TIM old Missouri Republican is
now the 81. Louis Republic, and the
rciuvcnutcd organ of the Missouri
democracy appears with the name
of Chos. III. Jones, late of the Times
Union of Jacksonville, Florida, as
editor. In announcing the change
of nnmc the editor justly remarks
that the paper has long suffered
nom the disadvantage of having a
title at variance with its politics,
and II was thought there never
would Ice a better time than now to
restore the harmony between the
two, nUsmuch us It involves only
the sacrifice of u syllable. We
warmly approve lhc change, as it

paper but it relieves wpubHcuus

A Bin Yield of Wheat.

acres and he got from it $40 bushels OF
wheat, an average of a fraction over 81
bushels per acre. The wheat was
what is known as the Mediterranean
variety. This is the biggest yield we

Christian Unity.

There was an unusually large audience at
the Congregational church yesterday morn
ing, despite the threatening skies and chilly
air, making the home fircsides peculiarly at
t~ractive. The music, as usual. was a spec
tally pleasing feature Of the services. TIL
quartette gave several selections, which
were so rendered as to amply repay those
who had hesitated whether to stay at home
or go to church. TIL sermon by the pastor,
Rev. G. w. Crofts, was on the familiar text,
Behold how good and pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity.n
He described unity as not necessarily uni.
formity Of opinion. Mems heads might
differ and yet their hearts beat in olosest
sympathy. There could be a unity Of hopes
and purposes, of sympathIes and affection,
together with wide differences on matters
nOn-essential.
Christian unity was good because it tended
to the clarifying God, which was the true
aim of life. In times past some of the most
cruel wars and bitter prosecutions had beet
carried on in the name of christianity. They
were not inspired by Christ or His teachings,
but were caused by the weakness and basat
ness of men who thought or claimed that
they were friends of Christ. The enemies of
christianity had used this as against the
church. Such wars and prosecutions did not
glorify God. Unity, based on love, was the
true glorification. Unity was good because
it gave power to christianity. The grams of
powder, the drops of water, the flakes Of
snow, when single and separate, would not
harm a child, but together they carried death
and destruction, they swept away cities and
overturned mountains. There was strength
in union. -,
Unity was good because 1t could only be
gained by mutual love. 1t was the love Of
the old flag that caused the thousands OF
boys to rally to save the union, when
mere laws or statute hooks could not have
inspired to heroic action. Unity was pleas
ant. Religion was most delightful. There
these there was exceeding great 10Y. BY
striving TO be charitable toward all men, by
living helpful lives, by deeds of indness and
acts of love, life here was made to partake
of that of heaven beyond, that rest from tur-
pether in unity.
