Presbyterian Church South, have held
several meetings. at which the subject
OF consolidating the churches was tho
roughly discussed. and the utmost har-
mony and good feeling prevailed. Their
final action wac substantially as follows:
The committees unanimously agreed to
report to their respective bodies, which
will meet in May and June OF this year,
that plan Of cooperation is practica-
bic, 80 far as the leading features Of the
ecclesiastical work is concerned, espe.
cially that relating to home and foreign
missions and the public action and inte-
rest. No steps thus far have been taken
toward effeoting the organic union Of
the denominations represented, bat the
harmony which has thus far prevailed
renders it probable, in the minds of
many, that this consummation will be
realized at no distant day.
