Book Description

Excerpt from The World's Student Christian Federation: Origin, Objects and Significance of the Federation; The Convention at Northfield and Williamstown; Some Achievements of the First Two Years The chief significance Of the Federation is in its unifying power. It is doing much to unify the plans and methods of Christian work among students in different countries. More over, it is uniting in effort and in spirit as never before the students of the world. It is helping to unite the nations by stronger and more enduring bonds than arbitration treaties, because it is fusing together by the omnipotent Spirit of Christ the students who are to be the leaders of the nations. In this time of wars and rumors of wars, this Federation signifies that, so far as the student class is concerned, there is no Britain and no America, no France and no Germany, no China and no Japan, but Christ is all and in all. Furthermore, in these days when so much is being said and written about Christian unity, this Federation, by uniting the students Of some seventy lead ing branches of the all-embracing Church of Christ, is demon strating in the most practical manner that There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father Of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
