ovERguRDEN WITH MACHINERY


That the church is oyerburdened
with machinery is the opinion OF
contributor TO the New York Chris
tian Advocate. He writes:-
The multiplication Of machinery
is not organization. Modern business
methods tend TO reduce the machinery
OF business; they simplyily methods
and decrease the number OF officials.
They consolidate institutions. and do
not multiply them. The church, on
the contrary, tends to increase ma
cnluery and it is a grave question
whether is so doing 1t has moved
toward organization. Starting with
the church general. We are I'M
fortunate at the outset in finding its
work hampered by multiplication OF
sects. Each of these branches has its
UNCONVENTIONAL machinery, with
bishops or boards OF government, and
Will separate benevolent work and
agencies tor the same. Publishing
houses are equipped Tor each OF these
ORGANIZATIONS, and each sends out its
workers in mission fields, para.IeIIug
the work of its brother sect To over
come this condition is apparently i'm
possible, but the same principle OF
competition and lack OF consolidation
