New York-The Shakers are a
body of seceders from the Society OF
Friends formed by Ann Lee (Mother
Ann) of Manchester, England about
1857. and so called from the wild and
violent contortions introduced BY
them into their form of worship.
Their official title is The United So

FOR CHURCH MERGER
Trend OF Sentiment Throughout The
World In Favor-Talk OF 1t
In Belding

There is much discussion through
out the world and specially in the
United States, going on over the ques-
ton of merger of churches. In Mich
igan there has been an organization
effected known as the Michigan Fed
Grafton of Churches, and already it has
accomplished much work along this
line, in bringing together and uniting
several churches which are struggling
for an existence into one.
AS stated recently in the Banner,
East Lansing with members OF nine
denominations was merged into one
church and now the Michigan FEEDER
alton of churches is considering plans
for the unification of Presbyterian and
Congregational churches in Cadillac
and Traverse City, merging the two
churches in Cadillac into Presbyterian
church and the two in Traverse City
into Congregational church.
The federation also recommends the
giving up of Presbyterian churches at
Boyne Falls and Fife Lake, merging
there with the Methodists, in consid-
Grafton of the Methodists going over
to the Presbyterians at Tustin and
Mackinaw City. The North Baptist
and the Disciples churches on North
Woodland avenue in Detroit will merge,
if the efforts of joint committee are
successful. Duplication of effort thus
will be avoided in a new residence dis
trict. Bedding has nine or ten church
organizations requiring at a low esti-
mate SIS, 900 every year to keep up. If
three or four of these could be merged
into one it would be "a consumation
devotely TO be wished" There would
seem to be no reason why under present
conditions, the Baptist, Congrega-
tionalists and Church of Christ could
not with out much trouble get in UNI
der one banner for Christ, and work
for the salvation of men, and the up
building of Gods Kingdom on earth.
Certainly the Methodists and Free
Methodists ought To come together on

A Typical Shaker.

vliet, N. Y. They number Is societies
in the United States and have a mem
bership of about 1,72S
The Shakers believe In spiritualism,
practice celibacy, and community OF
goods, oppose war, refrain from oaths
and denounce baptism and the Lord s
Supper. They are noted for their
frugality, integrity and thrift. In
Mount Lebanon, their largest com
munity, there are several families
made up OF $50 persons. including 30
boys and girls. The other societies
are made up In about the same ratio
as the one at Mount Lebanon.
The announcement that they are
winding up their financial affairs in
Ohio and New York calls attention to
the final failure of one of the longest
existing of the many communistic ex
periments that have been tried in this
country
In the years following the American
Revolution, more than a score of com
munistic sects and colonies were es
tablished In the United States. Some
Of them appealed to the sensualties

surprising that they have endured So

all these social experiments. With

to put the new school code

cash value assessment. The figures
to valuation are taken from the
