Told To Play Together And
Play To Win

CLEVELAND, Dec. 4.-Call.ng
upon all the churches of America
to answer the present rational
challenge, DR.. John Mcdowell, Of
New York, secretary of the Presby-
terian Board of National Missions,
outlined a program Of five essen
tial duties, in addressinf the Ma
tional Presbyterian conference here
this afternoon. He said that the

their program, their organization,
their resources, and their spirit. He
gave three successful baseball
rules as adaptable for the church;
play together play to win, make
sacrifice hits whenever necessary.
The present national situation,
said DR.. Mcdowell, ''is a direct, def
mite and inescapable challenge to
every institution in cur land to en-
large and adjust itself to the new
needs and new opportunities of
these afterwar days. Business, in
dustry education and government
are all earnestly endeavoring to
meet this challenge by deepening
their purpose, adjusting their prog
