PRESBYTERIAN NEWS.

PrelIminaries are now under way for
organic union of the Reformed Church
in the United States and the large North
ern Presbyterian Church. II It be con-
summated, and all seem to favor It, the
result will be religious body, Presby-
terian in name. OF 100000 members. Ac-
tion has now been taken by both bodies
looking to union. The Reformed Church in
the United States is the latest adopted
name of what used to be the German
Reformed Church. The Dutch Reformed.
formerly so called, took the name of the
Reformed Church in America It is now
the Germans and not the Dutchmen who
are uniting All OF them, including the
Presbyterian, were products Of the Re-
formations in Switzerland, Germany, and
Holland, corresponding to the smaller
Huguenot body in France. All have the
presbyterial system OF government, and
the confessions of faith are practically
the same, although bearing different
names. The Dutch branch Is that of the
Collegiate Churches in New York, with
many members among the Dutch settlers
Of Michigan. The German branch, now
uniting with the larger Presbyterian
body, has 100000 members, fully 200, 900 OF
whom are in Pennsylvania Their prop
erty is worth about S15.o 900. and they
have active home and foreign mission
boards. The Presbyterian Church North
five years ago absorbed the larger part
Of the Cumberland body, with 195,00o
members. The union succeeded well, save
in Tennessee. No untoward outcome Is
anticipated in the case OF the German
body.
Along business lines the recent Presby-
terian general assembly took five i'm
pCrtant steps. 1t named a purchasing

Archbishop Prendergast, who succeed
the late Archbishop Ryan as head Of the
Philadelphia archdiocese, Is the first
Philadelphia priest to be raised to episco-
pal dignity to serve in his own city.
Advanced to first rank at the age OF
sixty-eight years, he is familiar with all
details Of the church in Pennsylvania,
having served as priest under Archbishop
Wood, who ordained him in 1865 in the
same cathedral In Logan square, Phila-
delphia, wherein he now presides as arch
bishop. He was born in Ireland and
comes of a family that has given many
sons and daughters to the church, both
In Ireland and in America. Many had
expected the promotion of the Right Rev.

Indianapolis and rector of the American
College In Rome, who is Philadelphia

is well received throughout the province,
which consists Of the archdiocese and
diocese IN the State OF Pennsylvania
Apart from his local work, which has
been wholly constructive and along the
line Of the building Of schools in great
measure, the new archbishop has been
a leader in the Catholic Total Abstinence
Union, binding those whom he has con-
frmed to abstinence from alcoholic drinks
until they were twenty-one years OF age,
and in the ST. Vincent de Paul Society,
which he has much fostered IN local and
general work. In the United States are
now fourteen Catholic archbishops, one
Of them cardinal, but Archbishop Prem
dergast, the newest one, Is physically the
largest, for he is giant of six feet three.
His selection gives great satisfaction.
Mgr. William T. Russell, retiring presi-
dent, was POSTMASTER at the annual ban
quet OF the alumni association of the
Catholic University. He strongly IN
dorsed the project to erect a memorial
hail to Cardinal Gibbons. The following
officers were chosen for the coming year:
Rev. W. ]. Fitzgerald, president; Clar-
ence Martin, first vice president; Law
renee o. Murray. second vice president;
Rev. John W. Melody, secretary and
treasurer, and Rev. James O'Connor, his

shown that this expense Is eight cents

its graduates, Is said to be admirable In
spirit.
In the death of Dr. Arthur T. Pierson,
eminent Presbyterian clergyman. and
long editor of the Missionary Review Of
the World, the church loses another Of
her worthy sons. A graduate Of Hamil-
ton College and OF Union Seminary, DR..
Pierson served churches In Detroit,
Binghamton, and Troy, n. Y, and was
called to the pulpit Of the late Charles
H. Spurgeon, in Metropolitan Taber-
nacle, London, serving as supply there
two years.
Words Of approval are everywhere
heard on the appointment Of DR.. WILL

New York City. 1t is hard to follow men
like Henry Van Dyke, Maltbie Babcock.
and William Richards. DIR. Merrill is a
preacher whose gifts and personality
have enabled him to meet diflcult situ-
atoms, and he will enter the new field
after several years Of successful work in
the Sixth Church Of Chicago.
