CHRISTIAN UNION
TO Be DISCUSSED

The most burning question in mod

the Lutheran church this evening, 0e-
ginning AZ 1890 o'clock. The pastor
will give talk on christian Union
and the Church OF the Future In
which he will dwell upon some import
ant features Of the great movement
toward unification and solidifying the
visible church of today
Rev a. T. Kreyling, the pastor,
says "Blessed;as well as momen-
touEly important and very desirable,
this great movement is Of vital inter-
est to every thinking man and wo-
man. II finally successful it will 90
far toward removing offense and op-
position to the church here and
abroad. The stigma of selfishness and
bigotry which today rests upon the
Christian church, whether uniustly
or justly, will be effaced, and the
church united as one solid army can
march to battle oagainst sin, unbeliei,
misery and corruption In fact. the
remedy for a great many modern
evils lies in the greater efficiency Of
the Christian church brought about
by a close and true union Of the now
existing divisions of visible Chrlsten-
dom"
After the talk an open discussion
by all members and visitors will be
invited Accordingly, the pastor in
