The Chicago Tribune appeals for
consolidation of similar religious sects.
1t Gays: Suppose that the Methodists
and Episcopalians were united In one
church, the Presbyterians and CoDgre-
gationalists in another. and the Unita-
rians and Univcrsalists In another,
cannot any one see that the usefulness
of all would be immensely increased,
aas 90 maHy separate Churches WOuiu
be greatly relieved 2"
And further: "Whilc the churches
remain apart IL is inevitable that there
must continue to be numerous little
aud weak congregations. constantly 10
debt and hampered for money, attend
ed by feeble, uninfluential c0ngrcga-
tions, preached to by half-starved,
weak ministers. They can only pay
very small salaries, and consequently
can only obtain very small preaching.
Starye u preacher and you will get q
starvcliDg sermon. The minister who
does not get enough to support him
self and family cannot DO expected to
have mnch heart or interest in his
work while hunger guaws At his vitals.
Such churches cannot do anything in
missionary work. They cannot take
proper care Of their own poor. They
cannot contribute literally to the
worlds charities. To build and main
tain churches in manner to attract
people requires great deal of money,
and this keeps them constantly impe-
cnnious. In addition to this, these
little churches must be in constant
competition with each other, involving
no end OF wrangling and heart bnrn-
iugs.''

"rhe truth, rs VIC know it, PERSONAL
ly and positively, ia this: The speech
was written in hurried manner. just
before supper, on the evening it was
delivered, and written in not less than
twenty minutes. The President was
taking ride over Des Moines with a
gentleman, who brought the public
school question mp for conversation.
Immediately after the Southern qnes.
ton had been discussed. His compan-
ion expressed his pleasure at kno wing
the Presidents views on these sub
jects, and said to him he wished he
wonld some time soon make them
pubic. The President said he believed
he would, II he had time, prepare a
few remarks upon these two questions
as he would probably he called upon
ct the Reunion meeting in the evening
to speak, The ride was shortened q
half hour for this purpose, and in that
time, twenty or twenty-five minutes
preceding supper, the President jotted
OIL the short speech which is already
90 famous, and which occasionns the
critics Of the prees SO mu chwonder-
ment, and trouble, and raal distress.
II is simply the Presidents opinion, ON
subjects he had thought much about,
put in words, in his usual fashion of
compacted sentences and crystalized
thoughts, and no waste. Good sense
Is always good grammar. and pro-
found conviction in mind however
