President Carter made an open
ing address in which he spoke of
Indwidualism and church indie
pendence and urged the necessity of
cooperation. Three forms of CO.
operation are needful, he said, for
the welfare and growth of The de-
nomination. The first is the Co
operation of the members of the
same local church, the second, the
cooperation of neighboring
churches for their mutual good, and
thirdly the cooperation that is es-
pecially needful for all the church
es in the larger work of the denom-
nation. The home mission trum-
pet is sounding, he said, and moral
evils, religious procrastination, po-
litical corruption and the destroy
ing liquor demon are wreaking dam
age that will require unusual Wig
lance and earnest work of all to
keep up the fight for the Master.
