REVOLT OF LAITY
IS BISHOP'S FEAR
Ethelbert Talbot, of Beth-
lehem Diocese, Urges
Union of Churches
TIRED OF BICKERINGS
The peril ot a revolt by lajmen ot
Protestant denominations was pointed
out by Bishop lithclbert Talbot today
at tho conference
hero on church
jnlty.
Unless the clergy
of tho xarlous de
nominations get to
gether and accom
plish organic unlty
ln tho church, the
bishop said, the
laymen themselves
will bring this to
pass by a religious
rexolutlon.
Bishop Talbot is
head of the Episco
pal D I o c o a o of
Bethlehem and is
mo of many noted
; 1 e r I cs attending
.he conference,
r t which opened yes-
Bf.StjdlTAt,BOT teida- In "Wllhers
su jpoon Hall. Fifteen
Protestant denominations are repre
sented. .
vl'eople Slrk and Tired
'The' people afo sick and tiled of
bickering and lasted effort in the
church," said Bishop Talbot In hjs ad
dress. "Piesent methods aro a burden
to Christianity.
"As one body only can the church
appeal to men as the mission of Christ
on earth. Wo must have organic union
if, we aro to make the .work of Christ
a success."
It was here that Bishop Talbot re
ferred, to tho vital necessity of Instant
co-operation In 'the achievement of an
organic union of Protestant denomina
tions, if a revolt by tho laymen is to
bo averted. --
A lloon From War
"The BolshevIM movement Is spiead
Ing through Kurope," Bishop Talbot went
on. "tiniest is bound lo develop here.
If conditions in this country become
slmlllar to those In Kurope, a great,
united Christian chuich will bo Impera
tive to save the country,
"We have tho fragments of such a
church at this meeting. Let two 'or
more begin the movement for unity, and
the others will follow. The desire for
chm-ch union now prevalent in the United
States is the greatest boon conferred
upon us by tho war. Now is the time
for the Christian church to take advan
tage of the patriotic spirit of ur.lon per
vading the country. .
"For ono thing, a union ot churches
would dispense wlttj unnecessary labor.
For example, the salary of sextons might
bo done away with, and tho money thus
saved would put 50,000 missionaries In
Germany, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey.
This1 would be better than any league
of nations."
, The first speaker today was Professor
Willlston Walker, Tale University. He
spoke for tho Congregationalism, nnd
pledged the co-operation on the National
Union of Congregational Churches in
making organic union a fact.
"The time of this union is here," Pro
fessor Walker said. "The evils of
denominatlonaltsm were never more ap
parent. There must be no patchwork
of concession in any plan of unity' It
must come as an, outward acknowledg
ment of an Inward fact,
"Already, a growing spirit of co-operation
among denominations has wrought
cnanges.aTno denominations are now
closer together than eer. This is partly
a result of the War.'1

In Pennsylvania, especially In the
coal region, revolting londltluns have
been discovered At the homes of some
of the mine woikers the conditions weie
almost unbelievable. It has been shown
that Improper housing conditions have
affected the inergy ot tho mine workers
and therefore been one of tho causes tf
decreased production.
It has been learned Incidentally that
many of the defective homes were own
ed by wealthy .men who were unaware
of the conditions ot their property. They
weie speedily notified by the
vi iiiu VT1JU,1'
ment of Labor and made tho neeessaiy
improvements without ucla.
Agents of tho Labor Department, It
has been learned.-aro also 'making a close
