They believed a statement was necessary and proceeded to make one, The 93 ‘Protestant jeadels declared that in this war “ethical issues’ are at stake to which no | Christian can remain indifferent.” ‘They expressed abhorrence of war, renounced hate and vengeance for peoples caught by the wicked. designs of their leaders and urged preparation for peace to come. “Totalitarian aggression must be halted,” the statement reads, “or there will be no peace or order in the world. We desire peace, but not submission to the arrogant pretensions of a ‘master race’ to the erlavement of nations, to the destruction of civil liberties and tige regimentation of conscience.”
Cite Resulis of Defeat
“Victory for the axis powers would bring moral and spiritual disaster for their own people no less than those of the conquered nations.” As to the future, the statement stressed the need to make indus trial production the servant of the common good, renounced prejudice to color, class or race, sought the guidance of God in defeating the agressors and called for the establishment of a world order built by “men of good will.” Although many groups issue declarations of this kind, this one is considered by churchmen of topflight importance.

Church Sees News Value
Sov Proper Methods of Presenting It.
Some years ago, clergymen would have been appalled at the thought of “publicizing” religion. Laymen. as well, considered such an angle more or less. “degrading.” But in the last few years, a change has been taking place. Churchmen are anxious to keep the church in tempo with the times. They have. come not only to recognize the value of religious news but are casting about for means to best present it to the public. This week brought another instance of the progress which religious leaders are making in' the news field. It mwas the announcement by the Religious News Service of New York of a survey among secretaries ‘of city and state church councils and federations and publicity bureaus of the leading denominations.
Advocate Streamlining
The net of it all was that church listings in their present form are of dubious value and that news of general religious interest would better carry the story of religion to ‘the people. In other words, they were |advocating a. + “strearglining”.
From the publicity heads of the various denominations; the survey cted this general picture: “Listin their present form make the average church page dull and uninteresting. . . . The directory hardly serves to make the no-church-goers keenly interested in attending church services the following day. » « » The church ‘page should have reader interest for the unchurched as well as the regular churchgoers if it is to interest them in religious activities ‘both local and national.” .
Secretaries Differ
Replies received from secretaries of church federations and councils revealed that some favored the entire elimination of church service listings and sermon topics. The maJority voted for a reduction of listtings to a minimum. Many stressed that the space saved by cutting down on listings could be used to better advantage “if anything more appealing” could be substituted. Those who favored retention of the listings spoke for the smaller churches generally. As one secretary put it: “Because the church

member is proud to see his church listed.” :
