#001 The Worlds Congress Auxiliary Scrapbook, p. 0849
pale of Christian instruction and influence, as a mutually good understanding
among those of every name who believe in the Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man."
Professor Philip Schaff, D.D., of New York, expresses the hope
that such an international and inter-denominational Religious Congress "will
not only exhibit the religious progress of the world, but contribute also to a
better mutual understanding and ultimate reunion of the various branches of
Christendom."
Professor M. Valentine, D.D., of the Theological Seminary of
Gettysburg, writes: No feature of the Columbian Exposition awakens my
interest more strongly than the proposed Auxiliary Congresses. These Con-
gresses will help to hold attention to the supreme realities and interests
involved in the ethical and spiritual progress and life of the world. Most
desirable does it seem to be that these Congresses shall bring together and
leave in permanent form better and fuller data of facts and statistics than now
collected, for a correct world-view in these respects."
The venerable Professor Edwards A. Park, D.D., LL. D., of Andover,
in accepting membership in the Advisory Council, writes: "I shall feel very
happy if I can perform any work in furtherance of the far-reaching design of
the Council. I stand amazed at the greatness of Chicago, the largeness of its
plans and the comprehensiveness of its Exposition appointed for 1893."
Rev. Francis E. Clark, D.D., President of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, writes: "It seems to me that the idea of Religious Par-
liaments to be held in 1893, is one of the happiest conceptions that has yet
been suggested in connection with the World's Fair. What an influence will
such Congresses as these have upon the religious world! I believe most
heartily that the Columbian Exposition may be used legitimately and power-
fully in this way to advance the cause of true religion throughout the earth."
You will be glad to learn that Dr. Clark is purposing a trip around the world
during this year, and that he will, at our suggestion, promote the plans for
the World's Parliament in Europe, Asia and Australia.
Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston, writes: "I congratulate you upon the
progress of your work for the World's Parliament of Religions. You may
rely upon my doing all in my power to promote its usefulness. It seems to
me essential that all the chief utterances should be written, or else reported
and published without revision. The world wants a thoroughly accurate
record of what is actually said."
Professor George Harris, D.D., of Andover, writes: "It is of great
importance that America should interpret her material greatness, both as to the
cause and use of it, by impressing all with what Religion is doing in the real
progress of the world."
Dr. William Hayes Ward, of The Independent, writes: "It seems
eminently proper that there should be some exhibition made, not only of
material products, but of moral and religious thought and progress."
Dr. Lyman Abbott, of The Christian Union, writes of the proposed
Parliament: "The plan is broad, liberal, Christian."
