Methodist Unification Hailed At Mission Society's Parley
The unification of the, three branches of Methodism is a step toward a more powerful church and even a union of Protestantism, leaders of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church
said today.
The unification of the missionary organizations of the Methodist Church South, the Methodist Protestant Church and the Methodist
Episcopal Church is the major dis-&
cussion topic for this afternoon’s session of the annual meeting at Robert Park Church. The convention ends today. An invitation to hold the convention in Boston next year was accepted. A goal of 60,000 members by 1940, the 60th anniversary ‘year, was set. Mrs. H. F. Young, Pittsburgh, was named editor of junior publications to replace Miss Bertha M. Stephenson, resigned; Mrs. Wilmot Smith, San Bernardino, Cal.,, was named a new member of the care and activjties of institutions department. One new honorary vice president, Mrs. Edward A. Martin, Dalton, Pa., was named. . Mrs. W. H. C. Goode, Sidney, O,, president, said: “I am looking forward to unification with pleasure and yet with anxiety that the new church may do greater work for the Kingdom. The proposed union of all women’s missionary organizations into a woman’s board seems prophetic of a new movement.” Mrs. D. B. Brummitt, Kansas City, an outstanding figure at the . convention, said: “We _are hoping that the union of Methodism will unify the missonary task so that no longer will there be foreign and home missions, but just missions.”
Pastor Foresees Union
The Rev. E. E. Aldrich, pastor of the host church, who was present at the joint meeting of laymen of the Methodist Churches North and South several years ago in Louisville, where the unification movement received its impetus, said: «This matter of unification will create problems hard to deal with, but will release forces far overshadowing the problems. - “In my opinion, this union is the first great step in drawing Protestantism closer together, and eventually into union.” Dr. C. A. McPheeters, pastor of the North Methodist Church, said: «The uniting of the three branches of Methodism, not only creates a church of eight million members, but gives impetus to the movement for church union. Denominational differences are disappearing; not only are churches facing their needs with greater co-operation, but with united action. The institutions of democracy are dependent upon freedom in religion and a united church will guarantee this free-
dom.” Issue Joint Statement
* Four deaconesses, Miss Flora Locher, Chicago; Miss Lillian Spiecker and Miss Grace G. Steiner, Cincinnati, ‘and Miss Lora Lee Pederson, Nashville, Tenn., issued the following statement: “In the united ‘church, the deaconesses of the Church South, the Methodist Deaconess ‘Association, the Bethesda Bethany Deaconess Association, the Woman's Home Missionary Society sd the deaconesses who have independently any ad-
of workers in settlements, hospitals, schools and other forms of service in the church. This group numbers more than 1000 in the United States.” The new church will be divided into six jurisdictions with a general conference governing the entire church. The national church congress will decide on the number of bishops for each jurisdiction to be elected by each division later. These bishops will not be transferable as has been customary. . Following reports on finances and proposed building projects, the Rev. Mr. Aldrich this afternoon was to deliver the closing address and of-
ficers who were re-elected were to
be installed.

Carved Drinking | Cup Is Included In Oriental Show
A carved drinking cup made of rhinoceros horns during the Chien Lung period from 1736 to 1795 is included in the exhibit of oriental art ‘fon display this week at Block’s auditorium under the auspices of the Art Department of the Woman’s Department Club. The material for the cup was obtained by hunters from the province of Yunnan. The horn was believed formerly to produce an antidote for poison and so was used in making drinking cups. The cup is carved in deep relief with designs of Taoist character and a profuse all-over foliage pattern. The cup is among objects loaned
eral pieces loaned by outstanding importing companies. Among the objects is a brass bowl of the Ming period, cloisonne plate from the forbidden city, loaned by Mrs. George
Philip Meier; an exquisitely wrought |
Korean chest, which belonged to the late Mrs. H. B. Burnett; several pieces of brass and two Mandarin coats, property of Mrs. E. L. Pedlow; a Chinese compass and calendar and -four models of modes of transportation in China and a carved Tekwood picture belonging to Mrs. Helen Talge Brown. Mrs. Paul H. Buchanan has loaned a brass burial vase and Mrs. Merritt E. Woolf owns a brass tray and pewter teapot on display. Japanese prints signed by artists displayed belong to Mrs. Paul Rochford, department president, and the embroidered skirts and coats belong to Herron Art Institute.
Socialites Agog Over Reports of Visit of Royalty
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (U. P.).— A storm in social circles was threatened today as a result of rumors that King George and Queen Elizabeth may visit the United States next summer, No official confirmation that such a visit was contemplated could be obtained and State Department officials said that no invitation has been issued. a This circumstance in no wise dampened the hopes of many Gov-
that this Government would play host to the supreme social leaders of the Anglo-Saxon world. Two facts stood out definitely: 1. The American Government, and particularly Washington, will attempt to shatter all precedents in according a rousing and friendly welcome—if the King and Queen come here. 2. Many will aspire, few will be called, within the social aura that would surround the royal couple while here.
