The Martin Luther Society of New York
has Just sent out to leading Lutherans in
| every part of America a request Tor ex-
pressions of opinion on the best form ior
dredth anniversary of the central act OF
the German Reformation-the mailing or
the these on the church door at Wltten-
berg Whatever form the memorial takes,
much preliminary work is to pc done,
since it is desired to have not only Lutn-
Grams, but members OF an Pr1testans
churches, as for as possible, TO take some
part in 1T. The society mentions three
possible forms for the Observation-Disclosures
lean Lutheran University, an American
Lutheran library, and a national Luther
monument.
ian General Assembly, made by the Pres
bytery of PittSburg, was framed IN New
York City, and by members OF the New
York P~resbytery. 1t was adopted nrst py
Pittsburg because it is believed It Will De
made stronger by that procedure. Ihe
General Assembly may refer the matter
to a committee, or 1t may order the New
York Presbytery to cite Professor Nc
Giffert before it for trial. to answer Tor
statements made in his recent book con-
corning the character of the Lords sup
per. Conservatives say 1t will so order,
while liberals express the behef that II
will refer the matter to a committee,
which will make it unfinished business Tor
the assembly of 1900. The only straw that
would indicate its probable action is the
one that the approaching assembly is COM
posed for the most part of moderate con-
servatives. OF the three men known to be

There is to be a union of the two small

favor of union, and action will be taken

Children'S Day, observed on the second
Sunday in June. is being found much too
late in the season for churches in cities,
save, perhaps, a few on the extreme north
ern boundary of the country. Many peo-
pie have gone to the country before that
date, and have taken their children with
them. In most cities the second Sunday in
May is now kept, though the original idea
of one general day is found not practical
BILE. A proposition is made to change the
date to the third Sunday in May.
