WHAT is THE INTER- CHURCH
WORLD MOVEMENT?

There is perhaps nothing on the
immediate horizon of the Christian
church today" says the Sunday School
Times, $50 big, so significant. and in
some ways SO puzzling as this move
ment." Every protestant dcnomina-
ton, not only in this country, but in
Europe, we believe, has cndorsd the
movement, and given assurance of
support. The single exception is the
Southern Baptist denomination. which
declines to take part in the move
mcnt.
The object of this immense sweep
ing movement, rs stated officially. is
to inaugurate "a plan for the coopera-
ton of evangelical churches in which
they may properly cooperate with
each other. with resulting savings
and economies in strength. workers
and ncncy." This. IN brief is state
ment OF object sought ~ tn move.
mcnt.
AS emphasizing and demonstrate
ing the need of such movement,
extensive surveys" have been made
Of each county and field in the Unit
cd States and in Europe rs well,
showing statistics of existing condi-
tions, needs, etc. etc.
Two significant facts, among 9TH
crs, are shown by these surveys. One,
thu. pressing need of religious adj
vantages and of evangelizing effort.
Not more, perhaps less, than one
third of the people of the world are
members of any church. In many of
the counties i'll the United States,
including our own, not more than 20
per cent Of the population, claims to
be Christians, it is shown.
The other fact is. that there is u
waste and displacement of religious
activities. Some communities have an
over-plus of churches, others two
few etc. Now, it is argued, after thou
sands of years of evangelizing effort
better showing should be possible.
and instead of fighting in indepcn-
dent groups, the movement says the
churches and ministers should get to-
gether, and unite their efforts in some
systematic campaign, as is being done
on the Foreign Mission field, and as.
, in another field, was done in the great
war. The world got together to fight
the devil in the person of the Kaiser.
We should get together to fight the
devil himself. Not church union, but
church cooperation, is the idea. Very
briefly and imperfectly, this is what
the lnter-Church World Movement
means
AS to methods it is not quite clear
A vast sum, 35 billion dollars, is the
amount proposed to be raised for
prosecution of the work. Just how
this vast sum is to be spent and
where, is not plainly stated.
1t is hoped that this brief article
may give readers of this paper who
are interested some idea of the move
ment, one of the most comprehensive
yet inaugurated, in the world.

YOUR SPRING AND SUMMER

Everybody was urged to make a
''war garden" during the great war

Now, owing to the high cost OF
food and every thing we cat, there is
still urgent need of big gardens. The
