What, therefore, is the ground for further separa-
tion? I have had many men in the army say to me
that in their opinion it was traditional piddling
and prejudice and ecclesiastical interests. One
keen intelligent officer put it this way : "The rea-
son why the denominations don't get together is
because a lot of frock-coated ecclesiastics are afraid
they will lose their jobs.'' The moral and financial
waste that comes from divided interests and over-
churched sections is becoming so apparent that lay-
men are losing patience.
