Protestant Unificafion
Is Seen Through
Methodist Session 4
Uniting Conference "
Hears Idea Voiced
BY 2 Church Leaders

BY the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Kans., April 3D.
Two outstanding church leaders to-
day hailed the Methodist uniting
conference here as possibly open
ing the way for unification of all
Protestants.
DR.. George Arthur Buttrick, pres
ident OF the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in America, and
DR.. Umphrey Lee, president of
Southern Methodist University, ex-
pressed their views before 5000 per-
sons at public worship service of
the conference last night.
1T is not my job to make the
world Presbyterian or yours to make
1t Methodist" said DR.. Buttrick,
pastor OF Madison Avenue Presby-
terian Church in New York. Our
united job under God is to make
the world Christian =.
Sees More Grievous' Disunity.
The disunity of Professionalism
seems daily to become more griev-
Gus. Why should any of us deny
ourselves the Episcopal Book of
Prayer, so full of star fire, or the
searchings of Quaker silence, or
the free worship of the Presby-
terians?
"A minister is expected to preach
about 100 sermons a year. That
equals about six books a year. You
wouldn't expect that of an author.
It's my conviction that no minis
ter can preach two authentic SER
mons a day. Besides he must be
an administrator and a financier.
The good Lord doesn't make men
after that fashion. It does seem to
me that the future Of the Protest.
ant church Is bound up with larger
units and specialized and multiple
ministry"
1T is to be hoped that a united
Methodism may be a challenge to
American Christendom," DR.. Lee
told the congregation.
1T may be that even the regional
organization of the Methodist
church will point the way for the
preservation of real diversity in a
vital unity"
Two Bishops Elected.
The first step toward actual phys,-
cal union of the Methodists' was
taken last night, when the Methodist
Protestant branch elected two
bishops-the first this group has had
in Ill years.
They are DR.. James H. Straughn.
Baltimore. and DR.. John Calvin
Broomfleld, Fairmont, w. Va.
The Protestant branch split from
the main church in 1928 over Law
representation and what it termed
autocratic powers of Methodist
bishops.
The Protestant division was al
loted two bishops in unification
plans. The Northern branch has %
active and II retired bishops The
Southern branch has IL active and
seven retired All will have similar
positions in the unified Methodist
church.

Members said the committee also
discussed the question of getting
more prompt action from w. P. A.
on the committees requests for in
formation. There was no indication.
however, as to what action had been
decided on.

Volume of Copper Shipments to Japan
and Germany Dropped During January

Export trade through the Ia
coma harbor in January increased
in some respects. the monthly re-
port of Harbormaster Fred Sher-
man showed today, but pronounced
drops in trade with three of the
city's largest customers caused q
falling off of about S2.700. 900 for
the month.
The import total increased, how
ever, more than a million dollars.
Imports for January were S5.459,-
0S2, and exports were 1888, 1888.
The total business of the port was
ss.992,656, as against S10.443. 304
in December
Reduced volume of copper ship
ments to Japan and Germany were
largely responsible for the drop in
export trade. Shipments of the
metal to Germany in December
reached "A total of more than $780,
900, but none was shipped in Janu-
airy. Copper exports to Japan in
January were 72s,l34i drop of
