ELIMINATE WASTE
IN WORK OF CHURCH
Rev. Roy B. Guild Talks on
Efficiency Movement in
Connection With War.
TO SPEAK TO FEDERATION

More Christian unity and co-opera-
ton is the need OF the church in this
country today said Rev. Roy B.
Guild of New York, speaking Sunday
morning in the pulpit o! First Con-
gregational church.
Rev. Mr.. Guild is secretary OF the
Federal Council Of the Commission
on Churches OF Christian America In
terchurch federation. He is here for
a few days to interest Protestant
church members in an efficiency
movement in connection with the war.
He maintains that all elimination of
waste effort is just as essential i'll
church work as it is in any line of
human endeavor.
Sunday afternoon be spoke at the
Young Women's Christian association
and this evening will speak at meet
ing of the Omaha Church federation
at First Presbyterian church.
Must Be United.
'The tendency today is to develop
cooperation among the Christian
churches. To be of the most value to
the government at this time the
church must present united front to
the world" said DR.. Guild.
Illustrating the rivalry which has
prevailed among the denominations,
he gave this bit OF levity: THE Pres
byterians on one corner will sing
Will There Be Any Stars in My
Crown On another corner the Bap-
fists will sing No, Not One And on
another corner the Methodists will
sing And That Will Be Glory for
Mer
IN Cleveland" he added, "the local
church federation will not allow cree
ton of new church within one-third
of a mile of a church already estab-
lished. We should locate churches
for the benefit of the communities
they serve, as schools are located"
He offered this thought: IF you
are not satisfied with the denomina-
ton to which you belong, do not go
out and start a new denomination.
Look over the catalogue of 1870 de-
nominations already established in
this country. There are 100000
avowed followers of Christ in the
United States, which would indicate
that 100000 have no interest in the
Savior of mankind. There is need OF
unity of effort among the denomina-
tons we have, rather than more de.
nominations"
This evening he will outline to the
Omaha Church federation the posi-
bilities of that organization in local
work and of the needs of the church
in supplying Red Cross nurses and
chaplains.
