chairman of the northern branch Of
the committee.
I'VE are confident that we have
finally hit upon plan which will
accomplish the object for which we
have been striving since 1910" Bishop
Anderson said. Our differences are
administrative rather than doctrinal
and | am sure our plan will enable
the two branches to dove-tail per-
fectly."

Moore of Dallas, Tex, believes
there will be no unif1cation until rae
ial differences can be ironed out"

between the north and south. he said.
There has been much agitation in
both branches for reunification for
some time, and the standing commits
sion on the subject has been main
tained for several years. 1t Is COM
posed of twenty-five representatives
of each branch, ten of whom are
bishops. five from the north and five
