VAST UNION IS
CALLED URGENT
Educational Leader at Pen
Mar Seeks Immediate
Church Merger
PEN MAR, PA.—(UP)—Immedi
ate and unconditional reunion of all
branches of the Presbyterian church
was advocated here today by Dr.
William Chalmers Covert, of Phila
delphia, general secretary of the
Presbyterian Board of Christian
Education' in an address before
thousands of his co-religionists at
the annual Pen Mar reunion.
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.”

terian unity under the name of

‘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.”

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.
