VOTE AGAINST
CHURCH UNION
[Continued From First Pagcl


cipal reason given was that both
Churches would have to sacrifice some
of the principles involved in their
doctrines to bring about a closer rela-
tionship.
The letter from the Baptist Confer
ence was read late yesterday after
noon just before the Eldership ad-
journed. A request was made that a
committee be appointed to arrange
for a closer union between the two
organizations but many of the Church
of God delegates expressed opinions
that while the entire Baptist con-
ference in the East favored the plan,
if it were accepted by the local
itiative one on the part of one unit of
the General Eldership of the Church
of God.
A closed session of the Eldership
was held this morning, and the work
of each pastor during the last year
was carefully considered. Many of
the ministers were commended for
their good work while a few were
censured.
The closed session was resumed
again this afternoon and continued
until a late hour. Tomorrow COM
mittee reports will be considered by
the Eldership. DR.. w. H. Guyer
president of Findlay College, Ohio
will make the principal address at the
educational services this evening. To-
morrow night missionary speakers will
be listed for addresses.
