CHURCH UNION.

meeting, and given out in the two Presby-
terrain churches, the joint committee Of both
churches met and 6xed upon a basis of
union, unanimously signed by the members
of the joint CONN ittee. Last night the two
congregations assembled in their respective
places of worship, to consider this basis and
vote upon union established thereon. Its
provisions were substantially as follows ::
That the pastors of the two churches resign,
and a new set of elders be appointed, com,
posed OF two from each church, of deacons
composed of eight, four from each congre
gregation. That the united congregation
worship for six months in the Second Pres
byterian building, employing the Rev. II.
A. Newell on probation for that six months.
/ 1t shall then be determined by plurality
| vote at what chur CHI the united congregation
shall worship for the half year thereafter,
at the conclusion of which period II shall De
determined by vote which house shall be re-
tanned as q permanent place OF worship

TrnAees shall be empowered TO neeosi"'e'
/ In the First church the meeting was pre-
sided over BY Mai II. c. Connolly, and the

versy on any of it's provisions ensued. An

ffty eight for and four against union. The
formal ballot was then taken with only two
out of sixty four votes against union. a
committee was then appointed to inform the
Second church of their action.
The Second Church proceeded more
slowly and like Walter Shandyr Sterne's i'm
/ mortal controversial hero, argued the point
in all its bearings. Judge Peasants and
Dir. Welsh, of Welsh & Gregg's grocery,
being chief disputants. They came 10 G
vote at midnight with the following result :;
SO for union to % against 1t. The three
fourths rule had been established, and con
sequently this result defeated the union on
the proposed basis. We omitted to men
ton that there was a provision made In the
basis for the defrsyment Of the debt OF the
Second Church amounting to SEC con-
tracted for recent repairs on that building,
1t was to be paid from the proceeds of the
sale Of the discarded church building. Those
of the Second Church who favored the
union gave this matter ofdollars and cents
its due prominence, and one OF them made
motion tina, those desiring a separate
church organization pay the debt. The
motion was not put, but it was proposed
that q subscription be raised 10 defray the
debt which was not "to count" as Rip ar
Winke hath it, unless the full amount Wa:
subscribed The subscription WAS taken NJ
and footed somewhat over $500. Ih'
meeting then adjourned. We are not pre-
: pared to pronounce upon the merits OF thu
.. controversy one way or the other, bet woul'
remark incidentally that It is an unheslth,
sign when that spirit OF unity, that is abov'
and beyond human preiudices or world,
interests is u OF to be found in church erected
to Hin and dedicated to the service Of To-
csrnate Weakness.
