Nashville, Tenn, Feb. IL
Bishop James Atkins tonight
urged the unity OF at least the
two leading branches OF Meth
odism, the northern and south
ern church. He also urged
the expenditure Of "A million
dollars on the Pacific coast by
the southern church AS the
longest step toward the sug-
gested union.
For the united church he
advocated IA new name, some
lhing like the Episcopal Meth
odist church or the United
Methodist church of America.
As To it's government he sng-
gests a general council, with
supervision over matters OF
jurisdiction, etc., with four
lesser councils, one for each
section to have supreme con-
troll over matters Of "a nature
local to the section, such as
the race question. The lat.
ter was the issue upon which
Methodism divided in the 40s.
