BALTIMORE. Oct. 13. P Repre
sentatives of the three branches of
American Methodism were counseled
today by Bishop John Moore of Delta,
Texas, to unite In order to carry out
the high purposes of the church.
Speaking on unification at the
esqui -centennial program being held
here. Bishop Moore aald:
"We are not here to make an Ag
gregation. We ere here to build a
body capable of carrying the burden
of Methodism."
"Methodism must reassert Its pur
pose, he said, "and rethink Its pro
gram. The business before us Is to
fsoe our responsibilities. This will
call for realignment of our forces.
'We have come to our day of ma
turity. We must let our playhouses
remain In the land of sentiment. It
Is a late day for denominational aulb
bllng, sectarian troubles and sectional

Resolution Calling War 'Un
christian' Laid Before
Convention Taft's Son
Gives Mission $252,000
By CHAHI.E B. CO A TEA
Associated Press Staff Writer
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct, 13.
(AP) A resolution calling war "un
christian," and pledging the Eplsco
pal church to unrelenting opposition
to the "war system," was placed be
fore the house of deputies at the 61st
triennial convention of tha Protestant
Eplscopsl church In the United
States today.
Presented by the Rev. Elmore D.
McWee of Buffalo, the resolution Is
one which was adopted by the diocese
of western New York at Its diocesan
convention. It calls for the appoint'
ment of a special commission of four
bishops, four prcsbyterys and four lay
men to "explore the field of Inter-
church co-operation In the cause of
peace with the hope that a North
American conferencse of churches or
a world conference on war and peace
might result."
Plan Early Action
The resolution was placed on the
calendar for early action.
A second resolution, offered by the
Rev. Dr. Howard Chandler Bobbins
of New York, would give conclentlous
objectors of any church the status of
Quakers in time of war.
This resolution was referred to
committee.
The controversy of "high church"
i. "low church," possible changes in
the ecclaslastto law relating to mar
riage and divorce, and, most pressing
of all, the problem of financial sup
port for the domestic and foreign
missions loomed large on the conven
tion agenda.
Olft to Missions
A $363,000 gift, the first organised
effort by American laymen to in
crease mission support, was announc-:
ed last night by the new national
everyman's committee," headed by i
Charles P. Taft, second, of Cincinnati, I
aon of the late President William
Howard Taft. President Roosevelt is
member of the committee and a i
contributor.
The "everymsn's gift" 1s expected
to decrease considerably the $1,000,-
000 deficit In the general church bud
