Henry o. Fulton, cashier Of the

this morning from Pittsburg, Pa,
where he has been in attendance
upon the Council of the Reformed
churches of America holding the
Presbyterian system. Another
church joined the council which now
represents seven of the Presbyterian
denominations Of America.
Mr.. Fulton was very much graft
fed at the progress Of the work OF
the council. The council is purely
a voluntary and advisory body with
out power to legislate, but 1t Is en-
gagged in the work of bringing about
cooperation between the churches
holding the Presbyterian system in
the states Great good is being ac-
complished for the kingdom. In the
foreign fields there is already coop
Grafton between protestant denomi-
nations to avoid duplication of work
and the council proposes to do in the
Presbyterian system in America
what is being accomplished by the
protestants in the foreign field.

Mention Of the date, May is. the

leave the selection Of his food to
Butts" said MCGOWAN. "on Wed.

has eaten only eggs, out Of regard
for Butts, who is Catholic. Richie
SON has food especially cooker for
him because he pays for 1t. Much Of
