UNION or METHoDIsTs-Dr. jose
phus Anderson, of Jacksonville, Florida
has written vigorous article in the
Southern Christian 1dgocate in favor
Of Methodist union. lie was delegate
to the late Southern General Conference,
but was unable to be present, He says
very we'll: " The two Churches agree
perfectly in doctrine, and in church
government the difference is too slight
to be at all in the way. They are al.
most precisely similar in every impor.
taut respect. Why then keep them
apart! Some of our writers answer,
because, If reunited, the Church would
be too large, This is n strange objec.
ton. If union is strength, can a
Church be too large? A Church may,
| grant, have members in it who should
not belong to it, but then the objection
is not to the number of members, but
to their character. The Church cannot
have too many members Of the right
sort, cannot grow too large by proper
additions, aud | opine that our worthy
editors would not object to the growth
of our Church. were it to number tive
millions.
