PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES
PLAN GREAT UNION

Winona Lake, Ind, May 12.--Out-
ward and visible signs are already to
be seen here that great denomina-
tional gathering is on the tapis. Near
ly all available room in hotels and
boarding houses has been reserved, and
men OF ministerial garb and counten-
ance have already arrived to complete
the, flnal arrangements for the Prcsby-
teriaf1 general assembly, which con-
yenes here next Thursday for session
OF two or perhaps three weeks.
e 1t will be the largest gathering of
representatives of this great denoni-
nation that has been held in the CEN
stury OF its existence 1t will, more
over, be one of the most important.
Church union, the question OF a ritual
for Presbyterian services, the proposal
for separate presbyteries for colored
members, and plans for a Presbyter-
ian cathedral at Washington, ID. c..
are the principal features In the pro
grannme The choice OF moderator
is, still a matter OF speculation. The
leading candidate at present appears
TO be the Rev. James b. Moffat presi-
dent OF Washington and Jefferson Coll
lege. s
The general subject Of church union
is to come before the assembly in vari-
GUS forms. The movement for union
with the Cumberland Presbyterians
has carried in both bodies, but with
small majority among the Cumberiands
and with the opposition of some Of the
largest presbyteries Of the PTesbyter-
iaps. so that obstruction effort is anti
Icipated The plan for congress pf
federation churches will call forth ami
mated opposition, ais many feel that
there are already too many organize
Etions. II IS d scheme for ali alliance Of
reformed churches holding the CAL
Evanistic system throughout the world.
IA separate movement will eliminate
for union with the Reformed Prcsby-
It6fiaai Church. 81
The overture for separate presbyter-
les for coiored people has been carried
but the colored commissioners viii
make an attempt TO stay the operation
|of the overture, the passage of which
they strentiously opposed.
Probably the warilaeSt discussion of
TALL will be over the report of the COM
|naittec on forms and Ceremonies. I,

you must pose for your picture-tney
