TWO CHURCHES TO UNITE.

II is probable that before spring is the Powers
Street Methodist Episcopal Church and the Leonard
Street Methodist Episcopal Church will unite under
one name. Both churches are in the Fifteenth
Ward. and within four blocks OF each other. The
first named church has membership OF 1876. and
the other OF ioi. 1t has been the impression for
long time among most of the members OF both con-
gregations that amagamation would be welcome
and would curtaii the expenses OF both church
societies. The Leonard Street Church was an off,
shoot OF the old Gothic Church at Even and Grand
sts. Presiding Elder Van Alstyne has the matter
or consolidation in charge. The Rev. Samuel II.
smith, the pastor Of the Leonard Street Church.
yesterday said:
"A movement to consolidate both churches has
been on foot for long time. Mr. Van Alstyne the
