mon Series on Topic.
Salem, Or., March 2. Rev. Robert S.
Gill, rector of the Episcopal church
here, is preaching a series of sermons
on the unification of the churches. His
discussions are attracting wide Interest.
"Never since the great schism of the
Sixteenth century," says Rev. Mr. QUI,
"has there been a more pronounced in
clination toward the unity of Christen
dom than at the present hour. If the
signs of the times are worth anything
at all, they point toward the Unification
of the churches. The fact of a coming
unity la certain ; how soon it will be ac
complished Is a matter of, conjecture.
But it will come more rapidly than
now seems thinkable to nine-tenths of
the Christian world.
"The war has made its unmistakable
caU upon the ""h. We are at the
beginning of a new epoch; the whole
test-tube. That which is worthless, that
whicfii is dross must be burned off. De-

latter alternative la unthinkable. For
bad as the disunity of the church is, it
is infinitely better than, churchlessness."

Service in Progress

Service commission today received a tel
egram from C. R. 'Gray, connected with
the office of the director general of
railroads, stating that equalization of
car service will be brought about as
soon as possible.

tations made to the director general by
the commission because of the inability
of the Baker lumber mills to obtain
cars even' for the shipment of govern
ment orders of lumber.

only temporary and is due to the Im
mediate necessity of moving grain and
grain products." Bays the message from
Mr. Gray. "The relocation of equipment
is now in progress and an equalization
will be brought about as quickly as pos
sible. The attention of R. H. Alshton,
regional director at Chicago, has been
called to the matter and he will-see that
It Is not lost sight of."
