With the thought that am thine;
That our lives in Joy commlngllng,

THE LIFE SPIRITUAL.

terians and United Presbyterians. who
have each a theological seminary at
Allegheny. Pa, are talking of con.
soidation. The subject of union is
becoming acute among the dozen or
more sects OF the Lutherans. The
Primitive Methodlsts are discussing
the subject OF union with Methodist
Protestants, while the latter are con.
siderlng union with Congregational
lists More and more as the reasons
urged for separate organizations
shrink TO their true proportions, the
union Of religious sects similar in
creed and polity and one in spirit
