(Continued From Page One)
we have that touches men of all
nations and races; that exists to
spread faith in the good God and
to invite mankind in a world
wide brotherhood.’*
Secretary E. D. Kohlstedt of
the Methodist Board of Home
Missions and Church Extension,
with headquarters in Philadel
phia, is spending nearly a week
in Nome. Alaska is only a part
of his administrative territory,
which embraces the United Stat
es, Alaska Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and Santa Domingo.
An enthusiastic inter-denomin
ationalist Dr. Kohlstedt believes
in emphasizing points of agree
ment among Christians of all
creeds, and urges them to work
together for the common good
! of every community. He says
! that more real progress in the
matter of interdenominational un
derstanding and mutual adjust
ments has been made in the past
five years than during the prev
ious two decades.
Following a tour of the Cook
Inlet area. August 14-24, he ex
pects to sail from Seward for
Seattle August 25 contact comm
tie's in several coast and mid
west cities enroute to Philadel
ph.a, where he expects to arrive
by September 10. It is his hope
that within a few years Christian
statesmanship and common sense
may bring about the federation
of all Evangelical missions in
the Territory of Alaska.
