HEAR REPORT. ON.
BIG CONVENTION
The Rev. Line and Mrs.
Clarke Submit ReSoIu-
ton on Unity.

The Rev. Fred A. Line and Mrs.
H. P. Clark told the story of the
Universalist general convention, re-
Gently held at Hartford, Conn, at
the morning church service at Cen
trail Universalist Church yesterday.
Rev. Line stated that it was an
epochal convention, made so by the
enthusiastic action of the delegates
( in adopting the report of the COM
mission on comfy and unity, look
ing toward a closer fellowship and
a large measure of cooperation be-
tween the Congressional and the
Universalist church bodies.
The National Council of Congre-
gational Churches at Omoha had al
ready unanimously adopted the re-
port of the Joint Commission, and
the eyes of the religious world were
centered upon Hartford.
The recommendation as adopted,
read as follows:
THAT we improve the joint state

the Congregational Churches and
the Universalist General Convention,
not only as providing for closer fell
lowship between the Congregational
and Universalist bodies, but as de-
claring the principles on which a
wider unity of liberal Christians
may be eaSed. The adoption of this
recommendation is to be interpreted
in the light Of the assertion in the
report of the commission that moth
ing in the joint statement commits
us to organize union or restricts in
any degree Of freedom of indepen-
dent action with reference to other
liberals, either persons or denomina-
nations.
THAT we reaff1rm our approval
of the closer fellowship of liberal
Christians proposed in the Unitarian
overture, and instruct the commits

Jesse when he asks the woman he
loves to marry him. He predicts his
death and admits that his attitude
toward society and his felIowmen
was all wrong.
Thompson is an interesting per-
former, strong and manly. His
trained horse, Silver King I believe
is the horses name, is wonder.
Nora Lane plays the sweetheart
role of Jesse.

ly because the central character was

sion on comfy and unity to further
such fellowship in all possible ways.
"That we instruct the commission
on comfy and unity to carry on con-
ference with the Congregational
commission on, inter-church rela-
lions, the Unitarian commission on
Christian unity, and with other like
minded Christians who also seek a
wider Christian fellowship, with a
view to furthering cooperation in
accordance with the principles of
the joint statement, and to report
at the next session of the con-
vention."
One of the high lights of the
convention was flashed before the
delegates in the eloquent address OF
the Rev. Charles R. Joy, fraternal
delegate from the American Uni
tartan Association, delivered just be-
fore the vote on the above recon-
mendation.
