Rev. Mark MOhIer So Declares Inter

Church unity and the Inter-church
World movement are doomed to fail
ure. the Rev. Mr.. Mark Mohler de-
clared in his sermon at the Unitarian
church Sunday afternoon.
"AIl efforts at unity in the churches
have so far failed" he said.
THE basis for denominationalism
IS always some principle considered
vital; and because men still feel that
the principle which divided them re-
mains vital, and because eve cannot
all see and think and understand
alike, church unity so far has not been
accomplished. And so long as we are
merely human-which means that we
have lmitations-the very diversity of
our thought enriches human under
standing of truth; for while we are
still limited. it is not desirable that
We shall all be limited in the same
way.
rs there. then, no meaning in this
effort toward church unity? The an
swer IS suggested by another question:
Can there not be unity without uni
formity? The answer to that may be
found in the experience and history
of the world. We have seen in the
late war many nations of the greatest
diversity present n united front in the
accomplishment of a great purpose,
and finally achieve united army I'M
der one leadership"
In speaking of the interchurch'
world movement. Mohler said:
This movement offers great prom
Use. Professionalism has never before
had such an opportunity to bring
about a unity which will really result
in some practical value. The effort Is
yet too young to enable us to judge il
by its accomplishments. But the-E are
certain features about it which reveal
the possibilities of the future. and
believe that as at present constituted.
the interchurch world movement is
doomed to failure, as was the fedora

Stanton and Miss Anthony leaders and headquarters in New York; American Woman Suffrage association, with Mary A. Livermore, Julia Ward Howe and Lucy Stone leaders and headquar- ters in Boston. The line of division was this: The former wished to concentrate on the passage of a con stitutional amendment; the latter was ;n favor of obtaining the sui frace through amendments to state constitutions. In 1890 the two organ lzations were united under the name of National American Woman Suf- fage Association. and work was pushed along both lines of endeavor. Mrs. Stanton was president until 1892. Miss Anthony served until 19GO resigning at the age Of, eighty. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt was its head, 19Oo-t004. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. recently deceased and possibly best loved Of all the leaders-a wom- an of transceudent gifts and elo- quencc--was president until 19l5. Mrs. Catt was then again chosen. Mrs. Frank Leslie left large legacy to Mrs. Catt to he used in the work.
 The National association made ar engagements at the Si. Louis conyen- ton of 1919 to dissolve its organiza- ton and become the League of Wom- en Voters. These arrangements be- came effective at the Chicago conven- toin in February last. So the League of Women Voters now holds sway over something like 27,o00.0OO po- tPhiial American women voters.

Father and Daughter
 Get Relief by Eatoniit

R. J. Powell, Sweetwater, Texas, says. 'sEatonic helped me at once but it was my daughter who got the marvellous benefits. She could mol even take a drink of water without awful misery, but 1t relieved her; she is feeling much better. All this from one box, so send me four more at once."
 Hundreds of people now take eatonic; one or two tablets after each meal keeps them in good health, feeling fine, full of pep. Eatonic simply takes up the excess acidity and poisons and carries them right out of the system. Of course, when the cause of the misery is removed, the sufferer cannot help but get well.
 You will find it quick, sure relief for heartburn, indigestion, sour acid, gassy, bloateG stomach. It costs but a trifle and your druggist will supply you. If you don't feel well, you giv eatonic a test. Adv.
