MENNONITE BOARD OF MIS- SIONS AND CHARITIES “FOR THE YEAR 1941
By HG. Bender, Treas.
f In writing this summary we want to
begin with some of the things which were mentioned in last year’s write-up as being under way but not completed.
The Mexican work at La Junta, Colo., in charge of Bro. and Sister Da- vid ‘Castillo, is now nicely under way. The Board has purchased a church building in La Junta. This was owned by the Baptist Missionary Society and was in a poor state of repair. Now it is transformed into a comfortable place of worship for our Mexican folks. Lester Hershey took charge of the Mexican work in Chicago as a single man but during the year he became married... In order to provide a home for Bro. and Sister Hershey as well as for the two groups of workers at the Home Mission, the Home Mission dwelling was converted into three a- partments. This gives all our Chicago workers comfortable homes under the same roof. The Mexican work in Texas is steadily growing. The results in the three Mexican fields under the Board during the year are very en- couraging.
Last year’s summary called attention to the illness of Bro. Newton Weber,
then superintendent of Fort Wayne —
Mission. During the year the Weber family has moved to Springs, Pa., where Bro. Weber’s thealth has great- ly improved while pursuing a different type of work. Bro. and Sister Allen Ebersole, Elkhart, Ind., were appointed to fill the vacancy at Fort Wayne.
The death of Bro. J. D. Mininger who had faithfully served at Kansas City, Kans., for many years, made the seeking for new workers for this field necessary. Sister Mininger has moved to Goshen, Ind., where she is making her home with her son, Paul. Bro. William Smith, who had been a co-worker as deacon with Bro. Min- inger, was ordained minister and was
acting superintendent of the

Bro. and Sister Lauver, who had been serving at the Johnstown, Pa., Mission during an ex- tended furlough period, again returned to their work in South America. Bro. and Sister Samuel Miller are newly ap- - pointed and are now in the South America field. Occasional contribu- _ tions are being sent to Paraguay for ea missionary work among the Indians.

Mennonite Central Committee. Each - month we have been sending to the pee M.-C. C. $2,250 for European Relief and $500 for Relief among the Russian _ Mennonites“in Paraguay. This makes a a monthly total of $2,750.
Bt The Selective Service law has brought to us a new responsibility— financing camps for our boys. During the experimental period before so many boys were called, the cost of
maintaining these camps amounted to _ 350¢ per member according to the ie Yearbook membership report. The
cost for the second period, September, . _- 1941 to February, 1942, is estimated at is $1.00 per member. Our people have y been responding very nicely to this % financial need. We are confident they | will not fall down even though the load should become heavier on account of the larger number of inductees.
In ‘spite of the new calls for heavy contributions, our regular missionary offerings did not shrink. We are sin- 3 cerely hoping the missionary offerings will increase. Our great work is to i: _ bring the Gospel to a lost world. Our contributions for Relief and C. P. S. are only incidental. May we as Mennon- ites be found faithfully carrying out _ our Lord’s great commission when He comes, no matter how trying world conditions may be.

MENNONITE CENTRAL COM- | MITTEE
By H. Ernest Bennett Relief Work
Relief activities carried on by the Mennonite Central Committee were broadened during the past years to reach needy people in four foreign countries. The expansion of war a- reas and economic hardships caused by the war in other than combat areas have resulted in much suffering in many places. Food and clothing shortage has probably been one of the worst re- sults of the present conflict, and this growing need around us in the world led the Mennonite Church to send re- lief and relief workers to countries where such conditions existed. Relief
wwork'‘has not been an easy task, but we
are glad that there have been workers ready to go for service and also a church that has been willing. to sac- rifice to help in this cause. It is not the purpose of this report to give in any detailed form the many activities carried on in Mennonite relief work, but the few facts which follow will give a skeleton picture of what has happened and is now going on in Men- nonite Relief activities.
England
Relief work in England was first opened by Bro. Amos Swartzendruber during his inspection trip to Europe after the present war started. Since Bro. Swartzendruber’s contacts in Eng- land, Brethren Ted Claassen, John E. Coffman, and Peter Dyck have been sent there to carry on the work. Bro. Claassen, who was the first full-time English worker, returned to America in July, 1941. Activities being conducted in England are various and reach the needy in many places. The two main points from which work is carried on are London and Birmingham, with Bro. Coffman stationed in London and Bro. Dyck in Birmingham. At present the relief work is centered in four major
projects.
and girls from the city who have been forced to leave their homes due to bombing or lack of food. This home has been caring for more than forty children regularly during the past year.
2. From a clothing depot large quantities of clothing have been dis- tributed among the unfortunate in many sections of London and in other parts of England. Clothing for this depot is supplied by American Men- -nonites, and during the past year the Mennonite Central Committee sent to England clothing valued at $38,975.40.
3. Near Birmingham a home for old people is now in operation. The pur- pose of this home is to take from the cities old people whose homes have been bombed, and to give them a home and sufficient food out in the country away from air raids.
4. Another part of Mennonite relief in Birmingham is the operating of a Mobile Canteen which goes about the city giving out warm food and drinks, such as milk and tea, during and after air raids. To many a cold and hungry refugee this canteen has proved a real help.
Other activities of the ‘English work cannot be mentioned in detail, but such things as personal assistance to ref- ugees, and distributing Bibles among war prisoners is a part of the work. During the past year $26,641.13 in funds were sent to England by the Mennonite Central Committee to carry on the a- -bove program. It has been approved by the M. C. C. to continue a relief program of $3,000 monthly in England.
‘
France
From a small beginning in April, 1942, French relief activities by the
Mennonite churches have grown to a
large and varied program. During the past year four workers have returned from the field, and four new ones have been sent out. The returning workers
ea in their order were Edna Ramseyer,

distribution centers give out food pack- ages twice monthly to hundreds of families who have no other food sup- ply.
With these three projects as a base our workers are continuing to branch out their work to help many more. In France, the people most desperately in need are the thousands of refugees in concentration camps. It is planned to broaden our work in this field if world conditions do not necessitate a limiting or closing of our work in France. In all, over $39,000 was sent to France during the past year, plus one large shipment of clothing. Our French pro- gram will continue to operate with a monthly sending of at least $3,000.
Poland
Another country to which the Men- nonite Church has been sending help is Poland. Unfortunately it has been im- possible to carry on the extensive pro- gram there that has been possible in both France and England. This is due mostly to lack of supplies, and some restrictions in operation. Bro. M. C. Lehman has represented the Mennon- ite Central Committee in this field from its beginning and at present is still in
Germany. In light of America’s en- trance into the war, this work cannot continue. Bro. Lehman is expected to be given passage home along with the American embassy officials and news- papermen.
During the past year, Bro. Lehman conducted the following projects:
1. Large shipments of food and medicine were sent into Warsaw, Po- land, to be distributed among the chil- dren of that city. The distribution of this food was made possible through the assistance of local relief groups.
2. A program of sending food pack- ages from Berlin to Poland to needy families was carried on, and many fam- ilies assisted. Through this program some Mennonite homes, directly affect- ed by the war, were given help.
Paraguay
The most recent, and fourth field from which a call of help has come, and to which relief has been sent, is the Mennonite colony in Paraguay. Due to economic difficulties caused by the war, many of the Mennonite brethren in Paraguay have been in need of help, and when Bro. Orie Miller made a trip to Paraguay this past summer, arrange-

ments were made to send both workers
One of the most pressing needs was medical service. This need was met by sending Dr. John Schmidt of Newton, Kansas, to Par- aguay to assist in the hospital work. Dr. Schmidt is the only doctor in the colony at the present time. To assist Dr. Schmidt and to carry on other re- lief, the M. C. C. sent a second worker, Bro. Vernon Schmidt, who has just re- cently arrived in Paraguay. One of Vernon Schmidt’s first duties will be to assist in building a hospital in the Primavera Colony where the Hutterian Brethren from England settled.
The latest project in the Paraguay relief work was the sending of five tons of clothing from the Ephrata, Pa., de- pot to Paraguay which will be distrib- uted by Vernon Schmidt among the needy Mennonite homes. The budget set aside for this work is $1000 monthly.
One large part of the whole relief program, with which many in Amer- ica have come into closer contact, is the packing and sending of relief cloth- ing. Most of this work during the past year has been centered around the clothing depot at Ephrata, Pa. From its beginning this depot has been in
» charge of Sister Lydia Lehman, who _ has been doing her share of relief work at this end while Bro. Lehman has been —
working in Poland. During the past year over twenty-five tons of clothing have been baled, valued at $50,091.77. Besides this, large shipments of cloth- ing were packed and sent by the Men- nonite churches in Canada. The cloth- ing depot at Ephrata is one proof of the large amount of work contributed to relief by the women’s sewing circles of the Mennonite Church.
It will probably be of most value to close this report with a summary of the year’s work, and a review of what is now going on. Since last December nine new workers have gone to foreign fields for relief service. and three who were on the field before have returned home. are two workers in England, four in France, one in Germany, and two in

| THE DENVER MENNONITE
. MISSION
By P. A. Friesen, Superintendent
The Denver Mennonite Mission was officially opened July 1, 1941. How-
ever, the real beginning dates back to
the year 1938. It was at this time that a few individuals became very much
mention of the need was made in pray- er meeting and in a Sunday-school con- ference. Soon more people became in- terested and more praying was done
and finally the matter was placed be-
fore the district conference. As time went on, it was thought best to ap- proach the General Mission Board on the subject. The result was that at the Mission Board Meeting last spring, the General Mission Board decided to open a mission in Denver and in that same meeting appointed Sister Friesen and myself as workers for the Denver Mis- sion.
The first four months we lived in rented quarters and held our services in the Seventh Day Adventist old church
‘building, but this was not very satis-
factory. So the Mission Board pur-
interested in the city of Denver. First -

chased a Mission Home on 1218 Kal- amanth Street, and for the services the Denver congregation has rented a Mis- sion Hall on 1456 Lipan. This hall is only four blocks from the Mission Home. The local people have pledged themselves for the rent and upkeep of the Mission Hall. Our attendance now runs from thirty to fifty.
On December 21 we had our first communion service here in Denver. The number that participated in the communion was thirty-six. Three members could not be present on ac- count of sickness and for other rea- sons. In the evening the young peo- ple gave a fine Christmas program and at the close of the program, we took up an offering which amounted to $62. This money is to be put in the Denver Mennonite Church Building Fund. Our Mission Hall will soon be too small. We are badly in need of a church building. Two families that belong to the Brethren Church are al-
‘so worshiping with us, and two non-
Mennonite families have become inter- ested in our church. We are looking for great blessings in the new year and we ask an interest in your prayers.

MENNONITE YEARBOOK
ACTIVITIES OF EASTERN MEN- NONITE BOARD OF MIS- SIONS AND CHAR-
_ ITIES IN 1941
By Henry F. Garber, President
The year now past has brought tre- mendous changes in many ways in the nation and in the world, and our mis- sionary activities are influenced and colored by these events.
In a general way health among our missionaries at home and abroad has been good. The first death for many years among our workers must be re- corded this year. Anna Winters, one of our faithful workers for many years at Lancaster Vine Street Mission, fell asleep last summer.
The Colored work in Philadelphia has been carried on for some years un- der a considerable handicap as to loca- tion and building. During the year, surveys ‘have been made for a suitable location. There is a large Colored pop- ulation moving northward in the city. To meet this moving population of ‘Colored people a property was finally bought at the corner of Gratz and 1814 Diamond streets. At this writing al- terations are being planned so that a work can be opened here soon. It is expected that a pastor-superintendent will be located there by the time this is read.
At the Welsh Mt. Samaritan Home an addition was needed and built dur- ing the year at an approximate cost of $15,000. This addition takes care of a much crowded condition there.
General receipts for the year are pos- .sibly at an all-time high figure. The year is not quite over but receipts like- ly will reach $89,000. A good deal of this increase was due to World War IT. Our Board received and disbursed for European War Sufferers’ Relief. $15,- 000. Civilian Public Service Camps re- ceived another $15,000. General mis- sionary offerings are $2,000 higher than 1940, General Fund contributions are
$3,000 higher than 1940 amounting to ~
$19,000. Altogether there is an in- crease of giving along with the general improvement in business.
As ‘has been the practice for many
years a gathering of new and used ©
clothing was made at Mellinger’s Church this fall. A large amount was again received. This will be distribut- ed by the Mennonite Central Commit- tee in war-stricken countries.
On the African field there are now nineteen adult missionaries. Five are home on furlough. George and Dor- othy Smoker are new missionaries un- der appointment. They will sail with Elma Hershberger as soon as arrange- ments can be completed. The uncer- tainty of the times makes the date in- definite. There are fourteen mission- aries’ children on the field all less than five years of age. Health among the children is reported good. These grow- ing children force upon the Mission and the home board the problem of provid- ing school privileges for these children in a few years.
The native church is growing and presents a number of challenges to the home church, and the problems of the field call for much wisdom on the part of the missionaries and should call us to intercessory prayer on their behalf.
During the year the first missionary workers’ conference was held. It was a well-attended meeting and a much appreciated one, The program was worked out by the workers, and it is planned to call another such meeting next year.
By the grace of God the Church was
enabled during the year to press on in:
the various mission fields and to reap some ‘of the precious sheaves. The brotherhood has responded cheerfully in a financial way and we seek the prayers and material help of the
Church for the troublous days ahead, if — ie
the Lord tarries. Mt. Joy, Pa.

bers of the Church in making our ed- ucational institutions of more useful- ness to the Church.
During the past year a number of high marks have been reached in our educational program. For a number of years the faculty, students, alumni, and parents have been interested in having Goshen College an accredited institu- tion, considering this a distinct advan- tage. During the past year Goshen College has been accredited by the North Central Association, the most influential accrediting agency in the Middle West. This is especially grat- ifying since we are attempting to op- erate our schools in accordance with the standards and principles of the Mennonite Church, making them dis- tinctly church schools.
There are a number of distinct ad- vantages which accreditmént brings. It gives the institution public recogni- tion. The accrediting agency sets standards for improvements along scholastic lines and also in equipment. It makes it possible for students to transfer to other institutions of learn- ing and have their credits accepted without discount or difficulty. Grad- uating from accredited colleges helps the graduates in securing positions and especially is this true in the field of teaching.
For a number of years our colleges
have been granted annual accreditment _
to grant licenses in the teaching pro- fession, which required an annual in- spection by the state board. This year continuous for Goshen College and authorization has been given to grant licenses to teachers for the four-year elementary teacher training course and also in the follow- ing fields for high schools: English, mathematics, French, Latin, music,
German, speech, two options in com-
merce, three options in social studies,
four options in sciences, and regular
and special home economics.
As a Board we ata to AEE ES
that it requires the ited effort of all concerned to make this possible.
During the past year additions have been made by the way of new equip- ment, new buildings, and campus im- provement. Goshen ‘College has added an annex to Coffman Hall which is to serve as a home for one of the mem- bers of the faculty. He is to have a part in the direction of student life in this dormitory.
Hesston has acquired the Cooprider property, located near the campus, has done some needed remodeling, and is using it as a dormitory for men. These projects were made _ possible through the co-operation of the Men- nonite Finance Corporation. The cost of these projects is to be included over a period of years in the budgets of the schools. Hesston College has also add- ed an Industrial Arts building to its campus equipment. This cost was met by special subscription for this partic- ular purpose.
Another feature of this year’s work is the sending out of an occasional let- ter to all Board members informing them about the activities of the Exec- utive Committee between sessions of the Board. The schools are also send- ing out to all Board members copies of their publications.
The Church has definitely committed herself to an educational program. This is recognized by the fact that General Conference and a large number of dis- trict conferences have on their minutes items recognizing the need of provid- ing schools for our youth that they might obtain higher education under Christian influences. She has also com- mitted herself in the fact that the Board is composed largely of members ap- pointed by General Conference and the ;several district conferences.
‘Since this is true, it is the part of ‘every member to take his place in the work of the Board. Our work is more than just to look on, but we can help in prayer, in constructive criticism, and in faithful attendance to the duties en- joined upon us by the fact of our elec-

1941-1942 will go down in history as — years of a building program at East- a ern Mennonite School. It was begun in re | the summer of 1940 when a 30’ by 42” annex at the cost of $3000 was added to the Home Economics building. This — annex affords two rooms for art ante i recitation, respectively. The Industrial Arts building is the first new building — 4 to be completed. It is a two-story brick | 4 a structure 40’ by 56’ facing east on — Smith Avenue with separate rooms on a first floor for farm shop, ceramics, a- quarium, storage, furnace, photography, finishing and cloak room; and on the second, for drawing and woodwork. The. general science and agriculture . laboratory is also located in this build ing. At this writing the north annex of the administration building is near- ing completion.

r - the Routh annex will be used for dining
hall. With additional eastern and southern window space the enlarged
‘halt promises to be most delightful and
attractive. The biological laboratory is being moved to the corresponding a- rea of the new annex basement, and the chemical laboratory to the north- west portion. Both will have more commodious quarters. The first floor will be used for library and reading room. Temporarily the west portion of it will afford study room space for day students. Forty-four students will be accommodated in the new dormitories of the second and third floors, together ‘with infirmary capacity for eight beds.
The library promises to be most de- sirable in every respect. A mezzanine 18’ deep extends the full length of the south portion of the library room and will be used for offices, book stacks, and historical library room. Ideal light- ing is provided by unobstructed win- dows on the east, north, and west sides
_ of the room. Great care has been used
in planning the room so that it will serve as an efficient library.
Two new Kewanee furnaces with stokers replace the three old ones and are supplying ample heat for the en-
tire administration building.
Excavation for the basement of the new auditorium 72’ by 110’ in size has
been done. Much of the steel, bricks, and lumber is already on the grounds. The work of building will begin as soon as men can be released from the north annex. The basement of the auditorium will be arranged for chapel space for regular chapel exercises and smaller public meetings together with a music room, a couple classrooms, cloak rooms, and lavatories. The main auditorium will accommodate one thousand people and the gallery four hundred.

This enrollment shows a great in- crease in all years of the high school together with moderate growth of the Bible School and Junior College.
This increase of enrollment taxes the faculty to the very limit. In addi- tion to the new head of the English department in the person of Bro.

Mumaw who did splendid work in this field is now devoting his entire teach- ing time to the department of Christian Education and Practical Theology.
Among the special features of the school program this year is a series of weekly Vesper Chats centering in home building. In addition to regular fac- ulty members, speakers from the com- munity and from a distance are bring- ing vital messages on courtship, mar- riage, and the home. ~
Student personnel work is being giv- en special study by a faculty commit- tee with the view of rendering more efficient personal attention to each stu- dent. A task long delayed of defining duties of officers of the faculty and of standing committees, etc., is about com- pleted. Other studies are being carried on with the view of safeguarding the school against dangerous trends and of building up a better and more effective school program.
With all the progress that might be noted, it is needful to give God proper glory and praise for the blessings be- stowed upon the institution. In numer- ous instances in the building program especially we have noted what can be explained in no other way than that the hand of the Lord was in the work. When we note that for a number of years a heavy debt was resting on the institution and that this was lately paid and funds made available for such an extensive building program, we turn with grateful hearts to God the Giver of good gifts to man.
These blessings bring increased re- sponsibilities and challenge board and faculty to greater sacrifice, increased loyalty to Christ and the Church, and more strenuous effort to continue to conduct the school in a way that is pleasing to Him. Harrisonburg, Va.

OUR PUBLISHING WORK
By A. J. Metzler, General Manager of Mennonite Publishing House
The Mennonite Publication Board and its: agent, the Mennonite Publish- ing House, at Scottdale, Pa., continue to enjoy the growing support and co- operation of all parts of the Mennonite Church at home and abroad. It is the first general church board to have rep- resentatives appointed by and from each conference. This co-operation is a genuine challenge to the Board and House to serve more effectively their
constituency. Furthermore, this work- |
ing together in itself is a real blessing in» unifying and strengthening every part of our church. It is unnecessary to call our readers’ attention to the present national and international situation with its conse- quent result on commercial, industrial, and social conditions. The physical part of our publishing interests is di-
rectly affected by this to some extent.
The question of availability of material, prices, transportation, and similar prob- lems indeed present great uncertainties. In most lines prices are on a steady in- crease. Publishers have not'been ex- empt from-the effects of this. How- ever, it is our earnest desire to main- tain prewar rates on subscriptions and books as long as possible. The prompt payment of all obligations and increas- ed purchases by our constituency will aid us to this end.
It is gratifying to see’ an increased production of books by Mennonite au- thors. The following are some pub- lished during the past year:
Fifty Years in the Mennonite Church —__

117 Object Lessons—S. G. Shetler and Sanford Shetler.

Book sales continue to increase. The three divisions of our sales are mail or- der, bookstores, and field representa- tives. The mail order method is our oldest and continues to be the largest outlet. The five retail stores are lo- cated as follows: Scottdale, New Hol- land, Lancaster, Souderton, and Kitch- ener, Ont. Our field representatives are a newer type of sales service but seem to be appreciated greatly. This service enables many folks to make a personal selection of the books desired.

is two-story, 32x70 feet, with two storerooms on the first floor and four apartments on the second. The larger of the two storerooms is used for the bookstore. This gives our bookstore both more commodious quarters and a better location nearer the center of the business district. The building brings ‘appropriate returns to the Board.
The total circulation of our regular publications is enjoying a _ splendid growth. The following is the circula- tion of our regular weekly and monthly publications as of January 1, 1942:
Gospel Herald—13,968 . Christian Monitor—6,745
Youth’s Christian Companion—20,505
Words of Cheer—15,944
Beams of Light—11,335
The Way—70,867 The total circulation of our Sunday- school quarterlies including picture cards and rolls is now nearly 150,000 each quarter.
While from a material standpoint the .
future is filled with uncertainties, yet in view of the Lord’s past blessings and His promises for the future, we go forth in faith in Him and His Church, believing the publishing interests of the church have the greatest opportunities and challenge for service right now. There was never a time in the history of the Mennonite Church when the need for good literature was as imper- ative as now. Every wide-awake par-
- ent and pastor is keenly conscious of
this need. May every one of us ded- icate ourselves anew, under God, to the great task of supplying this need for the home and church of today and to- morrow until He comes.
Scottdale, Pa:
“God says you are to watch as well as pray. Suppose you pray that God would give you the victory over some besetting sin, and that you neglect to watch against that sin, and to cut off every temptation to its indulgence, as far as you can, you cannot expect God to answer your prayer. God will do nothing for us that we can do for our- selves.”

IN ACTION >
By C. L. Graber, Treasurer
The year 1941 was an unprecedented year in the history of the Church. This is the first time the United States has. had peacetime conscription for military training. It has been the major task of the committee to work out the prob- lems arising out of this condition. & oe
Since the Canadian Conscription — Law is somewhat different from the — a United States law, the Canadian sec- a tion of the committee has dealt chiefly. with the Canadian aspects of the prob- lem and the United States section with — the United States aspects of it. Dur- ing the whole year Canada was at war with the Axis countries while the Unit- ed States was not formally at war, This made the problems different. How- a ever, the attitude of the Church in the two countries is the same. While the Canadian government granted “indef- . inite postponement” to draftees holding conscientious scruples against training for either combatant or noncombatant service, nevertheless, the historic peace _ churches worked out with their gov- ernment officials a plan whereby those _ holding such a view could serve the — country by giving a term of service for a like period of time in building of roads and related projects as an alter- native to training in an army camp. The men serve at a reduced pay of 50° cents per day, while the government furnishes transportation, housing, food, medical care and_ supervision. The churches are permitted at their own ex- pense to provide a religious supervisor

ness manager usually is one of the draftees who has had some experience
to qualify him for the task. The rou- tine camp work-is done by the boys
themselves. The director is responsi- ble for the camp. In practically all cases he is an ordained minister, and besides organizing and operating the camp, he is also the pastor and plans the religious activity of the camp. The
educational director is in charge of the
educational and recreational program for the boys. He has a difficult task -because the training level of the camp boys varies so much. Some have only
an eighth grade education while others
have college degrees. The matron acts
as Mother to the boys looking after general order and cleanliness as well as | supervising the infirmary. The dieti- ‘tian plans and serves all the meals.
She has to keep an accurate detailed cost account, and operate ona food budget of not more than 42 cents per day per man. The business manager is in direct contact with the treasurer

are willing, of course, to take the camps over but in that case the church- es could not control the discipline and the religious activity.
So far, two chief types of work have been approved by Selective Service. These are soil conservation work and forestry work. The first has to do with such things as building of retaining walls across gullies, terrace building on sloping hillsides to prevent erosion, and planting of grass and bushes. In the forestry work there is the planting and cultivating of nursery stock for replanting after proper size has been attained and the care and protection of wild life. No-+ doubt other types of work will be approved and undertaken ~ as time goes on.
On October 24, 1941, the Peace Prob- lems Committee called a meeting at the Mennonite Home Mission in Chi- cago to which were invited responsible leaders of the Church from East, West, North and South. The whole problem of Civilian Public Service was placed before these brethren and the implica- tions of the whole set-up were faced. While some weaknesses in the program were recognized, yet the body was unanimous in support of the program as it is being carried on and a strong sentiment was expressed in favor of keeping the camps under church direc- tion by making every effort to raise sufficient funds to make this possible.
During the year difficulties arose in connection with the classification of registrants under certain Local Draft Boards. The regional counsellors were retained; namely, Amos Horst, Akron, Pa., for region east of Ohio; D. A. Yo- der, Elkhart, Indiana, for the region from Ohio to the Mississippi River; and H. A. Diener for the region west of the Mississippi. The committee co-op- erated directly with these brethren and other local ministers where specific dif- ficult problems arose. The State Di- rectors of Selective Service were con- tacted in most states where our people are numerous and with good result. In practically every case all deserving men are given proper classification; not al-

ways without some difficulty of hear- r ing and appeal, but finally in every . case so far as we know.
During the year the Pedce page in
the Gospel Herald once each month
was continued under the pen of Bro. Edward Yoder of Scottdale, Pa. The committee published numerous circu- lars and letters on the current registra-
tion and classification problems. These .
were sent to all our pastors and bish- ops in order to keep everyone inform- ed and to enable us to take a united stand. More of this will be needed and will be cared for as becomes necessary.
Just as the year draws to a close new and enormous problems arise. War has been declared on Japan, Ger- many, and Italy. The possessions of the United States have been attacked with loss of life and property. Public sentiment has changed. A new law ask- ing for the registration of all men be- tween the ages of 18 and 65 is before Congress. The law makes all men be- tween 21 and 45 liable for national service. What this will mean to non- resistant people, no one can now fore- see. As in the past, the Peace Prob- lems Committee is studying the new situation and with the help of the church leaders and under Divine guid- ance will endeavor to propose a course of action when the proper time comes to preserve our historic testimony of peace according to the Scripture and yet to be obedient citizens of the state as much as possible. For the consid- eration of a friendly government we are most grateful and it is our deep desire to live so as to merit this continued consideration. May God grant that this will be so.
At the meeting of the General Con- ference in August, 1941, the member- ship of the Peace Committee was en- larged to include six brethren in the United States and four in Canada. There will be more work to do and This enlarged

Accordingly a revision of the teacher training course has been un- dertaken. It is intended that the re- vised course shall include offerings that will interest every member of the local congregation. It is hoped that the final outline of such a Christian workers’ course will make a new and stronger appeal to our congregations. Missionary Education
The Commission continues to func- tion conjointly with the Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities in the production of bulletins encouraging the observance of Missionary Day and the promotion of missionary investments a- mong juniors. The promotion of Youth Missionary Projects has result- ed in an increased number of groups participating in projects ‘designed to raise funds for missionary purposes.
Young People
During the past year the Commis- sion has sponsored the preparation of a series of booklets under the general title, “Our Youth For Christ.” The subjects treated in these booklets are: “Christian Assurance”; “Finding a Life Vocation”; “Finding My Place in Christian Service”; “Growing into Life and Love”; “Love in Courtship”; and, “Youth Building Christian Homes.” It is hoped that the wide circulation which these booklets have already enjoyed will help to meet some of the issues related to the life of youth. Through- out the year a large number of young people’s questionnaires have been ad-
ministered in the interests of ascer-
taining the actual status of young peo- ple in the Mennonite Church. The re-
nie ‘sults of this questionnaire are published i

Young People’s Institutes continue to serve our youth in encouraging the
development of. spiritual life among
youth and in giving definite guidance to their lives. The Commission also encourages the sponsoring of youth conferences by local congregations.
The Home
With the publication of “Worship in the Home,” the Commission took an- other formal step toward the encour- agement of family worship in the home. There has been a large distribution of this booklet throughout the Church and it continues to serve a place in the en- couragement of family altars.
At the meeting of General Confer- ence held in Iowa, formal action was taken in assigning the study of home relations and the promotion of Chris- tian teaching in the home to the Com- mission. Accordingly the Commission has made provision for the study and careful outlining of some method of procedure that will meet the present needs of revitalizing the home influence for Christ and the Church.
Church and Sunday-school Libraries
In the 1941 Commission Handbook appears a list of books which provides Sunday-school librarians and library committees with suggestions for the purchasing of Christian literature for their church and Sunday school. This continues to be featured in the 1942 Commission Handbook with new list- ings. The Commission, in co-operation with the Publishing House, is interest- ed in watching for new publications which will be usable among our con- stituency.
Field Workers’ Conference
A Field Workers’ Conference spon- sored by the Commission was held in May of last year at Hesston, Kansas. The success of this meeting has led the Commission to plan for another such meeting in hopes that it will be a regular feature among our church ac- tivities. ;

THROUGH CIVILIAN PUB- - LIC SERVICE
t By John H. Mosemann, Camp Director at Grottoes, Va.
Our young men have assumed an im- portant role in our church life. Our church’s testimony (as far as nonre- sistance is concerned) has been taken away from the ministry and is now in the power of young men who are called to give a service alternate to military — training. No matter what our testimo- ny is from the pulpit, the life witness of young men in camps is the mould in — ‘. which much of our present-day testi- mony is cast. Not what we are declar- ing today, but the preaching of the past —

day. Perhaps no better test could be applied to our teaching ministry than a that which the present cross section of men in camp reveals. But this fact is one of the outstanding benefits of our present camp program. ‘aad
But the young men in camp ; are noes only the occasion of- benefit to the a? Church; they, too, realize certain help- ful experiences all of which serve to enrich the life which is open to such i in- fluences. “
Our youth today who are of diaree a age are learning something of sac a Homes, jobs, associations, liberties are sacrificed in this camp service. It is a, : financial sacrifice, a social sacrifice, but a we attempt to prevent it from being a . spiritual sacrifice. But even these sac- — rifices are eclipsed by those undertaken — i by the soldier boys. They are eclipsed ae 4 by the sacrifices embraced by our fa- thers. And, shall we exempt our n= worthy selves from any severe cost in maintaining our Spirit-born conta tions? Sexe

communities. They work together, eat together, live together, worship togeth- er. They cannot get away from each other. Nor would they want to! As- sociations formed in this experience have already proved of inestimable val-
ue to many, and we anticipate many
others are due a good share of this dis- tinct benefit.
Another element in the blessing
which we know is that of service. Our
country has long provided for our en- joyment of religious privilege. It is un- der no obligation to do so. Our con- stitution provides for this liberty—that is true. But constitutions change and are amended. Intolerance frequently supplants good judgment, and what one generation enjoys may be denied the next. But having enjoyed religious liberty and protection in our worship, we are now faced with the opportunity of rendering a free service to our coun- try in a token of gratitude for what we have been able to enjoy freely. Let our service be a cheerful, ungrudging one!
To be sent to a camp also should serve to have young men rethink their whole spiritual philosophy. Why are we Christian? How valid is my atti-
tude toward war and military service? How fundamental to life is my reli- gious belief? Is the C. O. position worth a year or two or more of payless serv- ice? Why are we here? What’s wrong
with war? What’s wrong with defend- ing yourself against aggression? These and many other problems ought to be resolved in the days that a young man spends in a C. P. S. camp. .
Not the least among the assets accru-
ing to young men who are privileged
to serve in camp is the regular, routine order of the day which is of great dis- ciplinary value. Many lives are aimless and purposeless. They move in care- less, impetuous cycles. But, here in camp, life must move more or less in regular fashion and schedule. Many of us are together which calls for more understandings.
Many folks go through life without ever learning to live together in a con- genial way. Strong personalities usu- ally succeed in having others bend their way, and they get along simply because others acquiesce. We are levelled here in camp, the mighty with the meek. Part of our discipline is to learn to live together happily and helpfully. It is not easy to forfeit frequently our own way and desire. But for the good of all, we learn to bear and forbear.
Yes, there are benefits to C. P. S. Camp. life. There are always blessings in any way God would choose for us. And, in this experience, we are sure the returns will be worthy of Him who knows the way we take.

22 ? MENNONITE YEARBOOK
SIMON MENNO KANAGY—AN APPRECIATION
By S. C. Yoder
With the passing of Simon Kanagy, beloved missionary, pastor, and man of prayer, the Mennonite Church has lost an able expounder of the Scripture and a loyal defender of the truth; his con- gregation has lost a loving counsellor and a faithful shepherd; and I have lost a helpful friend and an esteemed Christian brother.
Our acquaintance began at the An- nual Meeting of the Mennonite Board of Missions and Charities held at North Lima, Ohio, in 1918, but it was during his connection with Hesston College as a teacher that I learned to know him more intimately and our early acquaint- ance grew into an intimate and broth- erly fellowship that became more firm as the years went by. It was during _his tenure on the faculty of Hesston College that I was privileged to serve on the staff as instructor during the Winter Bible School, and those six weeks of association with men of a virile Christian faith and wide experi- ence did much for me in those forma- tive days of my ministry.
I was first attracted to Brother Ka- nagy through his prayers. It seemed that Christ, who was his all in all, had answered his petition and taught him - to pray. His prayers were clear, spe- cific, definite, and filled with adoration. In the pulpit he was an able preacher. Christ was the center of his thought and exposition. His sermons were scholarly, his language refined but sim- ple, and his thought was always stim- ulating.
It was as pastor that he excelled. He was the kind sympathetic friend to ev- ery member, old and young. During a series of meetings which I held in his church about eight months previous to his death, I accompanied him on his home to home visits. He knew all the children by name and spoke a word of encouragement to each one. I thought then, “How fortunate is the congrega-
tion that has such a pastor.” He was uncompromising in his attitude toward sin but he had learned to speak the “truth in love,” and was able to re- prove, rebuke, and exhort with all long- suffering and doctrine.
Brother Kanagy brought into his ministry a type of culture that was much needed in his day. He was one of the few men of his generation that had completed a course of study at a large university and received a degree and remained in the church. Though he was learned in the knowledge of his time, he remained the humble servant of Christ to whom he gave not only his training and his knowledge but also his life and his soul. It seemed that he had no aspiration for ecclesiastical authority or positions. remain a preacher of the Gospel and a shepherd of the spiritual needs of men.
He was a man that loved the out of doors. The sunshine, the clouds, and the stars were his friends. He enjoyed living close to the soil and liked to work with living, growing things. The fields of grain, the trees and flowers on the hills of God, and the song of the birds held for him an irresistible charm to which he gave frequent expression in his conversation as well as in his

Now his work is done. He sleeps under the stars of the blue Canadian sky he loved so well, hard-by the church to which he gave his last strength.

No doubt there are numbers—some per- haps in the pulpit—who received their inspiration from the Word as_ he preached it, or from hours of fellow- ship in prayer in the quietness of his study when problems of the soul were settled at the Throne of Grace.

JOHN HORSCH, 1867—1941
John Horsch was born December 18, 1867, at Giebelstadt, Bavaria, Germany, and died at his home in Scottdale, Pa., on Tuesday morning, October 7, 1941, after a lingering illness, at the age of seventy-three years, nine months and twenty days. He was born the son of Bishop Jacob Horsch of Giebelstadt. His Grandfather Horsch had also been a minister and bishop in the Mennonite Church. His mother was Barbara Lan- des Horsch.
His father moved to Gelchsheim, Ba- ‘varia, in 1871, but continued to serve the congregation at Giebelstadt. John attended public school at Gelchsheim from 1874 to 1882. From 1882 to 1884 he assisted his father on the farm. From 1884 to. 1886 he attended the Ba- varian State Agricultural School and graduated from that institution.
Early in life he took a great interest in the history of the Mennonite Church. At the age of fifteen he learned of Dr. Ludwig Keller, a noted Anabaptist his- torian at Munster, and immediately be- gan a correspondence with Dr. Keller on historical matters which continued for more than five years. Much of his thorough knowledge of the details of the history of the Anabaptists was ac-
quired by intensive study far into the
_ night after the day’s work on the farm
was completed. His. ae ta in’ the Mennonite

to this country rather than to take up compulsory -military training. He crossed the ocean on a Dutch ship, spent his twentieth birthday at sea, and landed in New York, January 3, 1888.
At his parental home he had become acquainted with the “Herold der Wahr- heit,” which was published at Elkhart, Indiana, by the Mennonite Publishing Company. He accordingly decided to go there to try to find work at that publishing house under John F. Funk. However, Funk had no opening for him early in 1888, and so he went to Halstead, Kansas, where his cousin, also named John Horsch, was employ- ed on a farm. During that winter he attended the Indian Mission School at Halstead and learned the English lan- guage. Since.his ambition was to get into Christian publication work, he kept in touch. with Bro. Funk at Elk- hart and in May, 1888, the latter asked him to come back to Elkhart to work as assistant editor and German proof- reader at the publishing house, which he did. He joined the Mennonite Church at Elkhart shortly thereafter, transferring from the Giebelstadt (Germany) Mennonite Church,. where he had been baptized in 1882 at the age of fifteen. ; Baty
During the years 1888 to 1892 he at- tended various colleges but worked at the publishing house at Elkhart dur- ing the summer months. He continued his editorial work with the “Herold der Wahrheit” for some time.
On: September 26, 1893, at Elkhart, Indiana, he married Christine Funk of Schloss Neipperg, Wurttemberg, Ger- many. John F. Funk officiated at the ceremony. To this union were born four, children: Elizabeth, Walter, Men- no, and Paul. His passing is the first break in this family circle.
Early in 1908 M. S..Steiner visited Bro. Horsch and as a result of this visit he was invited by Aaron Loucks to join the editorial staff at the newly estab-
lished Mennonite Publishing House at Scottdale. This offer was gladly ac- cepted, and in May 1908, he started his

He remained in the active employ of
the Publishing House until the spring of 1940, when the pressure of his active
life became too great and made it nec-
essary to relinquish some of his work
just at the time when he was complet- ing the book on European Mennonite
Church History, the writing of which °
had been assigned to him by the Men- nonite General Conference. John Horsch was considered the best
authority in the Mennonite Church on various phases of our church history. In Elkhart he built up, before 1895, what at that time was the most com- plete library on Mennonite History in — When he came to Scott- the Publishing House manage- ment. authorized him to continue his

dom and Loyalty”; “Symposium on War”; “The Background and Heritage of the Mennonite Church’; “War and . the Christian Conscience” (two edi- tions); “Is Dr. Kuehler’s Conception of Early Dutch Anabaptism Historically Sound?” Besides these he wrote a great many articles in both English and Ger- man which have been historical and “in defense of the Faith,” and which ap- peared in many and varied periodicals.
Bro. Horsch was a member of the Historical Committee of General Con- ference from its establishment in 1911 until his death. He also served on the Church Polity Committee and the Ad- visory Hymns Committee of General Conference.
As a theologian and church histo- rian, Bro. Horsch has rendered ines- timable service to the cause of Christ. —Gospel Herald.
