UNION AMONG METHop1srs.

Much has been said of late years about unior
among Presbyterians; it may be of interest to our
readers to know how the case stands between Meth
odists North and South 1t will be remembered
that that the Bishops of the Northern Church
made proposals last year to the Bishops of the
Southern Church, which looked to an organic re
union. Their reply was document digni6ed in
its tone, clear and decisive in its terms They did
not think union practicable or desirable while so
many and such great stumbling blocks were unre-
moved.
The language of the Methodist press in the
South has been not less decided. None of the
papers in that Church is more prominent in its
influence than the Nashville Advocate 1t holds
such language as the following:
at seems impossible for our best and most in.
telhgent friends at the North to understand our
position. Now we wish to say plainly and en-
phaticaly, that never since the plan for it de
vised By our Northern brethren, have we had any
desire or intention either to ask the Northern
Church to come into an organic union with u.s. or
to accept any invitation to go into an organic union
with the Northern Church We have always been.
and are now. ready on honorable terms, such as
are contained in the Plan of Separation, to main
tain friendly, fraternal relation to our Northern
brethren-nothing more.
The Richmond AdvOcdte, also paper of wide
influence, has discussed the question freely, and
announces the same conclusion. 1t says of the
Northern Methodist press:
"'Y on make proposition for union the matter
has been considered by your Bishops; it is now in
the hands of a commission of your Church; and
vet with one exception, we think the whole press
of the Church occupies It's time and power in re-
Wiling, misrepresenting, and abusing the Church
South. 1t then adds, that the proposition for re-
union should either be taken back or the efforts to
'disparage and degrade the Church, South, should
cease."
The Southern Christian Advocate Macon
says that the above is the opinion held by the
members of the Church generally, and that this
cordial approval of what has been said and done by
their Bishops and preachers, will be made mani.
fest in the votes of the Lay members, should the
subject come before the next General Conference.
The New Orleans Advocate has long editorial
in which it says" Union-never 1t is willing
to hold fraterna but not an organic relation to the
Northern Church. 1t says:
1--WE are in no mood either to WOO or to be
wooed by you; for anything closer than the rels,
ton which should subsist between one branch of
Christ's Church and another, we do not desire. :"
Bishop Andrews, commencing the position taken
BY this Editor, says: "Former experience has
taught us that we cannot trust our Northern
friends. We beg them to let us alone: this is all
we ask of them"
1t is not unlikely there may be others besides
Methodists in the SoIth who have come to sim.
liar conclusion.

Close Communion. Our Baptist brethren will
probably not very long be able to keep their rank
and file unbroken on the basis of close commu-
Mon. 1t has been completely shattered in Eng
land, and in this country the indications of break
are becoming more and more manifest Not wish
ing them evil but good thereby, our fervent prayer
is that the day of their deiverance from exclusive
ness may speedily come.
In the meantime it is interesting to notice what
conflicting views and practices prevail among those
who are still regarded as of the straitest sect "
For example, the Waterman and Reflector of
Boston, one Of the ablest Baptist papers in the
country, made recently this statement
"Baptists are quite various in their usages as
respects communion, every church belna ta'o to
itself under Christ, the Laughter We should
suppose that many churches would make welcome
to their communion all baptized believers
For this latitudinarian sentiment the Examiner
and Chronicle of New York takes it to task very
decidedly. 1t says:
"We should suppose no such thing as that many
Baptist churches would welcome to their commu-
Mon baptized believers from Pedobaptist churches,
for the good reason that they could not do 1t tth
OUt Str7 enderlng their consistency, ana end0TStng
at second hand lohat they would not endorse dt-
rectly,"
But the battle becomes quite interesting when
brother Graves (of Tennessee Baptist memory
fires over cross shot at his New York brother:
"Pulpits should be as close as. the Lords Sup
per- Who as so blind that he cannot see q
Brother Graves is good deal like old General
Jackson, of whom Col. Benton says that he never
