POLICY Dr. Taylor, Before Board Meet ing Here, Sees Leadership Chance Drifting Away WARNS OF GREAT DANGER The I'nited States, through adher ence to narrow nationalism nt the pres ent hour Is casting nway its chance to nssume world leadership, according to Dr. S. Karl Taylor, executive secre tary of the Tnterchurch World Move ment, comprising virtually nil Protest ant denominations; of North America. Doctor Taylor spoke before the nn imnl conference of the Hoard of Dome Missions und Chinch Extension of the Methodist Episcopal Churcii in Simp son Hall, Wesley Iluildlng, 1701 Arch street, toilny. The stctenienV came in a plea that the Methodist Churcii bend its full en ergies to co-operating with nil other Protestant denominations, dlsregaid sectarian lines, nnd not "mnke the nils take the government is making iu sne i Hieing its chance for world leader ship. "If an emasculated league of nations f,oes through," said Doctor Taj lor, "I sec nothing on the horizon to lead the world except the cross of Chiist. Aud if the Churcii falls In this hour of its opportunltj the world is doomed." Sees Peril iu Dhlsion The peril of the hour, Doctor Tay lor continued, is in the unrelated cam paigns of various church organizations for church expansion. At the present time there are under way or about to get under wnj, thirty movements nf as many Piotestunt denominations, for the purpose of raising a total of .?."4:i, 000.000. "The forces of evil," declared Doctor Tujlor. "are mnrshnled against us as never before. It costs far more to obtain pence than it did to light the war. All Protestantism must unite at least in Its spending of money. We must spend wisely and we cannot do that unless we work together. If I rend the signs aright, the time lias come for Methodism to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other forces of Christ. We must lime a large, statesmanlike pollcj, and nothing that smacks of sec tarianism or littleness." Doctor Taylor was executive secre tary of the joint centenary committee, which Inst jeur, in celebration of Meth odism's hundredth anniversary of mis sionary endeavor, raised $11:1.000.000 to be snent on n five-jear program of world regeneration. He instanced today some of the results nlieady accomplished bj means of ceiitenarj funds. Relief Sent to Km ope More than $400,000 already has been spent on furnishing relief to Europe, he said, mid ."5300.000 additional is to be put into relief work at' once. Food and clothing aic being distributed in Italy, German, France aud Belgium, along the Baltic and iu the Balkans. Around Chateau -Thierrj alone theie are thir-tv-five dcwistatcd French villages which are being rehabilitated b ceiitenarj funds. Their houses lire being rebuilt, their streets rcpaed, their factories re stored, and the returned refugees are housed, clothed and fed In the mean time. Iu the I nited States various proj ects alreudv under way were Instanced by Doctor Taylor, including an Ameri canization piojcct among Mexicans at I.oi Angeles. "One-tenth of the Mexicans of the world, :i.000,0()0, lie in the United States," he said." "They center about f.os Angeles. The centcuury is work ing out a great Americanization proj ect there which will do more to pacifj the border situation than all the ma chine guns ever Invented." At the Home Missions board confer ence which began at 10 o'clock this morning ami will last until tomorrow night, $10.."00,000 will be appropriated to be spent in 1020 on various church When you bring a car here to be renaired,-and we tell you it will be fin ished next day that goes.
