Christian Union.

seemed to be only adding confusion -

PLAN TO CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY
CENTENNIAL OF THE CHRISTIAN
CHURCH TO BE OBSERVED
IN PITTssuRG.

Elaborate preparations are being
made by the Disciples Of Christ for the
celebration of their centennial year
in Pittsburg, Pa. The date. October
ll-l9. 1909, is taken from the appear
ance Of a Declaration and Address"
by Thomas Campbell. father OF Alex
ander Campbell September !. 1909.
which was the first and only publf
cation of The Christian Association
of Washington, Pa" an organization
composed Of members of different
churches bent on Christian union and
missionary propaganda. Their first
church was organized in 1911 at Brush
Run Washington county. Pa, but the
year before friends of theirs had es-
tabiished one i'm New York city. and
in 1909 Barton W. Stone. who in 1882
formed a coalition with the Campbells.
had taken the same position in Ken
tucky. These foregleams were to the
declaration and address what the
Mecklcnburg declaration and the Bos-
ton tea party were tn Thomas Jeffer-
sons immortal document of July 4.
I5T6
From 1913 to 1929 the Campbells were
connected with the Baptists. But hav-
ing been received with indorsing the
Philadelphia confession Of faith and
evincing no disposition tn conform to
its tenets their relation with the regu-
lar ministers of the denomination was
Increasingly strained. Originally the
Campbells. Stone and Walter Scott. who
soon became a man of might i'm the
movement, were Presbytcrians. either
scccder tnow unitcdD or regular.
The disciples have grown westward
with the progress Of the nation. In
the United States they rank sixth num-
ercally among religious bodies. In
Missouri they are first, and nearly or
quite so " Kentucky. Indiana and
oklahoma. Throughout the upper Mis-
sissipni valley their influence is pro-
portionate to their membership, and
they are enlisted aggressively in the
cause OF prohibition and other reforms.
The Daily Missoulian., 1909-10-03
Actual Steps.

But the greatest rejoicing in con-
ventions and journals is reserved for
actual steps toward union. Many oc-
casions for this have come within the
centennial period. since October. 1905.
\ number of local congregations of
Raptists and Disciples have united.
In western Canada their provincial mis-
sinnary organizations have been ccm-
bined. In southern California a COL
lege is held Jointly with the congre-
gationalists. In Chicago the Memorial
Baptist and First Christian church
have been amalgamated. The high tide
of enthusiasm in every convention or
congress of the Disciples is reached
when some representative Baptist or
Free Baptist pleads for the reunion
of these two bodies as step toward
the answer to the Saviur's intcrcessory
prayer.
Five great auditoriums with aggre-
gate seating capacity of 10000 have
been engaged by the Pittsburg com-
mittee for the parallel sessions af the
celebration and convention. All are in
a compact group at the entrance to
Schenley park. President TAFT is ex
pected to be present and speak Satur-
day, October 16. Among other distin-
guished speakers are Congressman
Champ Clark. ex-Congressmen John
Allen. Lafe Pence and T. w. Phillips,
