Preserving the Extra.

j. Fletcher Williams, secretary of the
State Historical society, has just placed in
position on the roll among the framed
relics secured, couple of newspaper
publications, that generations to come
will be among the most interesting Of the
entire historical collection. The frame in
closing the specimens is about sixteenby
twenty inches. The publications are an
extra of the St. Paul Press of Saturday,
April Is, 1865, announcing the assassi-
nation of President Abraham Lincoln, and
an extra of the Evening Journal of July
2, last, of the assassination President
James A. Garfield, with portrait of the
victim. Mr.. Williams has carefully pre-
served the first named publication during
all the intervening years, and with the ap-
pearance of the Epening Journal extra, Of
the assassination of President Garfield, q
small fly sheet like the first named, con-
ceived the happy idea of framing the two
side BY side for preservation.

DIFFERENCES IN DOCTRINE.

Now, / beseech you, brethren, by the name
of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the
same thing, and that there be no divisions
among you; but that ye be perfectly Joined to-
gether in the same mind and in the same Judg-
ment-L. CORINTHIANS, l:l0.
Since the apostle wrote his eplstle to
the Corinthians no less than thousand
and twenty-five religious denominations
and sects have been established, If the
last enumeration is to be believed Part
of these-in fact the major1ty-are or
claim to be Christians; about one-third
are what we choose to call pagans-vari-
Gus branches of the Mohammedan, Bud
dhist, Voodou and other Asiatic and At
rican systems of religion. With the lat
ter the GLOBE has nothing to do. nor had
the apostle any reference to such relig-
ions when he penned his injunctions to
the church at Corinth.
Unity is an essential elem ent of all or
CARNATIONS Without it they must nee
essarily fall to the ground. So it will be
IN the Christian church. If there is a
failure to unite on minor matters the re-
ligion will disappear. But there is a
prospect of an early unien of all the
Christian sects on one common basis.
Men may disagree as to certain minor
points of belief, but will not differ on the
cardinal principles Of the Christian re-
ligion. Good progress has been made IN
this direction through the efforts of the
Evangelical alliance. This association is
Is composed of men of all creeds, and
generally of the most liberal among
them. Presbyterians, Baptists, Metho-
dists. Congregationalists and score OF
other denominations are represented

cile some of the differences that at pres
emit exist between the sects. Whether it
will succeed or fail will remain for the
future to determine.
But whatever the outcome of the
efforts of the Evangelical Alliance may
be, is it not suggestive of religious de-
moralization to know of the existence of
more than five hundred sects, each claim
ing the title of Christians, and each diff
fering from all others on minor points of
doctrinei The teachings of Christ were
not so ambiguous as to warrant so many
discussions as have arisen. There is, as
all admit, room for dispute as to the cor
rectness of the translations of certain
paragraphs in the New Testament; there
is no room for question as to the general
tenor of the gospel that Christ came to
establish. Its essence is comprised in the
golden rule: Whatsoever you would
have men do unto you, do ye even so to
them" This trite sentence should be the
corner stone of every Christian denomin-
alton. 1t should especially be adopted as
the motto of the Evangelical Alliance,
for it is the basis of all true religlon-the
foundation upon which the Saviour of
mankind ought to establish the new dis
pensation.
Until the churches come to an agree
ment on general points of doctrine, they
cannot expect to grow. At least they
cannot expect to recruit largely from the
ranks of those who have been brought up
outside of denominational influences.
Intelligence has made gigantic strides
within the past half century, and men
are not willing to accept the ipse daa't
of any man, even though he may wear
priestly robes. The fact that the doctors
of divinity disagree on points that are
variouslySegarded as material and imma-
'terial, is seized upon as an excuse for re-
jecting the whole Christian creed. 1t is
time that many of the differences that
exist between the sects were reconciled.
An earnest effort in that direction should
be made at any rate.
