Church Union Plan Put
Off Another Year

Tulsa. Okla May 28.-A proposal
for unification of the Methodist
Episcopal church with the Presbyte-
rain church in The u. S.. was pre-
sented to the general assembly here
today and referred by it TO The
church department of co operation
and union, with instructions that it
present a report before the next
general assembly, thus defcrriDg
action on the plan for at least a
year.
A flare-up of the fundaminentaist-
modernlst controversy claimed the
attention of the assembly for time
today, but was quenched by a vote
of the assembly. This came in an
effort to reopen a case in which the
belief of minister relative to the
virgin birth was questioned.

face, followed by one coating of coal
tar. This provides adequate protec-
tion provided the concrete is of good
quality, has been properly fabricated
and is not leaner than a 1:2:4 mix
In applying the water-gas tar It is
necessary to allow time for the first
coat to be absorbed before the sec
