51 newly ordained ministers at 6

Preliminary discussions between

One by one the various subsidi

combined.
Since then have come the draft

Dr. Nate Perry, Los Angeles,
growing out of the Pilgrim set
tlement in New England, has:
been representative of "Free
Church Protestantism" in thisl
country, with final authority in
government resting in local con-l
Riegations. Like the Christian
Church with which it merged in
1931, its beginnings go back to
early English speaking settlers in
America. The Evangelical and
the Reformed fellowships were
derived from German and Scandi
navian implantings in America
and were "governed from the
top" by a synodical type of or
ganization, the difficult but suc
cessful combination of these tra
ditions is regarded as hopeful by
those of many denominations who
urge unity among Christian
churches.
