May I. The union of tho nations in the cause of peaco and tho union of tho Methodist Churches of Amor- tea In the cause ot unrisunniiy were endorsed "by the bishops of the Methodist p'piscopal Church in th'ir address to the quadrennial general conference here today. The report, the official pronoVnce-ment of the Kplscopary was pre sented by Rishop Joseph Berry. of Philadelphia, senior msnop oi the church. Limitation of the church's ban on amusements to those which can not be on Joyed In the namo of Jesus Christ was recommended by the bishops, who also suggested means of combating ihe divorce problem and favored prohibition enforcement and restriction of Immigration into this country.

They reaffirmed tho church's fundamental doctrines in view of present day theological controversy. Condemning war as "a law of the jungle'' and "organized re-vengo" the bishops advocated tho entry of the United States into the world court. I "Tho Church of Jesus Christ," the report read, "must never again quietly acquiesce In national or international politics which promote war-like tempers and attitudes. It must do more than mildly protest. The whole strength of the United Church of Christ must ho thrown with compelling force attalnst warlike policies and preparations.

"Our position must be that International warfare unless indis putably In self defense or defense of humajiity, ts a monstrosity i i the pagan past which hflfl abso- lutely no proper place in tho program of the modern world. Wo respectfully remind the me.nt of the United States that wo expert the federal authorities to discover a method other than war to settle International disputes. Emphasizing the duty of America to use her vast resources and wealth for tho succor of other nations, tho bishops emiorsftd tho state mo no of President Coolidge that the nation could not main- tain itself by material prosperity I alone. "Wo believe profoundly" they said, "that the United States of America should oo-oprato with tho other nations of tho world in bringing about world justice and world peaco. We, therefore, give our hearty endorsement to the proposition that our, country shall become a member of tho permanent court of international Justlc And it in our Arm conviction that all nations should aree to submit to impartial tribunals all disputes that threaten tho world and which cannot bo adjusted by tho usual process of diplomacy." In their endorsement of the unification of the Methodist Episcopal Church with tho Methodist Episcopal Church, South, tho bishops recalled with satisfaction as "impressive" development In Christian unification.

Two branches of the Evangelical church had joined, they said, threo groups of Lutherans had flonn tho same and progress was being made In the merging of three Influential denominations in Canada while the union of several branches of tho Prosbytor'an Church was also under consideration. "We cannot refrain from an expression nf unspeakable gratitude and rejoicing; that the joint commission (on unification of the North and South church) has been ablo to agroo upon a plan for bringing together these long severed branches of our common Methodism, It in 80 years since tho churches divided In the new conditions that now exist in tho United States and tho world we firmly bollove that united Methodism wil have a multiplied power frfr Efood.
