weather were "knOcked with HIM. lie IS
still in the NJ. E. Church, and laughs at such
stuff as Argus produces.
A distinguished Methodist minister some
wears ago, witnessing the immersion OF some
of his own members (he got another minister
to offciate for him) was Impressed as he saw
delicate female come up out OF the water re-
ioicing while blocks of ice were floating around
her. SMy heart was humbled, he says, and
| felt to mingle my tears of gratitude with
hers"
He turned away from that scene, determined to
honestly investigate the claims OF the Baptists
He did so-taking the Bible as his text book,
and soon became follower of his Lord in
baptism. He has just gone to his reward, after
receiving over 2OOO believers into the Baptist
Churches of which he was pastor after his
baptism. :,
WHY is it that a scene so similar should give
rise to feelings so different? One is melted to
tears-humbled- ridicules and regards
it as cursed abuse" The reason of this,
Mr.. Editor, is, because the sight of the eyes
no less than the words of the lips, is greatly
affected by the state of the heart.
Many Baptist mother would laugh heartily
over Argus article, and remark as they closed
poor Argus his heart is hard, but his
head is soft.
All have to add in conclusion, Mr.. Editor,
is, this the argument (?) of Argus dOsn t
suit the season. He had better return to the
service of Juno.

OF Church Government, Book of Discipline,
Catechism, Confession of Faith, etc., have
never been changed, and really there was no
vital distinction; it was merely ideal. So far
as the membership was concerned there was
little or no division. There are two Presbyte-
rles In this State, the Presbytery of Whining
ton and the Presbytery of Lewes, the former
New the latter Old School, yet the congrega-
tions of the various church made no distinction
so far as we can learn.
The effort at reunion just made by the two
branches of the Methodist Church was unsuc-
cessful, but even the effort was good augury
for the future. 1t is locked upon as the be-
ginning Of move in that direction, which will
be successful at no distant day. This effort
was made on the 7th of this month, when Bish-
ops James and Simpson, of the Methodist Epis-
copal Chulch, visited the Bishops of the NJ
Z. Church South, in session at St. Louis, and
presented them with an address, as recommen-
ded by the Board of Bishops in 1865 The
address states that the cause which led to the
separation from us Of both the Wesleyan and
Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has pass
ed away, and we trust the day is not far dis
tant when there shall be but one organization,
which shall embrace the whole Methodist fam,
lily in the United States" Inreply the South
ern Bishops state that the slavery question was
not, in any proper sense, the cause but the oc-
casion of the separation, which they regret as
much as the Church North. 1t was the theo-
ries evolved in connection with the slavery is
sue. There must be an establishment of fro
ternal relations, before official relations can be
maintained proftably to both, and until such
relations are fully established they decline to
urge reunion.
The division took place in 1874, and we be-
lieve this is the first time the Bishops of the
two branches of the Church have had formal
meeting since the separation. The meeting
was cordial one.

RELIGIOUS DENoMINATIoNAL REUNIONS
There is much public interest now being given
10 the efforts in both the Presbyterian and Meth
odist Churches to effect reunion of those two
large bodies of Christians.
The Presbyterian General Assemblies ofboth
the Old and New School branches of the Church
are now in session in New York-both convened
in different churches of that city on Thursday
last 1t is now almost certain that basis of
reunion, which has been pending since 1866,
will be agreed upon, two.thirds Of the Pres
byteries of the country having voted in favor
of the move last year. The Old School branch
seems to desire an explanation and rescind-
ing Of some of the terms of agreement. which
il 10 though can be amicably settled. The de
nomination has been divided for over thirty
years, the separation taking place in Philadel-
phia in 1888. Three Presbyteries had been ex-
PEELED from the Assembly in 81, and when the
Assembly of '38 meet in Pbiladelphia they
were still refused admission, whereupon they
withdrew aud assembled in Rev. DIR. Barnes
church, where another set of officers were elect
ed and new organization formed. The form

CUBA.-There are 50 many conflicting ac-
counts about the insurrection in Cuba that it
is impossible to form any correct impressions
concerning its probable success or failure. To-
day the announcement comes that the Span
iards are suppressing it; tomorrow the news
may be that the patriotic Cubans are sure of
gaining their independence. The latest and
most authentic accounts are decidedly in favor
of the latter. Cen Cespedes, head Of the Gu
ban forces, sends dispatches to Washington
that in recent battle between the Cubans
and Spaniards, on the railroad between Neuvi-
tas to Puerto Principe, the latter were badly
defeated, losing 1000 men in killed and wound
ed. The Cuban forces, under Quesada, num-
bered 800 men, who were reinforced during
the engagement by 1000. About 400 colored
troops, on the Spanish side, shot their officers
and deserted to the Cubans. This shows that
the Cuban forces are organized, and cohtradicts
the assertions of the Spaniards to the contrary.
This battle has added greatly to the prestige Of
the Cubans.

Mr. EDITOR We are glad to mention
through your columns our last visit to st. Glenn
ents Church, Kent CO., Md, to witness the rite
of confirmation celebrated by Bishop Lay.
Thursday being pleasant we drove moderately
and arrived there at 1890 A. NJ. and were
agreeably surprised to find Smyrna so well rep
resented. While in a group, cOngratulatlng
each other on our safe arrival, and viewing the
surroundings of the ancient Church, the Bishop
presented himself and was introduced to each
one After few moments conversation it
was announced that the time for service had
arrived, when each one of our little group was
provided with comfortable seat. The build
ing is very ancient, dating back more than a
century. The sermon was preached by the
elusive Rev. J. MOrsell, ID. D., and Rev.
Messrs. Lance, Watson, Goodwin and Hutch
inson assisted in the services Rev. Mr.. Wat
son, the former Rector, presented the candi-
dates, ten in number. The Holy Communion
was celebrated by the Bishop, assisted by Rev.
MessrS. Watson and Smith, and a large body
of COMMITMENTS atteSted the vitality and earn
estness of the congregation. The whole service
was equally glad and earnest with hearty res
pOnses and full congregational singing, which
argues we'll for the training of all. We under
stand they intend to call Rev. Mr.. WetmOre,
of North Carolina, to become rector OF St Glenn
cts At the conclusion of the service the Bish-
op, with several of the clergy, and our own lit
tie party, were Hospitality entertained by Col
j. Blackiston. Afterwhich we returned home
praising God for His many blessings.
