Of this Clearly written novel
by q Canadian author, who
is as yet little known in this
country.
At Eleanor's birth, Lilly

ton that his name and back
ground afford her, Lilly goes
diligently to work as a house.

goads her to seek greener
fields inside the pastures Of
responsibility.
At County Hospital
Lilly becomes an assistant
to the matron of a county hos
pital, and more silent, indus
trious and blameless than be-
fore. And Eleanor, brought up
as rigidly as a royal child, is a
living testament of Lilly's de-
votion and austerity.
Then, just as industry and
sobriety are to bestow COM
plete impeccability on Lilly,
her past rises up to smite her.
Lilly's flight and subsequent
felicity are told in the same
matter-of-faot tone as her
previous adventures.
What gives "Lilly's Story" it's
particular flavor is the quiet.
underlying irony. Lilly living
a lie becomes so completely the

believing it-or so it seems, in
the wonderfully sly ending.
Mrs. Wilson writes with a
mastery and spare distinction,
and without ever directly bid

Church union movements are
making cautious progress among
Protestants. Several major unity
projects are currently under
way, but there appears to be a
disposition. even among merger
advocates. not to rush things.
The idea that church unity
must have a deep spiritual basis
and that it should not be re-
garded as an end in itself is be-
ing increasingly expressed by re-
ligious leaders.
Union efforts are being fos-
tered among various groupings
of churches - Presbyterians,
Lutherans, and Unitarians and
Universalists. Several smaller
denominations also are in process
of merging. Last week two small
Evangelical Mennonite groups
united at a convention in Omaha
to form the Conference of Evan
gelical Mennonites.
OF the larger groups, the Uni
tarian- UniverSalist union is the
nearest to achievement. Early
this month it was announced in
Boston, headquarters of both de-
nominations. that 81 per cent of
Unitarian churches and 81 per
cent Of UniverSalist churches in
the country had voted in favor
of union.
AS a result. delegates from the
two denominations will meet at
Andcver. Mass, August 21-24.
for a final vote.
Union is Federal.
What is involved, however, is
not merger but federal union
Of the two groups. The plan
calls for federation of three ad-
ministrative divisions of each de-
neutrality-suspicious., public
relations and education. Later
on, however, it is hoped to ex-
tend the union to all service
agencies, administrative depart
ments and affiliated organiza-
tions above the level Of the par
ish churches. And leaders hope
that a single united liberal
church will eventually result.
There are $50 accredited Unita-
rian churches and 253 accred-
tied Universalist churches in the
country.
A plan for unioa Of the three
major Presbyterian denomina-
tions Of the Nation was accepted
by the general assemblies of
each this month for submission
to the local preSbyterieS.
The denominations are the
Presbyterian Church in the
United States of America, the
Presbyterian Church in the
United States tsoutherro and
the United Presbyterian Church.
Under the proposed plan. the
united church would be known
as the Presbyterian Church of
the United States with some 3.5
million members.
To Discuss Plan.
The three general assemblies
accepted the plan unanimously,
but this was only the first major
step. During the next year the
plan viii be discussed by the
presbyteries of each body which
will make suggestions for re-
visions.
These suggestions will be
taken under consideration by
the union commissions of the
three denominations which will
submit what may be a new draft
Of the merger plan to the 1854
general assemblies. The assem-

blies will then decide whether to
send the revised plan back to
the presbyterles for a vote.
Most Of the opposition to the
Presbyterian union centers in
the Southern Church. During
the past few years. anti-union-
lists had organized for a fight
against the merger. But an
anticipated battle over the issue
at the church's general assembly
meeting at Montreal, N. c..
earlier this month failed to
materialize.
Both opponents and support
ers of union agreed to put the
matter up to the local presby-
teries. Three-fourths of the
presbyteries would have to, in
dorse the union plan before it
could be approved by the general
assembly.
Lutheran Efforts.
AS to Lutheran union efforts,
which have been discussed for
years, latest development is the
disclosure that q "free confer
ence" of all Lutheran bodies in
America looking towards unity
is planned for next year.
This project has been inaugu-
rated by the American Lutheran
Conference which comprises the
Augustana Luthern, Evangelical
Lutheran. United Evangical Lu-
theran and Lutheran Free
Churches.
Four Of the denominations in
the American Lutheran Con-
ference are engaged in negotia-

MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich,

we are responsible, at savings
