certainty that the present prosperity will con-
tinue for several years, Will, il is stated,
require the appropriation for railway service for
the next fiscal year to be increased TO at least
$4,000, 900. and the estimate is accordingly placed
at that SUN. The employees Of the railway mail

WHICH is The TRUE CHURCH?

The Baptist ministers yesterday discussed the diff
ferent theories which accepted among men
touching the Church. DR.. Everts, of Jersey City,
led off with an exposition of the Greek word
''ecclesia," which has two meanings IN the New
Testament-a spiritual body kingdom in which
all true believers in Christ included also the
ganizaton or the institution which maintains ordi-
nances and exercises discipline. On this second
head three theories held which the Doctor char
actcrized the Papa, the Pedobaptst and the Bap:
tist. The first holds to the union Of the spiritual
with the organized society. According to this
theory there ordinances but by the per-
mission of the Church; there is no salvation but
Within its pale. Hence all other Christians
excluded This theory, OF course he said could not
be accepted by the great mass Of Protestants. But
the second theory this question holds that Christ
left positive commands for the organization Of
His Church under any particular form. Hence
there miscellaneous societies and miscellaneous
ordinances, and the headship OF Christ the
Church is completely destroyed. The Doctor ad-
mitted that all these might belong to the spiritual
Church Of Christ. but not to the earthly organism.
But ii Christ-if He cannot be divided up among the
sects so as to make of each complete church, has
He therefore lett the world without church organ
izationf mo" said DIR. Everts who found the true
Gospel Church in his own denomination. This is
the pure crystal the Others are impure, imperfect
crystals And this purity and perfection lies in
their mode of baptizing by immersion.
In the discussion that followed Dr. Daniel Reid
expressed his belief that Christ gave the keys His
kingdom to Peter personally. but that as soon as
That apostle had opened the gates the day of
Pentecost the power of the keys exhausted. DR..
Samson thought the Catholic Church had passed
passing from the person to the confessional
idea, and he thought all Christians would come to
this by and by. Mr.. Douglass, VINO spent ten years
as missionary in India, did not think the question
OF ordinances was half important as that of doc
trine. Mr.. Altman, who also spoke. Is "closc COM
