For a number of years they have been growing together in co-operation with the result that in the planning for the four hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, which is being widely celebrated this year, a Joint commit tee was organized about two and a half years ago. This committee has launched many enterprises in which there have been hearty co-operation and perfect unanimity. The goal ot the United Lutheran Church seemed so desirable as a re sult of this co-operation that on April 18 the committee made a re quest of the presidents of the three general bodies, the General Synod, the General Council and the United Synod in the South, to take steps to ward complete union of these three bodies and to plan in such a way 'us to give opportunity to other por tions of the church also to co-oper ate in such an effort to form a United Lutheran Church. The presidents acted immediately. The committee on constitution held several meetings and perfected a constitution which has already been approved by the General Synod, which met a few weeks ago in Chi cago. The same will be presented to the General Council in Philadelphia in October and to the United Synod in the South at a special convention in November at Salisbury, N. C. What the sentiment for unification in the General Council is may be seen apointed two years ago to frame a new constitution for the Council. This committee met in Atlantic City the first week in July, but instead of framing a new constitution for their own body, to be submitted in Oc tober, they voted unanimously to "recommend the proposed plan for the United Lutheran Church In Am erica and the proposed constitution." After this constitution has then been approved by the District Synods throughout the United States and Canada, a general convention will be held and the United Lutheran Church of America formed. Thus far, in the matters of faith, there has been absolutely no differences of opinion, and in the method 3 and practical application in tho -vork of the church the slight dUTerny.ofcß are being adjusted and perfect Harmony and unity of action seems certain. Possibly never in the history of large movements In churches has there been anything which has worked so smoothly and developed so rapidly as this movement to unite the sec tions of the church which have been separated for 50 years. Relative Size of Tlircc Bodies The magnitude of this movement Is evidenced by a few facts and fig ures. The largest of the three bodies is the General Council, wjiich was organized just 50 years ago, and which will celebrate its golden jubi lee in Philadelphia in October. Tho General Council, has 14 District Syriods, 1753 ministers, 2606 congre gations and 800,891 baptized mem bers. They have church property valued at $32,916,119 and raised dur ing the past year for all purposes about $5,100,000. The General Synod has 24 district synods, 1425 ministers, 1847 congre gations, 469,721 baptized members. They have church property worth $26,250,252 and raised in round numbers about $3,000,000 during the past year. The United Synod in the South, which is the smallest of the three bodies, has eight district synods, 261 ministers, 194 congregations, 72,462 baptized members, church property worth $2,572,634, and raised in round numbers about $350,000 for all pur poses during the- past year. This makes a total who are going into this union of 46 district synods, 3 439 ministers, 4947 congregations, 1,343,- 075 baptized members, with church property making a total of $61,739,- 005. They raised in round numbers during the past year a total of about $8,450,000. The extent of the work that this new United Church will have on its hands is indicated by the following figures: The General Synod is sup porting at the present time 274 mis sions in this country, distributed throughout 28 different States and the Dominion of Canada. The United Synod in the South has 84 missions distributed in the various portions of the South. The Gen eral Council is at the present time supporting no less than 855 missions, covering the entire United States and Canada, with the exception of the district covered by the United Synod in the South, including Alaska. This makes a total of 1213 missions. This is a larger number of missions than the total number of congregations in existence in the Lutheran Church when the separation took place 50 years ago.
