TO UNITE ALL CHURCHES.
CHICAGO. Sept. 29.-To unite all
the Protestant churches in the

does not think the different denoni-

can be brought into closer relations

language, as some of the forms Of

tion should take part in the services
and allow the emotional side of the
religious nature to find expression
