merely the tonsils, as is the case in the
first instance in ordinary sore throat.
When this condition is met with, &C

METHODIST REUNION.

Chicago Times,
The northern and southern wings of
the Methodist denomination, at meet
ing Just held in Baltimore. conelued to
shake hands across the bloody chasm.
II is a fact worthy Of note that seces-
sion first made its appearance in re-
hgious bodies NIethodism and Pres
byterianism had split long before the
rebels fired on Fort Sumpter In
fact, these two bodies were the pio-
neers i'll the work of secession and il
is beyond all question that their action
had much to do with paving the way
for the political secession which fol-
lowed in io60-'6l. The people of the
south ale, IN the main, a religious
people. With them, as with religious
classes in general, their religious con.
victions are in the nature of a higher
law. Hence when two such powerful
religious bodies divided on the slavery
issue, political secession was accom-
plished with little difficulty.
Peace from the st. Lawrence to the
Dry Tortugus may be regarded as Ger
tain to follow the Baltimore union.
Some assert that this country is Ger
tain TO become either Methodist or
Catholic. If such be the case, il
makes no especial difference how soon
the thing shall begin. If inevitable,
perhaps it may be as well TO com.
mence it now. by sending the Metho-
dists to TO the bat, and letting them
have the first innings.
