they would have liked to listen to it all day. Yesterday's program opened at the Adams school at 8:45 in the morning. and after the band had given its con cert Major Shindler spoke, telling of the new peace time army. The new army, the major said, is carrying out the Americanization principle Jn a most practical way. and at the same time is preparing the men in it for useful careers In the trades or professions. "How many have written essays in the army contest?" asked the major. and at least 50 hands shot up. "That hand and sneakers appeared at tne theater at 7:30, and at 8 Major Shind ler spoke at a Royal Arch meeting in Masonic hall.
