CHURCH CONSOLIDATION.
Evangelical Churches Consider Adop
ton Of Trust Methods.

Trust methods are about to be adopt
cd by evangelical churches. DIR. r. f.
Coyle. who has just returned from the
meeting of the Presbyterian Social I'm
ion in New York City. says there is a
movement on foot by which Protestant
churches will cooperate with each
other and will consolidate many of the
smaller pastorates.
"As it is now" said DR.. Coyle, in
many of the villages one will find a
number Of small churches, none OF
which have a good congregation.
AT the Murray Hill hotel in New
York recently there was meeting of
representatives Of the Methodist Pres
byterian. Baptist, Congregational and
other denominations. Resolutions were
adopted looking to the consolidation OF
all Protestant denominations in small
places Thus. if the people of any town
want a Methodist church, all the other
denominations will help in establishing
and supporting that church. No other
denomination will establish a church
there until the community has grown
SO much that the first church is made
ouatc This will enable some one of
the denominations to have a successful
church where. under the present sys-
tenn. there would be four or FIVE
churches, none Of which would be sue
cessful
Il was surprised TO find how unaui-
nous all the representatives were con-
cerning the benefits this system would
confer. and | believe ii will be adopted
soon. Denver News.
