REUNION OF CHURCHES
FORMALLY ANNOUNCED

Des Molnes, Ia, May 28.-"I do
solemnly declare and here publicly
announce that the basis of reunion
and union is now in full force and
effect, and that the Cumberland Pres
byterian church is now reunited with
the Presbyterina Church in the United
States of Americra as one church.
With thesee words, uttered before
the general assembly, Moderator
Hunter Corbett officially established
the union of the Cumberland church
with the Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America.
The big ecclesiastical assemblage
burst into storm of applause.
The afternoon session was devoted
to a celebration of the 2OOth anniver-
sary of the church, its first presbytery
having been organized at "Old But
tonwood, the home of the first Pres
byterian church of Philadelphia, in
1905.
Effect of the Merger.
The action taken by the Presbyter-
ian general assembly at Des Moines
to unite the Presbyterian and Cum
berland Presbyterian churches, was
merely the formal contamination OF q
movement that was begun in 1894. In
that year the Presbyterians invited the
Cumberlands to join them, and last
fall two-thirds of the membership OF
both churches voted for the CONSOLE
dation, the action just taken being
merely the formal ratification of the
General assembly. In the assembly
only two votes were cast against the
consolidation.
Adds 1850 Members.
The Presbyterian church already
had 1880, 900 members, and it's union
with the Cumberlands increases the
number by 5000.
The Cumberland Presbyterian
church was organized in 1910 on the
bank of the Cumberland river in Ten
nessee. whence its name. It was the
elimination of a revival that went
over the country during the first de-
cade. when the number of converts
was SO large there were not enough
preachers.
To meet this demand, elders were
ordained to preach the gospel without
taking the course in theology that
was compulsory under the laws OF the
church, and separate sect was built
up. Most of it's membership has been

Loyalists Organize New Assembly.
Decatur, Ills. May 26.-Late in the
afternoon the Cumberland Presbyter-
ians over the protests of the loyalists
ratified the merger with the Presby-
terrain church and adjourned. Over
100 loyalists organized an assembly
anew declaring the union void and
proceeded with the organisation Of
the Cum berland chruch. They will
appeal to the membership to stand by
them.

The number of watches injured by falls
Increases when this fashion comes in
and it declines when the mode of at

are many other ways Of allowing

"Who handle their watches most
carefully, men or women?"
II cannot say, but women are more
accustomed to attach their watches to
their clothing or to chain worn
around the neck, so tnat they are In
less danger Of falling"
"How is 1t with children?"
"Girls are more careful than boys,
and their watches fall less frequently.

may be as injurious as a great one.

tions, in family papers and scattered
collections of manuscripts in Great
Britain, Ireland and America.
THE facts show that when English
men and other Europeans sneer at the
efforts of Americans to establish pedi-
grees they display not only discourtesy,
but ignorance. The lineages of the
leading American families bring to the
investigator extraordinary men and
women at every turn. and prove that
these families are proud and jealous of
their virtues and deeds, and are care
full not to marry beneath their level.
The persistence of lines of distinction
can be discerned right through the So
cial history of America, =,
While the Americans who are trac-
ing out and authenticating their an
cestry are not acIuated primarily by
desire to create an American aristo-
cratic class, they are in reality defining
what the world is bound to recognize
as an American aristocracy.'
