New York, April 2.-(Special.)- Hardly week passes that there are not additional evidences of the ten dency of the Christian churches to. get together. Recently the men of the Harlem churches of all denominations perfected an organization for the pur- nose of taking an active and organized interest in the improvement or fciVic conditions in that section of the city in particular and of the entire com-
 munity in general.
 Then A remarkable meeting attended by more than 100 Protestant ministers was held here not long ago to con- slider the unifcation of church work.
 The spirit of. the meeting was evil denced by remark by Dr. Alexander,
 one of the leading Presbyterian min isters of the city. that he could see no harm that could come to him oy being ordained to preach by man like Bishop Greer,
 If may be noted that in all these movements there is no tendency toward the organic union of the Protestant churches. Few leaders ,toft church thought believe that organic union would be a good thing for the 5churches.
 The essence of Protestantism IS the
 widest latitude as to non essentials anu sh ould this freedom be thought on mat ters of church government and detail be curbed it Is held likely that the result would be bad. Thereris strong sentiment however that in all lines of activity when greater results can be accomplished by united effort that
 the forces, of Christianity should, be orr ganized compactly and effectively. -1~- -g.-t. ~tr~t = xn of which I have written so much IS m line with this tendency
