^ ^' 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. Further information will be sent as requested. Suggestions for improvements that can be made in the 1919 issue are desired. The Editor. CONTENTS PAGE Foreword . iii Part I.

Conducting research on her work entailed tolerat- ing the eyestrain brought on by microfilm and barely legible photo- copies of the Colored American Magazine. I also vividly remember the appearance of the 1978 reprint edition of her novel Contending Forces (1900) in Southern Illinois University Press’s Lost American Fiction series. I experienced both gratification at the long-overdue attention the novel was garnering and also no little distress upon reading Gwendolyn Brooks’s afterword to the text. While acknowl- edging our “inevitable indebtedness” to Hopkins, Brooks renders this brutal judgment: “Often doth the brainwashed slave revere the modes and idolatries of the master. And Pauline Hopkins consis- tently proves herself a continuing slave, despite little bursts of righ- teous heat, throughout Contending Forces” (409, 404–405). This view of the novel as a limited, compromised achievement reflects the all-too-common lack at the time of a nuanced, informed engage- ment with much post-Reconstruction African American literature broadly and with that produced by African American women in particular.

The journal’s goal for the Forum is to provide signifi cant thinkers’ views on topics of interest without requiring lengthy articles from these heavily-committed individuals.
