The Church Union Issue An issue of vital interest to mem bers of Presbyterian churches is now being discussed throughout the United States. It concerns a plan for union of three bodies of the Presbyterian faith into a single united church. The plan, if passed, would unite! the Presbyterian church in the Un ited States of America (Northern), the Presbyterian church in the Un ited States (Southern) and the Un ited Presbyterian church in North America (Northern group similar to the Associate Reformed Presby terian church in the South). The United church would be known as the Presbyterian Church of the United States. The final plan will be presented to the three genera] assemblies next spring. In the meanwhile the tentative plan is being studied and! suggested changes will be submit ted to a negotiating committee which will draw mp final plans. Meetings are now being held in this and other states to hear the arguments on bbth sides. Such a meeting was held here a few nights ago with prominent laymen ex pressing their opposition and ap proval of the merger. Representa tives of the three groups will meet November 11 in Cincinatti, Ohio,’ to consider any sought changes. Discussions on the issue are now Give a boy a Scout uniform and you are on the way to bringing out his qualities of responsibility and citi zenship.
