THE PROTESTANT CONGRESS AT WoRMs.
Some few days ago we learned that Pro-
testant Congress was to be held at Worms
By later cable dispatch we are informed
that the Congress is to meet on the 3lst OF
May, and that the object of the Congress is to
take into consideration the recent invitation
of the Pope to the Protestant Churches to
send representatives to the Ecumenical Coun-
Gil and to frame reply to the same. Worms
has a historic connection with the great reli-
gious revolution of the sixteenth century. II
was here that on the 18th and 18th OF April,
1921, Luther confronted the combined forces
of the Church and the world. At Worms
the Reformation properly began. Since then
the Church of the West has been split into
two great hostile DIVISIONS. Since the Coun-
Gil OF Trent, which was complete failure,
no attempt has been made to have the divid-
ed Church represented in one congress until
now. we have no expectation that the Pro
testants OF Germany will agree to accept the
ropes invitation; but as their reply will oe
document of some historic interest we snail
await the result of this Congress with
certain amount of interest-N. I. Herald

YELLOW RIVER vs.. LowLAND.-But few
streams, more classic bat less notorious,
can swell and splurge and recover their
tranquility in the Incompatible short
time usually occupied by Yellow river.
A mere shower no sooner descends than
it is gathered up, and thrown into the
Kankakee in almost an hour. The deni-
zens of east Plymouth are just at present
submerged. 1t could not surprise any one
should the inhabitants in that vicinity
awaken some dreary morn and discover
themselves very dead from the effects of
s.rangulation in the watery clement
In our humble estimation there are more
desirable places in the world for dwellings
than in that particular plat. 1t should

logical resort for amphibious tribes, eth
er use for which it is admirably adapted.
Why bridge was constructed across the
main channel in that region, we are at q
loss to understand the bridge should
have extended to Michigan street, or the
locality provided with ferry-boats. No
doubt lots in that region could be filled
with imported earth at a cost of few
thousand dollars each,-the money could
be procured by exporting fish, alligators
and frogs, or sale ofcows, hogs and chick
ems annually drowned thereabout. If
this plan should prove unavailing, it
might be well to raise few more "levys."
But above all, don't compel suffering hui
mainly to take that route, by neglecting
the bridge one block above it. This
matter of building bridges in the most
awkward out ofthe-way places, for the
purpose of rendering valuable valueless
property, is poor economy. Let the
cards of warning be removed from the
old bridge,its :imbers strengthened, and
travel once more resumed on that beauti.
full and capacious street, and not compel
travellers, business men, and pleasure
seekers to pursue the blind-alley now
opened and.called street, having no side
walk, narrow, dirty, muddy, and some Of
the time overlooked, at the end of which
nundation, mud and slime prevails. How
our town authorities could be induced tc
extend Laporte street and stop travel on
CAIRO Streets profound mystery. True
it is certain interested men assisted in the
construction of the Laporte street bridge
yet equally true it is that the corporation
assisted in this scheme to promote indi
vidual interests of property owners. Nc
public benefit arises from this awkward
change of base, but beauty, convenience
and general harmony are outraged. There
Is balance of power in the political ele
ment of this corporation, which can com.
pei the board of trustees to seek the gen
eral ms tead Of individual welfare pre-
scented for their consideration. We fine
that the general sentiment seconds THU
plea to have travel opened on CAIRO St.
and when the bridge is rendered passablt
experience will show which route is pre-
ferred.
