ed to the synod.
Other important matters to be con-
sdered include the treatment of the
sick by spiritual methods; religious
education in the schools the promo
ton Of the temperance cause; meth
DDS Of refutlng the errors" of the
Higher Criticism, and the establish
ment of a church newspaper.
The most vital question before the
synod, that of promoting church
union, is presented in motion by
Judge Ermatinger, as follows:
THAT this synod consider it advis'
able to invite the cooperation Of
other Christian churches or bodies in
the furtherance Of the following OBJ
jects: More effective cooperation in
Christian and moral reform work.
The defining, territorially or other
wise, of the fields of missionary and
other effort on the respective
churches or bodies. The encourage
ment of a spirit Of brotherhood and
unity among all denominations Of
Christians, with a view 10 their ulti-
mate corporate reunion. Such other
subjects as the several participating
or allied churches, or bodies, may
from time to time agree upon, and
that a standing committee, composed
Of members from each house, be ap-
pointed to invite, meet, consult, and
act in concert with similar delega-
tions from the other churches or
bodies and to report from time to
time to this synod"
This motion, If carried in toto. win
be a most decided effort to bring
about the union Of the churches.
Another motion provides that the
synod place on record its opinion that
some way should be provided under
the public schools system to secure
such religious instruction in primary
and secondary schools and universi-
ties, the teaching of such religious
instruction as the different denomi-
nations may deem proper for their
children.
