ONE CHURCH FOR TOWN.
Proctor, VT. Has the Real Thinu in a
Union Church.

IN the village Of Proctor. FINLAND
county. Vt, the problem of church unity
has been practically solved, says Subur-
ban Life. Previous to its organization
there had been no protc slant church in
Proctor. There had been u chapel in
which bad been held Sunday school ser
vices for Protcstauts, but in 1889 the
chapel burned and the people faced the
question of rebuilding
They felt that the time had come for a
church organization, and the question
arose as to whether they should separate
and seek to build up Methodist and Con-
greeational churches, those two denomi-
nations comprising the larger part of
the communicates, or unite organically.
Having worked together tremendously
in the Sunday school, they decided to at
tempt real union church. That church
was organized, has been in existence
ever since, has been supplied by clergy
men of both denominations and was
never SO harmonious, united and aggres
sive as it is today.
There is modern church cdifcc built
of marble valued at $4,000, and plans are
now under way for the building of
parish house, for which a fund has been
raised The church policy is Independent
and undenominational.
The financial organization is an incor-
porated body whose membership includes
some who are not members of the
church. The regular business of the So
ciety is done through board of six
stewards, perpetuating title and an
office peculiar to Methodism. Thus there
is a perfect blending of Methodist and
Congregational methods in the govern
ing board.
Proctor is a cosmopolitan village and
there is in consequence gathering of
nationalties like that in Jerusalem on
the day of Pentecost. These people come
from the uttermost parts of the earth.
and that they are influenced by this
model church Is seen in the fact that in
the membership are to be found English.
Welsh. Manxmen, Hungarians, Swedes,
Germans and Spanish, besides native
born Americans. Yet they live together
in unity. The Sunday school enrolls. be-
sides those already mentioned, Italians,
Poles and Finlanders. and the parish in
cludes, with this heterogeneous aggre-
cation, Norwegians, Bohemians and
doubtless other nationalities. kansas
