Mr. Fred Smith iz Shanghai: His Views on War, Past, Present and Future Mr. Fred Smith, a trustee of the Federal Board of Churches in America and a prominent member of the World Alliance of Churches, gave an address on the need for world peace at the Union Church on Thursday evening. Mr. 8. Cunningham, Consul-General for the U.S., presided over a large gathering.
Mr. Smith said he had the privilege, as a member of the Federal Board, of officially re presenting 27,000,000 Christians. Ag a member of the World Alliance he was authorized to found a com-committee to represent that body in China. A little group was to be organized to keep its eye on international friendship.
"In company with 110 delegates from the Board, I had the honour of an interview with President Harding before leaving America,' the speaker continued. "I asked him to send a word of friendship to every country I should visit. With a tenderness that one did not as-societe with his nature, he pleaded that, in the name of the Christian faith, we should carry good will round the world."
