Cooperation in Christian Education-prepared by Henry H. Meyer Being the Reports of the Council and its Commissions and Published for the FEDERAL COUNCIL OF THE CHURCHES OF CHRIST IN AMERICA by the MISSIONARY EDUCATION MOVEMENT NEW YORK To the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America: Your Commission on Relations with Japan was established in 1914. The subject matter with which it has dealt and the work it has already accomplished have proved so important that in addition to the immediate report of the commission which contains the actions for which it assumes responsibility there have been added in the appendix the more important pamphlets prepared by Dr. Gulick. These pamphlets give information in regard to American-Asiatic problems and the suggestions he has been making as to principles and policies which he believes will be helpful in their solution. This volume accordingly, with its complete bibliography on American-Japanese relations, constitutes a distinct contribution to the discussion of the new and difficult situation confronting the United States through her increasingly intimate contact with the peoples of the Far East. These are matters and problems that immediately concern the entire Christian constituency of the United States. Unless they familiarize themselves with the problems involved and insist that Christian principles shall dominate over selfish economic interests in relation to our international policies and legislation, the establishment of the kingdom of God in its world-wide aspects will be impossible. The great task laid upon the American churches of this generation is to Christianize America's international relations, policies, and practises. Respectfully submitted, HAMILTON HOLT, Chairman.
