TWO PRENIIERs TO MEET.
Lloyd George and P0incare to Discuss
Moratorium for Germany.

PARIS, July PA conference be-
tween David Lloyd George, the British
prime minister, and Raymond POincare,
the French premier, TO discuss the ques-
tion of moratorium for Germany
has been arranged for the first part Of
August.
1t is expected that the conference will
assume the proportions of a meeting
of the supreme council as it is generally
understood here that Belgium is sure
to be represented and if the Italian
cabinet crisis is solved in time, that
Italy also viii have delegates present.
Realization that the reparations ques-
tion has reached a decisive crisis is
held responsible in French circles for
Premier Poincare overcoming his oft-ex
pressed aversion for supreme councils
and his decision to have the matter of
a German moratorium discussed before
the first supreme council he has agreed
to attend since he was called to the
premiership.

UpiversaIists and Unitarians, Having

Worship in Unitarian Building After
Observation-Disclosures Christened.

assembled in the First Universalist
church on Canal street yesterday fore
noon, when the pastor, Rev. Edwin p.
Wood, assisted by Rev. e. Q. $. Osgood,
conducted the final service to be held in
that church building, the Universalist
and Unitarian churches having federated
for the purpose of worshipping together
in the Unitarian edifce on Main street
under the name of All Souls church at
the close of the summer vacation. The
attendance was wen above 300.
Seven children were baptized at the
beginning of the service. The choir was
augmented by Alison Dugan violinist
and Miss Mildred Shorey, vocalist.
The pastors sermon Was a forward
look toward the larger work of the fed
Grated NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and work
ing together as All Souls church. The
sermon dealt with certain tendencies in
the Protestant church, viz, High Church,
the liberal thought, and the so-called
FundamentaliSm.
Attention was called to the compara-
lively small membership of the liberal de-
nominations, due largely to lack of
thorough organization and authority.
Uniyersalists and Unitarians have been
more intent upon the PRONUNCIATION of
an idea rather than the development of
an institution. Members of the con
gregation were urged TO a renewed 10y

sented by the federated churches, rather
than mere adherence to denomination.
