CHURCH UNION PROPOSED
Reformed Presbyterians Permit Con-
areqation 10 Withdraw.

The general synod of the Reformed
Presbyterian Church in session at Ce-
darville. O., discussed the proposed
union with the United Presbyterian
Church. A minority report was laid
on the table in being opposed to union
with any denomination whatever and
the former asked for union with the
United Presbyterian Church under the
name of the United Presbyterian
Church of North America
The synod finally adopted a substi.
tute report for the majority, allowing
the first Reformed Presbyterian
Church of Pittsburg to withdraw. This
congregation will probably unite with
the United Presbyterian Church.
