Discourages AmaIqamation.
DETROIT, Mich, July 11-Dr. Jo-
seph F. Berry. of Chicago, general sec
rotary of the Epworth league, of the
M. E. church, had the following to say
tonight in regard to the movement said
to have been proposed at the Christian
EndeaYor convention to amalgamate
the Epworth league the Christian En-
deavor society and the Baptist Young
Peoples organization:
1.-The day when there was any
doubt about the advisability of a de-
nominational union of young peoples
societies is past The marvellous sue
cess of the Baptist Young Peoples
union and the Epworth league has
demonstrated the fact that the dis
tfnctively denominational society has
come to stay. We of the Epworth
league believe in Christian unity, but
not in organic union. The denomina
tional young peoples society, it seS~s
to Is, is as logical as denominational
church or Sunday school, The Metho-
dist and Baptist denominations would
never. consent to have eiy young
people furnished with literature by
outside persons.
we have doctrines and a policy for
which we stand. and Epworth le%f( is
a part of the denomination All talk
of the Epworth leagues going into or
ganic union with any young pecS.;s
society is talk about an utter impossi-
bility."
