Efforts of EpiscOpali1nS. Presby-

with Other Protestant BODIES Being
Furthered by Cooperation.

Episcopalians. Presbyterians. Disciples
of Christ. and CongregationaliSts have
now made definite and tangible state
| lnents looking toward unity With other
; Protestant bodies. Others have EXPRESSED
interest in unofficial ways, and the
! whole Protestant system in America is
undergoing marked changes Unity may
be some distance off. but there is much
. talk about il. Some favor Christian unity,
which is counted to mean cooperation,
and others come out boldly for church
union, which means, they say. the wipir-
out of all present bodies and they organ
iZatons. and the creation of one great
Protestant body, with a name yet to be
selected.
\ good many different men. in half a
dozen religious bodies. have led TO this
movement. and if unity takes the place
of disunon. their names will go down
TO poSterity because of their part in it
But there are two men VINO are acknowl-
edged leaders. one of them is the ENis-
copal Bishop of Chicago. the Right Rev.
Or. Charles 7. Anderson. and the other
is the Rev. Peter Ainsie, OF Baltimore
Both remarkable men. given to leader

Bishop Born in Canada.
Bishop Anderson is Il Canadian by
birth and education. He comes from
Toronto, whe-c he was educated. but |
almost Immediately after being ordained |
he went 10 Chicago and became rector of |
a large parish at Oak Park. a Chicago |
suburb, The same Parish is famous for |
the great men it has discovered and |
trained For nine Years the bishop was |
rector there. and in 1900 was elected CO.
adjutor to the late Bishop McLaren. At
once he took front rank. Under him |
his church in Chicago has gone forward |
He has been more than the Bishop of |
Chicago however. for he has launched
into national affairs affecting Ills church
Often taking insurgent attitudes his in
fluence has been tremendous, and half a !,
dozen things in his church have beer
revolutioniZed. sometimes against the
wishes of the parishi6ners. and vastly
extended and benefited because of his
fOreSightcd leadership.
Mr.. AinSli" is Self-made He is
product of old Virginia in birth. educa-
tion. and temperament. He could not |
help being minister. His grandfather
WAS Rev. Peter AinSlic. SO was his
father. He is the third of the same
and exactly the same name.
Going to Baltimore almost Immediately /
after leaving college, he took hold of Z;
small church. That it is big now goes !
without saying. with such a man at its
head. 1t has connected with it n semi
nary. an OrphanaEe. a home for working
girls. and "A Chinese school, and it has ,
four other churches in the
same city. Mr. AinSle is still young
man. but he was president of the Dis
