  • Yearbook of American Churches
    ^ ^' 1918 Year Book of the Churches COVERING THE YEAR 1917 Edited by CLYDE F. ARMITAGE Assistant Secretary of the Federal Covincil, Washington, D. C. Published for The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America BY The Missionary Education Movement New York 1918 » Copyright, 191 8, by The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ IN America FOREWORD The Year Book of the Churches succeeds the Federal Council Year Book and will be issued annually. The Directory of Religious Bodies includes all denominations recognized by the Federal Census. The Directory of Inter- church Bodies contains three times the number of organizations formerly treated. Most of these bodies publish Year Books with other data of value. Part II, General Information, is largely given to information connected with the war. The directories and statistics are official. The statistics con- cerning Churches and Sunday Schools are reprinted from the United States Census Bureau findings and are offered in com- parison with the Census of religious bodies made by the Federal Bureau of the Census ten years ago. The treatment of the cooperation of the Churches and Inter- Church Bodies officially in the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, is especially significant because the war has increased the necessity of federating religious activities. Books of value in nearly every phase of Christian work, published by the Federal Council, are listed as a bibliography. The general arrangement will be the same in future volumes as in this one, but it is expected that additional material will be offered in successive issues. Each division of the book is preceded by a table of the material treated, which, with the table of contents of the book and the complete cross index, will enable the reader to find every topic readily.

Eby & Co., 65-69 Congress St. W., Detroit, Mich. PUBLISHER'S PREFACE. Men of Progress is a legitimate fruit of the law of evolution. Modern journalism takes note of events in the history of persons as well as of peoples. When any noteworthy event in the life of a person of prominence in the social or business world occurs, the newspaper press regards it as within the line of its duty to publish a brief sketch of the person, in many cases giving, also, an etching or miniature likeness. When a person pays the last debt of nature, these publications are a source of information to the public, as well as of a satisfaction to friends, and may, in many cases, be valuable as matter of record in cases involving the rights of living persons. Men of Progress http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.29692 Library of Congress The difficulty of procuring information of the character indicated, just at the time when it is wanted, suggested to those connected with publications of The Evening News Association the desirability of the preparation, arrangement and publication of sketches in the form embodied in this work.

    Between Two Cultures: Fr. Hermann Joseph Untraut (1854-1941) and his Pioneering Efforts in the Liturgical Movement in Wisconsin Miranda Gail Henry St. Joseph, Minnesota B.A., Rice University, 1997 M.A., University ofVirginia, 2002 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty ofthe University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department ofR~ligious Studies University of Virginia May2003 © Copyright by Miranda Gail Henry All Rights Reserved May 2003 11 Abstract In 1925, a German American Catholic parish priest from the Diocese ofLa Crosse, Wisconsin, the Rev. Hermann Joseph Untraut (1854-1941), published a book entitled Die liturgische Bewegung (The Liturgical Movement). Based on a series of articles for a German Catholic newspaper, the book described liturgical renewal efforts then underway among some European Catholics and called upon German Catholics in the United States to reform Catholic liturgical practices by encouraging greater lay participation in the public worship of the Church. Probably in large part because it appeared only in German at a time when the language was near extinction in the United States, Untraut's book received little notice in his own day, and scholars of American Catholicism and the liturgical movement have largely overlooked his pioneering efforts. This dissertation examines the life and legacy of this forgotten figure and places him and his work in the context of German American Catholic life in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. After an overview of the movement for liturgical reform that emerged first in European monasteries in the 1830s and gradually came to influence parish life and spread to the United States in the 1920s, the dissertation looks at the situation of German American Catholics in the United States in the decades around the turn of the twentieth century.
