"Dr. endman replied that we might confidently expect such a consummation in about three centuries.

That reply of Dr. Cadman may seem disconcerting, but he Is probably fairly close to the mark. "For years, our Protestant churches have been talking unification," said the speaker. "They hold meetings, they get together, each church states its position setting forth what It must Insist upon In event of unification, and what It Is willing to give up. The meetings end, with little or no tangible results.

EVENTUAL SUCCESS. Next year there are to be similar attempts to get together, and similar results. And so on for years. But I believe that this persistent getting together to talk over unification eventually will break down the opposition to unification, and eventually we shall have a group of churches meeting when of "no" will be the result. "It is not desirable that all the denominations shall give up their characteristics.

All that Is essential is that the various churches unit on some central authority or structure, through which the entire strength of the Protestant churchos may be brought to bear against the forces of evil and the eventual bringing In of the kingdom of God."
