CHURCH CONSOLIDATION.
Evangelical Churches Consider Adop

Trust methods are about to be adopt
ed by evangelical churches. DIR. Z. 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 Il is now" said DIR. Coyle. in
many Of The villages one will find a
number of small churches. none Of
which have good congregation.
AT the Murray Hill hotel in New
York recently there was a meeting OF
representatives. of the Methodist. Pres
hyteFian. 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 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

the denominations to have successful

one or two occasions when I tried a
small quantity of coffee which caused
