Church Union
Presbyterians and Episcopalians are
getting together. They are doing so In
America and in Australia. Far apart
In miles, the action of Christians in
one country has just exerted marked In
fluence on Christian leaders In the. other.
Throughout the Christian Unity Foun
dation there came to this country the
other day the text of an agreement on
union between the Church of England
In Australia and Tasmania, and the
Presbyerlan church In Australia, ac
companied by a letter of explanation
from the archbishop of Melbourne, the
Rt. Rev. Dr. Henry L. Clarke.
So significant was the agreement for
the Australian union that American
leaders In the bodies named held an In
formal conference in New York this
week. As Individuals they refrained
from committing themselves to all pro
visions of the Australian plan, but by
unanimous resolution they express de
light at steps already taken by others,
and urge wide publicity of the action,
to be encouraged to believe that cor
porate reunion Is possible here.
Changes In St. Peter's.
Very important restorations are being
made in St Peter's Cathedral, Rome.
Three thousand square metres of new
pavement have been laid at an expense
of about $33,000. The pope has paid Into
the hands of Mgr. dl Bisogno, the ad
ministrator of the edifice, 131,030 lire
and another sum of 30,000 lire has
been given for the same purpose by
Cardinal Rampolla. In 1854 Pope Plus
IX made plans to recover all of the
pilasters In the cathedral with rare
marble, but owing to lack of means
never carried out the project.
Side Baptist church, with Mrs. Ehrgott,
will observe "open house" at the ohurch.

Monday from 3 to 6 o'clock In the after

New Zion Church
Plans for the new First African M. E.
Zion church to be erected in the near
future eoraer of East Sixth and Mult
nomah streets are near In g completion,
and the church will be a very handsome
structure. It will be of modified Gothlo
type In light pressed brick with a fin
ished basement and will be 64 by 66
feet. The auditorium will be boVl
shaped, and will seat 800 people, with
seats for 150 more in the balcony. The
Sunday school room will be separated
from the main auditorium by rofling
partitions and a'small room will be pro
vided for the young children.
The church Is to be modern In every
respect, and will have rooms for enter
tainments, with a kitchen in the base
ment, rooms for the women, for the
trustees, the choir and a pastor's study
in the tower. A stereopticon room in
the balcony with a screen which can bo
rolled up out of sight over the organ Is
to bo provided. The church Is to cost
$20,000, and work will commence In the
near future. II. M. Fancher Is the arch
ltect. The residence now on the grounds
Is to be turned around and remodeled to
form a parsonage.
Two Eaptlst pastors' homes were
blessed with the best kind of a Christ
mas present. Rev. and Mrs. A. B. Waltz
of the East Forty-fifth Street church
received a baby boy, and Rev. and Mrs.
E. A. Smith a baby girl. Santa left
them a little before Christmas to get
the most Important matters cared for
first.

No Pew Rent
With the largest membership of the
Presbyterian churches of th United
States, the Central Presbyterian churohv
of Brooklyn, N. Y., has decided' to abol
ish the system of raising money for its
expenses by selling its most desirable
pews. It will also recommend that the
practice of pew renting be abolished
throughout the United States 'in tho
Presbyterian churches. The Central
church spends about $50,000 each year
which has been raised until the present
by pew rent
"There Is nothing new in this move
ment," said Dr. John Boyd, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church, "and
there are ninny other churches as largo
as the Central church which have done
the same. In our church we have a
double system, which Includes both pew
renting for those who wish to contrib
ute In that way, and subscription for
those who do not. The action of Cen
tral church does not Indicate a general
movement"
