Niew Is Expressed by Dr. James
1. Vance Before Woman’s Inter
church Conference,
“Can the Protestant churches of
North America do teamwork?’ in
quired Dr. James I. Vance of Nash
ville, one of the founders of the In
terchurcli World Movement, at the
Thursday morning session of the
woman's State conference of that or
/panization in progress at the Pied
mont Hotel assembly hall. And he
answered his own question, declar
ing “If the Protestant churches will
do teamwork they may expect big
results,
“Co-operation does more than blend
Separated forces into one. It multi
plies their efficieicy and quintuples
their power. Co-operation thus be
comes the strategy of victory. Is it
possible for Protestant churches to
put it into practise Why not? They
have much in common. They have
all big things in common. They dif
fer, to be sure, on certain minor mat
ters, such as theological emphasis,
the interpretation of orders, the form
of government, the mode of baptism.
But none of these differences is so
great as to lead any but the most
bigoted to deny to his fellow Chris
tians and other denominations a place
in the family of God. ‘
“Our goal is brotherhood, yet the
moment an effort is made to harness
the churches in the same team trou
a'le begins. Jealousjes arise, compe
tions are accentuated, lines are
cleaved, and the sacramental host is
dismembered.
EFORT FOR TEAMWORK,
“An effort is making today to se
cure teamwork on the part of the
Protestant churches on a scale never
before attempted. I refer to the In
terchurch World Movement. It is a
movement, not an overhead church.
The goal to be reached is the same.
*The only difference is a co-ordinated
movement instead of a discussion as
¢0 ways and means. |
“It is not a movement iz behalf of
organic union. It is not a movement
to change anybody’s creed. It is not
a movement in the interest of any
particular denomination. It is a get
together movement. It is an effi
ciency movement for acquiring the
resources of life and money adequate
for its task; for the conservation of
resources; in the methods to accom
plish the results sought. It is a world
movement. That is our objective to
day—a world brought to Christ.”
Dr. Vance repeated his address be
- fore the State pastors’ conference at
‘the Central Congregational Church
Thursday afternoon.
WHEN THE CHURCH. WILL WIN.
“The allies won when they changed
their psychology from saving Paris
to taking Berlin,” declared Dr. Wil-
Jiam Hiram ioulkes, head of the
Presbyterian in the opening address
of Thursday’'s session of the Pas
tors’ Conference. “The church will
win when she changes her psychology
from saving the church to taking the
world.” .
Following his appearance before
the pastors’ conference Dr. Foulkes
addressed the women’s conference
with the same presentation as heard
by the pastors.
The Thursday morning session of
the pastors was featured by other
intensely interesting addresses.
W. W. Jamison of New York, pre
sented the cause of religious educa
tion. He suggested that the churches
get behinr the Smith-Towner bill as
one means of remedying the inade
quate school facilities of the na
tion. He declared the provisions of
the Smith-Towner bill would aid the
situation from a religious standpoint
because it would stimulate interest in
all education.
INDUSTRIAL CHANGES.
Dr. A. E. Holt, of Bo*n, social
service secretary of the "Congrega
tional Church Board, and a former
¥ort Worth, Texas, pastor, addressed
the pastors on the theme of indus
trial relations, in which he outlined
the changed conditions that have
" come about in industry in this coun
try.
Dr. B. B. Corben of New York was
the concluding speaker of the morn
ing. He presented a number of
stereopticon charts giving some in
teresting statistics on the condition
of the churches of America and on
the opportunities awaiting them for
eonstructive service through unified
effort. He concluded with a stirring
plea so the churches for a greater
rhanifestation of the spirit of prac
tical Christianity.
. Seventy-five cents a year for
ehurch support is the average con
tribution in eight typical Georgia
gounties with a population of 1104000,
according to Judge H. I. Anderton,
rural survey supervisor for Gnorgia‘\
who spoke Wednesday night before
the pastors’ conference of the Inter
church World Movement,

450 Students of
Clemson on Strike
GREENVILLE, S. C., March 11.—
Virtually the entire freshman and
sophomore classes and the one year
agricultural class of Clemson College,
compromising fully 450 men, walked
out in a body yesterday, following re
quests made of the president, W. M.
Riggs, that the case of Cadet T. E.
Crossland, of Bennettsville be recon
sidered.
ern train number 40.
The Crossland incident merely
served to culminate a sentiment
which has been brewing for some
time, the students say. Chief among
the charges of the students are that
fair trials are not accorded cadets,
that the discipline imposed at the
college is unjust, that the sanitary
conditions of the various buildings is
bad, that students are unnecessarily
required to work in the kitchen, and
that the general situation there is
to their minds unsatisfactory. ¢

men and women represents the business
and civic interests of Atlanta; and
Whereas, The business interests of our city
; are being vitally and injuriously affected,

Whereas, In our opinion this strike is abso- |

repudiation by these strikers of their con
tractual obligations and a renunciation of
the principle of voluntary arbitration for
- which organized labor stands; '
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED,
That we condemn this strike as unwarrant
ed and unfair, and call upon everylabor or
ganization in Atlanta to aid in upholding o
their own principles of freedom of contract |
and voluntary arbitration, and urge that
these strikers themselves abide by the result
of an arbitration duly entered into, and in
the interest of Atlanta as Atlantans that they
