SECOND SERMON IN iUNITY7 SERIES
IS PREACHED BY ROBERT S. GILL
The barriers which divide Chris
tian peoples and make for the pre
' ent sectarian state of Christendom
are more temperamental and pay
etiological than they are theological
or real, according to statements
made by the Bev. Robert S. Gill In
the second of a series of talks on
church unity, delivered at ht, Paul.?
JEpiscopal church Sunday night. Not
by seeking for elimination, -but eo
crdlnatlon; not by -a process of inu-
. lual concession but by mutual co i
trlbution Is the true way to unity.
the speaker asserted.
"Some people ask me what com
mon plane I expect to find, upon
'which the church may get together;
what Is the Irreducible minimum up
on which all might agree, said Mr,
u ill. "There is no such thing as a
common plane. Some people ask me
: what the Kplrcopal chinch would bo
willing to concede. -My response H
'absolutely nothing. We hare tried
the method of concession and found
It wanting. I suppose I am not con
sidered practical. But 'practical' Is
one of our Idol-words. This is not
time to be practical in the matter of
church unity. We can all conjure
up a multitude of obstacles. Bit
what we need first of all is the M?
vision. If , wen want unity hard
enough a way will be found to tak-9
care of the obstacles.
Co-ordination IolbIe.
"In any sphere, whether of doe-
trine, discipline, worship, polity or
practice, we find the widest ex
tremes as we gaze round upon the
various Christian bodies. Yet no
comprehensive purview can fall to
take into 'account every one of tha
extremes. Take the matter of poll
ty, as an illustration; systems of
church . government divide them
selves easily Into four classes: papal.
episcopal, presbyterlan and congr
rational. No process of elimination
could possibly compromise these var
!ant systems; but they could be co
ordinated. Our own government '
an example of analogous co-ordination.)
And co-ordination would not
mean concession, but greater
rtrength.
"We are kept apart more by our
negations than our affirmations. ' it
Is not that we love our own way no
well but we hate the other fellow's
way so hard. Each communion has
its great contribution to make to the
whole to be made as a gift not as
an imposition. The Methodist couli

mony means everybody playing the
same note which is motony; that a
situation must be compromised to
be unified. I will venture to say that
in the Episcopal curch at this very
hour is as wide a diversity of opin
ion as one will find out of it.
Harriers Are Temperamental.
"The barriers and the great fixed
gulfs are largely temperamental; our
prejudice against the way the other
fellow has of doing things, for In
stance. What we have to concede H
not so much things of our own, but
that the other man has a right to
things of his own. We must get
over the fixed idea : that the wav of
ecclesiastical housekeeping which h
not our way, Is essentially wron??
and absurd. ' Of two ways of dofn?
things, both may be valuable; but
we seem to suppose that one or the
other must of necessity be wrong;
and that if we choose the one wc
must scorn the othef. ,
"Another barrier Is our sense y)t
having things exactly as we like
them. That Is the very spirit of the
sect. ; There are things even more
important than the getting of ojr
own way; the will of God for In
stance, and the good of mankind.
Eight million American voters who
did not get their own way at the last
presidential election did not there
upon get mad' and start a new re
public, even though, they had very
deep convictions in the matter. Such
result would be Holsheviklsm, an
archy. But it is apparently a policy
in which Christians acquiesce.
' Iiove Is Solution.
"Or again some of . us like to be
separated, because it gives us a feel
ing of superiority. over the common
herd. Our barriers are matters of
temperament, of pride and preju
dice. And these die hard. They can
enly come down by love, the love of
God and man. A love that will make
us big enough and wide enough, no
that our prejudices, looming so large,
fade Into the infinitesimal."
Mr. Gill will speak next Sunday
evening on "The Fact of Schism,'
continuing the present series.
SAFETY GUARDS
ARE SUGGESTED
Commissioner Hoff W&nts
Government to Place Man
' on Each Ship
Urging that a federal guardsman
or overseer be placed on each ship
under construction in Oregon, whose
duty shall be to see that workmen
are protected from injuries by acci
dent, State Labor Commissioner yes
terday addressed a letter to William
B. Wilson, secretary of the depart
ment of labor.
. Commissioner Hoff fs joined In
the petition by the laboring men of
the state. He points to the fact that
injuries are too frequent and that
they will continue if preventative
measures re not taken. The letter
to Secretary Wilson follows;
"I am addressing you concerning
the conditions affecting labor In the
shipyards of our state, one of the
most important of all wartime Indus
trie, i Many accidents have happen
ed in these plants which have both
permanently and temporarily inca
pacitated workmen from thels labors
and seriously impaired the efficiency
and progress of the shipbuilding pro
gram. That other accidents will
happen under present conditions Is
certain. It Is the aim of this de
partment and; t am sure, the desire
of the federal government to place
every possible j safeguard around
these s workmen and thus reduce
these casualties to the minimum.

al price-fixing on, agricultural prod
ucts is not a part of the policy of the
food administration and wilf not be
attempted. Food Administrator Hoo
ver said tonight'ln a fatment de
signed to , reassure farmers appre
hensive that the government might
set maximum prices on what they
have to sell.
.. "There appears to be a great ileal
of misinformation circulated amongst
the agricultural communities as to
the policy and scope of the food ad
ministration with relation to price
fixing," said Mr. Hoover. "I wish
to say at once and emphatically, that
the food administration Is not a
price-fixing body except with regard
to certain commodities, which are today-dominated
by wholly abnormal
overseas commercial relations, and
the surrounding, factors wltfl regard
to which are such as to project great
dangers both, against the farming
community and at the same time the
consuming community.
"The two commodities under reg
ulation are sugar and wheat. With
the further exception of cases In
which it has intervened purely as a
friendly intermediary between organ
ized producers and consumers the
food administration bas no authority
and no desire to fix prices on the
products of agriculture.
"In wheat we are faced with a sin
gle purchasing agency. Proportion
ate purchases to the whole were such
as' dominate the pr'ce. Any rela
tionship with this, agency by our of
ficials in limiting their operations
thus becomes absolute price-fixing
and it. becomes a question as to
whether it would be done openly
and frankly with our producing com
munity or done secretly at the will
of government officials.
"In be matter of sugar It has
been common businejs prudence to
join with the allies In a definite con
tract with the Cuban authorities as
to price, rather than leave it to fluc
tuations which would arise from
short supplies and Irregular shipping
facilities.
"The food administration has been
actively engaged in the elimination
of profiteering and speculation in
the distributing trades by regulating
tb profits as a pre-war basis. A
still greater duty has been the main
tenance of an even course of food
distribution in these times of dlslo
cution. . The law of supply and de
mand has been seriously interfered
