CHURCHES NEED
CHR|ST|AN|Z|NC
SAYS FULLERTON
Cause Hampered by Too Many
Denominations
NOT MUCH COOPERATION
Duplication of Churches Use
less Waste of Both Money
and Men"
NOT MUCH COOPERATION

Plttsburg, Sept 22-One of the
greatest difficulties confronting the
church lies in the fact that there are
us varieties of churches in America,
DR.. Baxter p. Fullerton, of st. Louis,
told the Worlds Alliance Of Presby-
tcrian and Reformed Churches here to-
day.
DR.. Fullerton is secretary of the
Presbyterian board of home ssions
and was telling of the difficulties OF
home mission work in the United
States. Denominational SIN, he said,
was one Of the greatest most serious
Of these. Each Of the l75 kinds oil
church was endeavoring to promote
its own work both in the city and the
country among native and immigrant
alike and. consequently there was not
only overlapping but also over looking
since there had been no cooperation
in the location and development OF
thee local churches.
Continuing he said that the great
est problem before the agencies OF the
Christian church is to "ChristianiZe
the church itself He declared that
there are commun ties in America
where four or five different denomina-
tlons are at work each church re
cciving home mission aid. when one
or two churches could be both self
sustain ng and self-respectng

change this shameful situation but
up to the present it existed TO the
embarrassment of the work and a
scorn of the ungodly.' An attempt
had been made to unite demon ma
tions having similar doctrine and gov
ernment into one larger unit and IN
this way unite the local churches into
one for better service for the com
munity. but Dr. Fullerton sad that
extreme deuominationalism prevents
any very large application OF this pr.h
ciple and strong peoples remain apart
because of some unimportant or SUB
sid airy que ton on which the saliva
ton of no soul or community de-
pends
1T is apparent, therefore, he went
on. that this larger union will never
be accomplished until the kingdom OF
God bulks larger in the minds of peo'
rle than the church until the saliva
ton and service of mankind becomes
a greater concern than the establish
ment of a specific chnrch.
This duplicat on of churches is not
only harmful to the cause but is also
waste of both money and men
Or. Fullerton said it was heartenins
to know that this condition OF things
wa cons dered seriously by churches
and missionary agencies. He pointed
to the condition in Utah as an Illus
tration and said that today there
were no commun tes in that state
where two or more Gentle churches
we're at work except in the cities Of
Salt Lake and Ogden.
Despite the hindrance of denomina-
tionaism, DR.. Fullerton reported that
the spirit Of evangelism prevailing in
America was one OF the most hopeful
signs at the time
