ing religious antagonisms are coming
to discover the foolishness of sectar-
ian prejudices.
However, organic union between
the more than. 200 Protestant denom-
nations in the United States will be
comparatively slow. The chances are
that they will not get very close to-
gether through discussion of thco-
logical differences in the General
Council. This will be accomplished
through the gradual drawing together
er Of smaller groups-that is, two or
three denominations at time.
Furthermore, it is we'll known that
when country or group of nations
has been divided on account of the
war, as rule the churches are the
last to get together. ,, ~
And yet, 1t is not impossible that
the pope may attempt to bring to-
gether the great religious bodies of
the world for the adoption of united
peace program for establishment of
Christian ideals.
Ii the pope can accomplish this
more than human task, he will de-
serve the gratitude not only of the
churches, but Of the entire civilized
world. ~
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-09-03
(Dy the rev. Charles Stclzle)

(Dy the Rev. Charles Stclzle)
Will the pope's peace drive be the
beginning of another movement for
the re-establishment of union among
the various branches Of the Christian
church?
1t will be remembered that early in
the year Pope Benedict XIV appointer
a commission Of four cardinals to
open negotiations with the Anglican
church and the Greek Catholic church,
looking toward organic union. Is the
peace proposal another movement in
this direction?
There is no doubt that when peace
is established some kind of a League
to Enforce Peace will be formed by
the political states Of the world. 1t
is argued that this example will slim
ulate the desire for religious union.
If the popes peace plan goes
through. it will undoubtedly give him
an unusual opportunity to call an
other General Council Of the Christian
Church, Of which many have been
held in the past.
Previous to the seventh century
seven general councils were held to
determine great theological cushions,
and the findings Of these councils are
recognized today by practically all
