''union" not an association all
the churchts still retaining their CON
nection with the old Philadelphia
At that time t157Si the
church refused TO sever their cnn-
nectlon Fl, m Philadelphia association.
The ''union" was formed mainly
through the efforts Of DIR. Cook and
President Weston OF Crozer Seminary,
who are styled its parents, and
proved bless ng to the churches of
this State.
AS was expected by its originators
the time came when separation from
the Philadelphia association was de-
by the churches, aud seven
years ago the ''union'' formed itself
into an association and affectionately
from their Philadelphia con-
nection. The seventh annual meeting
IF this as:ociat on is to be held with
the Calvary Baptist Church in the old
sdifics wherein the union was formed.
The programme is strong and interest

,iation.
