The Commonwealth Committee,
u group of highly Interested and
public-spirited citizens banded to
gether for the purpose of trying
to remedy the inadequate Massa-
chusetts highway system, have
published a map showing the pro-
posed highway program, which was
prepared by the Massachusetts De-
partment of Public Works.
Three of the proposed roads
shown are of interest to Cape Cod ;
namely, one from Weymouth to
Sagamore Bridge, one from Saga-
more Bridge to Provlncetown, the
so-called .Mid-Cape Highway, and
one from Middleboro Traffic Cir-
cle to Bourne Traffic Circle. The
first indicates a construction of 38
miles; the second, 51 miles; the
third , 24 miles. The first is to be a
divided roadway; the second, di-
vided and single; the third , divided.
The costs are noted as $11,400,000.
lor the first ; $9,800,000. lor the
second; and $8,400,000. fir the
third.
A table of analysis is printed
with the map giving conditions In
the history ol the present road-
ways, such as type of construction ,
number of curves, mileage, acci-
dents which have occurred , amount
of traffic , width , and whether the
State or local government unit
owns the road.
The Commonwealth Committee

eral Street, Boston. Nathan Tufts

0 meeting, said those present came from the length and
breadth <>f Cape Cod, from Provlncetown on one end and from Palmouth
and Bourne on Hip other. In fact , over L'tiu op the audience were from
outside Hyannis, nine from ns far away iw I'rovlncetown. Iti the pro
cessional march to the altar were 36 ministers from the churohes ol
t' ape Cod, Others were In the audience. It was an ImpreHslve sight in
they came up the aisle two by two, their black robes and different
colored hoods and surplices , lending a brilliancy to the ceremony. Durlnt
the service three grand, old hymns of majesty and grace were sung t>>
the large congregation,
The speaker was Mrs. Leslie 15, Swain of CrnlgVllle, one of tin
United states Delegates to the World council of Churches Assembly
at Amsterdam last summer, who addressed the meeting on the High
lights of that Amsterdam Assembly,
The service was sponsored |>\ the Cape Coil Clerical {'lull , who feel
that, owing to the success o[ this meeting, they should arrange here
after an annual service of wide appeal, maintaining the momentum
gained from this atlrrlng of interest in Christian unity. The offering
which came to $1 III .lit) , will he contributed, after deducting the oxponsof
Of this meeting, to the work Of the World Council.
Because ol the universal importance of the World Conference tc
the Christian Churches Of tnis and other lands, and because many or
cape Cod were unable to attend Sunday's meeting w<> are publishing
Mrs. Swain's address in full.
I could nol hel p smiling at fl though! which crept into my
mind as we came up the aisle . This 1iixi week' s Churchman
tells the story of a little girl who, w it 1> hor mother, waa watch-
ing the procession of .
'ill!' Bishops entering the Cathedral Cot
the opening ol llic great l.ainliet h
Conference hold by the Anglicans
just prior to the Amsterdam
Assembly, The little girl , with the
disconcerting candour of children ,
said to hor mother: "Wouldn 't it
he awful. Mummy, if they should
all preach."
This candid comment reminds
me of another made to me in
South Station Ins! spring ns 1 was
starting lor Philadelphia '<> make
an address. I stepped up to the
Information booth to buy two days '
accident Insurance The clerk chat-
tily remarked , "You 're not Staying
in 'I'hlly ' long going to see rela-
tives?" "Nil, i ti!',v . "to make a
speech " "What on '.'", ho said , In-
terestedly "Religion,
" i murmured
"Well , what do you know ." he Kald ,
"we certainly meet awfully Strange
people at this booth. "
Perhaps he was right for II Is
as yet strange thai a member of
the laity and especially a woman ,
.should speak when so many clergy-
men are present, hut wo hollevo
it in going to become less Hliauge
lot time passes.
ti seems unfortunately strange
also to IIS to be meeting with so
many representatives of other de-
nominations, who worship differ-
ently from us, and yet who through
the years have lieeu trying to ex-
press, as we have , the unity of
the whole Church of Christ. May
lh( ! Strangeness Of this experience
pass away as we draw near to (hid
through Christ ami thus draw
nearer tn each other.
In a word that is what the Am-
sterdam Assembly was all about
our oneness despite our differences
through Jesus Christ , our Lord and
Saviour,

in fact, Amsterdam really started

llrsl great ecumenical meeting of
the Lutheran Missionar y Council.
Edinburgh was followed hy other
conferences at Stockholm, Jerusa-
lem, oxford , Madras nd several
Others and llnaUy culminated in

Such unit y in Christ will not
come unless all over th e world ,
christian cooperation obtains in
li»-al situations. As Gilbert K. Ches-
terton has said , "The universal
only becomes real when It Is local."
