Book excerpt: Excerpt from Growing Pains in Russia These are therefore days when the great Christian churches of America should lead in the effort to uphold our President in his policy of disinterested friendship for Russia. That policy. If fully adhered to. Would never have permitted a single American soldier to land on Rus sian soil. Military intervention creates more enmity than it conquers. Second to understanding sympathy and a disposition to reserve judgment. Christian statesmanship demands from us the support of every effort to aid Rus sia economically and educationally at the present time. Aid of that sort is the best religious and moral help we can give them now. The American Red Cross, The Young Men's and Young \vomen's Christian Associa tions. The War Trade Board. Which should become insome form or other, a Peace Trade Board, and the Corps of American railroad'engineers in Russia are the kind of agencies America may depend upon to express ef fectively our friendly attitude and our desire to help in every right way. We cannot ship to Russia a hundred thousand tons of national integrity any more than a big brother can give three pounds of character to his way ward companion. That must be self-won. Nor is-this any time for any missionary board in America to think of entering Russia. In my mind, it is doubtful whether it will ever be wise for Protestant or Catholic m1581onar1es to enter Russia except on the basis of a friendly. Under standing with the representatives of the Russian Church. The issues at stake are too momentous to be complicated further by sectarian ambition under the guise of mission ary enthusiasm. We should trust the Lord to make it very plain when Russia 'needs more sectarianismssthan it already has.
