Church union lelng something or a fashion nowadays, and the New Yerk Independent being given te promoting matrimony be be bo teoen denominations who have distinctions without any great dilleronces, I te v. L H. l.erenr. writes le that Journal suggesting that the Hvangellcal association mid the Unlted Drothren in Christ have been cultivating a kindly acquaintance theae many years, and have recently been unchanging glances of a mero ardent and allecllouate uature; but both have been quite tee bashful te glve dollnlte expression te their desire ler union." Peculiar local Intorest attaches te such a project net only bocaiwe both these denomi nations are largely ropresentod In this city and county, but because, as Kev. Leronz writes, "both denomination took thelr rlse among tlie Germans or Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, during the latter half el the last century. Whlle Otterbeln gave te the moveinont which llnally culminated in the organization or the denomination or the United iiretliren in uurisi us aggiunuiYu rnvivallstloteiideiioy long before the Meth Meth edlsts came te this country, and whlle Albrechl, lieginuiiig a number of years Inter, whs mero Indebted te the Methe dists, yet se thoroughly was thelr spirit alike that It may lie said te be the same.

Asidolreui merovor merevor merover blago, thore is probably less dlilerouce be tween their disciplines, or rules or order, than three general conferences would make In either el thorn. A union would require an adjustment of words rather than or ldeas.1' , , lL In doctrine, the only variation Is that the r.vangellcal association Insists a llttle mero strongly and unanimously ou the doctrines et the "higher lire" than de the Vulted Drethren. In all ether respects, both churches allke held the regular Kvaugellcal Anulniaubodyetdoctrlno. In church gov ernment thodlllerenco, are equally unessen tial. Whlle the United Hrethren recognlze but ene order or clergy the elders the Evangelical association, without accepting the vvtiole episcepal sjsteui, has adopted the additional order or deacons. On the ether hand, ihe Culled Drethren, ewlug te the fact that In the early history or the church a large share or its most sue cess I u I work was accomplished by local conferences, with the regular Itinerants or pastors, while the Evangelical association has limited thorn te the quarterly conference. This dillorenco Is almost extinguished, how hew how eer by the fact that most United Drothren conferences have adopted the policy el re fusing admittance te candidates who de Het e.xect te enter the regular pastorate. Of course, in the details el administration, and in the unwritten laws which are elten se powerful in the Ufa ei every organization, there nre nuiubcilei-s llttle dillereuces, all nl which will gradually readjust themselves without needing formal discussion.

The Cnlted Drethren have made immense progress in all these resisxts, and their dillor diller dillor onco is net new sntllclently great te prevent their union. The question of legislation ou subjects or moral leierm, which prevented a union in W, has also assumed a mero lavor laver lavor ableasiecb The beiielibf that would uccrue rretn the union of these denominations be se Immedi ately upon the surface, that it is hardly nec essary te catalogue them. In their virtues they compliment each ether, and lu their faults they would correct each 'ther.
