those in the homes of poverty. In baby contests.
however it is usually the infant born in compare

Everyone wants to save all the babies and all
the mothers possible. But how many can official
agents of the government save, as compared to
those actually saved by the kindly ministratons of
neighborly women, by doctors who do not demand

Competent writers on European

Europe from a dozen years service

events and conditions as he has OBJ
served them He discusses with in
sight and penetration the problems
of each OF the European nations
He analyses the destructive and
constructive forces that are now at
work. and speculates on the new
balance Of power which must be

MANDATE ISSUE

Regret Expressed That Slavery In

Geneva, Switzerland, Sept. 23-
Debate on the resolution urging the
council of the League of Nations to
work for an early settlement of the
question of mandates for former Ger
man colonies among the mandatory
powers and the United States, was
opened in the league assembly today
by Nine. Bug-Wicksell of Sweden. She
expressed satisfaction with the offers
of France, Great Britain and Belgium
to allow the commission on mandates
to examine into the administration of
the territories in their charge and
urged the passage of the resolution.
Lord Robert Cecil, representing
South Africa, expressed regret that
the proposed Glass b mandates were
not more specific in their prohibition
of slavery and not more stringent as
regarded regulation of liquor traffic
He thought the council might have
defined the b mandates at its present
session, but added in view of the OBJ
stacle the committee had obtained
the next best thing-the consent of
the mandatories to open their admin
istrations to investigation.

TOO MANY DENOMINATIONS TO PERMIT
MAXIMUM BENEFIT FROM CHURCH WORK
Louis Minister Dcose On the ITS Varieties of Churches Com
peting For Support In the United States

IA useless waste of both money and
men"
Dr.. Fullerton said it was hearten-
ing to know that this condition of
things was being considered seriously
by churches and missionary agencies
and pointed out that the organization
of Home Missions Council and Coun-
ell OF Women for Home Missions four
teen years ago had become an out
standing evidence of a spirit of CO
operation prevailing in the churches.
He pointed to the condition in Utah
as an illustration of what had been
accomplished by the Home Missions
Council and said that today there
were no communities in that state
where two or more Gentle churches
were at work except in the cities OF
Salt Lake and Ogden. Similar organ

mission work had been made in Colo
RADIO, Montana, Porto Rico, Cuba

Despite the hindrance of denomina-
tionalism. DR.. Fullerton reported that
the spirit of evangelism prevailing in
America was one of the most hopeful
signs of the time.
Never in the course of year had
there been such an interest in bring
ing men into the church, he said.
He recounted the difficulties in at
tempting to Christianize and Ameri.
canize the polygot peoples OF the cities
and held it to be the mission of the
church as well as of the state t.
solve the problems of sanitation ant

Pittsburg. Sept. 23.-One of the
greatest difficulties confronting the
church lies in the fact that there are
175 varieties of churches in America,
Dr.. Baxter F. Fullerton of st. Louis.
told the Worlds Alliance of Presby-
terian and Reformed Churches here
today.
Dr.. Fullerton Is secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Home Mis-
sions and was telling of the difficulties
of home mission work i'll the United
States. Observation-Disclosures he said,
was one of the most serious of these.
Each of the l75 kinds OF 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 overlooking since
there had been no cooperation in the
location and development of these va
rious local churches.
Continuing he said that the greatest
problem before the agencies of the
Christian church is to "Christianize
the church itself. He declared that
there are communities in America
where four or five different denomina
tions are at work, each church re-
ceiving home mission aid. when one
or two churches could be both self
sustaining and self-respecting.
Efforts had been made, he said, tC
change this shameful situation" but
up to the present it existed ito the
embarrassment of the work and &
scorn of the ungodly." An attempt
had been made to unite denomina-
tions having similar doctrine and gov
ernment into one larger unit and il
this way unite the local churches into
one for better service for the commun
ity, but DR.. Fullerton said that eX
treme denominationalism prevents
any very large application Of this prin
ciple and strong peoples rrmain apar
because of some unimportant or sub
sidiary question on which the saliva
tion of no soul or community depends
ut is apparent, therefore, he Wen
on, that this larger union will nevel
be accomplished until the kingdom
of God bulks larger in the minds o
people than the church. until the sal
walton and service of mankind be
comes a greater concern than the es

This duplication of churches is no
only harmful to the cause but is ais,
