Big men in the church are intensely interested in the get-together, universal church, and each year will mark a definite progress toward amalgamation of sects and divisions. There should be no Methodist Church North and Methodist Church South. There should not be churches like the Congregational and Presbyterian, whose creeds are identical, the difference being only in the officers. The country village of 1,000 population has five churches; it should have only one. The country is full of half starved preachers and weak, struggling congregations.
