CHURCH UNION.
CONGREGATIONAL AND PRESBYTERIAN. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Chriatoliuroh, Last Night. The following motion, ■ moved by the Rev. W. Saunder (Dimedin), was passed by the council of the Congregational Union to-day: "This council, having had placed before it an account of the cooperating in social service in the Otago Congregational churches with the Presbyterian Church of that province, expresses its hearty appreciation of the action of Presbyterians in inviting such co-operation, and strongly recommends Congregationalists in other parte of the Dominion of New Zealand v to enter on similar co-operation if opportunity offers; it declares its willingness sympathetically to consider any proposals from the Presbyterian Church for yet closer co-operatiou in Christian work, and even expresses its hope that the ever-increas-ing co-operation may eventually issue in such practical federation as will make the ultimate union of the two historical churches both natural and easy, if such union is for the glory of God and the extension of His kingdom; that a copy of this resolution be sent to the chairman of the Presbyterian Social Service Committee in Otago, and the Moderator of I the Presbyterian Church of New Zealand.
