PROPOSED CHURCH H.
WILL BE CENTRAL ~
At NATIONAL CON

meetings on the evening of Occ
IL, will be occupied by the natiof~
council, the most important meeting
being that of the evening of October
is, when the matter of church union
will come up. Final action on the
matter may not be reached until the
following day.
Among the delegates expression is
divided as to whether the proposed
union of the Congregational body
with the United Brethren and the
Methodist Protestants is practicable
or desirable, although majority APP
pear to favor the project. Whatever
action may be taken, it is conceded
that the matter is the most important
that has ever come before this body.
The union will be recommended by
the committee which has had the
matter in charge since the meeting in
1904, held in Des Moines, la.
Despite the apparent majority opin-
ion favoring the consolidation, mum.
Der of the strongest Congregational
churches have gone on record as being
unalterably opposed to the project and
have virtually filed notice that should
the union be effected they will with
draw from the national body and
con tinue their work on an indepen-
dent basis.
In the ranks of the United Brethren
considerable opposition has also
arisen, and it is believed that If the
union plans go. through split in
that denomination will almost GER
! tainly result Methodist Professionals
almost to a man, favor union. 1t has
been suggested by some church lead
ers that the latter denomination be re-
ceived by the Congregationalists in
organic union, and that close fedora
ton be established with the United
Brethren. This arrangement, it is
held, would result in compromise
between the warning elements where
by the denominations would be saved
from disruption and the United
Brethren federation would naturally
in the course of few years, grow
into an organic union. Some action
along this line is likely to be agreed
upon, as a compromise measure, when
the matter comes before the national
! council for final decision next week.

A Silent Trumpet.

Alexander Graham Bell used to
teach the deaf and dumb-it was in
fact, his work among the deaf and
dumb that led to the telephones in
vention-and at dinner in Washing
ton he told this story:
MANY years ago an aged friend of
mine visited a church in Maine one
Sunday morning AS soon as the SER
mon began my friend, who was very
deaf, took from his pocket an ear
trumpet in two parts, and proceeded
to screw the parts together.
while he was engaged in this
work he noticed that the sexton, from
his seat near the pulpit, kept frown-
ing and shaking his head at him.
Finally just as my friend got his
trumpet Joined and made as If to put
it to his ear, the sexton fastened tc
him and whispered fiercely:
