CHURCHES NERGE | T0 ELECT LEADER Congregational and Christian Denominations Name Los Angeles Man. By the Associated Press. SEATTLE, Wash., June 26.—Act- ing as a unit instead of two separate denominations, the General Council of the Congregational and Christian Churches got down to business at its convention here today. ‘The denominations merged yesterday and elected Dr. C. S. Patton of Los Angeles as moderator of the Congre- gational Church and co-executive of the combined groups. At a joint session Dr. Fred B. Smith, retiring moderator of the Congrega- tional Church, urged a vigorous educa- | tional program for the promotion of Ppeace. “The greatest issue before the hu- man race,” he said, “in its political, econamic, social, moral and religious life is the preservation of good will and peace among nations and races of the world. We have not developei any real sclentific methods of educational procedure to end war. We have failed to teach our youth the basic principles upon which = world peace must be founded and the fallacy of the war ! ‘The union of the Congregational and Christian denominations gave birth to an organization of more than 1,000,000 members in 6,670 throughout the United States. 1 Southern Churches Involved. Most of the Christian churches in- volved are in the Southeast and the Mississippi Valley States. Delegates said the consolidation was the largest to_take place in this country. ‘The Christian Church contributes a membership of 125,000 and the Con- gregational organization 950,000. The Christlan sect will elect a president, who will serve with Dr. Patton as co- | moderator. The co-moderators will serve until 1935, after which one execu- tive will head the consolidated or- ganization. Missions Already United. Forelgn missions of the two groups already have been consolidated under the American Board of ‘Commissioners for Foreign Missions, operating in 16 countries. Leaders of the merger negotiations expressed the belief that the consoli- dation represented & new trend in or- ganized religion and that similar action among other bodies would follow. Hope was expressed that a merged group under the name of the United Church of Christ in America eventually would be formed. ONLY ONE BRANCH HERE. Bcven Congregational Churches in D. C. No Christian Units, Only the Congregational churches of the District are affected by the merger as there are no Christian, or as the de- momination 1is properly named New- lights, here. The local churches, which are generally referred to as Christian, are in fact members of the Disciples of Christ. ‘There are seven Congregational churches in the District, the FPirst, Cleveland Park, Ingram and Mount Pleasant, white, and Lincoln Memorial, Plymouth and Peopless, colored. These Congregational churches are affiliated with the Middle Atlantic Con- ference, which comprises the District, Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey, in which there are 67 Congregational and 30 Christian or Newlights churches, which come under this merger. Names Are Confused. Dr. B. H. Melton, pastor of the Ninth Street Church, of the Diciples of Christ, explained today there has been much confusion for years as a result of the Newlights using the name of Christian churches. He said thos: who attend the local churches of the Dicciples of Christ, which are geoerallr known as Christian churches, are connected with the Disciples of Christ denomination. He explained the Disciples of Christ was organized about 130 years ago while + the Newlights came into existence about 100 years ago. The former has head- quarters in Indianapolis, Ind., while the headquarters of the latter is in Dayton, Ohio. ‘The pastor said the last United States census lists the Disciples of Christ as having a membership of about 1,500,000 in the United States, while the Newlights as Christian has approximately 100,000 members. 3 There is a difference in the two de- nominations, according to Dr. Melton. ‘The Disciples of Christ belief is similar to the Baptist in that those members are immersed while the Newlights use either sprinkling or immersion. COLORED CHUfiCH GROUP RE-ELECTS PRESIDENT Dr. W. H. Jernagin, Mt. Carmel Baptist Pastor, Honored at National Session. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mount Carmel Baptist Church, has been re- elected president of the Negro National Sunday School and Baptist Young People’s Union Congress, according to word recelved here today from Hunt- ington, W. Va., where the meetings are being held. Other officers chosen by the con- gress were: Rev. O. C. Maxwell, St. Louls, vice president at large; Prof. H. T.
