Th.e c.World Outlook -on Church Union
By THE REV. ARTHUR J. BROWN, D.D., LL.D.
'BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS OF THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN THE U.S.A.
The alternative before the
churches is like that before the
Allies in Europe - stand together,
not ,as sympathizers fighting
separately, but as a united force,
or suffer irretrievable disaster.
Nothing is plainer than that North
America is not being "loon for Christ
as things are now and that it cannot
be so won unless the churches com-
bine. Fields overlap. Organizations
are needlessly multiplied. Expenses
of maintenance are heavily increas-
ed. Communities which could be
adequately served by ono Church
haye a dozen. Buildings are small
and poorly equipped. Time and
money of members are so absorbed,
by the struggle for existence. that
little is dose to advance the cause
of Christ.
The fact that most communions
'approve exchange of pulpits and in•
tercommunion, accept 'one another's
baptisms, ordinations, and letters of
transfer, and show an increasing
disposition to enter into territorial,
federative, cooperative, and even
union agreements eloquently testi-
fies to the breakdown of sectarian
feeling. In making territorial divi-
sions and readjusting boundary Iines
so as to avoid overlapping, nutter-
_ ous churches have been shifted
bodily from one communion to an-
other by formal agreemenee between
the governing bodies. In Korea and
India, transfers involving thousands
of Christians have taken place be-
tween Methodists and Presbyterians.
A conference. of representatives of
the AnglicarrCh'urch Missionary So-
ciety's Mission °.,and the American
'Board's; Board's Missien at
Kasganj, India, IVIaeeh 13, 1914,
agreed that the Anglicans, should
withdraw from the Etah District and
that the Presbyterians should with-
draw- from an adjacent one, the In-
dian Christians in each ease to fall
under the care of the .Mission left
in sole possession of the field.
lar agreements have been made ain
numerous instances in the United
States, especially -between Congre-
gationalists and Presbyterians, and
authorized committees are trying to
lessen the evils of over-churching
in small cbmniunities by encourag-
ing feeble congregations to Consoli-
date, the denominational affiliation
of the consolidated church to be de-
termined by priority of occupation
or preponderance of interest, If
such agreements are justifiable in
mission fields, why are they not jus,
tifiable elsewhere? If it is proper
for tour denominations to unite in a
Montana village or an India district,
wiry is it not proper for them to tun
ite itt tho country at large?
The necessity for action is not
wanting, but on the contrary is
tir-

variety of other associations show
that increasing numbers of Chris*
tians are resolved to get together in
Christian 'work, and that as they
cannot do so through their churches,
they will outside of them. The
time has passed when Christian men
can prudently assume an attitude
of indifference or obstruction to-
ward the movement for organic un-
ion. While 'attempting to avoid what
they believe to be a danger in union, ,
a worse thing may befall theni and

union of laymen who will simply ig-

The union pf the people of God is
coming, Too many earnest souls are
praying for it, "providential indica•
tions too definitely point toward it,
tl(e words and mind of our Lord are
too unmistakable to permit doubt.
It may or may not come now; but
come it will, sooner or later. "What
trials and delays must be endured,"

alized, God only knows, It may be
that the conflict with evil mutt

forsaken temples and a vanishing
Sabbath and a systemtof edun' :ian

to make men see the fatal co
iugnces of disunion, rivalry, and ntu-
