of the Methodist Protestant Church
with the United Brethren in Christ was
declared practicable, possible and de-
sirable yesterday at the afternoon ses-
sion of the Methodist Protestant General
Conference at ST. Johns Church, st.
Paul and 27th streets.
The church union commission of the
Methodist Protestant Church was
thorized by a special resolution, unani-
mously passed. to continue negotiations
with that church. to meet with it's COM
mission as soon as possible to formulate
plans of union and to submit the plans
to the general conference at a special
session for immediate action.
Many resolutions, amendments and sub
stitutes all tended toward immediate ac-
ton for union with the United Brethren
Church. This was the overwhelming
demand of the conference. as the general
belief was that the longer drawn out the
negotiations are the farther the churches
will drift apart
"Quick Action Necessary"
Rev. DIR. F. T. Tagg, editor of the
Methodist Protestant. was the author of
the resolution finally adopted He said
in introducing 1t: We can continue
these negotiations for ten years and be
farther from union than we are at this
moment. Quick action is necessary If
IT were possible. ! would wish to see the
simple question: Do you want to unite
with the United Brethren be sent to all
our annual conferences for immediate
action. We then could declare the union
accomplished and arrange the details
afterward.
The resolution stated
We believe the union of the Methodist
Protestant Church and the United Breth-
rem In Christ Is both practicable and pos
sible. Therefore be il resolved that we
authorize our commission on church union

tons with the commission Of the United

The funds placed in our hands are
