Million Members of T,uo Churches
 To Join Forces at Seattle Meeting
Congregational and Chris tian Organizations
 Are to Merge TWO DENOMINATIONS
 WORK TOGETHER
Can Do More for King dom of God' United
 than Separated

SEATTLE, Wash, June 19.-More than 100000 communicants of two large Christian denominations will join forces here this month and next month when the Congrega- tional and Christian churches be- come one.
 The union, brought to it's final stages after two years of work among leaders of both groups, is expected to result in greatly strengthened group lending strength in instances where the respective congregations were weak.
 The Congregational churches, for the most part, are located in the larger cities, while the Christian churches are generally in smaller cities and, towns, leaders point out.
 Sponsors of the movement, which had its inception at the general council of Congregational Churches at Detroit in May, 1929, proposed the union on the basis of a belief that the churches united, could do more for the Kingdom of God than they can separated'
 Not Widely Different
 The two denominations are not widely different in principle.
 Both churches carry on wide spread activities in foreign mission work. The Congregational church's American Board of Commissioners for Foreign missions was incorpor- ated in 1912.
 Many of the leading colleges and universities of the United States have a Congregational origin and background. The Christian denomination, its leaders point out, came into ex- istence as a protest against divisive creeds and names, and was based upon emphasis of Christian charac- ter rather than theological opin- ions.
 The denomination maintains two colleges, Defiance college, at De- fiance, O., in the north. and Elon college, in North Carolina, for the south.
 From headquarters of the general convention of the Christian church here, and from the seat of the na- tional council of the Congregations al church in New York, officers of the two denominations have been directing the work incident to com- plete merging of the two groups.
 Those at Head
 Dr. Fred B. Smith, of New York, is moderator of the Congregational council, and the Rev. Frank c. Coffin, of Columbus, is president of the Christian church general convention.
 The Rev. Charles E. Burton, of New York, and the Rev. Warren H. Denison, of Dayton, respective

II CAN'T BE
 DONE, HONEST!

WASHINGTON, D. C., June l9.- Plans to have "Old Ironsides' take the sea under canvas again have been discarded because Uncle Sam's Navy has no men who can sail the old frigate that conquered Barbary's pirates.
 This is the answer to appeals for such a voyage.
 "Old Ironsides" has no sails, ex- cept one or two carried for show, and the proposal for full set would cost s6,Oo0 or s7,o00, said Navy officials.
 And besides, if the old frigate is equipped with sails, no sailors can be found in the Navy who know how to furl or unfurl them.
