THE Church
Need of a Spiritual Awakening
Urged by Methodists.
UNIVERSAL CHURCH AFFAIR
Some Progress Toward Union, But
Much Yet Remains to Be
Accomplished.
UNIVERSAL CHURCH AFFAIR

TORONTO. Ont, October 6.-Continu-
ing its review of the accomplishments of
Methodism during the past ten years and
the discussion Of the problems which
now confront the church. the fourth ecu
menica1 conference of the denominations
today turned it's attention to foreign mis-
sions. For this branch of its work. as
well as in those considered during the
first two days Of this decennial meeting
1t appeared that the need from the view
point of veteran workers, was as much
for "a great spiritual awakening within
the church itself as for further perfec-
ton of the mechanism of the organiza-
lions, whose membership totals many
millions.
Today's speakers emphasized as vitality
important, the necessity of making the
spirituality of the present members more
intensive, instead of seeking primarily
the frightening of membership rolls.
Church Union Urged.
Church union, or "denominational syn
thesis was urged upon the delegates
again today, it being held that in no
other department of the church work
would it's economy of service be more
felt than in that of foreign missions 1t
would mean vast savings in money. in
men and women and, therefore, the work
in that mission field could be enormously
increased.
That the church universal is not near
at hand. however. despite the unions eff
fected by Methodists and some other de-
nominations in Australia and elsewhere
was tie assertion of the Rev. w. III.
Fitchett of the Methodist Church of Aus
tralia- The universal church," said Mr..
Fitchett, has not yet been built on
earthly soil 1t stands in the realm of
faith. but not in the realm of history.
