Secretary's Address to Mark mi

Secretary Hurley has accepted an in

at ceremonies marking the initial work
in the construction of three 1,10o-foot
piers on the Hudson River between
Forty-seventh and Fifty-f1rst streets
that will provide Manhattan with wharf
liners.
In addition to making an address,
the Secretary Of War will turn the first
spadeful of earth in the project, which
will cost about $15.000,000. His recent
approval of the project ended negotia-

which several of his predecessors denied

He said 1t would not be possible to

NO Christian Units.
Only the Congregational churches of
the District are affected by the merger
as there are no Christian, or as the de-
nomination is properly named New
lights, here. The local churches, which
are generally referred to as Christian,
are in fact members of the Disciples of
Christ.
There are seven Congregational
churches in the District, the First.
Cleveland Park, Ingram and Mount
Pleasant white, and Lincoln Memorial,
Plymouth and People5s, colored.
These Congregational churches are
aff1liated with the Middle Atlantic Con-
ference, which comprises the District,
Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey, in
which there are 81 Congregational and
30 Christian or Newlights churches,
which come under this merger.
Names Are Confused.
DR.. B. H. Melton. pastor of the Ninth
Street Church. of the Diciples of Christ,
explained today there has been much
confusion for years as a result of the
NewlightS using the name of Christian
churches. He said those who attend
the local churches of the Disciples of
Christ, which are generally known as
Christian churches. are connected with
the Disciples OF Christ denomination.
He explained the Disciples of Christ
was organized about 100 years ago while
the Newlights came into existence about
100 years ago. The former has head
quarters in Indianapolis, Ind, while
the headquarters of the latter is IN
Dayton, Ohio.
The pastor said the last United
States census lists the Disciples of
Christ as having a membership of
about 100000 in the United states.
while the Newlights as Christian has
approximately 100000 members.
There is a difference in the two de-
nominations, according to DR.. Melton.
The Disciples of Christ belief is similar
to the Baptist in that those members
are immersed while the Newlights use
either sprinkling or immersion.
