Churches
To Form Union

Dayton. o., January 23.-This cit!
Is preparing to entertain a notable
church gathering Two weeks hence
when a general council OF the Metho
dist Protestant, Congregational an(
United Brethren churches ASSEMBLIES
to discuss the proposed federation Of
the three denominations. The move
ment Is OF extraordinary importance
inasmuch as Il Is the most ambitious
attempt yet made TO decrease Protes
tant division.
The coming council meeting Is ex
pected to define the scope OF the pro
posed union. There are some lega
questions involved, In order that thu
disaster that overlook the Presbyter
ians In Scotland may be avoided. II
Is felt to be possible that union o.
effort can be effected In benevolence
In educational work, and possibly IL
publishing interests. Some profess
to desire actual organic union, but
the general feeling is that this cannot
be brought about, at least not yet.
A practical union Of these three bo
dies would make a religious organiza
ton more than a million strong. The
Congregational church has $50, 00(
members and vast educational, pub
Ncation and missionary interests. The
United Brethren nave 100000 mem
bers, Ave colleges. q theological semi
nary. a series Of religious journals,
two publishing houses and fiourishins
missions in Africa. Japan and Porto
Rico. The Methodist Protestant
church has 1856 600 members. four
colleges. a theological seminary. sew
eral religious journals. q large pub.
house and foreign mission es-
adjustments in Japan and China.
