[C. M. Elderdice, in the Methodist Protestant Recorder, Bates, Maryland]

In a Labor Day message addressed specifically to farmer and labor groups, the Federal Council of Churches called on all economic groups, including employers and consumers, "to develop a broad understanding, a sympathetic attitude, a mutual loyalty and a spirit of confidence and good will." . . . The message reminded the church that "if nations, races, industry, labor, and farmers are to find a true basis of Christian democracy, it is her responsibility and privilege to sound in this hour the clarion call of brotherhood and lead mankind out of its present strife into the fellowship of Jesus Christ."
