"Misery is Prolonged by American Handling of Debt, Rev. Mr. Halsey Says"

Cincinnati Enquirer, December 1933

 “It was said that the church didn’t keep us out of war; in the same breath the church is told to keep out of economic and political affairs. When these become essentially moral, then religion must speak, or be untrue to itself and to God.”

"Seek Hundred 'Hungriest Children'" and "Foreign Mission Report Will Be Explained"

"The minister dreamed that his eight-year-old Billy, who had died two years before, was hungry—hungry in the midst of plenty; and that on Thanksgiving day! The minister’s childhood was spent in New England where Thanksgiving was celebrated like our Christmas. Billy’s few Christmases had been spent in a time and in a part of the country where Christmas is Christmas. So, the next day our minister determined that Billy should have his Christmas celebration by proxy. He has that curious sort of Celtic (or is it Christian?) faith that convinces him that those who have “gone on” know what goes on here."

“Regardless of rootage, every religious group would claim the same heritage—a belief in a God who is all powerful and loving and wise, and a belief in human brotherhood. Let us all join hands as such. Those ideals and ideas are boldly challenged today. All who stand for them had better stand together, or they will hang separately.”
