A Unity Move in Bulgaria
While formal projects for organic
church unions are, In the main, receiv-
ing serious setbacks, the spirit of uni
ty moves on. A notable expression Of
it came from Sophia. Bulgaria, recent
ly. At the American Board Mission
Meeting a large number of Bulgarians
were present; and an official delega-
ton of them unexpectedly presented a
twofold proposition to the foreign
missions.
One was that the work of the two
foreign mission societies laboring in
Bulgaria, the Congregational and the
Methodist boards, should be amalga-
mated; or else one organization should
withdraw. In reporting it, The
Orient says: This action was COM
plete surprise to the mission, and
originated entirely with the Bulgar-
ians.' Without a single dissenting

vance. The meetings closed with a
union communion service. Whereupon
the high church" bishop of Zanzibar
filed rather bitter charges against his
two fellow. prelates for having "recog-
nized" the other churches. The case
went up to the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and a board of consultant bish-
ops for decision.
The answer was recently given to
the religious press. 1t rather condones
the act as IAN emergency" but warn
ing is given that it must not be taken
as a precedent. While nonEpiscopal-
ians may, on occasion, he permitted to
partake of the communion in Anglican
churches, under no circumstances may
Anglicans accept the sacrament at the
hand of nonEpiscopal ministers.
Concerning addresses by nonEpisco-
palians in Anglican churches, and by
Episcopalians in churches of other
demonstrations, the archbishop says
that no fundamental principle seems
to be involved, the matter being one
for diocesan administration.
The deliverance of the archbishop
will be a severe setback to the cause
of union, especially on the mission
field.
Nevertheless, the men, mostly Epis-
copalians, who are behind the move

and the United Presbyterians, by their
highest courts, decided to proceed to
union. But the members of the
churches showed so little interest in
the union that the matter is now lying
in allegiance.
Practically the same thing is true of
the proposal to merge the Reformed
Church in the United States and the
Northern Presbyterian body.
There were long negotiations for the
union of the Congregationallsts, United
Brethren and Methodist Protestants,
but that. too. has come to naught.
Nevertheless, federation and CO.
operation are on the increase; and
there seems to be a growing tendency
to let churches work together, devel-
oping their individual and federated
efficiency. trusting to time to bring to
pass organic union.

voice, the Americans present, both
Methodists and Congregationalists, de-
cided to ask the boards to comply
with this request, so that the Evangel-
ical Church may present united
front to the country.
This was in accord with a similar
movement in other mission fields,
notably China. So was the second
resolution, that the natives should
have large share in the administra-
ton of the church. Missionaries from
many lands say that the latter move
is irresistible. When finally Chris
tian union does come "the churches
that are in Asia" will havea voice in
it.
Lutherans Plan Federation
The most promising of all the pro-
jects for church union or federation
now to the fore is that which is being
considered by the various branches Of
the Lutheran Church in the United
States and Canada. Seven of them
have united in tentative steps, look
ing to Pan-Lutheran federation in
America. This would bring into a
common body the two and a quarter
million Lutherans in North America.

A FALLETH.

EVERY nee in awhile some trivial
incident happens which brings fore.
ibly to the attention of the thinking
person the helplessness of man-wlth
all his boosted power-before even
the smallest natural force.
/ OF course, much has been done in
the way of utilizing natural forces
and working in harmony with natures
laws. Man is disposed to boast OF his
ACCOMPLISHMENTS in the field OF cleo
tricity-and very rightfully so. And
vet a. sparrow, just an ordinary little
brcwn-winged English sparrow, the
other day, stopped the entire street
car service of San Antonio for nearly
ar, hour, and for that length of time
matted all electrically driven machin.
cry in the city.
The loss of time caused by the lit.
tie sparrow would, if it could be com.
puted, aggregate a staggering total
not to mention the money loss.
When the electric power was shut
off in San Antonio that morning, due
to a short circuit somewhere. along
the line, trouble" men were sent out
in all directions to seek the cause.
Finally it vas located.
"A little sparrow had settled on a
guy wire, then fluttered over on a
feed wire carrying a voltage Of $500.
A short circuit vas instantly formed.
Tne bird, of course, persisted.
Thus can SO insignificant a thing as
a little winged creature pausing in it's
flight from field to nest, confound tho
work OF scientist and skilled laborer.
