A Jewish boy accepted a tract, "Isaiah's Por trait of Messiah" and immediately asked, "Can you tell me more about this?" There on a street corner in Chicago a 12 year old boy listened intently to the skillful presentation of the Scriptures and ac cepted Jesus Christ as his Messiah and Sav iour. A middle-aged Jew ess, after hearing the gospel for several years at Miami Beach called and said, "I am terribly distressed! Please come over. I must find the Lord today."

J n t h e M a y 5 issue o f The Los Angeles Times a news item ap peared entitled, "Ten Churches Approve Drafting Plan o f Union.” It was a report o f a meeting in Cambridge, Massachu setts, composed o f delegates from ten Protestant denominations and called "Consultation on Church Union” (COCU ) COCU is merely another attempt on the part o f Ecumenicists in the various denominations to bring about a church union regardless o f the costs in principles and convictions o f Bible-believing, dedi cated laymen and clergymen alike in the participating denomi nations. Incidentally, the participating denominations include the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the Christian Churches (Disciples o f Christ), the Christian Methodist Episcopal Church, the Evan gelical United Brethren Church,, the Methodist Church, the Pres byterian Church in the U.S., (Southern), the Protestant Episco pal Church, the United Church o f Christ, and the United Presby terian Church U.S.A. The leaders o f this movement "would hope that other churches would join us as soon as possible so as to share fully in the preparation o f the plan.” This is not the time or place to enter into an extended study o f the proposed merger o f these ten Protestant denomination^ but suffice it to say that any union o f the above-named group will have to consist o f a theological mish-mash o f the worst type. It is quite readily admitted that such a United Church "will con stantly remind itself o f the divisive dangers in verbal confession- and intellectual formulations.” It is stated further that "it will not permit the use o f any single confession as an exclusive re quirement for all or as a basis for divisions within the new community.” The great doctrines o f the infallibility o f the Bible, the virgin birth, the vicarious atonement o f our Lord Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection, may be believed by members o f the union, but it is not necessary to believe them in order to be or dained into the union as a preacher or to become a member o f one o f the churches o f the union. These must not be insisted upon as a basis o f membership either for laymen or the- clergy. Many or most o f the other major doctrines found in the Word o f God
