JONATHAN MoRGAN-The Sunday Adver
HSeT of yesterday publishes a sketch Of the life
of the Oldest member of the Cumberland Bar,
Jonathan Morgan, now in his ninety seventh
year, written by himself, from which we learn
that he was born in Brimfield, Mass, March
4th, 1773, his great grandfather being one of the
first settlers of that town. When thirteen
years of age be met with an accident which
has rendered him an invalid ever since. He
graduated at Union College in 1903, read law
and commenced practice in Shrewsbury, Mass
in 1906, and remained there till 1872, when be
located at Alma, Maine.
In 1914 he began on steam and set country
blacksmith at work to build an engine for q
boat he had built of fifteen tons. The engine
was failure, but another engine being built
in 1915 16 he, in the latter year, ran the boat to
Brunswick at four miles an hour speed. In
1918 he built another boat and engine at
Brunswick, got out OF funds, and, help being
offered by Mr.. Wild If the boat should be pus
into his bands for security, Mr.. Morgan ac-
cepted the offer and then Wild "went back" on
him. By this speculation he lost $1,000. In
1919 he taught school in Brunswick, and 10
1920 moved to Portland where he resumed the
profession of the law.
In 1881 he set up in the glue business near
the Aims House and sunk $4,000 in that oceu-
| patton. In 1850 be turned farmer and was un-
| fortunate, his partner turning out worthless
scamp, and in 1859 he lost all the building,
on the farm by fire. He then continued prsc.
tice till 1866 when the great fire burnt him
out. Since then he has been dependent either

A good index OF the prosperity and wealth OF the

BR0THERLY KINDNESS.-Ihe Chr1S-
tan AdUocdtc discusses this question,
In viewaof the efforts now being made
for a Union Of the evangelical
churches. The following extracts
arc worth Wondering:
Is our relationship to one another
never forgotten? Do we always reckon
ourselves as brethren2 Perhaps there
is to day no one thing that the follow
ers of the Savior should more care
fully consider than their treatment OF
each other-no one question that each
should more earnestly propose to
himself than that which will conduct
him to a thorough examination OF his
spirit, and words and actions toward
those who are so closely related to
him, if he himself is q child of God.
There is, indeed, conversation and
discussion enough about the propriety
and importance of union. There IS
no lack of periodicals, and ~associa-
tons, and agents devoted to exhorta-
tons that we should not fall out By
the way, but follow after charity.
But surely in the very exhortation
there is a painful reflection on the
character of the church. What sort
of a family must that be where there
is room for admonitions and impor
tuuities to be at peace within itself ?
What kind Of brothers and sisters
must they be where there has to be
a platform and a convention, and
agents and speeches, to induce them
to recognize each other as the chill
dren of the same parents. and live
together as persons should who are
so united? Nor is it a mere matter
of inference that there are divisions
and alterations among those who
claim to be born of our Father in
Heaven. It is only to a limited ex-
tent that different denominations
really fraternize. In too many in
stances they look coldly upon
the attempts and enterprises of
each other nay, does it never
occur that they misconstrue and
disparage each other, even in the pres
ence of their common enemies? Con-
gregations acknowledging the same
standards and observing the same
forms-parts of the same religious as
sociatiOn-Often act as rival rather
than as kindred agencies; are found
belittling aud berating sister societies
as inferior to themselves In position,
or wealth, or fashion; and really
seem to prefer an increase that comes
Of a sisters decrease. There are
sometimes arrangements 10 the same
congregation. Little parties. and
cliques, and sets are formed, and
there is absolutely no agreement ex-
cept that the different parties do as
semble themselves within the same
house Of worship. To WELD them as
one body against the world, the flesh.
humanity and Heaven, is an impossi-
bility.
