NAL council of the congregational
church, In session here. decided 10
send delegation 20 attend the dedi-
cation Of the John Robinson memorial
church. az marlborough. England.
Personnel of the various standing com
mittees was announced. Delegates
discussed the question of the training
OF ministers.
The report OF the committee on union
with the Free Baptists was read by
Rev. William III. Ward. The report
says that there are two ways In which
the union of separate denominations
can be made visible In the world.
One Is by actual corporate
union, the other by confedera-
ton, each denomination maintaining
its separate existence. but meeting and
comforting together at stated times for
their mutual advantage and the prose
cution of their common work. Where
corporate union cannot be secured con-
federation may partly serve the pur-
pose Of exhibiting the unity of believ-
ers.

church. must not mean mild ana lavender
moderation or deceptive self-control, but total
abstinence"
