teenth of February for New York, and has
not since been heard of.
The Reformed Church and the Presbyte-
rinns.
Committees representing the General Sy-
nod of the Reformed Church in the United
States and general session of the Presbyte-
rian Church of the South have held several
meetings, in which the subject of cOnsOlida
tion was thoroughly discussed. Great har-
mOny and good feeling prevailed.
The action taken was substantiated as
follows: The committee unanimously
agreed to report to the respective bodies,
which will meet in May and June this year,
that plan of cooperation is practicable SO
far as the leading features of the ecclesias
tic work is concerned, especially that re-
lating to home and foreign missions and
public action.
No steps thus far have been taken to-
ward etfecting or organizing union of the
denominations represented.
The harmony which thus far prevailed
renders it probable in the minds of many
that this contamination will be realized.
