The washington City PreSOy-
terry of the Presbyterian Church,

unanimously yesterday for plan
of union aimed at uniting the
three major Presbyterian church
bodies of our country.

million members: the, Presby-
terian Church. U. S. (Southern) ;.
100000 members, and the United
Presbyterian Church, 220. 900,
each approved resolutions call
ing for the presbyteries to vote
on the plan Of union.
The action came after several
years of negotiating among the
three national bodies. Assembly
approval means the presbyteries
of each denomination will vote
on the issue. If the necessary
confirming votes are obtained.
the 1855 general assemblies will
cast the final ballots.
3.5 Million Members.
Approval all along the line
would result in the merging Of
the three bodies into an ap-
proximate 3.5 million member
Presbyterian Church of the
United States in May, 1856.
Success of the plan is gen.
orally believed to rest with ac-
ton of the Southern Church.
According to the rules. two
thirds of the Northern Church's
256 presbyteries, three fourths
of the Southern Church's "a
presbyteries. and two-thirds of
the United Presbyterian
Church's 81 presbyteries are
needed to approve the action.
Both the Northern and United
Churches presbyteries are ex-
pected to vote overwhelmingly
for the plan. But there is strong
opposition in the Southern
church, and it is generally
agreed the vote there, especially
because of the three-fourths
vote requirement, will be close.
According to the latest avail
able reprots, IL presbyteries in
the Southern church have voted
against union and one for.
Twenty-Five negative preSby-
terry votes will defeat the mer-
ger movement.
