Steps Looking Toward Union of
Prominent Religious Bodics.


Prominent Religious Bodies.
St. Louis. April 20.-There is a ma
tional movement on foot looking to the
union of the Congregational and Chris
tan denominations. Some months ago,
in addition to steps taken in Ohio and
the east, a union meeting of the ministers
of the two bodies was held in ST. Louis.
This meeting resulted in a second held
Monday at which papers were read. a
discussion followed which brought out
in the most fraternal manner the be-
liefs, lixenesses and differences of the
two denominations. Three commit
tees. composed in the main of pTomi-
nent ministers, were appointed to con-
slider suggestions made for coopera-
ton in educational, evangelistic and
benevolent and formulate plans TO be
presented at the next meeting. Com
plete union is not looked for at present,
but it is thought that plans may be made
drawing the denominations more close
" together i'm work and fellowship, in
the present and finally result ia union.

for that reason any distress, disease or

by mistake, attributed to female weakness
or womb trouble of some sort.
