Congregationalists
Not to Merge with
Other Denominations

Springfield. Mass, Oct 16.-There is
no prospect that Congregationalists
will form a merger with any other
denomination upon the basis of the
required use Of any creed. said Rev.
William Z. Barton of Oak Park. Ills,
in his address as moderator at the
twentieth regular meeting Of the Ma
tional Council Of Congregational
Churches. here tonight.
ut cannot be an accident" he said
that Congregationalism stands at
this time so nearly unvexed by those
unhappy and intolerant disscntions
which are disturbing some of our sis
ter denominations. The reactionary
spirit which followed the war and
which imperils the peace of certain OF
our great sister denominations has
found little expression among us.
"Congrcgationalism is broad enough
for men of both conservative and lib
eral systems of theology. Both types
Of mind are needed, both qualities of
religious experience are desirable.
1.-The various. organizations together
composing the Church of Christ will
need to learn If they do not already
know that Christian union and church
union are not synonymous terms and
that unity is far from being the same
as uniformity. There is no prospect
that Congregationalists will form a
merger with any other denomination
upon the basis of required use of any
creed and especially of any ancient
creed as a necessary part Of any
service in the church"
