COOPERATION
IS WATCHW0RD


Tho watchword Of the inter
church world movement is coopera-
ton; it, aim is, Every Christian
an evangelist; its motto is. Every
church . center OF evangelism and
community service These vital
points about the movement were
brought out in a report by DR.. John
McGown Stevenson OF the recent
conference Of 5000 Illinois minis
tors in Chicago at the Broadway
Presbyterian church last night
The strength that results from
cooperation is the guiding princi-
pie OF the movement. The denomi-
nations are left intact They do not
unite, but they work together IN
harmony. All decisions reached in
regard to plans and programs OF
the movement are reached through
UNCONVENTIONAL channels, and moth
ing is done unless unanimous.
The ingathering of the 25,000,00
professionals unrelated to any church
is the work on which the denomi-
nations will concentrate from now
until Easter. The church will
work through organized groups In
localities.
The personnel Of those involved
in the movement of the churches
testifies to its greatness, DR.. Ste.
venson said. The general chair
man is Robert Lansing. John r
Mott is on the executive committee
Speakers at the Chicago confer
ence made new and startling state
ments which held the unwaverint
attention OF the assemblage, DR.
