SEATTLE. June 5. Church unity
is becoming more and more populur.
At the fifty-fourth general assembly
of the United Presbyterian church of
America, recently held In Seattle, the
desirability of church union was
clearly shown. The point was made
that under present conditions, the
missionary field Is suffering because
of the scattered efforts of the many
religious organizations, which ought
to work together. This same, sub
ject was taken tip by the Methodists
in their Minneapolis assembly recent
ly. As a result of the Seattle con
vention, a committee was named to
confer with other Presbyterian
bodies.

George F. Cotterill. of Seattle, Is
president of the movement. The pro
gram" contained many Interesting sub
jects bearing on child, life and they
were discussed by child workers of
national reputation.
