Church Union in America" He said. I'm part:
The union of the American Presbyterian churches
would constitute a national church. and this is the
genius or Presby tertanism as in the churches
OF England, Scotland and Canada. We ought 10
have one national Presbyterian Church in the
United states. and the rollcau Of the General As

If there Is place for two political republics on
our soil. certainly there Is reason for the
isteuce of seven kindred Presbyterian dencmina-
tons some Of them covering the territory.
Here Is a great loss of power and efficiency.
