ALEX MAITLAND MAY 8 06 INTRODUCTION. THE programme of the International Christian Conference held in connection with the World's Columbian Exposition, and under the direction of the Evangelical Alliance, was divided into four general subjects, as follows: I. The Religious Condition of Protestant Christendom. III. Christian Union and Co-operation. IV. The Church and Social Problems. The discussions under the first three general divisions and nearly a third of those under the last belonged to the General Conference and are contained in the first volume of the report. The remainder belonged to the Section Conferences and, with the exception of the discussions on Social Purity (for men only) which are not published, are found in this volume. The addresses of the Section Conferences were of a less formal character than those of the General Conference. This was especially true of the conference on Theological Education, the discussions of which were in large measure impromptu. It should be added that on account of the imperfect report of this and of several other conferences some portion of the matter had to be cut out. The sessions of the Section Conferences were presided over by Rev. Joachim Elmendorf, D.D., Mr. R. R. McBurney, President W. De W. Hyde, D.D., Professor Graham Taylor, D.D., Mr. John Paton, Mr. Anthony Comstock, Rev. E. H. Byington, Rev. Willard Parsons, Mrs. Charles Henrotin, Mrs. E. W. Blatchford, and Mrs. Lucy Rider Meyer, M.D. |
