FRATERNAL UNION COMMITTEE.
DIR. Landrith Says 1t VIII Meet I'm st.
Louis Sept. p.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, Sept. u.-Rev Ira
Landrith, the member of. the Cumberland
Presbyterian committee on fraternal union,
said when shown DR.. Coyle's interview:
AT the last meeting of the Cumberland
Presbyterian General Assembly in this city
in May, a committee was appointed to con-
fer with a similar committee from the
Northern Presbyterian Church for the pur-
pose Of selecting a basis of union upon the
terms suggested in DIR. Coyle's statement.
This committee will hold its first full meet
ing in st. Louis Sept. 29-3O, and on the fol-
lowing day II is expected that a joint meet
ing of our own and the Presbyterian COM
mittee will be held in the same city. Thus
far nothing has been formulated by our
committee. Our own denomination has
| shown from the first a most cordial spirit
favorable to union If 1t can be accomplished
| upon terms mutually satisfactory to the
churches concerned.
Certainly If IT is made plain that DIR.
Coyle is correct that the lines which have
| so long kept his and the Cumberland Pres
| byterian Church separated, have now been
effaced, there will remain no sufficient rea-
| son for the separate existence of the two
churches. I am particularly anxious that
an early union, If one is accomplished at
all, may include the Northern and the
| Southern Presbyterian churches and our
own.
