“This volume is not simply for so-called church people but has much suggestion for all who are facing the problems of our time. Such readers may have to do some skipping, for there are pages here reminiscent of the missionary tract of our childhood, and they will have to do a good deal of translating.”

COMMITTEE ON THE WAR AND THE RELIGIOUS OUTLOOK. Religion among American men, as revealed by a study of conditions in the army. *$1.50 Assn. press 261
20–5049
“This volume is one of a series of studies that is being brought out by the Committee on the war and the religious outlook. The committee was constituted, while the war was still in progress, by the joint action of the Federal council of the churches of Christ in America and the General war-time commission of the churches and was an expression of the conviction that the war had laid upon the churches the duty of the most thorough self-examination.” (Editorial preface) The book, which corresponds in aim and method to the British work “The army and religion,” is based on answers to questionnaires, personal interviews, letters, articles in the religious press, etc. It is in three parts: The state of religion as revealed in the army; The effect of the war on religion in the army; Lessons for the church.
“These pages ought to be before every church or convention that is planning to serve the nation through the organized church.”
