Tf achieved, the union of the 13 different factions into one organi sation with a total of more than 18,600 churches and nearly 3,000, 000 members, might well lead to a united Protestantism in America in the opinion of many leading mem bers of the denomination in attend ance here. "Every argument for reuniting the separated units of our great family lias taken on new urgency today,” Dr. Covert declared. “Every objec tion that has heretofore arisen to postpone and prevent this natural and inevitable oneness, has less weight with the thoughtful and de voted leaders in the church than at any time in a generation.” Dr. Covert touched on racial groupings in the church and said that conditions that “once justified or made congenial” the separate groupings of Presbyterians in the pioneer days have gone by because of the dilution of the old racial stocks and the universality and su premacy of the “real American breed of Presbyterians.” Civil War Strife Dead “The differences that arose out of the sorrow's and griefs of the battlefields of ’61 and ’65 have long since found their solution in the hearts of those comrades of the Blue and Gray. If those old fight pi's, now on their final march, have learned to walk together in the love of a common flag, so may Presbyterians, North and Cruth. who are their sons and share all their pride and their lc. .lties, walk together under the bonnie blue flag of Presbyterianism. What they can do for their country, we can do for our Christ.” Doctrinal differences which here tofore have separated the various branches of the Presbyterian cnurch were characterized as ‘‘negligible” and “minor differences” by Dr. Col vert. “Peter, James, John and the other disciples found their way to Jesus over different pathways,” he said. “Their approach was conditioned by their environment, their tempera ment, their personality, but all found their place as one man at His feet and before His cross, and in an act of sublime self sacrifice in His program of service and sal vation for a lost world. The eyes and minds and perceptive powers of those disciples may have been different but they saw and felt and loved, and rose to serve Him in time and eternity.” Dr. Colvert declared the union of the various branches of Presbyteri anism W'as a “paramount issue in the Kingdom of God and a su preme need in the nation.” In making his plea lor Presby terian unity under the name of “The Presbyterian Church ol ‘Pineapple’ Crop Of Chicago Grows CHICAGO— —The Chicago crop of “pineapples"—quaint name for the racketeer’s tomb, has shown an increase both in production and effectiveness this year. Despite election promises that the “pineapple” would cease to menace the property and health of Chicagoans, the number of bomb ings and resultant damag® showed an increase in the first s-x month# a# >029 over the similar period last America,” Dr. Colvert declared that while the Roman theory of church government has its place and its right, "we recognize that over against a monarchial church gov ernment with its seat of supreme authority in a foreign land, there must be kept active the simple, compact representative form of church government so native to our democratic ideals.” Church Colleges Menaced Increased cost of education and rising academic standards made necessary by modern accrediting agencies is threatening the life ar.d work of the church colleges, Dr. Colvert said. "We are now facing the alterna tive of a purely secular education and a culture void of religious ideals, or the maintenance in more worthy fashion through co-opera tion and union of our church col leges affiliated with our Presbyterl and and Reformed churches.” the speaker said. Dr. Colvert characterized as "the most destructive heresy at work to day” modern behaviorism. “A spiritual basis for life and spiritual background for faith is not in the picture for our modern be haviorist,” the speaker declared. "Here we face the most destructive heVesy at work today. It nullifies both theology and religion and wipes out all moral sanctions. It despiritualizes life and leaves us hopeless and godless In a welter of physical senations that we once thought were the fruits of love and hope and faith and other noble re alities of the spiritual world. "In the presence of this type of subtle and deadly negation of all that underlies our concepts of God and a spiritual world, the imma terial and minor distinctions that keep our total intellectual and mor al powers decentralized, sink into utter insignificance. The omnious reality in our present day American life of this rising peril of a pagan ized interpretation of life and a godless order of the universe ought to challenge the conscience of our divided forces and to compel our scattered marching units to close order, till, as in the old Roman regi ments, every soldiers' shield over lapped and defended every other soldier. If it is figh*’ng strength we need, union will bring it. If it is increased power of attack, the close order and integrated move ment will bring it.” trotzky, ireful AT ‘PRESS LIES/ BECOMES A CLAM PRINKIPO. PRINCE'S EDWARD ISLAND. TURKEY,— —To his hatred for Stalin, who banished him from Russia, and his hatred for Germany, which refused him admit tance, Leon Trotzky, exiled Bolshe vist chieftain, vas addea another hate. This time it is for the press of the world. It was not always thus. When he emerged irom his month of vir tual imprisonment in the soviet con sulate in Staniboul to the more loquacious almcsphere of a Pera hotel, he had much to say and said it willingly. But when reporters sought ‘o learn what he loped to do in England he locked the doors of his rent’d villa in this fashion able Stambou) summer resort. The shut*,vs of his windows were tightly closed; huge pol'ee dog crouched ou the front steps; from a distance a Turkish secret service man watched. The newsgatherers knocked and knocked and finally the door was unlocked, half-opened, and the palii.l face of Trolzky’s year according to Thomas Quinn Beesley, an investigator for the Chicago Employers’ association. From January to July, 1928 bomb ers scored 36 hits, while the first half of this year “pineapples” bloomed in 60 spots, Beasley said. In ths 1928 period the average dam age was $960 and this year $1,428 The perpetrators? of this year's bombings all have escaped prose cution thus far, Beesley added. In his successful election cam paign, John A. Swanson, state’s at terney promised war on racketeers young Russian secretary appeared. Mr. Troteky, he said, would henceforth see no members of an} press, local or foreign. Mr. Trotzk} was sorely grieved at the garbling of his published articles and at t lie false reports which necessitated hif issuing denial after angry denial The secretary cited a staid Londor newspaper which averred that Trot zky was no real exile, but that, in connivance with Stalin, he wa! posing as one in order to carry on clandestine communistic propagandr in the Near East. Another “infernal lie" (the terra is that of the fiery Bolshevist him self) informed the British public that the former partner of Ienin had finally deserted the faith and had written a submissive letter to Stalin, promising allegiance if he were allowed to return to Russia. It followed, the secretary con cluded, that Mr. Trolzky cared tf hold no further communion with the press, and with this conclusion he closed and relocked the door. New England Hopes to Have Many New Factories - j BOSTON — — The migra tion of industries from one section of the country to another shown ir. recent surveys to have reached the point of a major industrial move ment, has raised hopes In New Eng land. The treasurer of the New England council, John S. Lawrence, told a recent meeting of the National As sociation of Real Estate Boards that “there is nothing new about industrial migration,” and that “New England has been watching this process going on for years.” He referred to Hi? migration oi New England’s textile industry to the southern states, saying that this industry constitutes only five per cent of the total manufactures in Connecticut and Vermont, 10 pel cent in Maine and Massachusetts and 20 per cent in Rhode Island, In the past, he said, communities relied largely on single industries or a limited number, whereas today the “tide of economic development has changed definitely toward a di versification of activities within our communities.” New England, he declared, wel comed migration of Industry and economic changes. “She has been successfully meeting these problems for over 100 years.” Australia Is Exporting Hard Wood to America SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA- - For many years Australia has im ported large quantities of soft wood* from the United States and Can ada. Now in return she is sending shipments of hard woods back to these countries. Although this export of hard wood is comparatively a new tradt the demand for the timber is sc great that lumber cargoes are reckoned in thousands of logs. The Canadian Explorer sailed recently from Cairns, North Queensland, with 1,400 logs for New York. The steamer Arcturus took 1,000 logs from the same port to port* on the eastern coast of the United States. Shipments consist prin cipally of the Australian varieties of maple, oak and walnut. -— - —♦» Bachelors whether male or fe male, have been further discour aged by Italy, which will give mar ried persons preference in select ing state employes. and a racket court was established to a:d him. Bees’ey said 86 rackets are oper ating in Chicago and that of the 25 cases referred to the racket court, nine persons have been in dicted but none convicted. He cred ited publicity with driving 57 rack ets out of business. Bombings have been the sinister answer of racketeers to those who ! defy them.
