There's need of cooperative action

Efforts of the federal council of the
churches of Christ are intended to unity
the Protestant forces. The council does
hot ask in this unification the sacrifice
of doctrine or the compromise of doc

81. Louis, May 1.-THE Southern Baptist
convention tonight voted to authorize
committee of II to investigate the edu-
cational system of the church and de-
termine whether the denomnational
schools should be under the supervision
OF the convention in the same manner
as are the theological seminaries.
The committee of II was instructed to
report next year on the advsablty of
such supervision.
The convention also decided to name a
committee of seven that should investi-
gate the convention itself in order to
determine whether it was sufficiently
democratic
The convention reopened the matter
of making Chattanooga the permanent
meeting place by instructing commit
lee to report on the matter next year.
st. Louis, May 17.-The question of
giving the same attention to Baptist
denominational schools that now is
given to theological seminaries was
brought before the southern Baptist
convention this evening on report
made by the Rev. A. j. Barton of Waco.
Tex, secretary of the educational board
for the Texas Baptists in which the
convention was asked to appoint COM
mittee of one from each state in the

the education of their citizens and he
believed the request should be needed.

could undermine It, not even the Car
negie foundation fund.

added.
DR.. b. L. Riley of Birmingham said
the Bible must be taught to the chill
dren and young people and should ne
in the common schools as part of the
curriculum. He said a statute had been
enacted in Ohio forbidding the use of
the Bible in public schools. He pointed
out that while the army and navy en-
ployed chaplains, did state legisla-

to be the tendency of the times to pay
