Rural churches urged to unite at national conference
Speakers led by Gifford Pinchot urged consolidation of country congregations as overabundant and underpopulated. The conference emphasized community over sect, noting three to seven churches within four miles, and called for cooperation to strengthen moral life, education, and local prosperity. Prominent church figures from many states participated, with Wilson expected to speak and sessions continuing through Friday.
