PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES
Rev. Dr.. R. F. Coyle Believes In
Ultimate Union of ALI Branches.
IL VIII Come About As Result of
the Reconstruction of the Creed
of the Denomination.

Denver, Col. Sept 12.-Rev. Dr. r. F.
Coyle. moderator OF the general assem-
bly, of the Presbyterian church, who
has just returned to his home in this
city from = lecture tour in the east,
believes that the time is not far dis
tant when the IL different Presbyterian
churches~in the United States will be-
come one. This probability, he says.
is due To the reconstructing of the
creed OF the denomination which took
place last May. Calyinistic and Ar
menian lines, which have SO long kept
his and the Cumberland Presbyterian
churches separated, have now, he says,
been effaced. and at present no distinc-
tions other than ceremonial separate
the two great religious bodies that be-
gan as one in the days of Cromwell.
Another STEP" said DIR. Coyle, that
our church took at the last general as
sembly in May, and one that tends
toward the unity idea, is to emphasize
Christian education. With intellectual
development, many sordid distinctions
that tend to keep churches separated
will be obliterated.
"Our church now has an educational
committee, and upon it has been I'M
posed the duty of raising s12.000,000
for educational purposes. Most of this
money will be spent upon schools in
the west, for our institutions of learn
ing in the east are in good shape finan-

Extend Their School Terms.

Last week State Superintendent
Whitfield received adyices from four
counties, which have extended their
school terms, Coahoma county
gives an eight months term without
any increase in the levy of that coun-

rather a surprise to the State super

thought probable that it would ex-
tend the terms. All these extern
