Present Status of Unity

During the recent Conservation congress of the Men and Religion Forward Movement representatives os Disciples. Congregational and Epis- copal churches held conferences on Christian unity Four sessions in ap took place one of them bringing to- @ather men from all three bodies Satisfaction was expressed by all at the progress made thus far. It wa, voted that these. movements had as sisted the cause. while not organized primarily to do 50. Ii was also voted ro make the largest possible use of the summer meetings this year to fur rher unity plans.
 The proposed world conference on laith and order. toward which all are working. was declared to be no nearer in point of date Far more prelimin- ary work has been found necessary than was expected. Reports of unity plans tried out in Australia and South Africa were presented and discussed. and were held to have some bearing upon the situation here and in Eng land. II was the prevailing judgment that the world conference, when held. should sit in an American and not in a European city. It is an American project America contributes largest 10 world work. and has the largest single churches and societies
 The striking feature in the unity situation was held to be the growth of the Christ sentiment That is. the argument that he serves his church best who serves Christ best was round to be growing, and that as it does so the relative importance of rdenOminational fences diminishes A result Of the conferences was the con- clusiOn that as long as this change is taking place it is well to avoid any possible interruption of it. A wait ing policy will. it was felt, make more sure any practical results of world unity conference Meetings of repre- Sentatives of the bodies named, and of others, are to be continued

His Name is Hunt

Mayor Henry T. Hunt, of Cincin- nati, is the latest executive to assume the role of HarOun- all Rashid. No doubt he has taken the cue from the governors who have sentenced" them selves to spend a day or two in state penal institutions, eating prison fare, sleeping on prison cot, and general ly sharing the hardships endured by the prisoners. Mayor Hunt, however. IS going to direct his inquiries in a different direction. He proposes to mingle in person with the street cleaners and ride on the wagons with the street sprinklers It is stated that he will even try his hand at driving an ash wagon. Then he will spend a week in the fire houses. res bonding to alarms with the firemen and accompanying tlA7m to fires. Every city department will be visited in turn. Of course if it pleases the mayor to vary the monotony of off clal life in this manner, he is entirely at liberty to do so. No possible harm can result No particular good will result, either, except that which may accrue from the free advertising he will receive
