TRECHURCH UNION
TO BE DISCUSSED
THREE DENOMINATIONS TALK OF
UNITING
Congregational, Protestant Methodist
and United Brethren organiza-
tions Express Desire to
Form Compact

At the coming national session of the
Congregational church the question OF
tri-church union will come up. The prop
osition to unite with the Protestant Meth
odist and the United Brethren churches
will be one of the main issues.
Rev. w. H. Day will leave the first OF
the week for Cleveland, Ohio, to attend
the national council ind missionary ami
versaries OF the Congregational denomi-
nation, which will be held October to
II, inclusive DR.. Day will discontinue
his series of evening sermons on THE
Social Principles of Jesus until after his
return, the latter part of the month.
DR.. Day will go to the convention favor
ing the union in the main idea. He says
that it will strengthen the mission work
of these denominations, will help the
weaker churches and prevent the forma-
tion of needless churches. The foreign
and home mission work would be united
and create great saving in expenditure.
thereby allowing of greater work. DR..
Day is distinctly in favor of the main
principle, but not all the details. 1t is
expected that the question will come up
at the session next year for final de-
cision.
