UNITED EFFORT
HELD ESSENTIAL.

were Bishop Thomas S. Nicholson, pre-
siding bishop of the north and north
west conferences of the Methodist church;
Rev. John Earl Of the national board
of survey work, and Marion c. Bishop,
state superintendent of survey work for
Indiana.
81 believe in the Interchurch World
Movement" said Bishop Nicholson, be
cause the needs OF the world ut home
and abroad are appalling. Whether we
consider the matter from the point OF
view of governmental, social or religious
necessity, 1t becomes plain that the pro-
gram Of Jesus Christ is the hope Of the
hour. The task is too great for the re-
sources of any one denomination. SOIL
darity of effort, economy of administra-
ton. ability to compass the whole task
all center in cooperative plans. Then
this is the day of large plans and OF
community movements. Only by such a
large plan, a worth while movement, such
as the Interchurch World Movement, can
we hope to engage the attention and en-
list the cooperation Of men OF the larg-
est influence and power"
