form union in the sense of requiring uniform
methods, usages or even laws in local matters.
Each denomination is left free TO retain Its
present methods.
For instance. the Maryland Conference OF
the Methodist Protestant Church will continue
its present plan of itinerancy until it desires
to change it. The Congregationalsts will
continue to call pastors as they now DO until
they desire change. Such matters are not
legislated for in the National Council, but
only matters that affect the whole church to-
gether. But it is expected that the three
denominations in each State will gradually be
drawn together and finally be unified even in
forms and usages.
1t is believed by those promoting this union
that this plan offers great opportunity tor
much wider inclusion than it begins with, and
that other denominations, seeing how unity in
national affairs may be had without infringing
on liberty in local affairs, will be attracted to
the union This was the underlying motive
in selecting the name which, like the United
States, is plural in form but singular in effect;
wide enough for many States, but close
enough for one high purpose.
If The plan of union is adopted the united
churches will have a membership OF about
1900, 900, the fifth among Protestant denom-
nations

Found Dead.

Andrew Levine Lippy, aged about 45 years,
of Hampstead, committed suicide by hanging
himself in the haymow of Mr.. Murray's livery
stable, on Wednesday afternoon about 4
o'clock. Mr.. Lippy was last seen between
2 and o'clock. About O'Clock he was
found suspended in the hay loft hanging by
his neck. The cause of this rash act cannot
be accounted for except dependency, as he
had been sick for some time. He was at one
time in partnership with T. W. Murray in
the drover business, but they dissolved part
nership recently, and he had been working
for Mr.. Murray occasionally. He was a son
of the late Joseph Lippy, of Brummel.
He was of kind and generous disposition
and always commanded the respect OF all who
knew him. His friends were many, who will
deeply feel his loss Justice William A. Alb
bott summoned coroner's jury, but the in
qnest, however. gave no direct cause OF his
death.
He is survived by widow, who was Miss
Virginia Lippy, one daughter. Grace Lippy,,
and a son, Edward Lippy. His funeral took
place this afternoon at p. m. at the lamp
stead Lutheran Church.

DR. LEWIS DESCRIBES UNION.
Church Next to Approve.
From the Baltimore Sun of March &c.

Rev. DR.. T. H. Lewis, President of West
arn MARYLAND College, has returned from CHI
caqo to Baltimore where he attended Inc
meeting of commissioners appointed by the
CONGREGATIONAL. United Brethren and Memo
dist Protestant Churches, to consider and re-
port upon a plan for uniting these bodies.
NEGOTIATIONS were begun in 1908, and the
meeting in Chicago completed the business OF
the commission. 1t now goes to the churcnes
named for ratification. The plan OF union
proposed by the commission Will be presented
to the Congregational Council next OctoOef'
to the Methodist Protestant General Cohler-
ence in May, 1908 and to the United dn prem 9c
rem General Conference i'll May, 1909. Ii
these bodies approve the plan it will be sent
down to the annual conferences, and when
approved by them it will go into effect
Contrary to general expectation. DIR. Lewis
said. the meeting in Chicago proved to be
perfectly harmonious and an agreement was
easily reached. The plan was finally adopted
by a unanimous vote, although the delegate
from the Mississippi Methodist Protestant
Conference stated that he and his conference
would not 90 into it. DIR: Lewis thinks this
has no great significance and says it is a small
conference that has for sometime ''hocked to
ITSELF on the subject of sanctification.
The name proposed for the new organlza-
ton is 1.-THE United Churches, Comprising
the Congregational Churches, the Church OF
the United Brethren in Christ and the Meth.
odis, Protestant Church." The first part OF
the title will doubtless be the name generally
used, although it was thought necessary tor
legal reasons to combine all three names in
the corporate title.
DR.. Lewis believes that the plan OF the
union is a significant departure IN ecciesiasu'
cal methods. 1t differs from the Federation
of Churches recently proposed in the great
gathering in New York city in that it unltes
the three denominations organicaly in a ma,
tional council, with power to legislate for all
branches of general church work and WIN
COMPLETE control of all the societies and
boards engaged in this work. These societies
will be merged, and the work now done by
