Committee on Co-operation of Churches. The work
of this committee has not yet been defined, but it
was the purpose of the board to provide first for the
co-operation of the churches of Chicago and America
in the organization of the fair, and second, for the co-
operation of all the faiths of all humanity in a great
New World's Parliament of Religions. "The oppor-
tunity before this committee is so vast," said Mr.
Dixon, "that I am almost overwhelmed by the re-
sponsibility. Of course I shall have in it all only
the responsibility of an organizer. If the churches of
America are lo co-operate for the fair, that must be-
achieved under the leadership of great figures in
the American church."
