Christian Faith on Decline
In Countries of Latin-America
PANAMA, Feb. 12—A complete col
lapse of the Christian faith in Latin-
America was declared to be impending
in a report submitted today to the Con
gress on Christian Work in Latin-Am
erica by the Commission on Survey and
Occupation.
The report declared that in all the (
southern republics practically uni
versal unbelief exists as far as mod
ern learning has proceeded. The Com
mission asserts that the people iu
each of the several countries may be
roughly divided into four classes. A
violent anti-clerical party, many of
whom, carry their opposition to religion
of every form; the more or less well
reasoned skeptics and atheists who
look indulgently upon religion as
harmless for women and for the lower
classes, but who are themselves in
different to its claims; the “dissatis
fied, if not disillusioned and groping
companies of souls who soon pass on
to cynicism and hardness of heart;’’
those whose period of doubt and
■breaking away is ahead of them as
they are overtaken by free education.’ I
Surprise of Skepticism.
The report says that a surprising
number o fth women are beginning to
share the skepticism of their husbands
and that theosophy, spiritism
arid similar cults are rapidly taking
the place of Christianity in numerou*
sections. In Bolivia alone, it is claim
er, three-fourhs of the members of
Congress and the well-to-do business
men and nearly all of the government
students are sworn enemies of the
ehurch while similar conditions pre
vail in practically all the sister re
publics.
Reviewing the difficulties which
confront missionaries to Latin-Amer
ica the report lays the blame for many
of the evil conditions which it enum
erates ,and drunkenness in particular',
to the influence of many American
and other foreign business agents who
have invaded the southern countries
in search of trade.
“The sordid commercial standards,”
it says, “which too many foreign bus
iness men have adopted will serve
long to keep humble and silent their

observing and untempted fellow na
tionals. If bribes have been taken by
Latins they have been given often by
foreigners. Where industrial injus
tice is intrenched many representa
tives of foreign capital also com
piacently profit by it. Common honor
■ demands that wherever one race de
strovs character in another it shall
stTek to upmiild. The character
building forces of nations that export
the products of their breweries and
distilleries and other agents of de
bauchery may not remain insular in
their autreach. When neutral or evil
personalities go from one nation tj
another the sending forth of a few
hundreds embodying that nation’s
finest spiritual and moral sense is dic
tated by the consideration of national
self-respect.”
The commission finds that in recent
decades intemperance has increased
enormously in Latin-Americam coun- ■
ties, largely owing to the introduction !
pf whiskey. In the larger cities the
use of whisky by foreigners is declar- ■
|ed to be well nigh universal and to j
have a most pernicious effect. Chile is j
declared to be the chief victim of in-;
temperance. One traveler is quoted
as saying that there was more drunk
ness in Chille than in any of twenty
two countries he had visited.
Referring more specifically to the
,relations between the United States I
and Latin-America the Commission ’
vigorously denounces the attitude of
many Americans toward their south
ern neighbors for their intolerance
and arrogance.
“The Latin-American himself is
rot guiltless of vainglory,” it says,
“but he has much to endure from the
northern aliens within his borders.
The offenders have been aggressive
commercial agents, the plundering
type of concessionaries, overbearing,
arrogant industriaal managers and
bosses, swaggering tourists, ill-bred
consular and diplomatic representa
tives, and, occasionally, condescending
missionaries.”
The Commission finds, however, that
the United States and her citizens are
in process of mending their manners
THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER
and says the labors of the Pan-Amer ? |
ican Union in this respect are being I
rewarded. 11
At the same time it is aserted that I
there is a deep-rooted distrust of the I
purposes of the United States on the I
part o fthe Latin-Americtns. I
“Nothing is more deep-seated in the I
Latin-American mind,” says the de- I
port, “than doubt concerning the use- 1
fullness of the United States in her I
foreign policies on the Western hem- *
isphere. No amount of benevolent '
prostestations, no meritorious service '
of the Monroe Doctrine, efface the '
(moral effect of the annexation ot ’
Mexican territory as a result of the '
war of 1848, the permanent occupation
of Porto Rico, even though acceptable
to a majority of Porto Ricans, and the ’
circumstances of acquiring the Pan
ama Canal Zone strip. The United
States and her people suffer from
■these causes in Latin-America the dis- !
ability from which they are exempt in J
Asia. There, all Europeans are under .
suspicion because of many instances .
of territorial aggression. The remov. .
al of the onus is in the hands of the !
present and future statesmen of all .
these powers and of the nations whose !
sentiments and ambitions they re- .
fleet.”
The Commission finds, however, that j
the racial animosity between the nor- j
them and southern halves of the g
Western hemisphere is subsiding and (
says that the cooperation of several |
powers in the Mexican crisis has help- |
ej to bring about a much better feel- g
ing. |
Ih conclusion the Commission de- (
dares that the present plans and |
forces of the Protestant church in the
Latin-American field are “pathetically
inadequate” and that there is urgent [
need of large and immediate reinforce- I
ment. It urges the perfecting in some
form of a thoroughly representative
central agency to carry on the work of
evangelization.
